Section 2-6-11 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that the Garrett Coliseum and the
Alabama Agricultural Center, hereinafter the facility, is a significant historic facility
owned by the State of Alabama and which faces imminent closure because of operational and
public safety concerns if it is not restored, renovated, and improved. The facility was designed
in 1949 by Betty Robinson, the first woman graduate from Auburn University with a degree in
architecture. The facility, completed in 1953, is of historic and cultural significance to
the State of Alabama and its restoration will enhance opportunities for economic development
that will benefit the state. The Legislature further finds that the most efficient way to
restore the facility and to operate it profitably is for the Alabama Agricultural Center Board,
hereinafter referred to as the board, to enter into agreements with public institutions and
other entities through which the use of private funding is primarily used to...

Section 2-6-71 Declaration of purpose and legislative findings. The Legislature has found and
determined and does hereby declare that in certain areas of this state, there are inadequate
market facilities available to Alabama farmers for the efficient handling and sale of agricultural
and agriculture related products. The Legislature has also found and determined, and does
hereby declare that the coliseum is in dire need of repair and is in such poor condition as
to limit its use by the public. It is the intent of the Legislature, by the passage of this
article, to authorize the incorporation of a public corporation as an instrumentality of the
state for the purpose of borrowing funds to finance the construction of an adequate market
facility and the renovation of the coliseum and to vest said corporation with all powers,
rights, privileges and titles that may be necessary to accomplish said purposes. This article
shall be liberally construed in conformity with said intent. (Acts 1984,...

Section 13A-11-150 Legislative findings and determinations. The Legislature has found and determined
that there has been an increasing number of illegal acts committed against animal research
and production facilities involving injury to humans or animals, criminal trespass, and damage
to property. These acts not only abridge the property rights of the owner of the facility,
they also damage the public interest by jeopardizing crucial scientific, biomedical, or agricultural
research or production. These actions can also threaten the public safety by exposing communities
to serious public health concerns and may substantially disrupt or damage research. Therefore,
it is in the interest of the people of the State of Alabama to protect the welfare of humans
and animals as well as productive use of public funds to prohibit unauthorized possession,
alteration, or destruction of agricultural, educational, or research records, equipment, and
animals. (Acts 1993, No. 93-327, §1.)...

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...
