Section 6-5-160 Legislative findings. The Legislature of Alabama finds and declares: (1) That
in order to protect children from exposure to obscenity, prevent assaults on the sensibilities
of unwilling adults by the purveyor of obscene material, and suppress the proliferation of
"adult-only video stores," "adult bookstores," "adult movie houses,"
and "adult-only entertainment," the sale and dissemination of obscene material should
be regulated without impinging on the First Amendment rights of free speech by erecting barriers
to the open display of erotic and lascivious material. (2) That the premises in which a violation
of Division 5, Article 4, Chapter 12, Title 13A occurs should be declared a public nuisance.
(Act 98-467, p. 893, ยง1.)...

Section 41-7A-41 Legislative findings. The following is hereby found and declared by the Legislature
of Alabama: (1) Although Alabama is filled with attractive natural resources, a growing workforce,
and other resources attractive to the entertainment industry, Alabama has not developed its
potential in terms of attracting the entertainment industry to the state by offering production
incentives for qualified productions not previously offered in Alabama. (2) Entertainment
industry incentives offered by other states attract valuable projects to their states which
stimulate local economies, use local manpower, offer other employment and entrepreneurial
opportunities for state residents, and provide public awareness of the natural resources available
in their states. (3) Because Alabama does not currently offer a viable incentive package to
the industry, Alabama cannot effectively compete with other states for attracting industry
projects and those projects locate elsewhere. (4) For...

Section 9-8-21 Legislative findings; declaration of policy. (a) It is hereby declared as a
matter of legislative determination: (1) That the farm, forest and grazing lands of the State
of Alabama are among the basic assets of the state and that the preservation of these lands
is necessary to protect and promote the health, safety and general welfare of its people;
(2) That improper land-use practices have caused and have contributed to, and are now causing
and contributing to, a progressively more serious erosion of the farm, forest and grazing
lands of this state by wind and water; (3) That the consequences of such soil erosion are
the silting and sedimentation of stream channels, reservoirs, dams, ditches and harbors, the
loss of fertile soil material, the reduction in productivity or outright ruin of rich bottom
lands by overwash of poor subsoil material, sand and gravel and the deterioration of soil
and its fertility; and (4) That to conserve soil resources and control and prevent...

45-35-20
Section 45-35-20 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds all of the following: (1) The
authority of the Legislature to enact local laws regulating the liquor traffic is preserved
in Section 104 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, now appearing as Section 104 of the
Official Recompilation of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended. (2) Relying on
prior judicial opinions of the federal courts, it has been clearly established that reducing
the secondary effects associated with adult entertainment businesses serves and furthers a
substantial governmental interest, particularly when the serving of alcohol is involved. (3)
Any form of nudity and sexual conduct in establishments that serve alcohol or deal in alcoholic
beverages encourages the conduct of prostitution, attempted rape, rape, murder, and assaults
on police officers in and around an establishment dealing in or permitting the consumption
of alcoholic beverages, and that actual and simulated nudity and sexual conduct...

Section 26-23B-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature makes all of the following findings:
(1) Pain receptors (nociceptors) are present throughout the unborn child's entire body by
no later than 16 weeks after fertilization and nerves link these receptors to the brain's
thalamus and subcortical plate by no later than 20 weeks. (2) By eight weeks after fertilization,
the unborn child reacts to touch. After 20 weeks, the unborn child reacts to stimuli that
would be recognized as painful if applied to an adult human, for example by recoiling. (3)
For the purposes of surgery on unborn children, fetal anesthesia is routinely administered
and is associated with a decrease in stress hormones compared to their level when painful
stimuli is applied without such anesthesia. (4) In the unborn child, application of such painful
stimuli is associated with significant increases in stress hormones known as the stress response.
(5) Subjection to such painful stimuli is associated with long-term...
