Section 22-30E-2 Legislative findings; purpose and intent of chapter; establishment of voluntary
assessment and/or cleanup program for properties with potential environmental contamination.
(a) The Legislature finds that rural and urban property in Alabama may have areas of actual
or perceived contamination at levels that may not be subject to assessment or cleanup under
applicable laws and regulations. The Legislature finds that this perception of contamination
discourages the purchase and productive use of otherwise usable properties. The Legislature
further finds that the voluntary assessment and/or cleanup 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...

Section 41-10-44.1 Legislative intent with respect to additional powers of the authority. The
Legislature has found and determined that the economic well-being of the citizens of the State
of Alabama will be enhanced by the increased development and growth of industry within the
state and that it is in the best interest of the state to induce the location or expansion
of industrial and research facilities within the state in order to promote the public purpose
of creating new jobs within the state. The Legislature further has found and determined that
the inducements herein provided will encourage the creation of jobs which would not otherwise
exist and will create new sources of tax revenues for the state and its political subdivisions.
The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the powers to be granted to the authority by
this article and the purposes to be accomplished hereby are proper governmental and public
purposes and that the inducement of the location or expansion of...

Section 45-49-21.20 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature is cognizant of Opinion of the
Justices No. 376, issued April 9, 2002, which states that a local bill for Washington County
"purporting to allow by local law the creation of a traffic in alcohol that does not
presently exist in smaller municipalities in Washington County, does not fit within the ambit
of the last paragraph of Section 104 permitting the Legislature to pass local laws regulating
or prohibiting such traffic." The effect of this Opinion of the Justices is to greatly
limit situations in which local laws may be enacted regarding alcoholic beverages. This opinion,
in part, was based upon a determination that, "Generally, 'regulate' implies the exercise
of control over something that already exists." While respecting the constitutional authority
granted to the Alabama Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, this
body disagrees with the conclusion reached by the court concerning Section 104....

Section 38-15-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that there is a substantial need
to protect children and youth from abuse and neglect by persons entrusted with their physical
custody, and from persons or organizations that advertise, hold themselves out, or lead others
to believe that they will provide them with health, therapeutic, rehabilitative, or disciplinary
services, and from persons employed or exercising authority over them, and who they depend
upon to provide the basic necessities of life. The Legislature further finds that abuse and
neglect often take the form of the withholding of the basic necessities of life, including
food, water, shelter, clothing, and health care through an affirmative act or omission. It
is the intent of the Legislature to implement a baseline of registration and regulation requirements
for religious, faith-based, or church nonprofit, other nonprofit, and for profit affiliated
youth residential facilities and institutions that have...

Section 45-37A-461 Electric supplier service territories. (a) The Legislature of the State
of Alabama has investigated the economic, financial, and environmental impact associated with
the potential for duplication of electric distribution facilities used for the furnishing
of retail electric service in and around the City of Tarrant City, Alabama. Among its findings
is that with respect to retail electric service industry, the benefits normally associated
with competition between two suppliers for customers is outweighed by the tremendous cost
burden which must be borne by such customers associated with the maintenance of two or more
duplicate sets of facilities. It is the further finding of the Legislature that the existence
of duplicate facilities for the furnishing of electricity at retail in Tarrant City is not
in the public interest because of the adverse impact which such duplication has on environmental
and aesthetic values and on safety. It is therefore declared that the...
