Section 9-13-271 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the
application of prescribed burning is a landowner property right and a land management tool
that benefits the safety of the public, the environment, the natural resources, and the economy
of Alabama. Therefore, the Legislature finds that: (1) Prescribed burning reduces naturally
occurring vegetative fuels within wildland areas. The reduction of the fuel load reduces the
risk and severity of major catastrophic wildfire, thereby reducing the threat of loss of life
and property, particularly in urbanizing areas. (2) Many of Alabama's natural communities
require periodic fire for maintenance of their ecological integrity. Prescribed burning is
essential to the perpetuation, restoration, and management of many plant and animal communities.
Significant loss of the state's biological diversity will occur if fire is excluded from fire-dependent
ecosystems. (3) Forest lands constitute significant...

Section 9-8A-2 Legislative findings and declaration of purpose. It is hereby found and declared
to be the policy of the state to provide for the restoration and conservation of the soil
resources of this state, to provide for the improvement of water used in agriculture, and
for the control and prevention of soil erosion and for the prevention of floodwater and sediment
damages, and for the establishment or improvement of stands of forest trees, all of which
will preserve natural resources, control floods, prevent impairment of dams and reservoirs,
preserve wildlife, protect the tax base, protect public lands and promote the health, safety
and public welfare of the citizens of the state. It is further declared that at the present
time, due to cutbacks in federal soil conservation and reforestation programs there exists
an inadequate supply of funds in the state to enable the financing of much needed soil conservation,
agricultural water quality and forestry improvement programs; that...

Section 16-61C-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature of the State of Alabama hereby finds:
(1) That the Alabama Science in Motion Program (the ASIM Program) of six pilot networks, created
by Act No. 94-673, to augment the science curriculum of the public schools, have demonstrated
efficacy as a model in advancing the state's efforts towards the following goals and directives
of the "Alabama Education Improvement Act of 1991." (2) That by the year 2000, Alabama
students should be among the country's leaders in mathematics and science achievement and
that special attention be given to science in the Alabama Course of Study. (3) That the State
Board of Education provide "a plan for the cooperative development and execution of research,
demonstration, evaluation and dissemination of activities related to the effective use of
technologies in teaching and learning"; and that these activities be carried out in cooperation
with the existing Alabama Regional Inservice Centers and local school...

Section 16-6D-3 Legislative findings and intent. (a) The Legislature finds and declares all
of the following: (1) To further the goals of public education throughout the state, each
school system should be able to have maximum possible flexibility to meet the needs of students
and the communities within its jurisdiction. (2) There is a critical need for innovative models
of public education that are tailored to the unique circumstances and needs of the students
in all schools and communities, and especially in schools and communities that are struggling
to improve academic outcomes and close the achievement gap. (3) To better serve students and
better use available resources, local boards of education, local school systems, and parents
need the ability to explore flexible alternatives in an effort to be more efficient and effective
in providing operational and programmatic services. (b) Therefore, it is the intent of the
Legislature to do all of the following: (1) Allow school systems...

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...

Section 5-18-2 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent. (a) The Legislature
finds as facts and determines that: (1) There exists among citizens of this state a widespread
demand for small loans. The scope and intensity of this demand have been increased progressively
by many social and economic forces; (2) The expense of making and collecting small loans,
which are usually made on comparatively unsubstantial security to wage earners, salaried employees
and other persons of relatively low incomes, is necessarily high in relation to the amounts
lent; (3) Such loans cannot be made profitably under the limitations imposed by existing laws
relating to interest and usury. These limitations have tended to exclude lawful enterprises
from the small loan field. Since the demand for small loans cannot be legislated out of existence,
many small borrowers have been left to the mercy of those willing to bear the opprobrium and
risk the penalties of usury for a large profit; (4)...
