Section 28-4A-6 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that it is in the best interest
of the public welfare of the State of Alabama to preserve and redevelop the downtown municipal
areas and registered historic districts and certain economically distressed areas of this
state and to further promote the preservation and redevelopment of historic buildings and
sites. The Legislature finds that an effective way of facilitating the urban redevelopment
program and the preservation of historic buildings and sites, and registered historic districts
and any economically distressed area designated as suitable by the municipal or county governing
body is by creating a single exception to the existing alcoholic beverage laws to authorize
and permit the establishment of brewpubs located in such historic buildings, sites, or districts
in urban redevelopment areas or economically distressed areas of those municipalities located
within counties where the brewing of beer for consumption by the...

37-14-1
Section 37-14-1 Legislative declarations, findings, etc. The Legislature of the State of Alabama
has investigated the economic, financial and environmental impact associated with the potential
for duplication of electric distribution facilities used for the furnishing of retail electric
service. Among its findings are the conclusion that with respect to retail electric sales,
the benefit normally associated with competition between two or more entities for customers
is outweighed by the tremendous cost burden which must be borne by such customers associated
with the maintenance of two or more duplicate sets of facilities. It is the further finding
of the legislature that the existence of duplicate facilities for the furnishing of electricity
at retail is not in the public interest because of the adverse impact which such duplication
has on environmental and aesthetic values and on safety. It is therefore declared that the
policy of the State of Alabama is to ensure effective,...

and collected from those remote sellers located outside of this state which deliver inside

the following: (1) The State of Alabama has a great need from time to time to have access
to financing for economic development and industrial recruitment that does not involve improvements

a state-level authority with the power to issue bonds for such general purposes. (3) The Alabama

out of a new revenue source will such debt not be considered a debt of the state in contravention
of Section 213 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901; the State of Alabama expects to receive
in the near future new revenues from the settlement of certain litigation between the state
and the tobacco industry. (4) By the passage of this division, it is the intention of the
Legislature to: a. Provide for the creation of a special...

Section 45-49-42 Legislative findings. The Legislature of the State of Alabama declares and
finds that the business of operating massage parlors as defined herein are businesses affecting
the public health, safety, and general welfare; that such businesses have been used in Mobile
County and elsewhere as fronts for the conduct of prostitution, assignation, and lewdness;
that the method of operation of such business generally is such that female persons bargain
with male customers for illicit sexual activities, including prostitution and sodomy, only
after performing so-called massages while the male customer is nude, and after engaging the
customer as part of the so-called massage in sexual foreplay to the point of sexual arousal;
that because of the method of operation the gathering of evidence by law enforcement officers
sufficient for the officers to make an arrest or to institute some other civil proceeding
requires male officers to pose as customers, and to perform degrading,...

6-12-1
Section 6-12-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature of Alabama finds as follows: (1) Cigarette
smoking presents serious public health concerns to the state and to the citizens of the state.
The Surgeon General has determined that smoking causes lung cancer, heart disease, and other
serious diseases, and that there are hundreds of thousands of tobacco-related deaths in the
United States each year. These diseases most often do not appear until many years after the
person in question begins smoking. (2) Cigarette smoking also presents serious financial concerns
for the state. Under certain health care programs, the state may have a legal obligation to
provide medical assistance to eligible persons for health conditions associated with cigarette
smoking, and those persons may have a legal entitlement to receive such medical assistance.
(3) Under these programs, the state pays millions of dollars each year to provide medical
assistance for these persons for health conditions associated...
