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.

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...
