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

to implement the provisions of Amendment No. 270 of the...

Section 29-1-24 Ozone transport oversight. (a) This section may be referred to as the Ozone
Transport Oversight Act of 1997. (b) The Legislature of the State of Alabama finds all of
the following: (1) The Federal Clean Air Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq., contains
a comprehensive regulatory scheme for the control of emissions from mobile and stationary
sources. (2) Ozone and other air pollutants have declined substantially during the past 25
years throughout the United States due to implementation of the Clean Air Act, and additional
air quality improvements will result as the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments are implemented.
(3) The Northeast Ozone Transport Commission ("OTC"), in an effort to remedy the

proposed emission control requirements for stationary and mobile sources more stringent than
those applicable to states outside of the Northeast Ozone Transport Region ("OTR"),

Section 24-1A-1 Legislative findings and declaration of purpose of chapter. (a) It is hereby
found and declared that from time to time there has existed and at the present time there
exists an inadequate supply of funds at interest rates sufficiently low to enable the financing
of safe and sanitary multi-family dwelling units for citizens of this state and single family
dwelling units for citizens of this state with low and moderate income; that the inability
to finance such single and multi-family dwelling units results in an inability of builders
to construct such housing causing unemployment or underemployment in the housing construction
and related businesses and causes a lack of safe and sanitary housing to be available to the
citizens of this state; that such unemployment or underemployment in the housing construction
and related businesses and an inadequate supply of safe and sanitary housing wastes human

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

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,...
