16-6C-1
Section 16-6C-1 Legislative findings. (a) Just as there is value in assigning grades that reflect
the performance of public school students in Alabama, the Legislature finds that there is
also value in assigning grades that reflect the performance of the public schools attended
by public school students in Alabama. The Legislature further finds that an easy to understand
school grading system would best serve the interests of the public as a whole, and specifically
the parents and guardians of public school students, by providing another transparent layer
of accountability for the public dollars allocated to elementary and secondary education in
the state. (b) The Legislature also finds that there is a need for a program to reward public
K-12 schools in Alabama that demonstrate high achievement. The Legislature further finds that
performance-based incentives and increased autonomy are commonplace in the private sector
and should be infused into the public sector as a reward for...

Section 11-5-30 Legislative findings; construction. (a) The Legislature hereby finds, determines,
and declares all of the following: (1) An unattended and sudden death is one of society's
most tragic events and should receive the appropriate caring, competent, and thorough attention
of all levels of government. (2) A suspicious, sudden, or violent death is very difficult
to investigate and to accurately determine the cause and manner of death for the death certificate.
(3) Medical examiners and coroners determine the cause of death and with other forensic scientists
and investigators determine the manner of death. (4) Death certificates issued on unattended,
sudden, and violent deaths greatly impact government spending decisions, the living loved
ones, and insurance decisions so that the accuracy of the death certificate is of great concern
to the Legislature. (5) There are currently no minimum standards of training for county coroners.
(6) Local coroners or non-physician death...

Section 11-88-41 Legislative findings and declarations; powers granted authorities by article
to be exercised only in resort areas and with the consent of county governing bodies. (a)
The Legislature hereby finds, determines, and declares that it is necessary and desirable
that authorities whose service area includes a resort area be authorized to exercise the powers
granted by this article, after proper action by a governing body or bodies, since the predominant
use of improvements in such resort areas is seasonal and service use charges may not provide
an adequate and feasible basis for financing such improvements. (b) No authority shall exercise
any of the powers granted in this article except in that part of its service area that is
a resort area and then only if the governing body of each county in which any part of its
service area is located has consented to the exercise of such powers, evidenced by the adoption
of a resolution, spread upon its minutes, naming the authority,...

13A-5-13
Section 13A-5-13 Crimes motivated by victim's race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity,
or physical or mental disability. (a) The Legislature finds and declares the following: (1)
It is the right of every person, regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity,
or physical or mental disability, to be secure and protected from threats of reasonable fear,
intimidation, harassment, and physical harm caused by activities of groups and individuals.
(2) It is not the intent, by enactment of this section, to interfere with the exercise of
rights protected by the Constitution of the State of Alabama or the United States. (3) The
intentional advocacy of unlawful acts by groups or individuals against other persons or groups
and bodily injury or death to persons is not constitutionally protected when violence or civil
disorder is imminent, and poses a threat to public order and safety, and such conduct should
be subjected to criminal sanctions. (b) The purpose of this...

16-16A-7
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...

Section 17-3-30.1 Disqualification of electors for felonies involving moral turpitude. (a)
This section shall be known and may be cited as the Felony Voter Disqualification Act. (b)(1)
The Legislature finds and declares that: a. Article VIII of the Constitution of Alabama of
1901, now appearing as Section 177 of Article VIII of the Official Recompilation of the Constitution
of Alabama of 1901, as amended, provides that Alabama citizens shall lose the right to vote
when convicted of a crime only if the conviction was for a felony involving moral turpitude.
b. Under general law, there is no comprehensive list of felonies that involve moral turpitude
which disqualify a person from exercising his or her right to vote. Neither individuals with
felony convictions nor election officials have a comprehensive, authoritative source for determining
if a felony conviction involves moral turpitude and is therefore a disqualifying felony. (2)
The purposes of this section are: a. To give full effect...

Section 41-10-44.8 Tax credits, job development fees and other incentives. (a) Upon the issuance
by the authority of its project obligations for the purpose of financing a project for an
approved company with respect to which the authority adopted a resolution accepting the project
prior to January 16, 1995, the approved company: (1) Shall receive a credit against the corporate
income tax levied by Section 40-18-31 that otherwise would be owed to the state in any year
by the approved company on its income generated by or arising out of the project, such credit
not to exceed the lesser of (i) the amount due in tax, or (ii) the amount paid by the approved
company pursuant to a financing agreement in the year for which the tax is due, corresponding
to debt service on the project obligations; and (2) May elect to withhold and retain the aggregate
job development fees described in paragraph (b) below, but only to the extent that debt service
payments under the financing agreement(s) exceed...

Section 45-40-250 Transfer of water from Tennessee River Basin. (a) This section shall apply
only in Lawrence County. (b) The Legislature of the State of Alabama finds the following:
(1) It is in the best interest of the State of Alabama and the people of Lawrence County to
protect the Tennessee River and its watershed to promote the beneficial purposes of maintaining
a clean drinking water supply, hydroelectric power generation, navigation, industry, agriculture,
environmental quality, and recreation. (2) The Tennessee River has been identified by the
people of Alabama and the nation as a unique resource lying in seven states and by Congress
through the establishment of a special authority known as the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA)
for the promotion of the best interests of the Tennessee Valley. (3) That it is in the best
interest of the people of the State of Alabama and Lawrence County to protect and preserve
the Tennessee River as set forth in this section in the absence of...

11-100-2
Section 11-100-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature hereby finds and determines that: (1)
The convention industry is a vital and beneficial industry for the State of Alabama and promotes
the health, welfare, progress, and physical and economic well-being of the people of this
state. (2) Adequate facilities are essential to the proper development of the meeting and
entertainment industries. Adequate convention facilities are often not self-supporting so
as to permit their financing with revenue bonds, but generate economic activity and stimulate
business and commerce in the affected locality, and throughout the state, through increased
demand for goods and services furnished by restaurants, hotels, places of entertainment, as
well as stores, shops and other establishments, and, as a consequence, they generate additional
state and local tax revenues. (3) It is in the interest of the state and its cities and counties,
for the state to assist any city, county, and entities or...

Section 2-6B-6 Availability of certain nonproprietary information as to National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination Systems permits. In order that the citizens of Alabama shall have the
opportunity to be as fully informed as practicable respecting the establishment hereafter
in this state of farm operations known as concentrated animal feeding operations, as defined
in Section 502(14) of the Federal Clean Water Act, and as described in Chapter 335-6-7 of
the rules promulgated by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management, the Legislature
finds and declares that it is the public policy of this state that appropriate nonproprietary
information respecting the pendency and issuance of national pollutant discharge elimination
systems general or individual permits in respect of such farm operations be available to the
citizens of Alabama, and that the Alabama Department of Environmental Management, in carrying
