Section 36-36-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature of Alabama hereby finds and determines
that the funding of accrued and accruing health care benefits to retired employees and their
dependents is a proper governmental function and purpose of the state. The Governmental Accounting
Standards Board has issued Statements 43 and 45, which set forth standards on accounting and
reporting for post-employment benefits other than pensions by governments. The new standards
will require the state to account for such post-employment benefits on an actuarial basis
during an employee's career rather than on a pay-as-you-go basis during the employee's period
of retirement. The Legislature has determined that it would be advisable for the state to
create irrevocable trusts whereby the state may begin funding those benefits in advance to
address and ultimately offset the state's accrued liabilities for such benefits. Therefore,
the state, the State Employees' Insurance Board, and the Public...

Section 6-12-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature of Alabama finds as follows: (1) Cigarette
smoking presents serious public health concerns to the state and to the citizens of the state.
The Surgeon General has determined that smoking causes lung cancer, heart disease, and other
serious diseases, and that there are hundreds of thousands of tobacco-related deaths in the
United States each year. These diseases most often do not appear until many years after the
person in question begins smoking. (2) Cigarette smoking also presents serious financial concerns
for the state. Under certain health care programs, the state may have a legal obligation to
provide medical assistance to eligible persons for health conditions associated with cigarette
smoking, and those persons may have a legal entitlement to receive such medical assistance.
(3) Under these programs, the state pays millions of dollars each year to provide medical
assistance for these persons for health conditions associated...

Section 22-4-31 Legislative findings. The Legislature does hereby set out the following findings
and reasons for passage of this article. Alabama has adopted a system of health planning and
development administered by the State Health Planning and Development Agency (SHPDA). In addition,
the Statewide Health Coordinating Council (SHCC) is charged with reviewing Alabama's health
planning needs and writing the State Health Plan to assist the Certificate of Need Review
Board. The Certificate of Need Review Board is responsible for reviewing and approving certificate
of need applications in Alabama. There is no current systematic way for the SHPDA, SHCC, or
the Certificate of Need Review Board to collect all the health care services information necessary
for proper health care planning in Alabama, because reporting to SHPDA is voluntary. The Legislature
hereby finds and determines that collection of additional health care information is necessary
for informed statewide health planning. The...
