Section 23-1-291 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that certain portions of the state
highway system provide access to state locales that are notable for their scenic, natural,
historic, recreational, cultural, and archaeological value and are therefore worthy of designations
as scenic byways in order to provide special consideration of their unique features and special
role in the highway system. The Legislature further finds that the public interest would be
served by the formation of a coordinated scenic byways program to enhance recreational, cultural,
and archaeological resources, encourage economic development through tourism, improve the
transportation system, and educate residents and visitors on the history, culture, and natural
beauty of this state. In order to implement this program, the Legislature has determined that
a two-tiered structure would best serve the governance of the Alabama Scenic Byways program.
The Legislature recognizes that the application of this...

Section 37-4-150 Electric transmission facilities. (a) This section shall be known and may
be cited as the Energy Security Act of 2015. (b) The Legislature hereby finds and declares
