Section 11-47-14.1 Construction of port facilities by Class 1 municipalities; bonds and other
contributions. (a) Legislative findings. The Legislature of Alabama finds that the Tombigbee
Waterway will soon be completed, and the transportation opportunities afforded thereby must
be fully utilized if Alabama is to benefit from economic growth and job development potential
afforded by this project, and that local governments need broader authorization to participate
in the development of river port facilities necessary to accomplish this purpose. (b) Municipalities
authorized to construct port facilities; limitations thereon. The council or other governing
body of any Class 1 municipality may alter and change the channel of any watercourse within
25 miles of such municipality and may construct and maintain wharves and construct buildings

40-13-80
Section 40-13-80 (Repealed effective August 1, 2019) Legislative findings. The Legislature
makes the following findings: (1) The Legislature understands the need to properly fund state
agencies in order to match federal funds for enforcement programs. (2) The Surface Mining
Commission is the delegated agency in this state authorized to enforce the federal Office
of Surface Mining (OSM) programs, with a 50 percent match required in order to access federal
funds. (3) Due to very limited General Fund monies available, along with numerous mining companies
going out of business over the last eight years which has reduced permit fees and other monies
paid to the Surface Mining Commission, there is a need for increased funding from other sources
in addition to permit fee increases. (Act 2017-369, §1.)...

38-15-2
Section 38-15-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that there is a substantial need
to protect children and youth from abuse and neglect by persons entrusted with their physical
custody, and from persons or organizations that advertise, hold themselves out, or lead others
to believe that they will provide them with health, therapeutic, rehabilitative, or disciplinary
services, and from persons employed or exercising authority over them, and who they depend
upon to provide the basic necessities of life. The Legislature further finds that abuse and
neglect often take the form of the withholding of the basic necessities of life, including
food, water, shelter, clothing, and health care through an affirmative act or omission. It
is the intent of the Legislature to implement a baseline of registration and regulation requirements
for religious, faith-based, or church nonprofit, other nonprofit, and for profit affiliated
youth residential facilities and institutions that have...

41-10-35
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...

(1) That the health, safety, and welfare of the people of this state require the provision
of certain utility services, including water and sewer services; (2) That it is necessary

25-14-2
Section 25-14-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds and declares the following: (1)
That employee leasing is a growing industry in the State of Alabama and that professional
employer organizations provide increased opportunities for employers to develop cost-effective
methods of satisfying their personnel requirements and providing employees with access to
certain employment benefits which might otherwise not be available to them. (2) The Legislature
deems it necessary, however, in the interest of the welfare of workers and employers to establish
standards for the operation, regulation, and registration of professional employer organizations
in Alabama to be administered by the Workers' Compensation Division of the Department of Labor,
and it is the intent of the Legislature that this be accomplished pursuant to the Alabama
Professional Employer Organization Registration Act. (3) That any allocation of the employer
duties and responsibilities pursuant to this chapter will...

41-17A-1
Section 41-17A-1 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature of Alabama makes the following findings
and statements: (1) Energy use associated with the operation of state motor vehicle fleets
exacerbates local air quality problems and results in greenhouse gas emissions that contribute
to global climate change. (2) Agencies and departments of state government have a significant
role to play in improving local air quality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by improving
the energy efficiency of their fleets and reducing emissions from fleet operations. (3) Improving
the energy efficiency of state fleets will result in a significant monetary savings in the
long term. (b) The Legislature expresses its intent as follows: (1) To express its power as
