Section 41-10-420 Legislative intent. The Legislature finds that the Real Estate Commission has acquired certain real property in Montgomery, Alabama, title to which is in the name of the State of Alabama, for the purpose of erecting a building to house the offices of the Real Estate Commission. The Real Estate Commission has also received authority from the Legislature to expend certain of its funds in the construction of such a facility. The Legislature further finds that the Real Estate Commission is unable to complete this building project without additional funding provided through temporary financing arrangements. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the State of Alabama and Real Estate Commission to establish a public corporation with the powers and authority necessary to construct and lease to the commission a facility adequate to serve the needs of the commission. (Acts 1990, No. 90-293, p. 396, §1.)...

Section 24-1A-41 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that the effects of the global and national recession are now affecting Alabama's housing industry and adversely affecting the state's economic development activity. The large number of homes on the market is causing a reduction in housing starts, resulting in fewer construction jobs and lower tax collections from the sale of building materials. In addition, the large number of existing homes on the market is adversely affecting the states economic recovery. The Legislature desires to provide a stimulus to provide a boost to the housing industry and to facilitate economic development and industrial recruitment by creating a guarantee fund that would encourage investments in new thirty-year, fixed-rate conventional mortgage loans through a program administered by the Alabama Housing Finance Authority. The guarantee fund will reduce the investor's potential for losses. (Act 2009-284, p. 487,§2.)...
