40-6A-1
Section 40-6A-1 Legislative intent. The Legislature recognizes the necessity of an equitable,
fair, and efficiently administered ad valorem tax program to the revenue producing functions
of government, both state and local, and it further recognizes that since the implementation
of statewide reappraisal of property and the equalization of ad valorem taxes in this state,
the complexity and burden on the officials charged with assessing and collecting such taxes
has greatly increased. Likewise, great disparity has developed among the various counties
of this state in both the adequacy of compensation of such officials and the distribution
of the cost of administering the ad valorem tax program among the various agencies and funds
receiving such taxes. Therefore, in order to secure the services of competent officials in
all counties of this state to administer the ad valorem tax program and to fairly distribute
the burden of funding the costs of such program, it is the intent of this...

38-9-3
Section 38-9-3 Legislative findings and intent. The legislature recognizes that there are many
adult citizens of the state who, because of the infirmities of age, disabilities or like incapacities,
are in need of protective services. Such services should, to the maximum degree of feasibility,
allow the individual the same rights as other citizens, and at the same time protect the individual
from exploitation, neglect, abuse and degrading treatment. This chapter is designed to establish
those services and assure their availability to all persons when in need of them, and to place
the least possible restriction on personal liberty and exercise of constitutional rights consistent
with due process and protection from abuse, exploitation and neglect. (Acts 1977, No. 780,
p. 1340, §1.)...

as follows: (1) As the basis for enacting Act No. 84-131, the Legislature found and determined
that the conduct within Class 1 municipalities in the state of horse racing events and pari-mutuel
wagering thereon will generate additional revenues for governmental and charitable purposes,
provide additional jobs for the residents of the state and benefit the businesses related

of the state; it is desirable to permit the qualified voters of any Class 1 municipality to
determine through referendum whether horse racing and pari-mutuel wagering thereon will be
permitted in such municipality; and for each Class 1 municipality in which horse racing is

Section 41-10-540 Legislative findings; construction. The Legislature finds and declares the
following: That the State of Alabama, acting in its own name and through various public corporations,
has made substantial financial contractual commitments for incentives to industries agreeing
to locate or expand their operations in Alabama; that the creation of a state-level agency
with power to fund the commitments is desirable and in the public interest; that by the passage
of this division it is the intention to provide for the creation of Alabama Incentives Financing
Authority with broad powers to meet existing commitments made by the state to industries committing
to locate or expand in the state; and that it is necessary and in the public interest that
the authority pledge for payment of its obligations the funds appropriated to the authority
in order to enable it to fund existing commitments and to carry out functions that are essential
to the public welfare. This division shall be...

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, §1.)...

Section 2-19-120 Legislative findings and purpose. The Legislature has found and determined
and does hereby declare that the boll weevil is a public nuisance, a pest and a menace to
the cotton industry. Due to the interstate nature of boll weevil infestation, it is necessary
to secure the cooperation of cotton growers, and other state and federal governments to carry
out a program of boll weevil suppression or eradication. The purpose of this article is to
secure the suppression or eradication of the boll weevil and to provide for certification
of a cotton grower's organization to cooperate with state and federal agencies in the administration
of cost-sharing programs for the suppression or eradication of the boll weevil. This article
should be liberally construed to achieve these above purposes. (Acts 1984, 1st Ex. Sess.,
No. 84-786, p. 170, §1.)...

22-22B-1
Section 22-22B-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that: (1) The state faces a looming
crisis in solid waste management related to the ever-increasing volumes of waste intended
for disposal; (2) The solid wastes presently disposed of in the state contain substantial
volumes of materials which are capable of recovery and reuse if recycling programs are developed
and implemented within the state; (3) The failure to recover and recycle materials from solid
waste results in the unnecessary waste and depletion of natural resources; (4) The state government,
through its departments and agencies, generates substantial amounts of solid wastes which
could be recovered through a coordinated recycling program; (5) A recycling program by state
departments and agencies would serve to demonstrate to local governments and private businesses
the practical benefits of and proper techniques for implementing such a program; and (6) An
effective recycling program within state government should...

9-13-271
Section 9-13-271 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the
application of prescribed burning is a landowner property right and a land management tool
that benefits the safety of the public, the environment, the natural resources, and the economy
of Alabama. Therefore, the Legislature finds that: (1) Prescribed burning reduces naturally
occurring vegetative fuels within wildland areas. The reduction of the fuel load reduces the
risk and severity of major catastrophic wildfire, thereby reducing the threat of loss of life
and property, particularly in urbanizing areas. (2) Many of Alabama's natural communities
require periodic fire for maintenance of their ecological integrity. Prescribed burning is
essential to the perpetuation, restoration, and management of many plant and animal communities.
Significant loss of the state's biological diversity will occur if fire is excluded from fire-dependent
ecosystems. (3) Forest lands constitute significant...

Section 16-16-14.2 Legislative intent. Act 2010-731 is adopted by the Legislature of the State
of Alabama to amend certain provisions of the Code of Alabama 1975 and certain prior acts
of the Legislature of Alabama and to make other provisions in a manner intended to permit
the Alabama Public School and College Authority (the authority) to issue bonds, notes, or
other debt obligations under the provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
of 2009 or other governmental program providing cost-savings or conditions acceptable to the
authority. The issuance of such bonds, notes, or other debt obligations by the authority for
the benefit of local boards of education in the state will provide financing for such local
boards on favorable terms and will thereby serve an essential need of the citizens of the
state. Bonds of the authority in the form of bonds, notes, or other debt obligations under
the provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 or other...

22-23B-1
Section 22-23B-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the following
facts are true and correct: The 104th Congress of the United States of America has recently
enacted into law amendments to Public Law 104-182 (the "federal act") commonly known
as the "Safe Drinking Water Act;" Congress, in the federal act, has determined that
the federal government is committed to maintaining and improving its partnership with the
states in the administration and implementation of the federal act; Congress has, in the federal
act, determined that the requirements of the federal act with respect to safe drinking water
will impose new requirements that may exceed the financial and technical capacity of many
public water systems; The federal act authorizes state revolving loan funds and authorizes
the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to offer to enter into agreements
with eligible states to make capitalization grants to further the health protection...
