Section 8-6-111 Legislative findings; purpose of article. (a) The Legislature finds and determines that unscrupulous promoters may take advantage of the authorizing act by inducing issuers to issue industrial revenue bonds which careful investigation by the issuer or other responsible parties would reveal to be improvident. The standing of all issuers could be impaired and the purposes of the Legislature in enacting the authorizing act could be thwarted by those improvident issues. (b) The purpose of this article is to provide a procedure whereby the State of Alabama, acting through the director and the commission, may assist in developing facts to aid the issuer in the exercise of its authority under the authorizing act, and, to that end, to delay the issuance of industrial revenue bonds pending adequate investigation by the director or to prevent the issue of industrial revenue bonds found to be improvident. (Acts 1978, No. 586, p. 681, §2; Acts 1992, No. 92-124, p. 224, §3.)...

Section 23-1-291 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that certain portions of the state highway system provide access to state locales that are notable for their scenic, natural, historic, recreational, cultural, and archaeological value and are therefore worthy of designations as scenic byways in order to provide special consideration of their unique features and special role in the highway system. The Legislature further finds that the public interest would be served by the formation of a coordinated scenic byways program to enhance recreational, cultural, and archaeological resources, encourage economic development through tourism, improve the transportation system, and educate residents and visitors on the history, culture, and natural beauty of this state. In order to implement this program, the Legislature has determined that a two-tiered structure would best serve the governance of the Alabama Scenic Byways program. The Legislature recognizes that the application of this...
