Section 16-6D-8 Tax credits; Failing Schools Income Tax Credit Account. (a) To provide educational
flexibility and state accountability for students in failing schools: (1) For tax years beginning
on and after January 1, 2013, an Alabama income tax credit is made available to the parent
of a student enrolled in or assigned to attend a failing school to help offset the cost of
transferring the student to a nonfailing public school or nonpublic school of the parent's
choice. The income tax credit shall be an amount equal to 80 percent of the average annual
state cost of attendance for a public K-12 student during the applicable tax year or the actual
cost of attending a nonfailing public school or nonpublic school, whichever is less. The actual
cost of attending a nonfailing public school or nonpublic school shall be calculated by adding
together any tuition amounts or mandatory fees charged by the school to the student as a condition
of enrolling or of maintaining enrollment in the...

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...

36-36-1
Section 36-36-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature of Alabama hereby finds and determines
that the funding of accrued and accruing health care benefits to retired employees and their
dependents is a proper governmental function and purpose of the state. The Governmental Accounting
Standards Board has issued Statements 43 and 45, which set forth standards on accounting and
reporting for post-employment benefits other than pensions by governments. The new standards
will require the state to account for such post-employment benefits on an actuarial basis
during an employee's career rather than on a pay-as-you-go basis during the employee's period
of retirement. The Legislature has determined that it would be advisable for the state to
create irrevocable trusts whereby the state may begin funding those benefits in advance to
address and ultimately offset the state's accrued liabilities for such benefits. Therefore,
the state, the State Employees' Insurance Board, and the Public...

Section 40-9-34 Hudson-Alpha Institute for Biotechnology. (a) The following is hereby found
and declared by the Legislature of Alabama: (1) The lack of content in natural and bio-science
education offered to students in kindergarten through high school is a nationwide problem.
(2) Such lack in curricular offerings to students will be detrimental in the long-term to
the economy of the state and the welfare of the citizens during the scientific revolution
now engulfing the world. (3) The biotechnology institute can provide to education leaders
of the distance learning program of the state cutting edge biotechnology curriculum recommendations
and content for Alabama high schools, by providing information about cutting edge biotechnology
curriculum and content to students in kindergarten through high school pursuant to the distance
learning program of the state, the state course of study, and state textbooks. (4) By educating
Alabama high school students in the field of biotechnology, such...

Section 45-30-102 Election of superintendent. (a) The Legislature finds that Amendment 578
to the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, was approved by an overwhelming majority of the voters
of Franklin County and the Franklin County School District at the election held for that purpose.
The Legislature further finds and declares that subsection (b) of Amendment 578 was intended
to require approval of a majority of those qualified electors of the political subdivisions
voting at the constitutional amendment election and was not intended to require approval by
a majority of the registered voters in the respective political subdivisions. However, because
the Legislature is mindful that opponents to Amendment 578 may attempt to challenge Amendment
578 based on an unreasonable interpretation of subsection (b) of Amendment 578, the Legislature
desires to provide further for the nomination of the Franklin County Superintendent of Education.
(b) Candidates for election to the office of the...

Section 6-5-160 Legislative findings. The Legislature of Alabama finds and declares: (1) That
in order to protect children from exposure to obscenity, prevent assaults on the sensibilities
of unwilling adults by the purveyor of obscene material, and suppress the proliferation of
"adult-only video stores," "adult bookstores," "adult movie houses,"
and "adult-only entertainment," the sale and dissemination of obscene material should
be regulated without impinging on the First Amendment rights of free speech by erecting barriers
to the open display of erotic and lascivious material. (2) That the premises in which a violation
of Division 5, Article 4, Chapter 12, Title 13A occurs should be declared a public nuisance.
(Act 98-467, p. 893, §1.)...

8-19C-1
Section 8-19C-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature of Alabama finds all of the following:
(1) The use of the telephone to market goods and services to the home is pervasive now due
to the increased use of cost-effective telemarketing techniques. (2) Over 30,000 businesses
actively telemarket goods and services to business and residential customers. (3) Everyday,
over 300,000 solicitors place calls to more than 18 million Americans, including citizens

the privacy and peacefulness of the home. (5) Many citizens of this state are outraged over
the proliferation of nuisance calls to their homes from telemarketers. (6) Privacy rights
and commercial freedom of speech of individuals can be balanced in a way that accommodates
both the privacy of individuals and legitimate telemarketing practices. (7) It is in the public
interest to establish a mechanism under which the individual citizens of this state...

of Alabama to amend certain provisions of the Code of Alabama 1975 and certain prior acts

boards on favorable terms and will thereby serve an essential need of the citizens of the
state. Bonds of the authority in the form of bonds, notes, or other debt obligations under
