Section 37-14-1 Legislative declarations, findings, etc. The Legislature of the State of Alabama has investigated the economic, financial and environmental impact associated with the potential for duplication of electric distribution facilities used for the furnishing of retail electric service.

It is therefore declared that the policy of the State of Alabama is to ensure effective,...
