Section 41-10-621 Legislative findings and purpose. (a) The Legislature finds and declares
the following: (1) The State of Alabama has a great need from time to time to have access
to financing for economic development and industrial recruitment that does not involve improvements
to revenue-producing facilities. (2) It is desirable and in the public interest to establish
a state-level authority with the power to issue bonds for such general purposes. (3) The Alabama

in the near future new revenues from the settlement of certain litigation between the state

Section 16-68-1 (Effective July 1, 2020) Legislative findings. The Legislature makes the following
findings: (1) Article I, Section 4 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, recognizes that
all persons may speak, write, and publish their sentiments on all subjects, and that "no
law shall ever be passed to curtail or restrain the liberty of speech...." (2) Alabama's

of speech and expression. (3) The United States Supreme Court has called public universities
"peculiarly the marketplace of ideas," Healy v. James, 408 U.S. 169, 180 (1972),
where young adults learn to exercise those constitutional rights necessary to participate
in our system of government and to tolerate the exercise of those rights by others, and there
is "no room for the view that First Amendment protections should apply with less force
on college campuses than in the community at large." Healy, 408 U.S. at 180. (4) The
United...
