Section 33-17-2 Legislative intent; construction of chapter. The Legislature hereby makes the findings of facts and declaration of intent hereinafter set forth in this section. The construction of a navigable waterway between Demopolis, Alabama and the Tennessee River, utilizing the channel of the Tombigbee River, would provide a new transportation route of great importance and would stimulate the development of commerce, agriculture and industry in many sections of the state. Local flooding along the tributary streams of the Tombigbee River occurs frequently in the growing and harvesting season and causes considerable damage to agriculture in the affected sections of the state. Improvements in the channels of the tributary streams will eliminate much of the damage caused by flooding and will also permit improved farming practices and better land use.

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...
