Ala. Code § 41-19A-2: Legislative Findings.

The Legislature recognizes that Alabama citizens demand and deserve accountability for the expenditure of taxpayer funds. The Legislature further recognizes that any member of the Alabama Legislature, as well as any other citizen, can lobby for or offer support for a program administered by an entity that receives public funds. The Legislature further recognizes that while at least two executive orders have banned pass-through appropriations, not all entities are effectively included under these executive orders.
