Section 36-25-2 Legislative findings and declarations; purpose of chapter. (a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares: (1) It is essential to the proper operation of democratic government that public officials be independent and impartial. (2) Governmental decisions and policy should be made in the proper channels of the governmental structure. (3) No public office should be used for private gain other than the remuneration provided by law. (4) It is important that there be public confidence in the integrity of government.

Section 41-10-35 Legislative findings and intent. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, imposes a "state ceiling" upon the aggregate principal amount of "private activity bonds" which may be issued in any calendar year by or on behalf of a state and its political subdivisions and instrumentalities, and establishes a method of allocating the available state ceiling within each state. Authority is granted by the Internal Revenue Code, however, to the states to provide for a different formula for allocation of the state ceiling. The Legislature has found and determined that the allocation method contained in the Internal Revenue Code is ill-suited for the needs of the State of Alabama and that the provisions of this division will result in a more equitable and efficient distribution of the state ceiling available to the state and will therefore promote the economic and industrial development of the state. It is the intent of the Legislature by the passage of this division to...

The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the powers to be granted to the authority by this article and the purposes to be accomplished hereby are proper governmental and public purposes and that the inducement of the location or expansion of...

Section 16-44A-30 Legislative findings. (a) Under Article 1 of this chapter, the Joint Legislative Committee on Southern Leadership Goals authorized and consented to the formation of a non-profit entity, subsequently organized as The Citizenship Trust and domiciled in Shelby County, Alabama, for the purpose of, among other things, proposing to the Legislature a voluntary compact to promote citizenship education programs.

Section 11-32-1 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature finds, determines, and hereby declares that, in counties having a population of not less than 600,000, there are conditions present that are not present in counties with lesser populations. Those conditions include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) The excessive growth in private vehicular traffic in the counties is placing excessive burdens upon the road systems and parking facilities, especially in commercial and industrial districts and in areas of high population density, which cannot be alleviated by private vehicular traffic. (2) The number of vehicular miles the average citizen of those counties travels per day is among the highest nationally in terms of miles and commuting times. (3) The projected continued economic growth of the counties and the general health and welfare of the citizens of the counties require those counties to provide the enhanced availability of public transportation facilities, operations,...

Section 16-16A-7 Additional findings; bonds authorized; procedures. (a) The Legislature finds that the number of students attending the several school systems located in those areas of North Alabama that will be directly impacted by the 2005 BRAC and Subsequent BRAC Actions will collectively increase by an estimated 9,000 students. As a result, there will be a need for the construction of additional school facilities as well as the renovation of existing school facilities. The Legislature also finds that the 2005 BRAC and Subsequent BRAC Actions will have a positive impact on future receipts to the Education Trust Fund, as the significant population growth in North Alabama will increase sales, income, and other tax collections. Thus, it is an efficient use of state funds to allow such revenue growth to help pay for capital improvement costs associated with BRAC-related school construction. (b) The Alabama Public School and College Authority is hereby authorized to sell and issue its...

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...
