Section 12-23-2 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature finds that the high incidence
of crimes which directly involve alcohol and drugs in this state is intolerable; that the
problems of alcohol and drug abuse among the citizens of Alabama are extensive and exist at
an unacceptable level; that alcohol and/or drug abuse or dependency have been identified as
contributing factors in the commission of many crimes; that a concentrated and coordinated
state and local effort is needed to address the needs of Alabamians regarding such problems;
that a specialized system for screening, evaluating, educating, and rehabilitating defendants
convicted of alcohol and drug related offenses is required to address such problems; and that
adequate funding should be provided for this purpose. It is therefore the intent of the Legislature:
To establish a specialized court referral officer program to promote the evaluation, education
and rehabilitation of persons whose use or dependency on...

Section 16-16-14.2 Legislative intent. Act 2010-731 is adopted by the Legislature of the State
of Alabama to amend certain provisions of the Code of Alabama 1975 and certain prior acts
of the Legislature of Alabama and to make other provisions in a manner intended to permit

16-6D-3
Section 16-6D-3 Legislative findings and intent. (a) The Legislature finds and declares all
of the following: (1) To further the goals of public education throughout the state, each
school system should be able to have maximum possible flexibility to meet the needs of students
and the communities within its jurisdiction. (2) There is a critical need for innovative models
of public education that are tailored to the unique circumstances and needs of the students
in all schools and communities, and especially in schools and communities that are struggling
to improve academic outcomes and close the achievement gap. (3) To better serve students and
better use available resources, local boards of education, local school systems, and parents
need the ability to explore flexible alternatives in an effort to be more efficient and effective

22-30E-2
Section 22-30E-2 Legislative findings; purpose and intent of chapter; establishment of voluntary
assessment and/or cleanup program for properties with potential environmental contamination.
(a) The Legislature finds that rural and urban property in Alabama may have areas of actual
or perceived contamination at levels that may not be subject to assessment or cleanup under
applicable laws and regulations. The Legislature finds that this perception of contamination
discourages the purchase and productive use of otherwise usable properties. The Legislature
further finds that the voluntary assessment and/or cleanup of such properties is in the public
interest. (b) The Legislature finds that industries and developers often give preference to
previously unused greenfield sites over previously used property due largely to concerns over
the financial and environmental liabilities which may be incurred in acquiring such previously
used property for reuse and redevelopment. The Legislature...

Section 23-1-291 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that certain portions of the state
highway system provide access to state locales that are notable for their scenic, natural,
historic, recreational, cultural, and archaeological value and are therefore worthy of designations
as scenic byways in order to provide special consideration of their unique features and special
role in the highway system. The Legislature further finds that the public interest would be
served by the formation of a coordinated scenic byways program to enhance recreational, cultural,
and archaeological resources, encourage economic development through tourism, improve the
transportation system, and educate residents and visitors on the history, culture, and natural
beauty of this state. In order to implement this program, the Legislature has determined that
a two-tiered structure would best serve the governance of the Alabama Scenic Byways program.
The Legislature recognizes that the application of this...

Section 45-8-22.01 Legislative intent; disposition of funds. (a) The Legislature of Alabama

Section 6-5-570 Statement of legislative intent. It is hereby declared by the Legislature of
the State of Alabama that a crisis threatens the delivery of legal service to the people of
Alabama and that the quality of legal services which should be made available to the citizens
of this state is in jeopardy. It is the declared intent of this Legislature to insure that
quality legal services continue to be available at reasonable costs to the citizens of the
State of Alabama. This Legislature finds and declares that the increasing threat of legal
actions against legal service providers contributes to an increase in the cost of legal services
and places a heavy burden upon those who can least afford such cost and that the threat of
such legal actions contributes to the expense of providing legal services to be performed
by legal service providers which otherwise would not be considered necessary, and that the
spiraling costs and decreasing availability of essential legal services caused...

Section 22-19-120 Legislative intent. (a) The acquisition and transportation and transplantation
of donor organs, bones and tissues is becoming more common place as new scientific and technological
developments find better ways to conquer the human body's rejection of such transplanted organs,
bones and tissues. In its concern that donee recipients be provided the best possible quality
assurance that such donated organs, bones and tissues, retrieved in Alabama are free from
any contagious or communicable disease or defect, the Legislature intends to establish in
this article a framework for the development of appropriate standards of care and quality
assurance for the acquisition and/or transportation of organs, bones and tissues retrieved
in Alabama. (b) It is also the intent of this article to recognize and utilize the quality
assurance already developed in Alabama by the Department of Surgery of the School of Medicine,
at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Medical Center by...
