Section 11-32-1 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature finds, determines, and hereby declares
that, in counties having a population of not less than 600,000, there are conditions present
that are not present in counties with lesser populations. Those conditions include, but are
not limited to, the following: (1) The excessive growth in private vehicular traffic in the
counties is placing excessive burdens upon the road systems and parking facilities, especially
in commercial and industrial districts and in areas of high population density, which cannot
be alleviated by private vehicular traffic. (2) The number of vehicular miles the average
citizen of those counties travels per day is among the highest nationally in terms of miles
and commuting times. (3) The projected continued economic growth of the counties and the general
health and welfare of the citizens of the counties require those counties to provide the enhanced
availability of public transportation facilities, operations,...

Section 41-10-21 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent; construction of article.
The Legislature hereby makes the following findings of fact and declares its intent to be
as follows: In recent years changes have taken place in the economy of this state which have
had a far-reaching effect on the welfare of its citizens. The agrarian economy which once
prevailed in this state and provided the principal means of livelihood for most of the citizens
of the state has proven inadequate to provide employment for the state's growing population.
The advent of mechanized and scientific farming methods has reduced greatly the number of
persons required to obtain increased yields of agricultural products from land under cultivation.
There has been a correspondingly greater dependence upon industrial development as the bulwark
of the economy of this state. It is appropriate and necessary that measures be taken to secure
to the citizens of this state the benefits of a strengthened...

Section 45-45-81.07 Legislative intent. The purposes of this subpart are to effect efficiency
and economy in the operation of the courts of Madison County, but it is the will of the Legislature
that this subpart be implemented in a spirit of understanding and compassion for the capable
and loyal personnel now serving in the offices of Circuit Court Clerk, Register in Chancery,
and Clerk of the Madison County Court, or any successor court, and that this subpart shall
not require any reduction in force in the personnel performing the functions now performed
by those offices except through the normal process of attrition. It is, however, the further
intention of the Legislature that this subpart be utilized to reduce duplication of effort
whenever possible. (Acts 1973, No. 1040, p. 1627, § 8.)...

11-92B-2
Section 11-92B-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature makes the following findings: (1) That
the economic development of property comprising a former military installation is of vital
importance to the life, health, and welfare of the citizens of local cities and counties affected
by the base closure and the state. (2) That it is desirable to allow for the establishment
of local reuse authorities capable of managing and promoting the reuse and economic development
of military installations after the closure of the military installations. (3) That an Alabama
court has ruled that a city and county lack legislative authority to join in any entity for
the purposes provided for in this chapter. The Legislature finds that the purpose of this
chapter is to provide such authority. (4) That in consideration of the critical need for valid
and fully authorized public entities, with community involvement and notice, to develop closed
military installations, and perform environmental restoration...

16-60-82
Section 16-60-82 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent. The Legislature hereby
makes the following findings of fact and declares its intent to be as follows: The number
of students enrolled in trade schools and colleges supported wholly or in part by the state
has increased greatly during recent years. Further increases in enrollment are anticipated
because of the increased rate of births, the increased need for skilled workers and other
factors. In order to meet these needs and to provide residents of this state with the opportunity
to receive adequate instruction in the arts and sciences and in useful skills and trades,
it is imperative that junior colleges and additional trade schools be constructed, equipped
and operated. The tax revenues and other funds currently available for trade schools and junior
colleges are not sufficient to permit immediate outlays of the large amounts of capital necessary
for such construction and equipment and at the same time to permit...

22-30F-2
Section 22-30F-2 Legislative findings; purpose and intent of chapter; establishment of revolving
loan program for voluntary remediation of environmentally contaminated areas. (a) The Legislature
finds that rural and urban property in Alabama may have areas of contamination which may be
addressed via the Alabama Land Recycling and Economic Redevelopment Act, Sections 22-30E-1
through 22-30E-13. The Legislature further finds that encouraging the voluntary remediation
and redevelopment of such properties is in the public interest. (b) The Legislature finds
that industries and developers often give preference to previously unused greenfield sites
over previously used property due largely to concerns over the financial and environmental
liabilities which may be incurred in acquiring such previously used property for reuse and
redevelopment. The Legislature further finds that the appropriate reuse and redevelopment
of properties which are contaminated, or perceived to be contaminated is in...

Section 37-15-10.1 Underground Damage Prevention Authority. (a) The Underground Damage Prevention

administrative support for the authority, subject to the concurrence by the authority board.
The Public Service Commission shall charge the expenses associated with the administrative
duties of the authority back to the authority, subject to the concurrence of the authority
board. The administrative support provided by the Alabama Public Service Commission to the
authority is in an administrative capacity only and nothing in this chapter shall expand the
jurisdiction of the Alabama Public Service Commission in any...
