Section 33-17-2 Legislative intent; construction of chapter. The Legislature hereby
makes the findings of facts and declaration of intent hereinafter set forth in this section.
The construction of a navigable waterway between Demopolis, Alabama and the Tennessee River,
utilizing the channel of the Tombigbee River, would provide a new transportation route of
great importance and would stimulate the development of commerce, agriculture and industry
in many sections of the state. Local flooding along the tributary streams of the Tombigbee
River occurs frequently in the growing and harvesting season and causes considerable damage
to agriculture in the affected sections of the state. Improvements in the channels of the
tributary streams will eliminate much of the damage caused by flooding and will also permit
improved farming practices and better land use. It is the intention of the Legislature by
the passage of this chapter to implement the provisions of Amendment No. 270 of the...

Section 18-4-3 Legislative intent. (a) The Legislature declares that this chapter shall
be applicable only to the acquisition of real property owned and occupied by the owner as
a residence by any state agency for use in projects or programs in which federal or state
funds are used; except that for the purposes of this chapter, federal guarantees or insurance
shall not be deemed to be federal funds. This chapter shall not apply to acquisitions by a
state agency which are voluntarily initiated or negotiated by the seller under no threat of
condemnation. (b) The Legislature further declares the following: (1) The purpose of this
chapter is to establish a uniform policy for the fair and equitable treatment of persons displaced
from their residences as a result of programs or projects involving the acquisition of real
property by any state agency. In order that the persons shall not suffer disproportionate
injuries as a result of programs designed for the benefit of the public as a whole,...

12-23A-3
Section 12-23A-3 Legislative intent. (a) The Legislature recognizes that a critical
need exists in this state for the criminal justice system to more effectively address the
number of defendants who are involved with substance abuse or addiction. For the criminal
justice system to maintain credibility, court and community alternatives for the substance
abuse and addiction involved defendant must be expanded. A growing body of research demonstrates
the impact of substance abuse on public safety, personal health, and health care costs, the
spread of communicable disease, educational performance and attainment, work force reliability
and productivity, family safety, and financial stability. Requiring accountability and effective
treatment, in addition to or in place of, conventional and expensive incarceration, will promote
public safety, the welfare of the individuals involved, reduce the burden upon the State Treasury
and benefit the common welfare of this state. The goals of this...

22-30F-2
Section 22-30F-2 Legislative findings; purpose and intent of chapter; establishment
of revolving loan program for voluntary remediation of environmentally contaminated areas.
(a) The Legislature finds that rural and urban property in Alabama may have areas of contamination
which may be addressed via the Alabama Land Recycling and Economic Redevelopment Act, Sections
22-30E-1 through 22-30E-13. The Legislature further finds that encouraging the voluntary remediation
and redevelopment 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 further finds that the appropriate reuse and redevelopment
of properties which are contaminated, or perceived to be contaminated is in...

Section 2-6B-1 Short title; legislative intent. (a) This chapter shall be known and
may be cited as the Alabama Family Farm Preservation Act. (b) The Legislature recognizes the
importance of the family farm in Alabama. It is the intent of the Legislature to assist in
the preservation of family farms in Alabama by assuring that lawfully conducted farms and
farm operations will not be considered to be public or private nuisances when and so long
as they are operated in conformance with generally accepted agricultural and farm management
practices, as described herein. The Legislature further recognizes that family farms may incorporate
to take advantage of those provisions of law not afforded to other corporations. (Act 2010-397,
p. 649, §1.)...

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...

45-13-20
Section 45-13-20 Municipal option election for legalization of sale and distribution
of alcoholic beverages. (a)(1) The Legislature of Alabama is cognizant of "Opinion of
the Justices No. 376," issued April 9, 2002, which states that a local bill for Cherokee
County "purporting to allow by local law the creation of a traffic in alcohol that does
not presently exist in smaller municipalities in Cherokee 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 was, in part, 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...
