Section 41-10-35 Legislative findings and intent. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
imposes a "state ceiling" upon the aggregate principal amount of "private activity
bonds" which may be issued in any calendar year by or on behalf of a state and its political
subdivisions and instrumentalities, and establishes a method of allocating the available state
ceiling within each state. Authority is granted by the Internal Revenue Code, however, to
the states to provide for a different formula for allocation of the state ceiling. The Legislature
has found and determined that the allocation method contained in the Internal Revenue Code
is ill-suited for the needs of the State of Alabama and that the provisions of this division
will result in a more equitable and efficient distribution of the state ceiling available
to the state and will therefore promote the economic and industrial development of the state.
It is the intent of the Legislature by the passage of this division to...
