Section 45-49-42 Legislative findings. The Legislature of the State of Alabama declares and
finds that the business of operating massage parlors as defined herein are businesses affecting
the public health, safety, and general welfare; that such businesses have been used in Mobile
County and elsewhere as fronts for the conduct of prostitution, assignation, and lewdness;
that the method of operation of such business generally is such that female persons bargain
with male customers for illicit sexual activities, including prostitution and sodomy, only
after performing so-called massages while the male customer is nude, and after engaging the
customer as part of the so-called massage in sexual foreplay to the point of sexual arousal;
that because of the method of operation the gathering of evidence by law enforcement officers

Section 37-16-2 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature finds and declares the following:
(1) More advanced communication capabilities, broadband facilities, and services are needed
in many rural and underserved areas of the state. (2) Electric providers in those rural and
underserved areas are capable of providing infrastructure for such advanced communications
capabilities and providing, directly or indirectly, broadband facilities or services. (3)
The investment in and development of advanced communications capabilities for providing broadband
facilities and services are necessary to better serve the public in those rural and underserved
areas. (4) The continued lack of advanced communication capabilities, broadband facilities,

these discrepancies. (5) It is the public policy of this state to encourage...

misuse of prescription medications classified as controlled substances under the Alabama Uniform
Controlled Substances Act constitute a serious threat to the health, safety, and welfare of

5-18-2
Section 5-18-2 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent. (a) The Legislature
finds as facts and determines that: (1) There exists among citizens of this state a widespread
demand for small loans. The scope and intensity of this demand have been increased progressively
by many social and economic forces; (2) The expense of making and collecting small loans,
which are usually made on comparatively unsubstantial security to wage earners, salaried employees
and other persons of relatively low incomes, is necessarily high in relation to the amounts
lent; (3) Such loans cannot be made profitably under the limitations imposed by existing laws
relating to interest and usury. These limitations have tended to exclude lawful enterprises
from the small loan field. Since the demand for small loans cannot be legislated out of existence,
many small borrowers have been left to the mercy of those willing to bear the opprobrium and
risk the penalties of usury for a large profit; (4)...
