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

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
