11-49B-1
Section 11-49B-1 Declaration of purpose and legislative findings. The Legislature finds
that it is estimated that by the year 2040, 40 percent of the economy of this nation, both
people and jobs, will be located in a 14-state region between Texas and Virginia. Alabama,
and in particular the Class 1 municipality and surrounding counties, will be in the very center
of this geographic spread. This center of the growth pattern when combined with our educational
facilities, quality of life, abundance of natural and cultural resources, steady economic
growth, range of housing options, quality health care, climate, affordability, and accessibility
provides this region with an unprecedented opportunity to attract new business both service
based and manufacturing. It, therefore, is the intent of this chapter to take advantage of
this growth opportunity by providing for a unified, coordinated, centrally orchestrated, genuinely
regional system of public transportation embracing services in the...

16-60-82
Section 16-60-82 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent. The Legislature
hereby makes the following findings of fact and declares its intent to be as follows: The
number of students enrolled in trade schools and colleges supported wholly or in part by the
state has increased greatly during recent years. Further increases in enrollment are anticipated
because of the increased rate of births, the increased need for skilled workers and other
factors. In order to meet these needs and to provide residents of this state with the opportunity
to receive adequate instruction in the arts and sciences and in useful skills and trades,
it is imperative that junior colleges and additional trade schools be constructed, equipped
and operated. The tax revenues and other funds currently available for trade schools and junior
colleges are not sufficient to permit immediate outlays of the large amounts of capital necessary
for such construction and equipment and at the same time to permit...

Section 22-21-312 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature hereby finds and
declares: (1) That publicly-owned (as distinguished from investor-owned and community-nonprofit)
hospitals and other health care facilities furnish a substantial part of the indigent and
reduced-rate care and other health care services furnished to residents of the state by hospitals
and other health care facilities generally; (2) That as a result of current significant fiscal
and budgetary limitations or restrictions, the state and the various counties, municipalities,
and educational institutions therein are no longer able to provide, from taxes and other general
fund moneys, all the revenues and funds necessary to operate such publicly-owned hospitals
and other health care facilities adequately and efficiently; and (3) That to enable such publicly-owned
hospitals and other health care facilities to continue to operate adequately and efficiently,
it is necessary that the entities and agencies...

22-30E-2
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...
