Section 11-106-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds, determines, and declares that
it is desirable for local governments in the state to cooperate with military installations
located within the state in order to encourage compatible land use, help prevent incompatible
urban encroachment upon military installations, and facilitate the continued presence of major

Section 36-36-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature of Alabama hereby finds and determines
that the funding of accrued and accruing health care benefits to retired employees and their
dependents is a proper governmental function and purpose of the state. The Governmental Accounting
Standards Board has issued Statements 43 and 45, which set forth standards on accounting and
reporting for post-employment benefits other than pensions by governments. The new standards
will require the state to account for such post-employment benefits on an actuarial basis
during an employee's career rather than on a pay-as-you-go basis during the employee's period
of retirement. The Legislature has determined that it would be advisable for the state to
create irrevocable trusts whereby the state may begin funding those benefits in advance to
address and ultimately offset the state's accrued liabilities for such benefits. Therefore,
the state, the State Employees' Insurance Board, and the Public...

Section 11-92B-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature makes the following findings: (1) That
the economic development of property comprising a former military installation is of vital
importance to the life, health, and welfare of the citizens of local cities and counties affected
by the base closure and the state. (2) That it is desirable to allow for the establishment
of local reuse authorities capable of managing and promoting the reuse and economic development
of military installations after the closure of the military installations. (3) That an Alabama
court has ruled that a city and county lack legislative authority to join in any entity for
the purposes provided for in this chapter. The Legislature finds that the purpose of this
chapter is to provide such authority. (4) That in consideration of the critical need for valid
and fully authorized public entities, with community involvement and notice, to develop closed
military installations, and perform environmental restoration...

Section 41-18-1 Text. Article I. Findings and Purposes. (a) The party states find that the
South has a sense of community based on common social, cultural and economic needs and fostered
by a regional tradition. There are vast potentialities for mutual improvement of each state
in the region by cooperative planning for the development, conservation and efficient utilization
of human and natural resources in a geographic area large enough to afford a high degree of
flexibility in identifying and taking maximum advantage of opportunities for healthy and beneficial
growth. The independence of each state and the special needs of subregions are recognized
and are to be safeguarded. Accordingly, the cooperation resulting from this agreement is intended
to assist the states in meeting their own problems by enhancing their abilities to recognize
and analyze regional opportunities and take account of regional influences in planning and
implementing their public policies. (b) The purposes of...

Compact. The Emergency Medical Services Personnel Licensure Interstate Compact is hereby enacted

Section 37-11B-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds and determines that: (1) There
exists in the State of Alabama a continuing need to construct, improve, and invest in rail
and rail infrastructure within the state. A strong rail infrastructure promotes economic development
and employment opportunities and promotes the public good and general welfare of the state.
(2) The public purpose of this chapter is to develop a coordinated program related to the
rail infrastructure within the State of Alabama, including, but not limited to, the construction
of such additional rail lines or tracks as may be necessary or advisable, the maintenance
and improvement of the existing rail infrastructure, and the prudent use of state funds to
take advantage of any opportunities for federal funding assistance that may be available.

11-100-2
Section 11-100-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature hereby finds and determines that: (1)
The convention industry is a vital and beneficial industry for the State of Alabama and promotes
the health, welfare, progress, and physical and economic well-being of the people of this
state. (2) Adequate facilities are essential to the proper development of the meeting and
entertainment industries. Adequate convention facilities are often not self-supporting so
as to permit their financing with revenue bonds, but generate economic activity and stimulate
business and commerce in the affected locality, and throughout the state, through increased
demand for goods and services furnished by restaurants, hotels, places of entertainment, as
well as stores, shops and other establishments, and, as a consequence, they generate additional
state and local tax revenues. (3) It is in the interest of the state and its cities and counties,
for the state to assist any city, county, and entities or...

36-18-50
Section 36-18-50 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds, determines, and declares the
following: (1) Driving a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance
continues to be a major problem on the highways of our state and causes the death or injury
of thousands of our citizens each year. (2) The Legislature should use whatever authority
is available to it to discourage driving a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or
a controlled substance, including the levying of fines therefor at a level which will discourage
such activity. (3) Administering and implementing a quality chemical testing program for alcohol
and controlled substances is costly for the taxpayers and thus the convicted offender should
bear a greater portion of the financial burden of the chemical testing program at the state
and local level. (4) The chemical breath testing program conducted by this state has reduced
the number of deaths and injuries, and the program continues to be...
