Section 41-10-621 Legislative findings and purpose. (a) The Legislature finds and declares the following: (1) The State of Alabama has a great need from time to time to have access to financing for economic development and industrial recruitment that does not involve improvements to revenue-producing facilities. (2) It is desirable and in the public interest to establish a state-level authority with the power to issue bonds for such general purposes. (3) The Alabama Supreme Court has held, in effect, that only when the debt of a public corporation is payable out of a new revenue source will such debt not be considered a debt of the state in contravention of Section 213 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901; the State of Alabama expects to receive in the near future new revenues from the settlement of certain litigation between the state and the tobacco industry. (4) By the passage of this division, it is the intention of the Legislature to: a. Provide for the creation of a special...

Section 2-6-71 Declaration of purpose and legislative findings. The Legislature has found and determined and does hereby declare that in certain areas of this state, there are inadequate market facilities available to Alabama farmers for the efficient handling and sale of agricultural and agriculture related products. The Legislature has also found and determined, and does hereby declare that the coliseum is in dire need of repair and is in such poor condition as to limit its use by the public. It is the intent of the Legislature, by the passage of this article, to authorize the incorporation of a public corporation as an instrumentality of the state for the purpose of borrowing funds to finance the construction of an adequate market facility and the renovation of the coliseum and to vest said corporation with all powers, rights, privileges and titles that may be necessary to accomplish said purposes. This article shall be liberally construed in conformity with said intent. (Acts 1984,...

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. It is the intention of the Legislature by the passage of this chapter to implement the provisions of Amendment No. 270 of the...

Section 16-16-2 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent; liberal construction of chapter. The Legislature hereby makes the findings of fact and declaration of intent hereinafter set forth in this section. The great increase during recent years in the number of students enrolled in the public schools and in other educational institutions in the state that are supported wholly or in part by the state, the anticipated further increase in the enrollment of students in such schools and educational institutions resulting from the greatly increased birth rate and other factors, the increased enrollment in other public institutions in the state and the need to supply additional educational facilities at those other public institutions for the purpose of maintaining and further developing educational programs for the inmates of those institutions have made it imperative that buildings and other facilities for educational purposes be constructed and equipped in all parts of the...

Section 16-16A-7 Additional findings; bonds authorized; procedures. (a) The Legislature finds that the number of students attending the several school systems located in those areas of North Alabama that will be directly impacted by the 2005 BRAC and Subsequent BRAC Actions will collectively increase by an estimated 9,000 students. As a result, there will be a need for the construction of additional school facilities as well as the renovation of existing school facilities. The Legislature also finds that the 2005 BRAC and Subsequent BRAC Actions will have a positive impact on future receipts to the Education Trust Fund, as the significant population growth in North Alabama will increase sales, income, and other tax collections. Thus, it is an efficient use of state funds to allow such revenue growth to help pay for capital improvement costs associated with BRAC-related school construction. (b) The Alabama Public School and College Authority is hereby authorized to sell and issue its...
