Section 41-10-621 Legislative findings and purpose. (a) The Legislature finds and declares the following: (1) The State of Alabama has a great need from time to time to have access to financing for economic development and industrial recruitment that does not involve improvements to revenue-producing facilities. (2) It is desirable and in the public interest to establish a state-level authority with the power to issue bonds for such general purposes. (3) The Alabama Supreme Court has held, in effect, that only when the debt of a public corporation is payable out of a new revenue source will such debt not be considered a debt of the state in contravention of Section 213 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901; the State of Alabama expects to receive in the near future new revenues from the settlement of certain litigation between the state and the tobacco industry. (4) By the passage of this division, it is the intention of the Legislature to: a. Provide for the creation of a special...
