2-6A-1
Section 2-6A-1 Declaration of policy. It is the finding of the Legislature that, despite the
fact that agriculture has been and continues to be the backbone of the economy of the State
of Alabama, increasing numbers of the state's farmers and agricultural businessmen are losing
their livelihood due to conditions beyond their control caused by the current economic situation
in agriculture and certain structural changes that are occurring in the economy of both the
state and the United States. A crisis has developed in the state's agricultural sector that
is not and cannot be met with existing programs and resources, with the result that more and
more Alabama farmers and agricultural businessmen are being forced to leave farming or to
seek supplemental employment, but without the provision of any coordinated program of assistance
to help them retrain and make the adjustment to other forms of economic livelihood or to acquire
the needed supplemental skills. The Legislature thus deems it...

Section 9-16-71 Declaration of public policy and legislative intent; all land surface mined
under this article shall be reclaimed. (a) The objective of this article is to provide for
the safe, responsible and reasonable reclamation of lands upon which surface disturbances
will be created by surface mining and the surface effects of underground mining so as to protect

and promote the health and safety of the people of this state, consistent with the protection
of property and with maximum employment and the economic and industrial well-being of the

contributes to the economic and material well-being of the state. (b) The Legislature finds
that the unregulated or irresponsible surface mining of coal may cause...

Section 2-6-11 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that the Garrett Coliseum and the
Alabama Agricultural Center, hereinafter the facility, is a significant historic facility
owned by the State of Alabama and which faces imminent closure because of operational and
public safety concerns if it is not restored, renovated, and improved. The facility was designed
in 1949 by Betty Robinson, the first woman graduate from Auburn University with a degree in
architecture. The facility, completed in 1953, is of historic and cultural significance to
the State of Alabama and its restoration will enhance opportunities for economic development
that will benefit the state. The Legislature further finds that the most efficient way to
restore the facility and to operate it profitably is for the Alabama Agricultural Center Board,
hereinafter referred to as the board, to enter into agreements with public institutions and
other entities through which the use of private funding is primarily used to...

Section 24-1A-41 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that the effects of the global
and national recession are now affecting Alabama's housing industry and adversely affecting
the state's economic development activity. The large number of homes on the market is causing
a reduction in housing starts, resulting in fewer construction jobs and lower tax collections
from the sale of building materials. In addition, the large number of existing homes on the
market is adversely affecting the states economic recovery. The Legislature desires to provide
a stimulus to provide a boost to the housing industry and to facilitate economic development
and industrial recruitment by creating a guarantee fund that would encourage investments in
new thirty-year, fixed-rate conventional mortgage loans through a program administered by
the Alabama Housing Finance Authority. The guarantee fund will reduce the investor's potential
for losses. (Act 2009-284, p. 487,ยง2.)...

Section 22-4B-2 Legislative intent. The Legislature of Alabama finds that there exists a critical
shortage of registered nurses who are willing and able to provide health care to citizens
in rural areas of Alabama. Such shortage is particularly acute in rural areas, and has a negative
impact on the availability of care to low income and indigent citizens of Alabama who reside
in rural areas. The Legislature further finds that there are many dedicated employees of the
Alabama Department of Public Health who are disqualified from training as registered nurses
solely by reason of their inability to finance the cost of attending school to obtain the
requisite degree. Such employees are also prevented or retarded in career advancement because
of a lack of education. It is the intent of the Legislature in adopting this chapter to address
the nursing shortage in county health departments and in federally-funded community health
centers in rural areas and to provide opportunities for career...

Section 11-40-16 Creation of enterprise zones within Class 1 cities; purpose. (a) The Legislature
of Alabama hereby finds and declares that the health, safety, and welfare of the people of
Class 1 cities are enhanced by the continual encouragement, development, growth, and expansion
of private enterprise within this state. That there are certain economically depressed areas
in such cities that need particular attention to create new jobs, stimulate economic activity,
and attract private sector investment rather than government subsidy to improve the quality
of life of their citizens. It is the purpose of this section to encourage new economic activity
in these depressed areas of such Class 1 cities by means of reduced taxes and the removal
of unnecessary governmental barriers to the production and earning of wages and profits and
the creation of economic growth. (b) In order to further the purposes of this section, Class
1 cities are hereby authorized to create by ordinance one or more...
