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.)...

Section 11-92A-2 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent; construction of article. (a) The Legislature hereby makes the following findings of fact and declares its intent to be as follows: In recent years changes have taken place in the economy of the state that have had a far-reaching effect on the welfare of its citizens. The agrarian economy that once prevailed in the state and provided the principal means of livelihood for most of its citizens has proven inadequate to provide employment for the state's growing population. The advent of mechanized and scientific farming methods has reduced greatly the number of persons required to obtain increased yields of agricultural products from land under cultivation. There has been a correspondingly greater dependency upon industrial development as the bulwark of the economy of the state. It is therefore appropriate and necessary that measures be taken to secure to the citizens of the state the benefits of a strengthening...
