Section 41-18-1 Text. Article I. Findings and Purposes. (a) The party states find that the

Section 16-60-82 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent. The Legislature hereby
makes the following findings of fact and declares its intent to be as follows: The number
of students enrolled in trade schools and colleges supported wholly or in part by the state
has increased greatly during recent years. Further increases in enrollment are anticipated
because of the increased rate of births, the increased need for skilled workers and other
factors. In order to meet these needs and to provide residents of this state with the opportunity
to receive adequate instruction in the arts and sciences and in useful skills and trades,
it is imperative that junior colleges and additional trade schools be constructed, equipped
and operated. The tax revenues and other funds currently available for trade schools and junior
colleges are not sufficient to permit immediate outlays of the large amounts of capital necessary
for such construction and equipment and at the same time to permit...

Section 41-10-720 Legislative findings. The Legislature makes the following findings: (1) At
any given time, the level of activity in our construction industry is a primary yardstick
for measuring the overall economic health of this country and this state, and that the success
and stability of the building, manufacturing, and commercial businesses are dependent upon
a sufficient supply of skilled artisans and craft persons who can produce quality products
that inspire public confidence. The State of Alabama and the nation has a great need for a
program that provides for the recruitment of, and training programs and opportunities for,
new construction craft trade workers. It is desirable and in the public interest to establish
a public authority at the state level to create and implement such a program. (2) The passage
of a federal economic stimulus package provides substantial funding for significant new highway,
road, bridge, and public infrastructure projects, and the Legislature...

Section 11-5-30 Legislative findings; construction. (a) The Legislature hereby finds, determines,
and declares all of the following: (1) An unattended and sudden death is one of society's
