Section 24-4A-1 Legislative findings; purpose of chapter. The Legislature hereby finds that
in an effort to meet the housing needs within the state, the private housing and construction
industry has developed mass production techniques which can substantially reduce a housing
and building cost, and that the mass production of housing and buildings consisting primarily
of factory manufacture presents unique problems with respect to the establishment of uniform
health and safety standards and inspection procedures. The Legislature further finds that
by minimizing the problems of standards and inspection procedures, it is demonstrating its
intention to encourage the reduction of manufactured building construction costs, and to make
housing and home ownership more feasible for all residents of the state. (Acts 1981, No. 81-706,
p. 1183, ยง1.)...

Section 36-36-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature of Alabama hereby finds and determines
that the funding of accrued and accruing health care benefits to retired employees and their
dependents is a proper governmental function and purpose of the state. The Governmental Accounting
Standards Board has issued Statements 43 and 45, which set forth standards on accounting and
reporting for post-employment benefits other than pensions by governments. The new standards
will require the state to account for such post-employment benefits on an actuarial basis
during an employee's career rather than on a pay-as-you-go basis during the employee's period
of retirement. The Legislature has determined that it would be advisable for the state to
create irrevocable trusts whereby the state may begin funding those benefits in advance to
address and ultimately offset the state's accrued liabilities for such benefits. Therefore,
the state, the State Employees' Insurance Board, and the Public...

Section 41-10-44.1 Legislative intent with respect to additional powers of the authority. The
Legislature has found and determined that the economic well-being of the citizens of the State
of Alabama will be enhanced by the increased development and growth of industry within the
state and that it is in the best interest of the state to induce the location or expansion
of industrial and research facilities within the state in order to promote the public purpose
of creating new jobs within the state. The Legislature further has found and determined that
the inducements herein provided will encourage the creation of jobs which would not otherwise
exist and will create new sources of tax revenues for the state and its political subdivisions.
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 45-37A-461 Electric supplier service territories. (a) The Legislature of the State
of Alabama has investigated the economic, financial, and environmental impact associated with
the potential for duplication of electric distribution facilities used for the furnishing
of retail electric service in and around the City of Tarrant City, Alabama. Among its findings
is that with respect to retail electric service industry, the benefits normally associated
with competition between two suppliers for customers is outweighed by the tremendous cost
burden which must be borne by such customers associated with the maintenance of two or more
duplicate sets of facilities. It is the further finding of the Legislature that the existence
of duplicate facilities for the furnishing of electricity at retail in Tarrant City is not
in the public interest because of the adverse impact which such duplication has on environmental
and aesthetic values and on safety. It is therefore declared that the...

Section 11-40-16 Creation of enterprise zones within Class 1 cities; purpose. (a) The Legislature
of Alabama hereby finds and declares that the health, safety, and welfare of the people of
Class 1 cities 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 cities 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 section to encourage new economic activity
in these depressed areas of such Class 1 cities 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. (b) In order to further the purposes of this section, Class
1 cities are hereby authorized to create by ordinance one or more...

Section 37-4-150 Electric transmission facilities. (a) This section shall be known and may
be cited as the Energy Security Act of 2015. (b) The Legislature hereby finds and declares
that due to the economic, financial, and service impacts associated with the development of
electric transmission facilities used for the furnishing of electric service to consumers
in this state, it is in the public interest to provide incumbent electric suppliers the right
to construct, own, operate, and maintain new transmission facilities that connect to their
own electric systems. The Legislature further finds and declares that providing incumbent
electric suppliers this right furthers their ability to satisfy their respective obligations
to provide service to Alabama consumers. This section implements these findings. (c) As used
in this section, the following words have the following meanings: (1) COMMISSION. The Alabama
Public Service Commission. (2) ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION FACILITY. Any transmission...

Section 11-49A-1 Legislative findings and purpose. The legislature has found and determined
and does hereby declare that in Class 3 municipalities the following conditions exist: (1)
That the constant growth of private vehicular traffic in such counties in which such municipalities
are located is placing excessive burdens upon the road systems and parking facilities, especially
in commercial and industrial districts and in areas of high population density; (2) That the
continued economic growth of such municipalities and the general health and welfare of the
citizens of such counties require the availability of public facilities for mass transportation;
and (3) That it is necessary and desirable and in the best interests of the citizens of such
municipalities that provisions be made for the establishment in such counties of public corporations
to provide public transportation service. The legislature does hereby further declare its
intention, by the passage of this chapter, to promote...

Section 9-7-11 Purpose of chapter; legislative findings. The purpose of this chapter is to
promote, improve and safeguard the lands and waters located in the coastal areas of this state
through a comprehensive and cooperative program designed to preserve, enhance and develop
such valuable resources for the present and future well-being and general welfare of the citizens

and aesthetic resources of immediate and potential value to the present and future well-being
of the state; (2) There are increasing and competing demands upon the lands and waters of
the coastal area occasioned by population growth and economic development, including requirements
