Section 4-6-3 Airport hazards contrary to public interest; elimination, alteration, etc., of hazards declared public purpose. It is hereby found that an airport hazard endangers the lives and property of users of the airport and of occupants of land in its vicinity and also, if of the obstruction type, in effect reduces the size of the area available for the landing, taking-off and maneuvering of aircraft, thus tending to destroy or impair the utility of the airport and the public investment therein. Accordingly, it is hereby declared: (1) That the creation or establishment of an airport hazard is an injury to the community served by the airport in question; (2) That it is therefore necessary in the interest of the public health, public safety and general welfare that the creation or establishment of airport hazards be prevented; and (3) That this should be accomplished, to the extent legally possible, by exercise of the police power. It is further declared that both the prevention of the creation or establishment of airport hazards and the elimination, removal, alteration, mitigation or marking and lighting of existing airport hazards are public purposes for which political subdivisions may raise and expend public funds and acquire land or property interests therein.

Section 4-6-4 Authority of counties and municipalities to adopt regulations; zoning jurisdiction of counties and municipalities. (a) Counties. - In order to prevent the creation or establishment of airport hazards, any county having an airport hazard area within its zoning jurisdiction, as hereinafter defined, may adopt, administer and enforce, under the police power and in the manner and upon the conditions hereinafter prescribed, airport zoning regulations for such airport hazard area, which regulations may divide such area into zones, and within such zones specify the land uses permitted and regulate and restrict the height to which structures and trees may be erected or allowed to grow. The zoning jurisdiction of the county is hereby declared to be all unincorporated areas in the county, except within the police jurisdiction of any municipality and the area within two miles of an airport owned or operated by a municipality when said municipality exercises or declares its intention to exercise zoning control over these areas; provided, that when by local acts the jurisdiction of zoning regulations is limited to the corporate limits of a city, this chapter shall not confer any further territorial jurisdiction on such city or its planning board or boards. (b) Municipalities. - Any municipality having an airport hazard area within its zoning jurisdiction, as herein defined, is hereby granted the same powers contained in subsection (a) of this section. The zoning jurisdiction of any municipality, zoning under the authority of this chapter, may include, in addition to the corporate area of said municipality, the area within the police jurisdiction of such municipality and the area lying within two miles of the boundary of any airport owned or operated by said municipality; except, that where a local act limits the territorial jurisdiction of a city planning board to the corporate limits of a city, this chapter limits zoning jurisdiction to such corporate limits. The provisions of this section shall not apply to counties having a population of not less than 54,500 nor more than 56,000 according to the most recent federal decennial census.

Section 4-6-8 Permits; variances; installation, etc., of markers and lights upon airport hazards. (a) Permits. - Any airport zoning regulations adopted under this chapter may require that a permit be obtained before any new structure or use may be constructed or established and before any existing use or structure may be substantially changed or substantially altered. All such regulations may provide rules under which nonconforming uses shall be discontinued and removed in case of being abandoned, destroyed, deteriorated or decayed. In any event, however, all such regulations shall provide that before any nonconforming structure or tree may be replaced, substantially altered, rebuilt, allowed to grow higher or replanted, a permit must be secured from the administrative agency authorized to administer and enforce the regulations, authorizing such replacement or change; but no such permit shall be required to make maintenance repairs to or to replace parts of existing structures which do not enlarge or increase the height of an existing structure. No permit shall be granted that would allow the establishment or creation of an airport hazard or permit a nonconforming structure or tree or nonconforming use to be made or become higher or become a greater hazard to air navigation than it was when the applicable regulation was adopted or than it is when the application for a permit is made. (b) Variances. - Any person desiring to erect any structure, or increase the height of any structure, or permit the growth of any tree, or otherwise use his property in violation of airport zoning regulations adopted under this chapter, may apply to the administrative agency for a variance from the zoning regulations in question. Such variances shall be allowed where a literal application or enforcement of the regulations would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship and the relief granted would not be contrary to the public interest but do substantial justice and be in accordance with the spirit of the regulations and this chapter; provided, that any variance may be allowed subject to any reasonable conditions that the board of adjustment may deem necessary to effectuate the purposes of this chapter. (c) Hazard marking and lighting. - In granting any permit or variance under this section, the administrative agency may, if it deems such action advisable to effectuate the purposes of this chapter and reasonable in the circumstances, so condition such permit or variance as to require the owner of the structure or tree in question to permit the political subdivision, at its own expense, to install, operate and maintain thereon such markers and lights as may be necessary to indicate to flyers the presence of an airport hazard, upon payment to the owner for all damage resulting to his property by such maintenance.

