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...

of injuries inflicted upon them by violent criminals. That the general social and economic
welfare of such victims and their dependents is and ought to be intimately affected with the
public interest, that the deplorable plight of these unfortunate citizens should not go unnoticed
by our institutions and agencies of government. The Legislature hereby further finds, determines
and declares that it is to the benefit of all that victims of violence and their dependents
be assisted financially and socially whenever possible. To this end the Legislature intends
to provide a means whereby victims of violent crime and...

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,...

11-53B-1
Section 11-53B-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds all of the following: (1) It is
estimated that within the municipalities of the state, there exist several thousand parcels
of real property that due to poor design, obsolescence, or neglect, have become unsafe to
the extent of becoming public nuisances. Much of this property is vacant or in a state of
disrepair and is causing or may cause a blight or blighting influence on the city and the
neighborhoods in which the property is located. Such property constitutes a threat to the
health, safety, and welfare to the citizens of the state and is an impediment to economic
development within the municipality. This threat can be minimized if an incorporated municipality
is authorized to repair the affected structures and is able to recover the cost of the repairs.
In addition, where the municipality has undertaken the demolition of the structures and has
taken a lien on the real property for the cost of the demolition, there has not...
