Section 15-20A-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature makes all of the following findings:
(1) Registration and notification laws are a vital concern as the number of sex offenders
continues to rise. The increasing numbers coupled with the danger of recidivism place society
at risk. Registration and notification laws strive to reduce these dangers by increasing public
safety and mandating the release of certain information to the public. This release of information
creates better awareness and informs the public of the presence of sex offenders in the community,
thereby enabling the public to take action to protect themselves. Registration and notification
laws aid in public awareness and not only protect the community but serve to deter sex offenders
from future crimes through frequent in-person registration. Frequent in-person registration
maintains constant contact between sex offenders and law enforcement, providing law enforcement
with priceless tools to aid them in their...

for gifted and talented children. (a) The Legislature finds and declares the following: (1)

Section 11-40-16 Creation of enterprise zones within Class 1 cities; purpose. (a) The Legislature
of Alabama hereby finds and declares that the health, safety, and welfare of the people of
Class 1 cities are enhanced by the continual encouragement, development, growth, and expansion
of private enterprise within this state. That there are certain economically depressed areas
in such cities that need particular attention to create new jobs, stimulate economic activity,
and attract private sector investment rather than government subsidy to improve the quality
of life of their citizens. It is the purpose of this section to encourage new economic activity
in these depressed areas of such Class 1 cities by means of reduced taxes and the removal
of unnecessary governmental barriers to the production and earning of wages and profits and
the creation of economic growth. (b) In order to further the purposes of this section, Class

Section 25-5-14 Legislative findings and intent as to actions filed by injured employee against
officers, etc., of same employer. The Legislature finds that actions filed on behalf of injured
employees against officers, directors, agents, servants, or employees of the same employer
seeking to recover damages in excess of amounts received or receivable from the employer under
the workers' compensation statutes of this state and predicated upon claimed negligent or
wanton conduct resulting in injuries arising out of and in the course of employment are contrary
to the intent of the Legislature in adopting a comprehensive workers' compensation scheme
and are producing a debilitating and adverse effect upon efforts to retain existing, and to
attract new industry to this state. Specifically, the existence of such causes of action places
this state at a serious disadvantage in comparison to the existing laws of other states with
whom this state competes in seeking to attract and retain...
