22-35-1
Section 22-35-1 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature of the State of Alabama finds
and declares that certain lands of Alabama constitute unique and delicately balanced resources;
that the protection of these resources is vital to the economy of this state; and that the
preservation of waters is a matter of the highest urgency and priority as these waters provide
a primary source of potable water in this state; that such use can only be served effectively
by maintaining the quality of waters in as close to a comparable previous condition as possible,
taking into account multiple use accommodations necessary to provide the broadest possible
promotion of public and private interests. The Legislature further finds that where contamination
of soils or waters has occurred, remedial measures have often been delayed for long periods
while determinations as to liability and the extent of liability are made; that such delays
result in the continuation and intensification of the...

Section 41-6A-2 Legislative intent. The Legislature finds that the development, management
and efficient use of energy resources and the conservation of energy is of prime importance
in an era of rising costs, foreign dependence and uncertain supplies. At the same time it
is also important to protect the economic, social and environmental values of the citizens
of the state. Such responsibilities require a comprehensive, coordinated capacity on the part
of the state to respond to the needs and demands of her citizens. It is therefore the intent
of the Legislature: (1) To ensure the wise development and efficient use of traditional energy
sources; (2) To encourage and assist the development, the use of renewable energy resources,
demonstration, and placement in the marketplace of viable, alternative energy sources, more
efficient uses of energy sources and other appropriate technology; (3) To encourage the conservation
and efficient use of all energy resources and to provide a...

Section 6-5-500 Intent of Legislature; legislative findings. It is the intent of the Legislature
that a comprehensive system consisting of the time for commencement of actions, for discoverability
of actions based upon insidious disease and the repose of actions shall be instituted in this
state. The Legislature finds that in order to assure the rights of all persons, and to provide
for the fair, orderly, and efficient administration of product liability actions in the courts
of this state, a complete and unified approach to the time in which product liability actions
may be brought and maintained is required. The Legislature finds that product liability actions
and litigation have increased substantially, and the cost of such litigation has risen in
recent years. The Legislature further finds that these increases are having an impact upon
consumer prices, and upon the availability, cost, and use of product liability insurance,
thus, affecting the availability of compensation for...
