Editor's Note
2000 Act No. 404, Section 1, provides as follows:
"(A)(1) This act must be construed liberally. The enumeration of any object, purposes, power, manner, method, or thing does not exclude like or similar objects, purposes, powers, manners, methods, or things.
"(2) The provisions of this chapter may not be repealed by implication. If they conflict with other provisions of the 1976 Code, the provisions of this chapter prevail.
"3) The powers and authorities conferred by this chapter may be added to and supplemented by any other general law.
"(B) The General Assembly finds that corporations not-for-profit established pursuant to this chapter have been authorized to provide the local governmental functions of water service or sewage treatment or a combination of both, fire protection service, ambulance service, and medical clinic facilities. Corporations not-for-profit exist for a public purpose, and the General Assembly declares that corporations not-for-profit must be treated like special purpose districts for purposes of Chapter 78 of Title 15, Chapter 56 of Title 12, and Sections 56-3-780 and 58-31-30(23) of the 1976 Code. Corporations not-for-profit may participate, under the same conditions as afforded special purpose districts, in the State Retirement System, the State Health Insurance System, state purchasing programs, and Sections 1-11-140 and 1-11-141 of the 1976 Code."
2000 Act No. 404, Section 7, provides as follows:
