Section 11-61A-1 Declarations. The history of municipalities and the course of legislatures
throughout America, including the Legislature of Alabama, confirm that public welfare requires
that Class 2 municipalities be authorized to provide off-street parking facilities through
parking authorities. The Legislature makes each of the following declarations: (1) The free
circulation of traffic on the streets of Class 2 municipalities is necessary to the health,
safety, and general welfare of the public. (2) The greatly increased use of motor vehicles
has caused serious traffic congestion on the streets of the Class 2 municipalities. (3) The
parking of motor vehicles has contributed to the congestion. (4) The congestion prevents the

Section 40-30-2 Purpose and legislative intent. (a) Purpose. The purpose of the Electronic
Tax Return Filing Act is to authorize the Department of Revenue to accept tax returns and
other documents of all types filed in electronic commerce without violating other statutes
originally drafted for the use of paper returns submitted either personally or through the

regulations for accepting tax returns by electronic media, to control the...