(b) The agency shall not be required to return the original papers acted upon by it, but it shall be sufficient to return certified or sworn copies thereof or of such portions thereof as may be called on by such writ.

Section 4-6-11 Appeals from action of administrative agency or governing body. (a) Any person aggrieved by any decision of an administrative agency made in its administration of airport zoning regulations adopted under this chapter or any governing body of a political subdivision which is of the opinion that a decision of such an administrative agency is an improper application of airport zoning regulations of concern to such governing body or board may appeal to the circuit court of the county where such airport is located. (b) All appeals taken under this section must be taken within 10 days by filing with the agency from which the appeal is taken a notice of appeal specifying the grounds thereof. The agency from which the appeal is taken shall forthwith transmit to the court all the papers constituting the record upon which the action appealed from was taken. (c) An appeal shall stay all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the agency from which the appeal is taken certifies to the court, after the notice of appeal has been filed with it, that by reason of the facts stated in the certificate a stay would, in its opinion, cause imminent peril to life or property and file bond to indemnify the owner for damages as may be fixed by the court. In such cases proceedings may be stayed upon the filing by the appellant of a supersedeas bond in an amount to be set by the circuit court of the county in which the subject matter of such decision lies on application by the appellant or the agency from which the appeal is taken. (d) The court may, in conformity with the provisions of this chapter, reverse, affirm wholly or partly, or modify the order, requirement, decision or determination appealed from and may make such order, requirement, decision or determination as ought to be made and to that end shall have all the powers of the administrative agency from which the appeal is taken.

2023 Code of Alabama › Title 5 - Banks and Financial Institutions. › Chapter 1A - General Provisions. › Section 5-1A-9 - Deposit Creates Debtor-Creditor Relationship; Agreement as to Person or Purpose for Which Deposit Made and Payable.
Section 5-1A-9 Deposit creates debtor-creditor relationship; agreement as to person or purpose for which deposit made and payable. A deposit to a bank or other financial institution permitted by law to take deposits from the general public ("depository institution") creates the relationship of debtor and creditor between the depositor and the depository institution. All such deposits are general deposits unless there is a written agreement between the depositor and the depository institution which provides therein that the deposit is to be paid only to a particular identified or identifiable person or that the deposit is made and payable only for a specific and particular purpose. This section shall not affect accounts labeled "escrow" or "trust." (Acts 1986, No. 86-543, p. 1075.)

Section 5-2A-7 Superintendent - Expansion of banking powers; rules and regulations. (a) The Legislature finds as fact and determines that the financial industry composed of those banks and savings and loan associations having their principal place of business in Alabama must keep pace with technological and other improvements constantly being made throughout the United States so as to enable Alabama banks and savings and loan associations to render better and more efficient services to the citizens of Alabama. It is necessary and desirable that the superintendent be given additional authority in these fields. (b) The superintendent is hereby authorized to expand banking powers of Alabama banks or the powers of Alabama savings and loan associations in order to: (1) Accommodate or take advantage of changing technologies; and (2) Assure the ability of Alabama banks and Alabama savings and loan associations to be responsive in their respective businesses to the needs and conveniences demanded by consumers and businesses through on-premises as well as off-premises operations; provided, that nothing in this section shall enable the superintendent to authorize banks to engage in activities which are not properly incident to the business of banking nor to enable the superintendent to authorize savings and loan associations to engage in the business of offering financial services which are now prohibited to them. No bank, nor savings and loan association having its principal place of business outside of Alabama may engage in the banking or savings and loan business in Alabama under the provisions of this section; provided, that the superintendent is authorized to enter into agreements with the appropriate regulatory authorities of other states or of the United States, under the terms of which banks or savings and loan associations of such foreign state or subject to federal regulatory jurisdiction, and banks and savings and loan associations having their principal place of business in Alabama are given and may exercise reciprocal rights. (c) The superintendent is authorized to issue regulations under subsection (b) and shall give notice in writing of any such proposed regulation to each Alabama bank and Alabama savings and loan association affected thereby, inviting comments, and shall give due consideration to such comments before adopting any final regulation. Any regulation issued under this section relating to banks shall be adopted pursuant to the provision of Section 5-2A-9. Any Alabama bank, Alabama savings and loan association and any foreign corporation or association covered by the provisions of subsection (b) desiring to exercise any such expanded power must secure in advance written permission of the superintendent. The superintendent may prescribe the form or forms for such applications for permits and may impose reasonable conditions in granting such permits. (d) To the extent permitted by federal law, the provisions hereof may be utilized by national banks and federally chartered savings and loan associations.

