Section 41-10-35 Legislative findings and intent. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
imposes a "state ceiling" upon the aggregate principal amount of "private activity
bonds" which may be issued in any calendar year by or on behalf of a state and its political
subdivisions and instrumentalities, and establishes a method of allocating the available state
ceiling within each state. Authority is granted by the Internal Revenue Code, however, to
the states to provide for a different formula for allocation of the state ceiling. The Legislature
has found and determined that the allocation method contained in the Internal Revenue Code
is ill-suited for the needs of the State of Alabama and that the provisions of this division
will result in a more equitable and efficient distribution of the state ceiling available
to the state and will therefore promote the economic and industrial development of the state.
It is the intent of the Legislature by the passage of this division to...

Section 6-5-155 Legislative findings and declarations. The Legislature finds and declares the
following: (1) There is a drug crisis in the State of Alabama which is plaguing our neighborhoods
and our housing and rental accommodations. (2) Drugs have caused an increase in crime and
violence and a deterioration in the habitability of housing and rental accommodations, as
well as diminished property values. (3) Currently there are inadequate incentives for property
owners to take a more active role in preventing the use of their property for the manufacture,
use, sale, storage, or distribution of drugs. (Acts 1996, No. 96-566, p. 849, ยง1.)...

Section 11-47-14.1 Construction of port facilities by Class 1 municipalities; bonds and other
contributions. (a) Legislative findings. The Legislature of Alabama finds that the Tombigbee
Waterway will soon be completed, and the transportation opportunities afforded thereby must
be fully utilized if Alabama is to benefit from economic growth and job development potential
afforded by this project, and that local governments need broader authorization to participate
in the development of river port facilities necessary to accomplish this purpose. (b) Municipalities
authorized to construct port facilities; limitations thereon. The council or other governing
body of any Class 1 municipality may alter and change the channel of any watercourse within
25 miles of such municipality and may construct and maintain wharves and construct buildings
and other improvements on and near wharves and wharf sites, within such municipality or within
25 miles of the limits thereof, and may collect wharfage...

Section 11-54-21 Legislative intent; construction of article generally. (a) It is the intent
of the Legislature by the passage of this article to authorize municipalities to acquire,
own, and lease and, in connection with any such acquisition, to enlarge, improve, and expand
projects for the purpose of promoting industry and trade and controlling, abating, or preventing
pollution (including preventing pollution which may be caused by the location, development,
or expansion of industry or commerce) by inducing manufacturing, industrial, commercial, and
research enterprises to locate in this state or to expand and enlarge existing enterprises
or to utilize pollution control facilities in order to control, abate, or prevent pollution
from present or proposed operations or by any combination of two or more thereof promoting
the use of agricultural products and natural resources of this state and promoting a sound
and proper balance in this state between agriculture, commerce, and industry....

Section 23-1-291 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that certain portions of the state
highway system provide access to state locales that are notable for their scenic, natural,
historic, recreational, cultural, and archaeological value and are therefore worthy of designations
as scenic byways in order to provide special consideration of their unique features and special
role in the highway system. The Legislature further finds that the public interest would be
served by the formation of a coordinated scenic byways program to enhance recreational, cultural,
and archaeological resources, encourage economic development through tourism, improve the
transportation system, and educate residents and visitors on the history, culture, and natural
beauty of this state. In order to implement this program, the Legislature has determined that
a two-tiered structure would best serve the governance of the Alabama Scenic Byways program.
The Legislature recognizes that the application of this...

Section 37-16-2 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature finds and declares the following:
(1) More advanced communication capabilities, broadband facilities, and services are needed
in many rural and underserved areas of the state. (2) Electric providers in those rural and
underserved areas are capable of providing infrastructure for such advanced communications
capabilities and providing, directly or indirectly, broadband facilities or services. (3)
The investment in and development of advanced communications capabilities for providing broadband
facilities and services are necessary to better serve the public in those rural and underserved
areas. (4) The continued lack of advanced communication capabilities, broadband facilities,
and services in rural and underserved areas deprives citizens residing in these areas from
access to opportunities such that the state needs to take action to correct and eliminate
these discrepancies. (5) It is the public policy of this state to encourage...

Section 11-49A-1 Legislative findings and purpose. The legislature has found and determined
and does hereby declare that in Class 3 municipalities the following conditions exist: (1)
That the constant growth of private vehicular traffic in such counties in which such municipalities
are located is placing excessive burdens upon the road systems and parking facilities, especially
in commercial and industrial districts and in areas of high population density; (2) That the
continued economic growth of such municipalities and the general health and welfare of the
citizens of such counties require the availability of public facilities for mass transportation;
and (3) That it is necessary and desirable and in the best interests of the citizens of such
municipalities that provisions be made for the establishment in such counties of public corporations
to provide public transportation service. The legislature does hereby further declare its
intention, by the passage of this chapter, to promote...
