and statements: (1) Energy use associated with the operation of state motor vehicle fleets
exacerbates local air quality problems and results in greenhouse gas emissions that contribute

11-53B-1
Section 11-53B-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds all of the following: (1) It is
estimated that within the municipalities of the state, there exist several thousand parcels
of real property that due to poor design, obsolescence, or neglect, have become unsafe to
the extent of becoming public nuisances. Much of this property is vacant or in a state of
disrepair and is causing or may cause a blight or blighting influence on the city and the
neighborhoods in which the property is located. Such property constitutes a threat to the
health, safety, and welfare to the citizens of the state and is an impediment to economic
development within the municipality. This threat can be minimized if an incorporated municipality
is authorized to repair the affected structures and is able to recover the cost of the repairs.
In addition, where the municipality has undertaken the demolition of the structures and has
taken a lien on the real property for the cost of the demolition, there has not...

applicable only to the acquisition of real property owned and occupied by the owner as a residence
by any state agency for use in projects or programs in which federal or state funds are used;
except that for the purposes of this chapter, federal guarantees or insurance shall not be

(b) The Legislature further declares the following: (1) The purpose of this chapter is to
establish a uniform policy for the fair and equitable treatment of persons displaced from
their residences as a result of programs or projects involving the acquisition of real property
by any state agency. In order that the persons shall not suffer disproportionate injuries
as a result of programs designed for the benefit of the public as a whole,...

41-10-420
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.)...

41-10-621
Section 41-10-621 Legislative findings and purpose. (a) The Legislature finds and declares
the following: (1) The State of Alabama has a great need from time to time to have access
to financing for economic development and industrial recruitment that does not involve improvements
to revenue-producing facilities. (2) It is desirable and in the public interest to establish
a state-level authority with the power to issue bonds for such general purposes. (3) The Alabama
Supreme Court has held, in effect, that only when the debt of a public corporation is payable
out of a new revenue source will such debt not be considered a debt of the state in contravention
of Section 213 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901; the State of Alabama expects to receive
in the near future new revenues from the settlement of certain litigation between the state
and the tobacco industry. (4) By the passage of this division, it is the intention of the
Legislature to: a. Provide for the creation of a special...

5-26-2
Section 5-26-2 Legislative findings. The activities of mortgage loan originators and the origination
or offering of financing for residential real property have a direct, valuable, and immediate
impact upon Alabama's consumers, Alabama's economy, the neighborhoods and communities of Alabama,
and the housing and real estate industry. The Legislature finds that accessibility to mortgage
credit is vital to the state's citizens. The Legislature also finds that it is essential for
the protection of the citizens of Alabama and the stability of Alabama's economy that reasonable
standards for licensing and regulation of the business practices of mortgage loan originators
be imposed. Therefore the Legislature establishes within this chapter: (a) SYSTEM OF SUPERVISION
AND ENFORCEMENT. An effective system of supervision and enforcement of the mortgage lending
industry, including: (i) The authority to issue licenses to conduct business under this chapter,
including the authority to write rules or...

22-30F-2
Section 22-30F-2 Legislative findings; purpose and intent of chapter; establishment of revolving
loan program for voluntary remediation of environmentally contaminated areas. (a) The Legislature
finds that rural and urban property in Alabama may have areas of contamination which may be
addressed via the Alabama Land Recycling and Economic Redevelopment Act, Sections 22-30E-1
through 22-30E-13. The Legislature further finds that encouraging the voluntary remediation
and redevelopment of such properties is in the public interest. (b) The Legislature finds
that industries and developers often give preference to previously unused greenfield sites
over previously used property due largely to concerns over the financial and environmental
liabilities which may be incurred in acquiring such previously used property for reuse and
redevelopment. The Legislature further finds that the appropriate reuse and redevelopment
of properties which are contaminated, or perceived to be contaminated is in...

Section 34-8B-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature hereby finds and declares that it is
the policy of the state to promote the skill, art, and practice of court reporting in order
to assure that court reporters possess the necessary skills and qualifications and that a
board be established to prescribe the qualifications of court reporters and to issue licenses
to persons who demonstrate their ability and fitness for the licenses. This chapter is intended
to establish and maintain a standard of competency for individuals engaged in the practice
of court reporting and for the protection of the public, in general, and for the litigants
whose rights to personal freedom and property are affected by the competency of court reporters.
The examination, licensing, and supervision of the conduct and proficiency of court reporters
are integrally related to the effective, impartial, and prompt operation of the judicial system
of the State of Alabama. (Act 2006-200, p. 289, §1.)...
