Section 16-25A-40 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that private employers have provided
their employees with flexible employee benefit plans which provide a savings both to the employer
and the employee, and that the State of Alabama, its departments and agencies, may provide
the same tax-effective benefits to its public education employees. It is, therefore, the intent
of the Legislature to provide for the establishment of one statewide, universal "cafeteria
plan" or flexible employee benefit plan to be made available to all employees in public
education in compliance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and to implement the plan
in accordance with the rules and regulations established by the Public Education Flexible
Employees' Benefit Board created by this article. (Act 2004-650, 1st Sp. Sess., p. 31, ยง1.)...

the purpose of determining whether an individual who will have unsupervised access to children
is suitable for employment or has been convicted of a crime that bears upon the fitness of
the individual to teach or have responsibility for the safety and well-being of children as
defined in this chapter. The Legislature finds that there is a compelling state interest and
it is in the best interest of the children of Alabama to protect them from those persons who
may inflict physical or mental injury or abuse, sexual abuse or exploitation, or maltreatment
or other mistreatment upon children. Therefore, in establishing the Alabama Child Protection
Act of 1999, it is the intent of the Legislature to provide for the implementation of a system
that allows the State Superintendent of Education, local boards of education, and other nonpublic
schools to ensure that prospective employees and current employees are suitable for employment

Section 38-15-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that there is a substantial need
to protect children and youth from abuse and neglect by persons entrusted with their physical
custody, and from persons or organizations that advertise, hold themselves out, or lead others
to believe that they will provide them with health, therapeutic, rehabilitative, or disciplinary
services, and from persons employed or exercising authority over them, and who they depend
upon to provide the basic necessities of life. The Legislature further finds that abuse and
neglect often take the form of the withholding of the basic necessities of life, including
food, water, shelter, clothing, and health care through an affirmative act or omission. It
is the intent of the Legislature to implement a baseline of registration and regulation requirements
for religious, faith-based, or church nonprofit, other nonprofit, and for profit affiliated
