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...

Section 41-4-350 Legislative findings; purpose. (a) The Legislature of Alabama hereby finds
and determines that the responsible stewardship of its state-owned and leased real property
is a proper governmental function of the State of Alabama. The Legislature finds that costs
for maintenance, construction, and leasing of real property in the state government comprise
a significant portion of available resources. The Legislature also finds that as one of the
largest owners and operators of buildings in Alabama, the state is a major consumer of energy.
It is therefore the intent of Act 2015-435 to establish centralized management of real property
through leasing administration, facilities maintenance and management, and construction management
that consists of expanded duties in existing divisions, as well as newly established divisions,
within the Department of Finance. In establishing this centralization, it is further the intent
of the Legislature to establish comprehensive real...

45-49-21.20
Section 45-49-21.20 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature is cognizant of Opinion of the
Justices No. 376, issued April 9, 2002, which states that a local bill for Washington County
"purporting to allow by local law the creation of a traffic in alcohol that does not
presently exist in smaller municipalities in Washington County, does not fit within the ambit
of the last paragraph of Section 104 permitting the Legislature to pass local laws regulating
or prohibiting such traffic." The effect of this Opinion of the Justices is to greatly
limit situations in which local laws may be enacted regarding alcoholic beverages. This opinion,
in part, was based upon a determination that, "Generally, 'regulate' implies the exercise
of control over something that already exists." While respecting the constitutional authority
granted to the Alabama Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, this
body disagrees with the conclusion reached by the court concerning Section 104....

Section 16-44A-35 Legislative findings; designation and dedication as Veterans Living Legacy.
(a) The Legislature of Alabama finds and declares all of the following: (1) That pursuant
to Section 16-44A-31, a statewide extended classroom for education in critical academic areas
of citizenship, civics, American history, and government is now operational as "the American
Village" under the auspices of the Citizenship Trust, a public education corporation.
(2) The nationally pioneering educational program serves students statewide and also school
groups from other states. The United States Congress has provided support of the American
Village as a national model and as an innovative civic education initiative that provides
students with a better understanding of the United States Constitution and the historical
and civic foundation of American self-government. (3) Recent studies indicate that many students
have only a superficial knowledge and lack deeper understanding of the foundations...