Section 5-2A-9 Superintendent - Procedure for promulgation of regulations; emergency regulations; judicial review. (a) Prior to the adoption, amendment, or repeal of any regulation, the superintendent shall: (1) Give at least 35 days' notice of the intended action. The notice shall include a statement of either the terms or substance of the intended action or a description of the subjects and issues involved, and the time when, the place where, and the manner in which interested persons may present their views thereon. The notice shall be mailed to all banks in this state and shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in Montgomery County. A complete copy of the proposed regulation shall be filed with the Secretary of State; and (2) Afford all interested persons reasonable opportunity to submit data, views, or arguments, orally or in writing. Opportunity for oral hearing must be granted if requested by 25 persons, by a governmental subdivision or agency, or by an association having not less than 25 members. The superintendent shall consider fully all written and oral submissions respecting the proposed regulation. Upon adoption of a regulation, the superintendent, if requested to do so by an interested person either prior to adoption or within 30 days thereafter, shall issue a concise statement of the principal reasons for and against its adoption, incorporating therein the reasons for overruling the considerations urged against its adoption. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section to the contrary, if the superintendent finds that an immediate danger to the public welfare requires adoption of a regulation upon fewer than 35 days' notice and states in writing his reasons for that finding, he may proceed without prior notice or hearing or upon any abbreviated notice and hearing that he finds practicable to adopt an emergency regulation. The regulation shall become effective immediately, unless otherwise stated therein, upon the filing of the regulation and a copy of the written statement of the reasons therefor with the Secretary of State. The regulation may be effective for a period of not longer than 120 days and shall not be renewable. The superintendent and Banking Board shall not adopt the same or a substantially similar emergency regulation within one calendar year from its first adoption unless the superintendent clearly establishes it could not reasonably be foreseen during the initial 120-day period that such emergency would continue or would likely reoccur during the next nine months. The adoption of the same or a substantially similar regulation by normal regulation-making procedures is not precluded. (c) No regulation hereafter adopted is valid unless adopted in substantial compliance with this section. A proceeding to contest any regulation on the ground of noncompliance with the procedural requirements of this section must be commenced within two years from the effective date of the regulation; provided, however, that a proceeding to contest a regulation based on failure to provide notice as herein required or on an incorrect interpretation of the law may be commenced at any time. (d) The validity or applicability of any regulation or an interpretation of the Banking Department may be determined in an action for declaratory judgment brought in the Circuit Court of Montgomery County when it is alleged that the adoption, amendment or repeal of any regulation or any interpretation or the application or threatened application of any regulation or any interpretation interferes with or impairs or threatens to interfere with or impair the legal rights and privileges of the bank or any person affected thereby.

2023 Code of Alabama › Title 5 - Banks and Financial Institutions. › Chapter 2A - State Banking Department. › Article 1 - General Provisions. › Section 5-2A-12 - Superintendent - Order to Correct Unsafe and Unsound Matters; Penalties; Procedure.
Section 5-2A-12 Superintendent - Order to correct unsafe and unsound matters; penalties; procedure. (a) For purposes of this section, a bank holding company is a holding company organized under the laws of Alabama or another state in the United States that directly owns a majority of the voting securities of an Alabama state bank. (b) The superintendent may order a bank, a bank holding company, the board of directors, any director or directors, and any officer or officers of any bank or bank holding company, individually or collectively (hereafter affected person, whether one or more) to correct any matters in the conduct of the affairs of the bank which in the opinion of the superintendent are unsafe and unsound. The Banking Board, after at least 20 days' written notice by the superintendent to the bank and any affected person, and a hearing before the Banking Board, may direct the superintendent to issue an order that imposes civil money penalties on the bank or bank holding company and affected person and, if so determined by the Banking Board, that removes any affected person: (1) Who does not comply with the superintendent's order to correct unsafe and unsound matters if the Banking Board by written order enters a finding that the bank has thereby suffered or will probably suffer substantial financial loss and that such practice is one involving personal dishonesty on the part of such affected person or one which demonstrates a willful and continuing disregard for the safety and soundness of the bank or bank holding company, the result of which has caused the bank to suffer or which is likely to cause the bank to suffer substantial financial loss; or (2) Whose conduct: a. demonstrates personal dishonesty in connection with the business, operations, assets, or liabilities of the bank or bank holding company; or b. demonstrates a willful and continuing disregard for the safety and soundness of the bank, the result of which has caused or is likely to cause the bank or bank holding company to suffer substantial financial loss. (c) The amount of civil money penalties imposed shall not exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000) per day with a maximum amount of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate for all violations of an order of the superintendent. An order of removal also may prohibit the affected person from participating in the affairs of any Alabama state bank or any holding company that controls an Alabama state bank. In the superintendent's order to the bank or affected person of the imposition of civil money penalties or removal, the superintendent shall include a specific statement of the facts constituting the alleged unsafe and unsound conduct to be made the basis of the imposition of civil money penalties or removal. At the hearing thereon before the Banking Board, the board of directors of the bank or the affected person shall have the right to appear in person or by counsel. No member of the Banking Board, other than the superintendent, may participate in the hearing if such member is affiliated with the bank or affected person or has previously been involved in a determination to institute the proceedings leading to the hearing. Any order of the superintendent as directed by the Banking Board, imposing civil money penalties or directing removal of an affected person shall within 28 days of the date of entry thereof be appealable to the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, which appeal shall be conducted de novo. Pending expiration of the time for appeal, the order imposing civil money penalties or of removal shall not become effective and neither the superintendent nor the Banking Board shall publicly disclose such order except in connection with the appeal. All proceedings before the Banking Board shall be confidential. Any person violating this section by disclosure of nonpublic information presented at a confidential hearing before the Banking Board, other than the disclosure that may result in connection with an appeal thereof, shall be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.

