Section 25-8-32 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature has found that Alabama law
has not kept pace with federal standards regulating the employment of minors to the extent
that it has become increasingly difficult for employers to comply with conflicting state and
federal child labor requirements. Accordingly, numerous changes are necessary to make the
child labor laws of Alabama compatible with the United States Department of Labor regulations
governing the employment of minors in nonagricultural occupations. Similarly, there is also
a need to remove anachronistic language and make clarifications to existing standards. In
view of the foregoing findings, the Legislature through this chapter intends to do all of
the following: (1) Conform with 17 federal hazardous orders. (2) Remove exemptions for domestic
service and the grading or handling, or both, of agricultural products. (3) Add a restriction
for occupations which involve working at heights exceeding six feet, as well...

enacting this parental consent provision to further the important and compelling state interests

capacity to become pregnant and the capacity for mature judgment concerning the wisdom of
an abortion are not necessarily related, (4) parents ordinarily possess information essential
to a physician's exercise of his or her best medical judgment...

Section 16-6B-11 Paperwork Reduction Committee. (a) The Legislature finds that the excessive
paperwork required of teachers and other public education employees hinders the prime responsibility
of public education: The education of the children of Alabama. The Legislature also finds
that excessive and time-consuming reporting requirements levied on school systems requires

excessive paperwork required of teachers has become so burdensome that teachers do not have
adequate time to prepare lesson plans or to devote individual attention to those students
who require special assistance. The Legislature further finds that, for teachers to have time
to teach, it is imperative that all unnecessary paperwork be eliminated from our public schools
and necessary paperwork be automated to the maximum practical extent. (b) The Paperwork Reduction
Committee is created. The membership of the committee shall...

Section 32-6-49.40 (Effective February 7, 2020) Intrastate Class A commercial driver license
for applicants 18 to 21 years of age. (a) The Legislature finds that current economic conditions
are such that the number of individuals willing and qualified to operate commercial vehicles
is insufficient in relation to the volume of freight available, and that it will be advantageous,
consistent with Commercial Driver License safety rules, for this state to issue Class A commercial
