(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 in the state and provided the principal means of livelihood for most of its citizens has proven inadequate to provide employment for the state's growing population.

(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.
