Section 16-16A-1 Legislative findings. Military installations are a major source of economic
stability for Alabama and, particularly, Madison County and North Alabama and are important
to our Nation's defense. The United States Department of Defense was legislatively directed
to reorganize its military installation infrastructure through the 2005 Base Realignment and
Closure (2005 BRAC) process. As a result of the 2005 BRAC and anticipated future base realignment
and closure activities, Madison County and North Alabama have and are expected to experience
significant growth which demands modernizing and expanding the infrastructure for schools,
and school related capital projects, in the areas impacted by the growth at Redstone Arsenal.
It is expected that Alabama will gain thousands of high paying jobs because of the 2005 BRAC
and anticipated future Base Realignment and Closure processes. It is found and declared to
be necessary to foster business growth and job creation and generate...

Section 11-92B-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature makes the following findings: (1) That
the economic development of property comprising a former military installation is of vital
importance to the life, health, and welfare of the citizens of local cities and counties affected

of military installations after the closure of the military installations. (3) That an Alabama
court has ruled that a city and county lack legislative authority to join in any entity for

16-16A-7
Section 16-16A-7 Additional findings; bonds authorized; procedures. (a) The Legislature finds
that the number of students attending the several school systems located in those areas of
North Alabama that will be directly impacted by the 2005 BRAC and Subsequent BRAC Actions
will collectively increase by an estimated 9,000 students. As a result, there will be a need
for the construction of additional school facilities as well as the renovation of existing
school facilities. The Legislature also finds that the 2005 BRAC and Subsequent BRAC Actions
will have a positive impact on future receipts to the Education Trust Fund, as the significant
population growth in North Alabama will increase sales, income, and other tax collections.
Thus, it is an efficient use of state funds to allow such revenue growth to help pay for capital
improvement costs associated with BRAC-related school construction. (b) The Alabama Public
School and College Authority is hereby authorized to sell and issue its...