Section 5-2A-63 Savings and Loan Board; appeals from orders, etc., of commissioner or board. (a) There is hereby created a Savings and Loan Board, consisting of the Savings and Loan Commissioner, who shall be the ex officio chairman of the board and four persons who shall be appointed by the Governor and who shall be persons with actual practical experience for at least three years in the operation and management of an institution of the savings and loan type. The members of the board shall serve without compensation; except that members shall be paid their travelling expenses in connection with the performance of their duties as members of the board plus $10.00 per diem while engaged in the performance of such duties. Such travelling expenses shall be paid out of the treasury. The board shall have such rights, powers and privileges and shall be subject to such duties as are provided by Chapter 16 of this title. The board shall maintain in the office of the commissioner permanent records of its hearings and decisions. The commissioner shall provide adequate and sufficient quarters and personnel for use by the board in connection with the performance of its business. The Governor shall appoint one member for the term of one year, one for a term of two years, one for a term of three years, and one for a term of four years, and, thereafter, upon the expiration of such terms, members shall be appointed for a term of four years. The Governor shall fill any vacancy by the appointment of a member for the unexpired term of such member. (b) As provided in Chapter 16 of this title, associations may appeal from certain actions of the commissioner, by filing in writing, with the secretary of the board, within 30 days after the action of the commissioner complained of, a statement of the objections taken to such action. A copy of such statement shall be simultaneously filed with the commissioner. Within 10 days after the date of any such objection, the board shall fix a date for a hearing on such objection. The objecting association and the commissioner shall be notified in writing of the date of such hearing. The date of such hearing shall not be earlier than 15 days nor later than 30 days after the date of such notice, unless the board deems an earlier hearing necessary or advisable. At such hearing, the association shall present by its attorney, a director or directors, officer or officers or other employee the reasons why it deems itself aggrieved by the action of the commissioner. The commissioner shall be heard in defense of his action. The board may permit other persons who may be concerned or affected by its decision to appear before it at any such hearing. After hearing the evidence and determining the facts, the board shall, upon the merits, either approve or disapprove the action of the commissioner. (c) After such action, should any association be dissatisfied with any findings, ruling, order or judgment of the board, said association may within 30 days after the making and issuance thereof commence a civil action in the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Alabama, against the board and commissioner as defendants, to vacate and set aside said finding, ruling or order on the ground that same is unjust and unreasonable. The rules of pleading and procedure in such civil action shall be the same as for the trial of civil actions in the circuit courts of this state, and on hearing the judge of said circuit court may set aside, modify or confirm said finding, ruling, order or judgment as the evidence may require. Appeals may be taken from the decision of the circuit court to the supreme court by either party in the same manner as is provided by law in other civil cases, but the board and commissioner may appeal without bond. Pending any such appeal, the findings, rulings, orders and judgments of the board shall be prima facie evidence that they are just and reasonable and that the facts found are true and shall remain in full force and effect. If no civil action is brought within 30 days, said finding, ruling, order or judgment shall become final and binding.

