American Legislative Exchange Council
The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is a nonprofit organization of conservative state legislators and private sector representatives that drafts and shares model state-level legislation for distribution among state governments in the United States.〔 According to its website, ALEC "works to advance the fundamental principles of free-market enterprise, limited government, and federalism at the state level through a nonpartisan public-private partnership of America's state legislators, members of the private sector and the general public".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About ALEC )〕
ALEC provides a forum for state legislators and private sector members to collaborate on model bills—draft legislation that members may customize and introduce for debate in their own state legislatures.〔 ALEC has produced model bills on a broad range of issues, such as reducing corporate regulation and taxation, combating illegal immigration, loosening environmental regulations, tightening voter identification rules, weakening labor unions and promoting gun rights.〔〔(Wisconsin: Labor Unions Protest Anti-Union Bill Copied from ALEC ). ''Democracy Now!'' February 24, 2015.〕 ALEC also serves as a networking tool among state legislators, allowing them to research conservative policies implemented in other states. Some of these bills dominate legislative agendas in states such as Arizona, Wisconsin, Colorado, Michigan, New Hampshire, and Maine.〔 Approximately 200 model bills become law each year.〔 Many ALEC legislators say the organization converts campaign rhetoric and nascent policy ideas into legislative language.〔
ALEC's activities, while legal,〔 received public scrutiny after being reported by liberal groups in 2011 and after news reports from outlets such as the ''The New York Times'' and ''Bloomberg Businessweek'' described ALEC as an organization that gave corporate interests outsized influence.〔〔 Resulting public pressure led to a number of legislators and corporations withdrawing from the organization.
