Section 16-57-5 Funding from Education Trust Fund. The Legislature finds that Tuskegee University has a unique relationship to the State of Alabama. The Legislature further finds that due to the unique nature of the circumstances related to the establishment and development of Tuskegee Institute which differs from that of private schools and colleges receiving funds from the state and from the state's public colleges and universities, the institution should be afforded a unique treatment relative to funding from the Education Trust Fund. Tuskegee Institute was established by an act of the Legislature in 1881 and separately incorporated by an act of the Legislature in 1892; the Governor appoints five commissioners who serve as voting members on the Tuskegee Board; and the State Superintendent of Education serves as an ex officio voting commissioner on the Tuskegee Board. Tuskegee has received appropriations from the Legislature since 1881. Being a private institution as well as a state...

Section 28-4A-6 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that it is in the best interest of the public welfare of the State of Alabama to preserve and redevelop the downtown municipal areas and registered historic districts and certain economically distressed areas of this state and to further promote the preservation and redevelopment of historic buildings and sites.

Section 40-18-370.1 Legislative findings as to enhancement of Alabama Jobs Act. The Legislature finds as follows: (a) While Alabama's incentive programs have succeeded in growing industry in the more populated parts of the state, Alabama's rural and low growth communities have not enjoyed the same rates of success. (b) Alabama's incentives grew out of a need to attract heavy industry to the state. Now, Alabama must also prepare for the future by attracting and retaining high-tech companies, and preparing and retaining a workforce trained for such jobs. (c) New tools must be brought to bear to solve Alabama's rural, low growth, and high-tech deficits. (d) It is a public purpose to expand Alabama's incentives laws to attract and retain companies in rural and low growth areas in Alabama, and high-tech companies and workers throughout the state.
