45-41A-41.01
Section 45-41A-41.01 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds and declares the following:
(1) Accident data establishes that vehicles running red lights have been and are a dangerous
problem in Opelika, Alabama. (2) Studies have found that automated traffic camera enforcement
in a municipal area is a highly accurate method for detecting red light violations and is
very effective in reducing the number of red light violations and decreasing the number of
traffic accidents, deaths, and injuries. (3) Current Alabama law provides that failing to
stop and remain stopped at a traffic-control signal which is emitting a steady red signal
is a criminal misdemeanor. Under Alabama law one who commits such a misdemeanor is subject
to prosecution only if the misdemeanor was witnessed by either a duly empowered police officer
or other witness who makes a verified complaint to a sworn magistrate. (4) Many jurisdictions
have adopted laws that allow use of automated photographic traffic enforcement,...

Section 45-49-20 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that nudity, sexual conduct, and
the depiction or simulation thereof in conjunction with the furnishing of alcoholic beverages
in public places is contrary to the safety, health, and morals of the inhabitants of Mobile
County, and is desirous of prohibiting such conduct. This part is therefore enacted pursuant
to the authority granted in Article IV, Section 104 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901,
that allows local legislation to regulate or prohibit alcoholic beverage traffic and as otherwise
granted in the Constitution of Alabama of 1901. (Act 97-176, p. 265, § 1.)...

45-49-21.20
Section 45-49-21.20 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature is cognizant of Opinion of the
Justices No. 376, issued April 9, 2002, which states that a local bill for Washington County
"purporting to allow by local law the creation of a traffic in alcohol that does not
presently exist in smaller municipalities in Washington County, does not fit within the ambit
of the last paragraph of Section 104 permitting the Legislature to pass local laws regulating
or prohibiting such traffic." The effect of this Opinion of the Justices is to greatly
limit situations in which local laws may be enacted regarding alcoholic beverages. This opinion,
in part, was based upon a determination that, "Generally, 'regulate' implies the exercise
of control over something that already exists." While respecting the constitutional authority
granted to the Alabama Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, this
body disagrees with the conclusion reached by the court concerning Section 104....
