Section 41-10-720 Legislative findings. The Legislature makes the following findings: (1) At
any given time, the level of activity in our construction industry is a primary yardstick
for measuring the overall economic health of this country and this state, and that the success
and stability of the building, manufacturing, and commercial businesses are dependent upon
a sufficient supply of skilled artisans and craft persons who can produce quality products
that inspire public confidence. The State of Alabama and the nation has a great need for a
program that provides for the recruitment of, and training programs and opportunities for,
new construction craft trade workers. It is desirable and in the public interest to establish
a public authority at the state level to create and implement such a program. (2) The passage
of a federal economic stimulus package provides substantial funding for significant new highway,
road, bridge, and public infrastructure projects, and the Legislature...

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...

limits and boundaries of the territorial waters among the Gulf Coast States...

Section 41-9-338 Legislative findings - Rosa Parks. The Legislature finds as follows as to
Rosa Parks: (1) On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery
bus. (2) This bold act led to the Montgomery bus boycott, a major event in the United States'
Civil Rights struggle. (3) Rosa Parks spent all of her life advocating for Civil Rights for
African-Americans. (4) Following the death of Rosa Parks, her body lay in honor in the rotunda
of the United States Capitol, making her the first woman given such honor, the second African-American,
and the first American who was not a government official. (5) A statue of Rosa Parks was placed
in the National Statuary Hall at the U.S. Capitol by special action of the U.S. Congress.
(6) That a commemorative statue to honor Rosa Parks would be a worthy addition to the grounds
of the Alabama State Capitol, and the Legislature supports the inclusion of such a statue
in a place of prominence on the West front of the Capitol...

Section 41-9-338.1 Legislative findings - Helen Keller. The Legislature find as follows as
to Helen Keller: (1) Helen Keller was born in Tuscumbia and, at age nineteen months, contracted
an illness which left her deaf and blind. (2) How Helen Keller learned to communicate is a
quintessential story of overcoming adversity and is inspirational to many people in Alabama,
the United States, and the world. (3) A statue of Helen Keller is in the National Statuary
Hall Collection as one of two statues representing Alabama since 2009, making hers one of
only nine statues in the collection representing women. (4) That a commemorative statue to
honor Helen Keller would be a worthy addition to the grounds of the Alabama State Capitol,
and the Legislature supports the inclusion of such a statue in a place where it will be readily
accessible to, and touchable by, disabled persons. (Act 2019-178, §2.)...

41-10-35
Section 41-10-35 Legislative findings and intent. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
imposes a "state ceiling" upon the aggregate principal amount of "private activity
bonds" which may be issued in any calendar year by or on behalf of a state and its political
subdivisions and instrumentalities, and establishes a method of allocating the available state
ceiling within each state. Authority is granted by the Internal Revenue Code, however, to
the states to provide for a different formula for allocation of the state ceiling. The Legislature
has found and determined that the allocation method contained in the Internal Revenue Code
is ill-suited for the needs of the State of Alabama and that the provisions of this division
will result in a more equitable and efficient distribution of the state ceiling available
to the state and will therefore promote the economic and industrial development of the state.
It is the intent of the Legislature by the passage of this division to...

Section 22-11E-1 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature finds the following: (1) Concussions
are one of the most commonly reported injuries in children and adolescents who participate
in sports and recreational activities. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates
that as many as 3,900,000 sports-related and recreation-related concussions occur in the United
States each year. A concussion is caused by a blow or motion to the head or body that causes
the brain to move rapidly inside the skull. The risk of catastrophic injuries or death is
significant when a concussion or head injury is not properly evaluated and managed. (2) Concussions
are a type of brain injury that can range from mild to severe and can disrupt the way the
brain normally works. Concussions can occur in any organized or unorganized sport or recreational
activity and can result from a fall or from participants colliding with each other, the ground,
or with obstacles. Concussions occur with or without...
