|
The American Legislative Exchange Council or ALEC is a nonpartisan, nonprofit membership association of state legislators. The group develops model laws for state legislatures that promote the Jeffersonian principles of free markets, limited government, individual liberty, and federalism. About 2,400 legislators (1/3 of the state legislators in the United States) are members of ALEC.
There nine "task forces," each of which address a wide variety of public policy issues: Civil Justice; Commerce, Insurance and Economic Development; Criminal Justice; Education; Health and Human Services; Natural Resources; Tax and Fiscal Policy; Telecommunications and Information Technology; Trade and Transportation.
There is also an ad hoc working group on Homeland Security.
