as follows: (1) As the basis for enacting Act No. 84-131, the Legislature found and determined
that the conduct within Class 1 municipalities in the state of horse racing events and pari-mutuel
wagering thereon will generate additional revenues for governmental and charitable purposes,
provide additional jobs for the residents of the state and benefit the businesses related
to tourism and recreation within any such municipality and throughout the surrounding areas
of the state; it is desirable to permit the qualified voters of any Class 1 municipality to
determine through referendum whether horse racing and pari-mutuel wagering thereon will be
permitted in such municipality; and for each Class 1 municipality in which horse racing is

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 8-23-1 Legislative findings and declaration. The Legislature finds and declares that
there exist in connection with a substantial number of contracts for health studio services
certain practices and business and financing methods which have worked undue financial hardship
upon some of the citizens of our state, and that existing legal remedies are inadequate to
correct existing problems in the industry. The Legislature finds and declares that the health
studio industry has a significant impact upon the economy and well-being of the people of
the state and that the provisions of this chapter regulating health studio contracts are necessary
for the public welfare. (Acts 1984, No. 84-297, p. 661, §1.)...

plan shall provide a framework for the preparation and approval of programs, provide direction
for program development and shall include the following...

13A-11-150
Section 13A-11-150 Legislative findings and determinations. The Legislature has found and determined
that there has been an increasing number of illegal acts committed against animal research
and production facilities involving injury to humans or animals, criminal trespass, and damage
to property. These acts not only abridge the property rights of the owner of the facility,
they also damage the public interest by jeopardizing crucial scientific, biomedical, or agricultural
research or production. These actions can also threaten the public safety by exposing communities
to serious public health concerns and may substantially disrupt or damage research. Therefore,
it is in the interest of the people of the State of Alabama to protect the welfare of humans
and animals as well as productive use of public funds to prohibit unauthorized possession,
alteration, or destruction of agricultural, educational, or research records, equipment, and
animals. (Acts 1993, No. 93-327, §1.)...

Section 28-9-1 Legislative intent and purpose. The legislative intent and purpose of this chapter
is to provide a structure for the business relations between a wholesaler and a supplier of
beer. Regulation in this area is considered necessary for the following reasons: (1) To maintain
stability and healthy competition in the beer industry in this state. (2) To promote and maintain
a sound, stable, and viable three-tier system of distribution of beer to the public. (3) To
promote the public health, safety, and welfare. (Acts 1988, No. 88-80, p. 87, §1.)...

5-18-2
Section 5-18-2 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent. (a) The Legislature
finds as facts and determines that: (1) There exists among citizens of this state a widespread
demand for small loans. The scope and intensity of this demand have been increased progressively
by many social and economic forces; (2) The expense of making and collecting small loans,
which are usually made on comparatively unsubstantial security to wage earners, salaried employees
and other persons of relatively low incomes, is necessarily high in relation to the amounts
lent; (3) Such loans cannot be made profitably under the limitations imposed by existing laws
relating to interest and usury. These limitations have tended to exclude lawful enterprises
from the small loan field. Since the demand for small loans cannot be legislated out of existence,
many small borrowers have been left to the mercy of those willing to bear the opprobrium and
risk the penalties of usury for a large profit; (4)...

11-49B-1
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...
