Section 16-16A-7 Additional findings; bonds authorized; procedures. (a) The Legislature finds that the number of students attending the several school systems located in those areas of North Alabama that will be directly impacted by the 2005 BRAC and Subsequent BRAC Actions will collectively increase by an estimated 9,000 students. As a result, there will be a need for the construction of additional school facilities as well as the renovation of existing school facilities. The Legislature also finds that the 2005 BRAC and Subsequent BRAC Actions will have a positive impact on future receipts to the Education Trust Fund, as the significant population growth in North Alabama will increase sales, income, and other tax collections. Thus, it is an efficient use of state funds to allow such revenue growth to help pay for capital improvement costs associated with BRAC-related school construction. (b) The Alabama Public School and College Authority is hereby authorized to sell and issue its...

Section 36-29-20 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature finds that private employers have provided their employees with flexible employee benefit plans which provide a savings both to the employer and the employee, and that the State of Alabama, its departments and agencies, may provide the same tax-effective benefits to its employees. It is, therefore, the intent of the Legislature to provide for the establishment of a "cafeteria plan" or flexible employee benefit plan in compliance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, with every effort being used to utilize the existing resources of the state Comptroller to implement said plan in conjunction with the Flexible Employees Benefits Board. (Acts 1989, No. 89-644, p. 1272, §1.)...

Section 41-29-280 Legislative findings. The Legislature makes the following findings: (1) The Alabama Industrial Development and Training Institute, hereinafter AIDT, was established in fiscal year 1970-1971 as a contract program reporting to the State Board of Education through the Division of Vocational-Technical Education.

AIDT continued operating under the Department of Postsecondary Education when the Legislature established the department and position of Chancellor. AIDT has been continuously funded through an annual line item in the Education Trust Fund budget. (2) AIDT provides quality workforce development for the new and expanding businesses in the state and expands the opportunities of its...

Section 41-7A-41 Legislative findings. The following is hereby found and declared by the Legislature of Alabama: (1) Although Alabama is filled with attractive natural resources, a growing workforce, and other resources attractive to the entertainment industry, Alabama has not developed its potential in terms of attracting the entertainment industry to the state by offering production incentives for qualified productions not previously offered in Alabama. (2) Entertainment industry incentives offered by other states attract valuable projects to their states which stimulate local economies, use local manpower, offer other employment and entrepreneurial opportunities for state residents, and provide public awareness of the natural resources available in their states. (3) Because Alabama does not currently offer a viable incentive package to the industry, Alabama cannot effectively compete with other states for attracting industry projects and those projects locate elsewhere. (4) For...

Section 11-49B-1 Declaration of purpose and legislative findings. The Legislature finds that it is estimated that by the year 2040, 40 percent of the economy of this nation, both people and jobs, will be located in a 14-state region between Texas and Virginia. Alabama, and in particular the Class 1 municipality and surrounding counties, will be in the very center of this geographic spread. This center of the growth pattern when combined with our educational facilities, quality of life, abundance of natural and cultural resources, steady economic growth, range of housing options, quality health care, climate, affordability, and accessibility provides this region with an unprecedented opportunity to attract new business both service based and manufacturing. It, therefore, is the intent of this chapter to take advantage of this growth opportunity by providing for a unified, coordinated, centrally orchestrated, genuinely regional system of public transportation embracing services in the...
