Section 26-23C-2 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature of the State of Alabama finds all
of the following: (1) Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, P.L. 111-148,
federal tax dollars, via affordability credits, subsidies provided to individuals between
150-400 percent of the federal poverty level, are routed to exchange participating health
insurance plans, including plans that provide coverage for abortions. (2) Federal funding
of insurance plans that provide abortions is an unprecedented change in federal abortion funding
policy. The Hyde Amendment, as passed each year in the Labor Health and Human Services Appropriations
bill, and the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program, FEHBP, prohibit federal funds from
subsidizing health insurance plans that provide abortions. Under this new law, however, exchange
participating health insurance plans that provide abortions can receive federal funds. (3)
The provision of federal funding for health insurance plans that...

Section 22-21-261 Legislative findings; purpose of article. The Legislature of the State of
Alabama declares that it is the public policy of the State of Alabama that a certificate of
need program be administered in the state to assure that only those health care services and
facilities found to be in the public interest shall be offered or developed in the state.
It is the purpose of the Legislature in enacting this article to prevent the construction
of unnecessary and inappropriate health care facilities through a system of mandatory reviews
of new institutional health services, as the same are defined in this article. (Acts 1977,
1st Ex. Sess., No. 82, p. 1509, §1; Acts 1982, 2nd Ex. Sess., No. 82-770, p. 249, §2.)...

Section 6-5-500 Intent of Legislature; legislative findings. It is the intent of the Legislature
that a comprehensive system consisting of the time for commencement of actions, for discoverability
of actions based upon insidious disease and the repose of actions shall be instituted in this
state. The Legislature finds that in order to assure the rights of all persons, and to provide
for the fair, orderly, and efficient administration of product liability actions in the courts
of this state, a complete and unified approach to the time in which product liability actions
may be brought and maintained is required. The Legislature finds that product liability actions
and litigation have increased substantially, and the cost of such litigation has risen in
recent years. The Legislature further finds that these increases are having an impact upon
consumer prices, and upon the availability, cost, and use of product liability insurance,
thus, affecting the availability of compensation for...

16-33A-2
Section 16-33A-2 Legislative findings; purpose of chapter. The Legislature declares that there
exists within the State of Alabama a number of accredited independent colleges and universities
whose facilities could be used more effectively in the public interest by the grant of financial
assistance to residents of the state who choose to attend such colleges and universities,
in order to pay a portion of such residents' institutional related expenses at such colleges
and universities, thereby reducing the cost to taxpayers of the state below the cost of providing
similar instruction to such residents at institutions of higher learning within the state
higher education system. The Legislature finds and declares that there is an apparent need
to narrow the gap in student charges between public universities and colleges and independent
institutions of higher education in Alabama in order to provide students with true economic
and academic freedom of choice in selecting a college; and to...

Section 22-11D-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that trauma is one of many severe
health problems in the State of Alabama and a major cause of death and long-term disability.
It is in the best interest of the citizens of Alabama to establish an efficient and well-coordinated
statewide trauma system and to provide for other systems of care as the needs are recognized
and funding becomes available to reduce costs and incidences of inappropriate or inadequate
emergency medical services. (Act 2007-299, p. 541, §1; Act 2012-526, p. 1556, §1.)...

Section 9-14C-1 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature finds that the land now known as
Red Mountain Greenway and Recreational Area, the principal iron ore mining location for the
Birmingham steel industry, contains a number of nationally significant historic mining sites,
is critical to connecting a 64-mile network of trails and greenways within Greater Birmingham,
and is suitable for the development of athletic complexes that could serve the entire region
and state. (b) It is further found that the preservation of the land known as Red Mountain
Greenway and Recreational Area would place Birmingham first in the nation in the total acreage
of green and open space per capita and would provide for alternative transportation routes

promote open space for physical activity in order to promote better health and combat obesity,
