contracts with qualified vendors. The department and any...

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.)...

Section 11-92A-2 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent; construction
of article. (a) 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 the state
that have had a far-reaching effect on the welfare of its citizens. The agrarian economy that
once prevailed in the state and provided the principal means of livelihood for most of its
citizens 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 dependency upon industrial development as the bulwark
of the economy of the state. It is therefore appropriate and necessary that measures be taken
to secure to the citizens of the state the benefits of a strengthening...
