Section 23-1-371 Formulation, adoption, of aircraft approach plans; airspace reservations.
(a) The Legislature finds that an airport hazard endangers the lives and property of the general
public, the users of airports, and the occupants of land in their vicinity, and reduces the
size of the area available for the landing, taking off, and maneuvering of aircraft, thus
tending to destroy or impair the utility of the airport and the public investment therein.
Accordingly, the creation, establishment, or maintenance of an airport hazard is a public
nuisance and harms the community served by the affected airport; it is therefore necessary
in the interest of the public health and safety and general welfare that the creation or establishment
of airport hazards be prevented and both the prevention of the creation or establishment of
airport hazards and the elimination, removal, alteration, mitigation, abatement, or marking
or lighting of existing airport hazards are public purposes for which...

Section 31-13-2 Legislative findings. The State of Alabama finds that illegal immigration is
causing economic hardship and lawlessness in this state and that illegal immigration is encouraged
when public agencies within this state provide public benefits without verifying immigration
status. Because the costs incurred by school districts for the public elementary and secondary
education of children who are aliens not lawfully present in the United States can adversely
affect the availability of public education resources to students who are United States citizens
or are aliens lawfully present in the United States, the State of Alabama determines that
there is a compelling need for the State Board of Education to accurately measure and assess
the population of students who are aliens not lawfully present in the United States, in order
to forecast and plan for any impact that the presence such population may have on publicly
funded education in this state. The State of Alabama further...
