Section 37-14-30 Declaration of findings and policy; relationship to 1984 act. 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. It has been determined 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 45-37A-461 Electric supplier service territories. (a) 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 in and around the City of Tarrant City, Alabama. Among its findings

with competition between two suppliers 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 in Tarrant City is not
in the public interest because of the adverse impact which such duplication has on environmental

Section 11-19-2 Purpose of chapter. Because of the great financial and economic loss,
as well as human suffering, caused by floods and flooding in this state and despite plans
and programs directly or indirectly affecting the control of flood waters and the reduction
of flooding, there also exists a clear and definite public need for a program to provide flood
insurance coverage in flood-prone areas of this state. It is the declared purpose of this

threatened by flood hazards; (3) Assisting in reducing damage caused by floods; and (4) Otherwise
improving the long-range management and use of flood-prone areas. (Acts 1971, 3rd Ex. Sess.,
