Section 40-9B-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature recognizes the importance of industrial development to the well being of the people of the state. The Legislature also recognizes that industries are attracted by a number of factors, including natural resources, a well-trained workforce, good roads, and excellent education. The Legislature also recognizes that in some cases additional incentives are required to succeed in attracting new industries and encouraging existing industries to expand and therefore intends to continue to allow county and municipal governments and certain public corporations to provide substantial tax incentives. (Acts 1992, No. 92-599, p. 1239, §2.)...

Section 41-7A-41 Legislative findings. The following is hereby found and declared by the Legislature of Alabama: (1) Although Alabama is filled with attractive natural resources, a growing workforce, and other resources attractive to the entertainment industry, Alabama has not developed its potential in terms of attracting the entertainment industry to the state by offering production incentives for qualified productions not previously offered in Alabama. (2) Entertainment industry incentives offered by other states attract valuable projects to their states which stimulate local economies, use local manpower, offer other employment and entrepreneurial opportunities for state residents, and provide public awareness of the natural resources available in their states. (3) Because Alabama does not currently offer a viable incentive package to the industry, Alabama cannot effectively compete with other states for attracting industry projects and those projects locate elsewhere. (4) For...

Section 11-92A-2 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent; construction of article. (a) 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 the state that have had a far-reaching effect on the welfare of its citizens. The agrarian economy that once prevailed in the state and provided the principal means of livelihood for most of its citizens 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 dependency upon industrial development as the bulwark of the economy of the state. It is therefore appropriate and necessary that measures be taken to secure to the citizens of the state the benefits of a strengthening...

Section 31-12A-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature recognizes the importance of active military personnel, veterans, and military facilities to the well-being, safety, and economic development of the State of Alabama. The Legislature further recognizes and finds that discharged service members leave the military with documented training and experience that can prepare them for civilian employment; however, this documentation is not always able to result in qualifying them for licenses required for their occupation or providing them with academic credit. By providing for expedited licensure and increased academic credit recognition for a service member's military training and experience, the state can help promote the employment of veterans. (Act 2013-350, p. 1255, §1.)...
