(1) Accident data establishes that speeding vehicles have been and are a dangerous problem

45-49-21.20
Section 45-49-21.20 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature is cognizant of Opinion of the
Justices No. 376, issued April 9, 2002, which states that a local bill for Washington County
"purporting to allow by local law the creation of a traffic in alcohol that does not
presently exist in smaller municipalities in Washington County, does not fit within the ambit
of the last paragraph of Section 104 permitting the Legislature to pass local laws regulating
or prohibiting such traffic." The effect of this Opinion of the Justices is to greatly
limit situations in which local laws may be enacted regarding alcoholic beverages. This opinion,
in part, was based upon a determination that, "Generally, 'regulate' implies the exercise
of control over something that already exists." While respecting the constitutional authority
granted to the Alabama Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, this
body disagrees with the conclusion reached by the court concerning Section 104....

Section 5-27-1 (Effective January 1, 2018) Legislative findings. The Legislature finds and
declares the following: (1) Federal law allows both depository financial institutions and
credit unions to hold savings promotion contests, subject to certain conditions and authorization
under state law. (2) Savings promotion contests in other states and countries have led to
an increase in the number and amount of funds in personal savings accounts. (3) Savings promotion
contests encourage people to save money by adding a feature to personal savings accounts that
includes a chance to win prizes. (4) Savings promotion contests are not lotteries because
they do not require individuals to pay consideration for a chance to win a prize, and the
individual maintains ownership of the money that is deposited into a savings account or other
qualifying account. (5) The prizes are funded through the interest that accrues across the
pool of savings accounts participating in the promotion contest. (6) It is...
