Section 16-16A-7 Additional findings; bonds authorized; procedures. (a) The Legislature finds
that the number of students attending the several school systems located in those areas of
North Alabama that will be directly impacted by the 2005 BRAC and Subsequent BRAC Actions
will collectively increase by an estimated 9,000 students. As a result, there will be a need
for the construction of additional school facilities as well as the renovation of existing
school facilities. The Legislature also finds that the 2005 BRAC and Subsequent BRAC Actions
will have a positive impact on future receipts to the Education Trust Fund, as the significant
population growth in North Alabama will increase sales, income, and other tax collections.
Thus, it is an efficient use of state funds to allow such revenue growth to help pay for capital
improvement costs associated with BRAC-related school construction. (b) The Alabama Public
School and College Authority is hereby authorized to sell and issue its...

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 41-4-350 Legislative findings; purpose. (a) The Legislature of Alabama hereby finds
and determines that the responsible stewardship of its state-owned and leased real property
is a proper governmental function of the State of Alabama. The Legislature finds that costs
for maintenance, construction, and leasing of real property in the state government comprise
a significant portion of available resources. The Legislature also finds that as one of the
largest owners and operators of buildings in Alabama, the state is a major consumer of energy.
It is therefore the intent of Act 2015-435 to establish centralized management of real property
through leasing administration, facilities maintenance and management, and construction management
that consists of expanded duties in existing divisions, as well as newly established divisions,
within the Department of Finance. In establishing this centralization, it is further the intent
of the Legislature to establish comprehensive real...

Section 34-3-100 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature hereby finds and declares
that it is necessary and desirable, in the best interests of the state, that the Alabama State
Bar have a building or buildings with space available for its administrative offices, for
its Board of Commissioners, for the Board of Examiners on Admission to the State Bar, for
the storage of library and other educational materials relating to the improvement of the
administration of justice, for its standing and other committees and the staffs of its professional
journals, for continuing legal education activities and for other related purposes. It is
the intention of the Legislature by the passage of this article to authorize the incorporation
of the president, the first vice-president and the secretary of the Alabama State Bar as a
public corporation for the purpose of constructing, erecting, owning, operating, and maintaining
such a building or buildings and to vest such corporation with all...

45-45-82.51
Section 45-45-82.51 Legislative findings. The Legislature hereby finds and declares the following:
(1) The Madison County Judicial System faces a severe crisis. The Twenty-third Judicial Circuit
has the highest caseload in Alabama. The number of criminal cases has doubled during the last
five years, resulting in a backlog of almost 4,500 cases, including approximately 18 capital
murder cases. Some defendants have been awaiting trial for almost five years. The caseload
facing prosecutors is staggering. Individual drug crime prosecutors are assigned in excess
of 500 cases and it is not uncommon for each prosecutor to prepare to try 60 cases on a single
week's docket. The sheer number of criminal defendants is so large that judges cannot bring
them all into the courtroom without violating an order of the Madison County Fire Marshal.
(2) While faced with these virtually insurmountable problems, the state budget for fiscal
year 2004 has required the system to bear cuts so draconian that the...

Section 5-17-45 Legislative findings; powers of credit unions; agreements; reports. (a) The
Legislature finds as fact and determines that the credit unions having their principal place
of business in Alabama must keep pace with technological and other improvements constantly
being made throughout the United States so as to enable Alabama credit unions to render better
and more efficient services to their members. It is necessary and desirable that the administrator
be given additional authority in these fields. (b) The administrator is hereby authorized
to expand powers of Alabama credit unions in order to accomplish both of the following: (1)
Accommodate or take advantage of changing technologies. (2) Assure the ability of Alabama
credit unions to be responsive in their business to the needs and conveniences demanded by
credit union members through on-premises as well as off-premises operations; provided, that
nothing in this section shall enable the administrator to authorize credit...

Section 45-36-80.05 Jackson County Preservation of Justice Act. SECTION 4 OF ACT 2019-215 WAS
AMENDED BY ACT 2020-119 IN THE 2020 REGULAR SESSION, EFFECTIVE MAY 18, 2020. THIS IS NOT IN
THE CURRENT CODE SUPPLEMENT. (a) This section shall be known and cited as the Jackson County
Preservation of Justice Act. (b) The Legislature hereby finds and declares the following:
(1) The financial restraints existing in the State General Fund budget have resulted in a
shortfall to the Unified Judicial System that has caused the layoff of many judicial employees.
In Jackson County, three employees in the circuit clerk's office who were scheduled for layoff
have been temporarily retained with alternate funding other than funds appropriated to the
Unified Judicial System; however, this alternate funding cannot be relied upon in the future.
Revenue from this section will restore funding for some judicial employees in the circuit.
(2) This section addresses this problem by increasing court costs. (c) In...

Section 15-25-1 Prosecution for physical or sexual offense or exploitation involving child
under age 16 - Leading questions of victim or witness under age 10. In any criminal prosecution
for a physical offense or a sexual offense wherein the alleged victim is a child under the
age of 16 years and in any criminal prosecution involving the sexual exploitation of a child
under the age of 16, the court may allow leading questions at trial by the prosecution or
defense of any victim or witness in a case who is under the age of 10, if the court determines
that the allowance of leading questions will further the interests of justice. The court may
on motion of the prosecution or the defense, or on its own motion, limit the scope and extent
of any leading questions. (Acts 1985, No. 85-743, p. 1194, §1; Acts 1994, No. 94-704, p.
