Section 9-13-271 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the application of prescribed burning is a landowner property right and a land management tool that benefits the safety of the public, the environment, the natural resources, and the economy of Alabama. Therefore, the Legislature finds that: (1) Prescribed burning reduces naturally occurring vegetative fuels within wildland areas. The reduction of the fuel load reduces the risk and severity of major catastrophic wildfire, thereby reducing the threat of loss of life and property, particularly in urbanizing areas. (2) Many of Alabama's natural communities require periodic fire for maintenance of their ecological integrity. Prescribed burning is essential to the perpetuation, restoration, and management of many plant and animal communities. Significant loss of the state's biological diversity will occur if fire is excluded from fire-dependent ecosystems. (3) Forest lands constitute significant...

Section 2-6-11 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that the Garrett Coliseum and the Alabama Agricultural Center, hereinafter the facility, is a significant historic facility owned by the State of Alabama and which faces imminent closure because of operational and public safety concerns if it is not restored, renovated, and improved. The facility was designed in 1949 by Betty Robinson, the first woman graduate from Auburn University with a degree in architecture. The facility, completed in 1953, is of historic and cultural significance to the State of Alabama and its restoration will enhance opportunities for economic development that will benefit the state. The Legislature further finds that the most efficient way to restore the facility and to operate it profitably is for the Alabama Agricultural Center Board, hereinafter referred to as the board, to enter into agreements with public institutions and other entities through which the use of private funding is primarily used to...

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 2-3A-1 Declaration of purpose and legislative findings. The Legislature has found and determined and does hereby declare that in this state the following conditions exist: (1) That there exists in this state an inadequate supply of funds at interest rates sufficiently low to enable persons engaged in agriculture in this state to continue their operations at present levels; (2) That such inability to continue agricultural operations lessens the supply of agricultural commodities available to fulfill the needs of the citizens of this state; (3) That such inability to continue operations decreases available employment in the agricultural sector of the state and results in unemployment and its attendant problems; and (4) That it is necessary, desirable and in the best interest of the citizens of this state that provision be made for the establishment of a public corporation to promote the development of agriculture in this state by making available to persons engaged in agriculture...
