22-30E-2
Section 22-30E-2 Legislative findings; purpose and intent of chapter; establishment of voluntary
assessment and/or cleanup program for properties with potential environmental contamination.
(a) The Legislature finds that rural and urban property in Alabama may have areas of actual
or perceived contamination at levels that may not be subject to assessment or cleanup under
applicable laws and regulations. The Legislature finds that this perception of contamination
discourages the purchase and productive use of otherwise usable properties. The Legislature
further finds that the voluntary assessment and/or cleanup 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...

Section 26-10D-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds all of the following: (1) Alabama
provides state licensed child placing services through various state, charitable, religious,
and private organizations. (2) Religious organizations, in particular, have a lengthy and

Section 11-47-14.1 Construction of port facilities by Class 1 municipalities; bonds and other
contributions. (a) Legislative findings. The Legislature of Alabama finds that the Tombigbee
Waterway will soon be completed, and the transportation opportunities afforded thereby must

25 miles of such municipality and may construct and maintain wharves and construct buildings
