Section 11-92A-2 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent; construction of article.
(a) The Legislature hereby makes the following findings of fact and declares its intent to
be as follows: In recent years changes have taken place in the economy of the state that have
had a far-reaching effect on the welfare of its citizens. The agrarian economy that once prevailed

Section 22-40A-2 Legislative findings; purpose. (a) The Legislature finds as follows: (1) The
Alabama Scrap Tire Study Commission (STSC) submitted a report as required by Section 22-40-10,
and SJR 152, adopted May 11, 2000. The section and the resolution both directed the STSC to

in landfills. Many of the remaining tires are disposed of illegally and therefore may present
a public health and/or environmental threat to the citizens of Alabama. (b) This chapter has
the following stated purposes, to: (1) Remediate...
