Section 22-27-40 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that: (1) The state, its subdivisions
and the nation face an emerging crisis in solid waste management; (2) Proper waste management
is an increasingly complex issue involving the need for reducing the volumes of waste requiring
disposal, properly managing wastes to reduce the likelihood of both short-term and long-term
threat to human health and the environment, and assuring that adequate, environmentally secure,
waste management and disposal facilities will be available at reasonable costs to accommodate
wastes generated in the state; (3) Provision for necessary systems, facilities, technology
and services for solid waste management and resource recovery is a matter of important public
interest and concern, and action taken in this regard will be for a public purpose and will
benefit the public welfare; (4) Solid waste management problems are potentially statewide
in scope and necessitate state and local action through the...

Section 41-9-990 Legislative findings. The Legislature of Alabama finds and declares all of
the following: (1) On Sunday, March 7, 1965, citizens participating in a peaceful march while
seeking their voting rights were beaten as they attempted to cross the Edmond Pettus Bridge
in Selma, Alabama. (2) The initial impetus for the march on March 7, 1965, derived from the
killing of Jimmy Lee Jackson in Marion, Alabama, and the majority of the citizens on the march
were citizens of Perry County, Alabama, who had traveled in a processional from Marion via
Highway 14 to Selma, Alabama. (3) On March 21, 1965, the Selma to Montgomery March brought
international attention to the State of Alabama. (4) Over 25,000 people marched together in
a fight for the right to vote, free and fair from any discrimination. (5) Due in part to the
effort of the participants in the Selma to Montgomery March, the federal government enacted
the Voting Rights Act of 1965, thereby protecting the right of all citizens...

45-39A-11.01
Section 45-39A-11.01 Legislative findings. The Legislature hereby finds and determines that
the following conditions exist: (1) That it is to the interest of the citizens of the City
of Florence that there be established in that city a civic center; (2) that such civic center
will be a great cultural asset and constitute a great civic betterment for all of the people
of Florence; and (3) that it is desirable that there be established to operate, control, and
manage the civic center a public corporation created by this part, vested with the powers
conferred on the corporation by this part. The Legislature declares that it is the purpose
of this part to facilitate, in the manner hereinafter prescribed, the establishment, maintenance,
and operation of a civic center in the City of Florence and to provide for the operation and
management of such civic center by the public corporation created by this part. (Act 89-699,

9-13-271
Section 9-13-271 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the
application of prescribed burning is a landowner property right and a land management tool
that benefits the safety of the public, the environment, the natural resources, and the economy
of Alabama. Therefore, the Legislature finds that: (1) Prescribed burning reduces naturally
occurring vegetative fuels within wildland areas. The reduction of the fuel load reduces the
risk and severity of major catastrophic wildfire, thereby reducing the threat of loss of life
and property, particularly in urbanizing areas. (2) Many of Alabama's natural communities
require periodic fire for maintenance of their ecological integrity. Prescribed burning is
essential to the perpetuation, restoration, and management of many plant and animal communities.
Significant loss of the state's biological diversity will occur if fire is excluded from fire-dependent
ecosystems. (3) Forest lands constitute significant...

16-1-11.1
Section 16-1-11.1 Autonomy of nonpublic schools - Legislative findings. The Legislature finds
and declares all of the following: (1) That a parent or guardian in Alabama has a constitutional
right to choose the type of K-12 education that is best for his or her child, whether public
or nonpublic, religious or nonreligious, and including home-based education. (2) That many
parents choose to home school or enroll their children in elementary and secondary nonpublic
schools, including private, church, parochial, or religious schools, that are not subject
to state regulation and do not receive state or federal funds. (3) That other than reporting
on the enrollment of students, these nonpublic K-12 schools have been primarily exempt from
state regulation and have only been required by state law to report the enrollment of students.
(4) That there is no national or state constitutional mandate that the government provide,
license, or regulate nonpublic education, including private, church,...

27-10-50
Section 27-10-50 Purpose. The purpose of this article is to subject certain insurers to the
jurisdiction of courts of this state in actions by, or on behalf of, insureds or beneficiaries
under insurance contracts. The Legislature declares that it is a subject of concern that many
residents of this state hold policies of insurance issued or delivered in this state by insurers
while not authorized to do business in this state, thus presenting to such residents the often
insuperable obstacle of resorting to distant forums for the purpose of asserting legal rights
under such policies. In furtherance of such state interest, the Legislature provides in this
article a method of substituted service of process upon such insurers and declares that in
so doing it exercises its power to protect its residents and to define, for the purpose of
this article, what constitutes doing business in this state and also exercises powers and
privileges available to the state by virtue of the federal Insurance...

45-45-82.51
Section 45-45-82.51 Legislative findings. The Legislature hereby finds and declares the following:
(1) The Madison County Judicial System faces a severe crisis. The Twenty-third Judicial Circuit
has the highest caseload in Alabama. The number of criminal cases has doubled during the last
five years, resulting in a backlog of almost 4,500 cases, including approximately 18 capital
murder cases. Some defendants have been awaiting trial for almost five years. The caseload
facing prosecutors is staggering. Individual drug crime prosecutors are assigned in excess
of 500 cases and it is not uncommon for each prosecutor to prepare to try 60 cases on a single
week's docket. The sheer number of criminal defendants is so large that judges cannot bring
them all into the courtroom without violating an order of the Madison County Fire Marshal.
(2) While faced with these virtually insurmountable problems, the state budget for fiscal
year 2004 has required the system to bear cuts so draconian that the...
