Section 41-10-21 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent; construction of article.
The Legislature hereby makes the following findings of fact and declares its intent to be
as follows: In recent years changes have taken place in the economy of this state which have
had a far-reaching effect on the welfare of its citizens. The agrarian economy which once
prevailed in this state and provided the principal means of livelihood for most of the citizens
of the state has proven inadequate to provide employment for the state's growing population.
The advent of mechanized and scientific farming methods has reduced greatly the number of
persons required to obtain increased yields of agricultural products from land under cultivation.
There has been a correspondingly greater dependence upon industrial development as the bulwark
of the economy of this state. It is appropriate and necessary that measures be taken to secure
to the citizens of this state the benefits of a strengthened...

Section 22-6-120 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds the following: (1) The availability
of appropriate pharmaceutical benefits to every Alabama citizen is a critical component to
the overall health of its population. (2) Alabama should strive to provide appropriate, safe,
effective, and cost-efficient pharmaceutical care to those who depend on health benefits through
state funded programs. (3) The Alabama Medicaid Agency should endeavor to manage the Medicaid
Pharmacy Program utilizing clinical management tools in a manner to foster optimal health
outcomes at reasonable costs. (4) State Medicaid programs and private insurance plans across
the country utilize preferred drug lists as an effective way to foster and encourage clinically
appropriate and safe use of pharmaceuticals in a cost-effective manner. (5) Based on the proven
effectiveness of preferred drug programs to foster appropriate use of drugs, it is in the
best interests of Alabama and its citizens for the Alabama...

Section 25-14-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds and declares the following: (1)
That employee leasing is a growing industry in the State of Alabama and that professional

methods of satisfying their personnel requirements and providing employees with access to
certain employment benefits which might otherwise not be available to them. (2) The Legislature
deems it necessary, however, in the interest of the welfare of workers and employers to establish

and it is the intent of the Legislature that this be accomplished pursuant to the Alabama
Professional Employer Organization Registration Act. (3) That any allocation of the employer

41-10-720
Section 41-10-720 Legislative findings. The Legislature makes the following findings: (1) At
any given time, the level of activity in our construction industry is a primary yardstick
for measuring the overall economic health of this country and this state, and that the success
and stability of the building, manufacturing, and commercial businesses are dependent upon
a sufficient supply of skilled artisans and craft persons who can produce quality products
that inspire public confidence. The State of Alabama and the nation has a great need for a
program that provides for the recruitment of, and training programs and opportunities for,
new construction craft trade workers. It is desirable and in the public interest to establish
a public authority at the state level to create and implement such a program. (2) The passage
of a federal economic stimulus package provides substantial funding for significant new highway,
road, bridge, and public infrastructure projects, and the Legislature...

45-49-21.20
Section 45-49-21.20 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature is cognizant of Opinion of the
Justices No. 376, issued April 9, 2002, which states that a local bill for Washington County
"purporting to allow by local law the creation of a traffic in alcohol that does not
presently exist in smaller municipalities in Washington County, does not fit within the ambit
of the last paragraph of Section 104 permitting the Legislature to pass local laws regulating
or prohibiting such traffic." The effect of this Opinion of the Justices is to greatly
limit situations in which local laws may be enacted regarding alcoholic beverages. This opinion,
in part, was based upon a determination that, "Generally, 'regulate' implies the exercise
of control over something that already exists." While respecting the constitutional authority
granted to the Alabama Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, this
body disagrees with the conclusion reached by the court concerning Section 104....

Section 16-16-2 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent; liberal construction
of chapter. The Legislature hereby makes the findings of fact and declaration of intent hereinafter
set forth in this section. The great increase during recent years in the number of students
enrolled in the public schools and in other educational institutions in the state that are
supported wholly or in part by the state, the anticipated further increase in the enrollment
of students in such schools and educational institutions resulting from the greatly increased
birth rate and other factors, the increased enrollment in other public institutions in the
state and the need to supply additional educational facilities at those other public institutions
for the purpose of maintaining and further developing educational programs for the inmates
of those institutions have made it imperative that buildings and other facilities for educational
purposes be constructed and equipped in all parts of the...