Section 5-2A-80 Created; supervisor of bureau; inspections; records, reports, etc., not open to public. To administer and enforce the provisions of chapter 18 of this title, there is hereby created in the State Banking Department the Bureau of Loans. The Superintendent of Banks shall, with the approval of the Governor and subject to the provisions of the merit system, appoint a Supervisor of the Bureau of Loans, who shall be the chief of the Bureau of Loans, and such other employees of said bureau as may be necessary. The Supervisor of the Bureau of Loans shall take and file with the Secretary of State the official oath and shall give bond in the penal sum of $10,000.00 for the faithful performance of the duties of his office. The Supervisor of the Bureau of Loans, for the purpose of discovering violations of Chapter 18 of this title, may investigate the loans and business of every person, copartnership and corporation by whom or by which any such loan shall be made, whether such person, copartnership or corporation shall act, or claim to act, as principal, agent or broker or under or without the authority of said chapter. All records, reports and other data submitted by any licensee to the Supervisor of the Bureau of Loans and the reporting of all investigations made under Chapter 18 of this title shall remain in said office and shall not be open to public inspection.

Section 5-2A-81 Revocation and suspension of licenses; injunctive relief as to violations of Small Loan Act. (a) Upon 10 days' written notice to a licensee, stating the contemplated action and grounds therefor, and after giving the licensee a reasonable opportunity to be heard, the bureau shall suspend or revoke any license issued under Chapter 18 of this title if it finds: (1) That the licensee is in default in the payment of the annual license fee or has failed to comply with any rule, regulation or order of the Bureau of Loans promulgated by it under authority of Chapter 18 of this title; or (2) That a fact or condition exists as to the licensee which would have justified the bureau in refusing originally a license to him if the fact or condition had existed at the time of the original application for such license by him. If the bureau finds that there exists probable cause for the suspension or revocation of any license and that the enforcement of Chapter 18 of this title requires immediate suspension of such license pending a complete investigation, it may, upon three days' written notice, and after a hearing, enter an order suspending such license for a period not exceeding 30 days, during which time no loans may be made by the licensee. Upon completion of its investigation, the bureau may reinstate the license or revoke the same or order such further suspension thereof as the circumstances may warrant. (b) The supervisor may, either before or after the suspension or revocation of any license, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for an injunction or other order enjoining or prohibiting any person from violating any of the provisions of Chapter 18 of this title or any rules, regulations or orders of the bureau, and upon a proper showing the court shall issue such injunction or order as may be deemed proper.

Section 5-2A-82 Appeals from acts of bureau or supervisor. Any person aggrieved by any order or act of the bureau or the supervisor may, within 30 days from the entry of the order complained of or within 60 days of the act complained of if there is no order, file a complaint or appeal from the order or act against the supervisor in the Circuit Court of Montgomery County or the circuit court of the county of the residence of the party aggrieved or the circuit court of the county wherein the party aggrieved does business and file security with the court for costs. Such complaint may pray for a reversal, rescission or modification of the order or act complained of and for such other relief as may be appropriate. It shall allege the facts relied upon as the basis for such relief. When the complaint has been filed, a summons shall be issued forthwith and shall be served upon the supervisor personally or by registered or certified mail addressed to his office in the State Banking Department. The summons shall be returnable within five days from its date but in all other respects it shall be made as in other civil actions. The allegations of the complaint shall be deemed to be denied without further pleading, and the court, upon application by either party, shall advance the cause and hear the same without delay. Mere technical irregularities in the procedure before the bureau shall be disregarded. Trial thereof shall be de novo, but on such hearing the act or order of the supervisor shall be prima facie correct and the burden shall be on the plaintiff to show that the bureau in issuing the order or in taking the action complained of was not justified. Any party to the proceeding may summon witnesses and compel their attendance as in criminal cases and may introduce evidence in addition to that relied upon by the bureau. A proceeding under this section shall be deemed to be a special proceeding and either party may appeal from a final judgment therein.

Production of records and documents or testimony, whether or not made under oath, required by the superintendent on the examination of any bank or bank holding company shall not constitute a waiver by the bank, bank holding company, or any director, officer, employee, advisor, consultant, attorney, or accountant of or for the bank or bank holding company of any attorney-client privilege or other privilege to which they may be entitled under law. (c) Any officer, director, agent, or employee of any bank, any bank holding company, any affiliate of any bank, or any agency of any foreign bank, or any affected person, whether one or more, who (1) makes any false entry or omission with intent to mislead in any book, report, or statement of such bank, bank holding company, affiliate of such bank, or agency of such foreign bank or (2) makes a false statement, whether or not made under oath, to the superintendent, an examiner acting under the superintendent, or to any officer of such bank, bank holding company, affiliate of any bank, or agency of any foreign bank with intent to injure or defraud such bank, bank holding company, affiliate, or agency or with the intent to influence in any way the action of the superintendent or an examiner acting under the superintendent, shall be subject to removal and the imposition of civil money penalties by the superintendent when so directed by the Banking Board as provided in this title.
