Section 20-2-210 Legislative findings. The Alabama Legislature hereby finds that the diversion,
abuse, and misuse of prescription medications classified as controlled substances under the
Alabama Uniform Controlled Substances Act constitutes a serious threat to the health and welfare
of the citizens of the State of Alabama. The Legislature further finds that establishment
of a controlled substances prescription database to monitor the prescribing and dispensing
of controlled substances will materially assist state regulators and practitioners authorized
to prescribe and dispense controlled substances in the prevention of diversion, abuse, and
misuse of controlled substances prescription medication through the provision of education
and information, early intervention, and prevention of diversion, and investigation and enforcement
of existing laws governing the use of controlled substances. (Act 2004-443, p. 781, §1.)...

Section 24-1A-41 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that the effects of the global
and national recession are now affecting Alabama's housing industry and adversely affecting
the state's economic development activity. The large number of homes on the market is causing
a reduction in housing starts, resulting in fewer construction jobs and lower tax collections
from the sale of building materials. In addition, the large number of existing homes on the
market is adversely affecting the states economic recovery. The Legislature desires to provide
a stimulus to provide a boost to the housing industry and to facilitate economic development
and industrial recruitment by creating a guarantee fund that would encourage investments in
new thirty-year, fixed-rate conventional mortgage loans through a program administered by
the Alabama Housing Finance Authority. The guarantee fund will reduce the investor's potential
for losses. (Act 2009-284, p. 487,§2.)...

Section 45-49A-82 Legislative findings; purpose. The Legislature of Alabama finds and declares
that the health, safety, and welfare of the people of the City of Prichard, in Mobile County,
Alabama, are enhanced by the continual encouragement, development, growth, and expansion of
private enterprise within this state. That there are certain economically depressed areas
in such city that need particular attention to create new jobs, stimulate economic activity,
and attract private sector investment rather than government subsidy to improve the quality
of life of their citizens. It is the purpose of this part to encourage new economic activity
in this depressed area by means of reduced taxes and the removal of unnecessary governmental
barriers to the production and earning of wages and profits and the creation of economic growth.
