Section 41-10-750 Legislative Findings and Purpose. (a) The Legislature finds and declares
the following: (1) In recent years, withdrawals have been made from the Alabama Trust Fund
and the General Fund Rainy Day Account of the Alabama Trust Fund for current budgetary purposes.
The Constitution and laws of the State of Alabama require repayment of the withdrawals and
the Legislature recognizes the need to restore those funds to their prescribed levels. (2)
It is desirable and in the public interest to establish a public corporation of the State
of Alabama with the power to issue bonds for the purpose of making transfers to and deposits
in the Alabama Trust Fund and the General Fund Rainy Day Account of the Alabama Trust Fund,
to provide additional funds to the Alabama Medicaid Agency, and for paying the costs of transportation
projects, and to appropriate and pledge a portion of the revenues to be received by the state
from the settlement of certain claims against BP Exploration and...

Section 22-30A-1 Legislative findings; purpose and intent of chapter. The Legislature finds
that hazardous substances have been treated, stored or disposed of at sites which are inactive
or abandoned and that such sites have the potential for deleterious impacts on groundwater,
human health or the environment. The Legislature, therefore, declares that it is in the public
interest to assure that such sites are identified and that action is taken to provide for
the cleanup and rehabilitation of such sites within the State of Alabama. The Legislature
intends that funds provided under this chapter be used primarily to clean up and rehabilitate
sites not qualified for or unlikely to receive funding under the Federal Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C. §9601 et seq.) but that the funds
provided under this chapter may also be used to provide state matching funds for cleanups
and for operation and maintenance of sites which have completed...

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
serious ozone nonattainment conditions prevailing in urbanized areas of the Northeast, has
proposed emission control requirements for stationary and mobile sources more stringent than
those applicable to states outside of the Northeast Ozone Transport Region ("OTR"),
including a...

Section 41-10-420 Legislative intent. The Legislature finds that the Real Estate Commission
has acquired certain real property in Montgomery, Alabama, title to which is in the name of
the State of Alabama, for the purpose of erecting a building to house the offices of the Real
Estate Commission. The Real Estate Commission has also received authority from the Legislature
to expend certain of its funds in the construction of such a facility. The Legislature further
finds that the Real Estate Commission is unable to complete this building project without
additional funding provided through temporary financing arrangements. Therefore, it is in
the best interest of the State of Alabama and Real Estate Commission to establish a public
corporation with the powers and authority necessary to construct and lease to the commission
a facility adequate to serve the needs of the commission. (Acts 1990, No. 90-293, p. 396,
§1.)...

Section 6-5-751 Legislative findings and objectives. (a) The Legislature finds that the recruitment,
establishment, development, and growth of the commercial aviation aircraft manufacturing industry
in the State of Alabama is important to the economic health of the state and its agencies
and institutions and to the general health, welfare, and prosperity of its citizens. The Legislature
finds that it is reasonable and important to the national and international companies and
businesses involved in the commercial aviation aircraft manufacturing industry locating or
considering locating in the State of Alabama to expect that civil liability actions against
them, if any, will be governed by tort principles generally accepted in other jurisdictions
outside this state that are home to such companies and businesses, but which are consistent
with the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, and this state's public policy. The Legislature
finds that the principles addressed in this article, namely,...

Section 16-1-41.1 School board governance improvement. (a) This section shall be known and
may be cited as the School Board Governance Improvement Act of 2012. (b) The Legislature finds
and declares all of the following: (1) That the purpose of this section is to enhance the
effectiveness of public education governance in Alabama through the establishment of training
requirements, boardsmanship standards, and accountability measures that are designed to promote
informed deliberations and decisions, to revise the qualifications for serving as a member

16-33A-2
Section 16-33A-2 Legislative findings; purpose of chapter. The Legislature declares that there
exists within the State of Alabama a number of accredited independent colleges and universities
whose facilities could be used more effectively in the public interest by the grant of financial
assistance to residents of the state who choose to attend such colleges and universities,
in order to pay a portion of such residents' institutional related expenses at such colleges
and universities, thereby reducing the cost to taxpayers of the state below the cost of providing
similar instruction to such residents at institutions of higher learning within the state
higher education system. The Legislature finds and declares that there is an apparent need
to narrow the gap in student charges between public universities and colleges and independent
institutions of higher education in Alabama in order to provide students with true economic
and academic freedom of choice in selecting a college; and to...

Section 16-1-11.1 Autonomy of nonpublic schools - Legislative findings. The Legislature finds
and declares all of the following: (1) That a parent or guardian in Alabama has a constitutional
right to choose the type of K-12 education that is best for his or her child, whether public
or nonpublic, religious or nonreligious, and including home-based education. (2) That many
parents choose to home school or enroll their children in elementary and secondary nonpublic
schools, including private, church, parochial, or religious schools, that are not subject
to state regulation and do not receive state or federal funds. (3) That other than reporting
on the enrollment of students, these nonpublic K-12 schools have been primarily exempt from
state regulation and have only been required by state law to report the enrollment of students.
(4) That there is no national or state constitutional mandate that the government provide,
license, or regulate nonpublic education, including private, church,...

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...
