Section 9-13-271 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the
application of prescribed burning is a landowner property right and a land management tool
that benefits the safety of the public, the environment, the natural resources, and the economy
of Alabama. Therefore, the Legislature finds that: (1) Prescribed burning reduces naturally
occurring vegetative fuels within wildland areas. The reduction of the fuel load reduces the
risk and severity of major catastrophic wildfire, thereby reducing the threat of loss of life
and property, particularly in urbanizing areas. (2) Many of Alabama's natural communities
require periodic fire for maintenance of their ecological integrity. Prescribed burning is
essential to the perpetuation, restoration, and management of many plant and animal communities.
Significant loss of the state's biological diversity will occur if fire is excluded from fire-dependent
ecosystems. (3) Forest lands constitute significant...

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 11-92A-2 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent; construction of article.
(a) The Legislature hereby makes the following findings of fact and declares its intent to
be as follows: In recent years changes have taken place in the economy of the state that have
had a far-reaching effect on the welfare of its citizens. The agrarian economy that once prevailed
in the state and provided the principal means of livelihood for most of its citizens has proven
inadequate to provide employment for the state's growing population. The advent of mechanized
and scientific farming methods has reduced greatly the number of persons required to obtain
increased yields of agricultural products from land under cultivation. There has been a correspondingly
greater dependency upon industrial development as the bulwark of the economy of the state.
It is therefore appropriate and necessary that measures be taken to secure to the citizens
of the state the benefits of a strengthening...

Section 2-3A-1 Declaration of purpose and legislative findings. The Legislature has found and
determined and does hereby declare that in this state the following conditions exist: (1)
That there exists in this state an inadequate supply of funds at interest rates sufficiently
low to enable persons engaged in agriculture in this state to continue their operations at
present levels; (2) That such inability to continue agricultural operations lessens the supply
of agricultural commodities available to fulfill the needs of the citizens of this state;
(3) That such inability to continue operations decreases available employment in the agricultural
sector of the state and results in unemployment and its attendant problems; and (4) That it
is necessary, desirable and in the best interest of the citizens of this state that provision
be made for the establishment of a public corporation to promote the development of agriculture
in this state by making available to persons engaged in agriculture...
