The American Legislative Exchange Council, otherwise known by the acronym ALEC, is a non-profit 501(c) organization charitable legislative organization established in 1975. The legislative members are state legislators. It is a forum to allow the members to write model laws and discuss legislative language with other members. ALEC meetings are an opportunity for the corporate and non-profit leaders to meet and provide feedback to legislators. Member legislators can then use these model bills as a template for their own.
ALEC actively tries to keep its membership, activities and communications confidential.[1] This list includes members whose identity primarily has become known through internal documents leaked to Common Cause and research by members of the press. This list may not be complete.
