Section 11-92B-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature makes the following findings: (1) That
the economic development of property comprising a former military installation is of vital
importance to the life, health, and welfare of the citizens of local cities and counties affected
by the base closure and the state. (2) That it is desirable to allow for the establishment
of local reuse authorities capable of managing and promoting the reuse and economic development
of military installations after the closure of the military installations. (3) That an Alabama
court has ruled that a city and county lack legislative authority to join in any entity for
the purposes provided for in this chapter. The Legislature finds that the purpose of this
chapter is to provide such authority. (4) That in consideration of the critical need for valid
and fully authorized public entities, with community involvement and notice, to develop closed
military installations, and perform environmental restoration...

Section 37-14-1 Legislative declarations, findings, etc. The Legislature of the State of Alabama
has investigated the economic, financial and environmental impact associated with the potential
for duplication of electric distribution facilities used for the furnishing of retail electric
service. Among its findings are the conclusion that with respect to retail electric sales,
the benefit normally associated with competition between two or more entities for customers
is outweighed by the tremendous cost burden which must be borne by such customers associated
with the maintenance of two or more duplicate sets of facilities. It is the further finding
of the legislature that the existence of duplicate facilities for the furnishing of electricity
at retail is not in the public interest because of the adverse impact which such duplication
has on environmental and aesthetic values and on safety. It is therefore declared that the
policy of the State of Alabama is to ensure effective,...

Section 23-1-291 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that certain portions of the state
highway system provide access to state locales that are notable for their scenic, natural,
historic, recreational, cultural, and archaeological value and are therefore worthy of designations
as scenic byways in order to provide special consideration of their unique features and special
role in the highway system. The Legislature further finds that the public interest would be
served by the formation of a coordinated scenic byways program to enhance recreational, cultural,
and archaeological resources, encourage economic development through tourism, improve the
transportation system, and educate residents and visitors on the history, culture, and natural
beauty of this state. In order to implement this program, the Legislature has determined that
a two-tiered structure would best serve the governance of the Alabama Scenic Byways program.
The Legislature recognizes that the application of this...

Section 22-27-40 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that: (1) The state, its subdivisions
and the nation face an emerging crisis in solid waste management; (2) Proper waste management
is an increasingly complex issue involving the need for reducing the volumes of waste requiring
disposal, properly managing wastes to reduce the likelihood of both short-term and long-term
threat to human health and the environment, and assuring that adequate, environmentally secure,
waste management and disposal facilities will be available at reasonable costs to accommodate
wastes generated in the state; (3) Provision for necessary systems, facilities, technology
and services for solid waste management and resource recovery is a matter of important public
interest and concern, and action taken in this regard will be for a public purpose and will
benefit the public welfare; (4) Solid waste management problems are potentially statewide
in scope and necessitate state and local action through the...

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

Section 11-65-1 Legislative declarations and findings. The Legislature hereby finds and declares
as follows: (1) As the basis for enacting Act No. 84-131, the Legislature found and determined
that the conduct within Class 1 municipalities in the state of horse racing events and pari-mutuel
wagering thereon will generate additional revenues for governmental and charitable purposes,
provide additional jobs for the residents of the state and benefit the businesses related
to tourism and recreation within any such municipality and throughout the surrounding areas
of the state; it is desirable to permit the qualified voters of any Class 1 municipality to
determine through referendum whether horse racing and pari-mutuel wagering thereon will be

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 11-99-1 Legislative findings and declarations. (a) Act 2013-51 shall be known and may
be cited as the Major 21st Century Manufacturing Zone Act. (b)(1) It is hereby found and declared
that there exist in municipalities and counties of the state blighted or economically distressed
areas which constitute a serious and growing problem, injurious to the public health, safety,
morals, and welfare of the residents of the state; that the existence of such areas contributes
substantially and increasingly to the spread of disease and crime, constitutes an economic
and social liability imposing onerous burdens which decrease the tax base and reduce tax revenues,
substantially impairs or arrests sound growth, retards the provision of housing accommodations,
aggravates traffic problems, and substantially hampers the elimination of traffic hazards
and the improvement of traffic facilities; and that the prevention and elimination of slums
and blighted areas and economically distressed areas...
