Section 24-1A-41 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that the effects of the global
and national recession are now affecting Alabama's housing industry and adversely affecting
the state's economic development activity. The large number of homes on the market is causing
a reduction in housing starts, resulting in fewer construction jobs and lower tax collections
from the sale of building materials. In addition, the large number of existing homes on the
market is adversely affecting the states economic recovery. The Legislature desires to provide
a stimulus to provide a boost to the housing industry and to facilitate economic development
and industrial recruitment by creating a guarantee fund that would encourage investments in
new thirty-year, fixed-rate conventional mortgage loans through a program administered by
the Alabama Housing Finance Authority. The guarantee fund will reduce the investor's potential
for losses. (Act 2009-284, p. 487,§2.)...

Section 11-49B-1 Declaration of purpose and legislative findings. The Legislature finds that
it is estimated that by the year 2040, 40 percent of the economy of this nation, both people
and jobs, will be located in a 14-state region between Texas and Virginia. Alabama, and in
particular the Class 1 municipality and surrounding counties, will be in the very center of
this geographic spread. This center of the growth pattern when combined with our educational
facilities, quality of life, abundance of natural and cultural resources, steady economic
growth, range of housing options, quality health care, climate, affordability, and accessibility
provides this region with an unprecedented opportunity to attract new business both service
based and manufacturing. It, therefore, is the intent of this chapter to take advantage of
this growth opportunity by providing for a unified, coordinated, centrally orchestrated, genuinely
regional system of public transportation embracing services in the...
