Section 37-16-2 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature finds and declares the following:
(1) More advanced communication capabilities, broadband facilities, and services are needed
in many rural and underserved areas of the state. (2) Electric providers in those rural and
underserved areas are capable of providing infrastructure for such advanced communications
capabilities and providing, directly or indirectly, broadband facilities or services. (3)

facilities and services are necessary to better serve the public in those rural and underserved

and services in rural and underserved areas deprives citizens residing in these areas from
access to opportunities such that the state needs to take action to correct and eliminate
these discrepancies. (5) It is the public policy of this state to encourage...

Section 41-7A-41 Legislative findings. The following is hereby found and declared by the Legislature
of Alabama: (1) Although Alabama is filled with attractive natural resources, a growing workforce,
and other resources attractive to the entertainment industry, Alabama has not developed its
potential in terms of attracting the entertainment industry to the state by offering production
incentives for qualified productions not previously offered in Alabama. (2) Entertainment
industry incentives offered by other states attract valuable projects to their states which
stimulate local economies, use local manpower, offer other employment and entrepreneurial
opportunities for state residents, and provide public awareness of the natural resources available
in their states. (3) Because Alabama does not currently offer a viable incentive package to
the industry, Alabama cannot effectively compete with other states for attracting industry
projects and those projects locate elsewhere. (4) For...

findings of facts and declaration of intent hereinafter set forth in this section. The construction
