37-11B-2
Section 37-11B-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds and determines that: (1) There
exists in the State of Alabama a continuing need to construct, improve, and invest in rail
and rail infrastructure within the state. A strong rail infrastructure promotes economic development
and employment opportunities and promotes the public good and general welfare of the state.
(2) The public purpose of this chapter is to develop a coordinated program related to the
rail infrastructure within the State of Alabama, including, but not limited to, the construction
of such additional rail lines or tracks as may be necessary or advisable, the maintenance
and improvement of the existing rail infrastructure, and the prudent use of state funds to
take advantage of any opportunities for federal funding assistance that may be available.

22-30A-1
Section 22-30A-1 Legislative findings; purpose and intent of chapter. The Legislature finds
that hazardous substances have been treated, stored or disposed of at sites which are inactive
or abandoned and that such sites have the potential for deleterious impacts on groundwater,
human health or the environment. The Legislature, therefore, declares that it is in the public
interest to assure that such sites are identified and that action is taken to provide for
the cleanup and rehabilitation of such sites within the State of Alabama. The Legislature
intends that funds provided under this chapter be used primarily to clean up and rehabilitate
sites not qualified for or unlikely to receive funding under the Federal Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C. §9601 et seq.) but that the funds
provided under this chapter may also be used to provide state matching funds for cleanups
and for operation and maintenance of sites which have completed...

Section 29-2-270 Legislative findings. The Legislature makes the following findings and statements:
(1) The reduction of the dependence on foreign oil is necessary to preserve and protect our
national security. (2) Reliable, plentiful, and affordable energy and the effective distribution
of energy are vital to the support and growth of all sectors of Alabama's economy. (3) The

efficiency of existing technology combined with the development of new technologies, including
coal gasification, coal liquification, advanced coal-based generation, and nuclear power,
should be encouraged as ways of producing more energy with...

Section 22-4-31 Legislative findings. The Legislature does hereby set out the following findings
and reasons for passage of this article. Alabama has adopted a system of health planning and
development administered by the State Health Planning and Development Agency (SHPDA). In addition,
the Statewide Health Coordinating Council (SHCC) is charged with reviewing Alabama's health
planning needs and writing the State Health Plan to assist the Certificate of Need Review
Board. The Certificate of Need Review Board is responsible for reviewing and approving certificate
of need applications in Alabama. There is no current systematic way for the SHPDA, SHCC, or
the Certificate of Need Review Board to collect all the health care services information necessary
for proper health care planning in Alabama, because reporting to SHPDA is voluntary. The Legislature
hereby finds and determines that collection of additional health care information is necessary
for informed statewide health planning. The...

3-6A-2
Section 3-6A-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that certain dogs are an increasingly
serious and widespread threat to the safety and welfare of citizens of this state by virtue
of their unjustified attacks on and associated injury to individuals; that these attacks are
in part attributable to the failure of owners to confine and properly train and control these
dogs; that existing laws inadequately address this problem; and that it is therefore appropriate
and necessary to impose a uniform set of state requirements on the owners of dangerous dogs.

Section 34-3-100 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature hereby finds and declares
that it is necessary and desirable, in the best interests of the state, that the Alabama State
Bar have a building or buildings with space available for its administrative offices, for
its Board of Commissioners, for the Board of Examiners on Admission to the State Bar, for
the storage of library and other educational materials relating to the improvement of the
administration of justice, for its standing and other committees and the staffs of its professional
journals, for continuing legal education activities and for other related purposes. It is

of the president, the first vice-president and the secretary of the Alabama State Bar as a
public corporation for the purpose of constructing, erecting, owning, operating, and maintaining
such a building or buildings and to vest such corporation with all...

the power to acquire, operate, manage, and control parks, playgrounds, and other recreational

41-10-590
Section 41-10-590 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds and declares the following: That
the State of Alabama places a high priority on the recruitment of industries to locate or
expand their operations in Alabama; that it is a vital economic development tool for the state
to be able to offer strategic incentives to such industries in the form of limited financial
commitments; that the Alabama Incentives Financing Authority has heretofore been created for
the purpose of funding such financial commitments made prior to July 20, 1995; and that by
the passage of Act 99-198 of the 1999 Regular Session it is the intention of the Legislature
to enable the authority to meet commitments made by the state to industries committing to
locate or expand in the state after such date and, further, to enable the authority to lease
or convey title to worker training facilities to the Alabama Public School and College Authority
and to the Alabama Industrial Development Training Institute. The...

9-13-271
Section 9-13-271 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the
application of prescribed burning is a landowner property right and a land management tool
that benefits the safety of the public, the environment, the natural resources, and the economy
of Alabama. Therefore, the Legislature finds that: (1) Prescribed burning reduces naturally
occurring vegetative fuels within wildland areas. The reduction of the fuel load reduces the
risk and severity of major catastrophic wildfire, thereby reducing the threat of loss of life
and property, particularly in urbanizing areas. (2) Many of Alabama's natural communities
require periodic fire for maintenance of their ecological integrity. Prescribed burning is
essential to the perpetuation, restoration, and management of many plant and animal communities.
Significant loss of the state's biological diversity will occur if fire is excluded from fire-dependent
ecosystems. (3) Forest lands constitute significant...
