45-49A-82
Section 45-49A-82 Legislative findings; purpose. The Legislature of Alabama finds and declares
that the health, safety, and welfare of the people of the City of Prichard, in Mobile County,
Alabama, are enhanced by the continual encouragement, development, growth, and expansion of
private enterprise within this state. That there are certain economically depressed areas
in such city that need particular attention to create new jobs, stimulate economic activity,
and attract private sector investment rather than government subsidy to improve the quality
of life of their citizens. It is the purpose of this part to encourage new economic activity
in this depressed area by means of reduced taxes and the removal of unnecessary governmental
barriers to the production and earning of wages and profits and the creation of economic growth.

5-27-1
Section 5-27-1 (Effective January 1, 2018) Legislative findings. The Legislature finds and
declares the following: (1) Federal law allows both depository financial institutions and
credit unions to hold savings promotion contests, subject to certain conditions and authorization
under state law. (2) Savings promotion contests in other states and countries have led to
an increase in the number and amount of funds in personal savings accounts. (3) Savings promotion
contests encourage people to save money by adding a feature to personal savings accounts that
includes a chance to win prizes. (4) Savings promotion contests are not lotteries because
they do not require individuals to pay consideration for a chance to win a prize, and the
individual maintains ownership of the money that is deposited into a savings account or other
qualifying account. (5) The prizes are funded through the interest that accrues across the
pool of savings accounts participating in the promotion contest. (6) It is...

Section 6-5-751 Legislative findings and objectives. (a) The Legislature finds that the recruitment,
establishment, development, and growth of the commercial aviation aircraft manufacturing industry
in the State of Alabama is important to the economic health of the state and its agencies
and institutions and to the general health, welfare, and prosperity of its citizens. The Legislature
finds that it is reasonable and important to the national and international companies and
businesses involved in the commercial aviation aircraft manufacturing industry locating or
considering locating in the State of Alabama to expect that civil liability actions against
them, if any, will be governed by tort principles generally accepted in other jurisdictions
outside this state that are home to such companies and businesses, but which are consistent
with the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, and this state's public policy. The Legislature
finds that the principles addressed in this article, namely,...

of the following: (1) To further the goals of public education throughout the state, each

of public education that are tailored to the unique circumstances and needs of the students
in all schools and communities, and especially in schools and communities that are struggling

better use available resources, local boards of education, local school systems, and parents

Section 41-23-20 Short title; legislative findings and purpose. This article shall be cited
as the "Alabama Enterprise Zone Act." The Legislature of Alabama hereby finds and
declares that the health, safety, and welfare of the people of this state are dependent upon
the continued encouragement, development, growth, and expansion of the private sector within
the state and that there are certain depressed areas in the state that need the particular
attention of government to help attract private sector investment into these areas. Therefore,

11-100-2
Section 11-100-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature hereby finds and determines that: (1)
The convention industry is a vital and beneficial industry for the State of Alabama and promotes
the health, welfare, progress, and physical and economic well-being of the people of this
state. (2) Adequate facilities are essential to the proper development of the meeting and
entertainment industries. Adequate convention facilities are often not self-supporting so
as to permit their financing with revenue bonds, but generate economic activity and stimulate
business and commerce in the affected locality, and throughout the state, through increased
demand for goods and services furnished by restaurants, hotels, places of entertainment, as
well as stores, shops and other establishments, and, as a consequence, they generate additional
state and local tax revenues. (3) It is in the interest of the state and its cities and counties,
for the state to assist any city, county, and entities or...
