Section 45-49-42 Legislative findings. The Legislature of the State of Alabama declares and
finds that the business of operating massage parlors as defined herein are businesses affecting
the public health, safety, and general welfare; that such businesses have been used in Mobile

Section 9-13-109 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that the intent
of Act 2017-301 is to simplify and clarify existing language used to calculate and collect
