Section 22-30-2 Legislative findings; purpose and intent of chapter. The Legislature finds
that the generation and management of hazardous waste is a continuing problem. Further, that
without adequate safeguards, the generation, transportation, treatment, storage and disposal
of such wastes can create conditions which threaten human health or the environment. The Legislature,
therefore, declares that in order to minimize and control any such hazardous conditions, it
is in the public interest to establish and to maintain a statewide program, administered by
the Alabama Department of Environmental Management, to provide for the safe management of
hazardous wastes. It is the intent of the Legislature that the Alabama Department of Environmental
Management seek and retain authorization to operate the State Hazardous Waste Management Program.
It is also the intent of the Legislature that the rules, regulations, guidelines and criteria
promulgated under authority of this chapter encourage...

Section 22-4-31 Legislative findings. The Legislature does hereby set out the following findings
and reasons for passage of this article. Alabama has adopted a system of health planning and
development administered by the State Health Planning and Development Agency (SHPDA). In addition,
the Statewide Health Coordinating Council (SHCC) is charged with reviewing Alabama's health
planning needs and writing the State Health Plan to assist the Certificate of Need Review
Board. The Certificate of Need Review Board is responsible for reviewing and approving certificate
of need applications in Alabama. There is no current systematic way for the SHPDA, SHCC, or
the Certificate of Need Review Board to collect all the health care services information necessary
for proper health care planning in Alabama, because reporting to SHPDA is voluntary. The Legislature
hereby finds and determines that collection of additional health care information is necessary
for informed statewide health planning. The...

Section 45-24A-32.01 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds and declares the following:
(1) Accident data establishes that vehicles running red lights have been and are a dangerous
problem in Selma, Alabama. (2) Studies have found that automated traffic camera enforcement
in a municipal area is a highly accurate method for detecting red light violations and is
very effective in reducing the number of red light violations and decreasing the number of
traffic accidents, deaths, and injuries. (3) Current Alabama law provides that failing to
stop and remain stopped at a traffic-control signal which is emitting a steady red signal
is a criminal misdemeanor. Under Alabama law one who commits such a misdemeanor is subject
to prosecution only if the misdemeanor was witnessed by either a duly empowered police officer
or other witness who makes a verified complaint to a sworn magistrate. (4) Many jurisdictions
have adopted laws that allow use of automated photographic traffic enforcement,...

to this article to conduct surface mining operations shall require that such surface coal
mining operations will meet all applicable performance standards of this article, and such

16-1-11.1
Section 16-1-11.1 Autonomy of nonpublic schools - Legislative findings. The Legislature finds
and declares all of the following: (1) That a parent or guardian in Alabama has a constitutional
right to choose the type of K-12 education that is best for his or her child, whether public
or nonpublic, religious or nonreligious, and including home-based education. (2) That many
parents choose to home school or enroll their children in elementary and secondary nonpublic
schools, including private, church, parochial, or religious schools, that are not subject
to state regulation and do not receive state or federal funds. (3) That other than reporting
on the enrollment of students, these nonpublic K-12 schools have been primarily exempt from
state regulation and have only been required by state law to report the enrollment of students.
(4) That there is no national or state constitutional mandate that the government provide,
license, or regulate nonpublic education, including private, church,...

16-16A-7
Section 16-16A-7 Additional findings; bonds authorized; procedures. (a) The Legislature finds
that the number of students attending the several school systems located in those areas of
North Alabama that will be directly impacted by the 2005 BRAC and Subsequent BRAC Actions
will collectively increase by an estimated 9,000 students. As a result, there will be a need
for the construction of additional school facilities as well as the renovation of existing
school facilities. The Legislature also finds that the 2005 BRAC and Subsequent BRAC Actions
will have a positive impact on future receipts to the Education Trust Fund, as the significant
population growth in North Alabama will increase sales, income, and other tax collections.
Thus, it is an efficient use of state funds to allow such revenue growth to help pay for capital
improvement costs associated with BRAC-related school construction. (b) The Alabama Public
School and College Authority is hereby authorized to sell and issue its...
