Section 33-17-2 Legislative intent; construction of chapter. The Legislature hereby makes the
findings of facts and declaration of intent hereinafter set forth in this section. The construction
of a navigable waterway between Demopolis, Alabama and the Tennessee River, utilizing the
channel of the Tombigbee River, would provide a new transportation route of great importance
and would stimulate the development of commerce, agriculture and industry in many sections
of the state. Local flooding along the tributary streams of the Tombigbee River occurs frequently
in the growing and harvesting season and causes considerable damage to agriculture in the
affected sections of the state. Improvements in the channels of the tributary streams will
eliminate much of the damage caused by flooding and will also permit improved farming practices
and better land use. It is the intention of the Legislature by the passage of this chapter
to implement the provisions of Amendment No. 270 of the...

Section 11-98-3 The digits 911 established as primary emergency telephone number. It has been
shown to be in the public interest to shorten the time required for a citizen to request and
receive emergency aid. The provision of a single, primary three-digit emergency number through
which emergency services can be quickly and efficiently obtained will provide a significant
contribution to law enforcement and other public service efforts by simplifying the notification
of public service personnel. Such a simplified means of procuring emergency services will
result in the saving of life, a reduction in the destruction of property, quicker apprehension
of criminals, and ultimately the saving of moneys. Establishment of a uniform emergency number
is a matter of concern and interest to all citizens. It is the purpose of this chapter to
establish the number 911 as the primary emergency telephone number for use in communications
districts created in municipalities or counties as herein...

Section 11-49B-1 Declaration of purpose and legislative findings. The Legislature finds that
it is estimated that by the year 2040, 40 percent of the economy of this nation, both people
and jobs, will be located in a 14-state region between Texas and Virginia. Alabama, and in
particular the Class 1 municipality and surrounding counties, will be in the very center of
this geographic spread. This center of the growth pattern when combined with our educational
facilities, quality of life, abundance of natural and cultural resources, steady economic
growth, range of housing options, quality health care, climate, affordability, and accessibility
provides this region with an unprecedented opportunity to attract new business both service
based and manufacturing. It, therefore, is the intent of this chapter to take advantage of
this growth opportunity by providing for a unified, coordinated, centrally orchestrated, genuinely
regional system of public transportation embracing services in the...
