Section 9-14C-1 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature finds that the land now known as
Red Mountain Greenway and Recreational Area, the principal iron ore mining location for the
Birmingham steel industry, contains a number of nationally significant historic mining sites,

and is suitable for the development of athletic complexes that could serve the entire region

Section 11-5-30 Legislative findings; construction. (a) The Legislature hereby finds, determines,
and declares all of the following: (1) An unattended and sudden death is one of society's
most tragic events and should receive the appropriate caring, competent, and thorough attention

Section 11-96A-1 Legislative declarations. It is hereby declared that a lack of sanitary, safe,
and affordable dwelling accommodations for persons of moderate and low income and shelters,
halfway houses and emergency housing for persons who would otherwise be homeless exists in
various municipalities and rural areas of the state. Consequently, persons of low and moderate

Section 24-1A-1 Legislative findings and declaration of purpose of chapter. (a) It is hereby
found and declared that from time to time there has existed and at the present time there
exists an inadequate supply of funds at interest rates sufficiently low to enable the financing
of safe and sanitary multi-family dwelling units for citizens of this state and single family
dwelling units for citizens of this state with low and moderate income; that the inability
to finance such single and multi-family dwelling units results in an inability of builders
to construct such housing causing unemployment or underemployment in the housing construction
and related businesses and causes a lack of safe and sanitary housing to be available to the
citizens of this state; that such unemployment or underemployment in the housing construction
and related businesses and an inadequate supply of safe and sanitary housing wastes human
resources, increases the public assistance burden of the state, impairs...
