Section 9-21-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that the management and stewardship
of aquatic plants is important to the State of Alabama. It is the intent of the Legislature
that the management of aquatic plants in the waters of the Tennessee River be carried out
under the general supervision and stewardship of a board, as preventing the spread of and
managing the infestation of invasive aquatic plants in public waters of the Tennessee River
and its tributaries is best accomplished through coordinated educational and management activities.

Section 41-4-350 Legislative findings; purpose. (a) The Legislature of Alabama hereby finds
and determines that the responsible stewardship of its state-owned and leased real property
is a proper governmental function of the State of Alabama. The Legislature finds that costs
for maintenance, construction, and leasing of real property in the state government comprise
a significant portion of available resources. The Legislature also finds that as one of the
largest owners and operators of buildings in Alabama, the state is a major consumer of energy.
It is therefore the intent of Act 2015-435 to establish centralized management of real property
through leasing administration, facilities maintenance and management, and construction management
that consists of expanded duties in existing divisions, as well as newly established divisions,
within the Department of Finance. In establishing this centralization, it is further the intent
of the Legislature to establish comprehensive real...

Section 33-17-2 Legislative intent; construction of chapter. The Legislature hereby makes the
findings of facts and declaration of intent hereinafter set forth in this section. The construction
of a navigable waterway between Demopolis, Alabama and the Tennessee River, utilizing the
channel of the Tombigbee River, would provide a new transportation route of great importance
and would stimulate the development of commerce, agriculture and industry in many sections
of the state. Local flooding along the tributary streams of the Tombigbee River occurs frequently
in the growing and harvesting season and causes considerable damage to agriculture in the
affected sections of the state. Improvements in the channels of the tributary streams will
eliminate much of the damage caused by flooding and will also permit improved farming practices
and better land use. It is the intention of the Legislature by the passage of this chapter
to implement the provisions of Amendment No. 270 of the...

22-30F-2
Section 22-30F-2 Legislative findings; purpose and intent of chapter; establishment of revolving
loan program for voluntary remediation of environmentally contaminated areas. (a) The Legislature
finds that rural and urban property in Alabama may have areas of contamination which may be
addressed via the Alabama Land Recycling and Economic Redevelopment Act, Sections 22-30E-1
through 22-30E-13. The Legislature further finds that encouraging the voluntary remediation
and redevelopment of such properties is in the public interest. (b) The Legislature finds
that industries and developers often give preference to previously unused greenfield sites
over previously used property due largely to concerns over the financial and environmental
liabilities which may be incurred in acquiring such previously used property for reuse and
redevelopment. The Legislature further finds that the appropriate reuse and redevelopment
of properties which are contaminated, or perceived to be contaminated is in...
