Section 35-15-20 Legislative intent. It is hereby declared that there is a need for outdoor
recreational areas in this state which are open for public use and enjoyment; that the use
and maintenance of these areas will provide beauty and openness for the benefit of the public
and also assist in preserving the health, safety, and welfare of the population; that it is
in the public interest to encourage owners of land to make such areas available to the public
for non-commercial recreational purposes by limiting such owners' liability towards persons
entering thereon for such purposes; that such limitation on liability would encourage owners
of land to allow non-commercial public recreational use of land which would not otherwise
be open to the public, thereby reducing state expenditures needed to provide such areas. (Acts
1981, No. 81-825, p. 1468, §1.)...

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...
