Section 11-88-41 Legislative findings and declarations; powers granted authorities by article
to be exercised only in resort areas and with the consent of county governing bodies. (a)
The Legislature hereby finds, determines, and declares that it is necessary and desirable
that authorities whose service area includes a resort area be authorized to exercise the powers
granted by this article, after proper action by a governing body or bodies, since the predominant
use of improvements in such resort areas is seasonal and service use charges may not provide
an adequate and feasible basis for financing such improvements. (b) No authority shall exercise
any of the powers granted in this article except in that part of its service area that is
a resort area and then only if the governing body of each county in which any part of its
service area is located has consented to the exercise of such powers, evidenced by the adoption
of a resolution, spread upon its minutes, naming the authority,...

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...
