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 41-10-21 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent; construction of article.
The Legislature hereby makes the following findings of fact and declares its intent to be
as follows: In recent years changes have taken place in the economy of this state which have
had a far-reaching effect on the welfare of its citizens. The agrarian economy which once
prevailed in this state and provided the principal means of livelihood for most of the citizens
of the state has proven inadequate to provide employment for the state's growing population.
The advent of mechanized and scientific farming methods has reduced greatly the number of
persons required to obtain increased yields of agricultural products from land under cultivation.
There has been a correspondingly greater dependence upon industrial development as the bulwark
of the economy of this state. It is appropriate and necessary that measures be taken to secure
to the citizens of this state the benefits of a strengthened...
