Section 22-35-1 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature of the State of Alabama finds
and declares that certain lands of Alabama constitute unique and delicately balanced resources;
that the protection of these resources is vital to the economy of this state; and that the
preservation of waters is a matter of the highest urgency and priority as these waters provide
a primary source of potable water in this state; that such use can only be served effectively
by maintaining the quality of waters in as close to a comparable previous condition as possible,
taking into account multiple use accommodations necessary to provide the broadest possible
promotion of public and private interests. The Legislature further finds that where contamination
of soils or waters has occurred, remedial measures have often been delayed for long periods
while determinations as to liability and the extent of liability are made; that such delays
result in the continuation and intensification of the...

Section 9-1-6 Declaration of public policy and legislative intent; measure of damages for the
unauthorized removal of coal; retroactive application of section. (a) The objective of this
section is to specify the measure of damages for the unauthorized removal of coal in Alabama.
It is declared that the extraction of coal provides a major present and future source of energy
and is an essential and necessary activity which contributes to the economic and material
well-being of the state. In the absence of a reasonable measure of damages as specified in
this section, confusion could result in the coal industry causing financial distress and unemployment,
and may cause the abandonment and prevent the use of many coal mines. This state has a public
interest in removing this hazard and precluding this confusion and distress without doing
violence to private rights. (b) The measure of damages in any civil action for the unauthorized
extraction, severance, injury or removal of coal from land,...

22-4B-2
Section 22-4B-2 Legislative intent. The Legislature of Alabama finds that there exists a critical
shortage of registered nurses who are willing and able to provide health care to citizens
in rural areas of Alabama. Such shortage is particularly acute in rural areas, and has a negative
impact on the availability of care to low income and indigent citizens of Alabama who reside
in rural areas. The Legislature further finds that there are many dedicated employees of the
Alabama Department of Public Health who are disqualified from training as registered nurses
solely by reason of their inability to finance the cost of attending school to obtain the
requisite degree. Such employees are also prevented or retarded in career advancement because
of a lack of education. It is the intent of the Legislature in adopting this chapter to address
the nursing shortage in county health departments and in federally-funded community health
centers in rural areas and to provide opportunities for career...

Section 25-10-2 Declaration of public policy and legislative intent. The legislative intent
of this chapter is declared to be as follows: The most important element of the American economic
system of private enterprise is free and vigorous competition. Only through the existence
of free and vigorous competition can free entry into business and opportunities for personal
initiative and individual achievement be assured. The preservation and expansion of such competition
is essential for our economic well-being. In order to insure such competition, small business
concerns must be encouraged and developed, and it is the declared policy of the state to aid,
counsel, and assist, in every practical manner, the interests of small business concerns in
order to preserve free competitive enterprise and to insure that a fair proportion of the
total purchases and contracts or subcontracts for property, commodities, and services for
the state be placed with small businesses. (Acts 1975, No. 1229,...

Section 34-24-500 Legislative findings and purpose. The Legislature hereby finds and declares
that, because of technological advances and changing practice patterns, the practice of medicine
or osteopathy is occurring with increasing frequency across state lines and that certain technological
advances in the practice of medicine or osteopathy are in the public interest. The Legislature
further finds and declares that the practice of medicine or osteopathy is a privilege and
that the licensure by this state of practitioners located outside this state engaging in such
medical or osteopathic practice within this state and the ability to discipline such practitioners
is necessary for the protection of the citizens of this state and for the public interest,
health, welfare, and safety. (Acts 1997, No. 97-166, p. 238, §1.)...
