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...

Section 11-47-14.1 Construction of port facilities by Class 1 municipalities; bonds and other
contributions. (a) Legislative findings. The Legislature of Alabama finds that the Tombigbee
Waterway will soon be completed, and the transportation opportunities afforded thereby must

Section 45-13-20 Municipal option election for legalization of sale and distribution of alcoholic
beverages. (a)(1) The Legislature of Alabama is cognizant of "Opinion of the Justices
No. 376," issued April 9, 2002, which states 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, this...
