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 45-39A-50 Local option election authorized for sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages.
(a)(1) The Legislature of Alabama is cognizant of Opinion of the Justices No. 376, 825 So.
2d 109 (Ala. 2002), which states on page 115 that a local bill for Cherokee County "purporting
to allow by local law the creation of a traffic in alcohol that does not presently exist in
smaller municipalities in Cherokee County, does not fit within the ambit of the last paragraph
of Section 104 permitting the Legislature to pass local laws regulating or prohibiting such
traffic." The effect of this Opinion of the Justices is to greatly limit situations in
which local laws may be enacted regarding alcoholic beverages. This opinion was, in part,
based upon a determination that, "Generally, 'regulate' implies the exercise of control
over something that already exists." While respecting the constitutional authority granted
to the Alabama Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution of Alabama of 1901,...
