The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is a non-profit organization that brings together state legislators, businesses, and think tanks to develop model policies and legislation. Founded in 1973, ALEC promotes free-market principles, limited government, and federalism. Its members work together to draft and promote policy ideas that align with conservative and libertarian principles, covering a wide range of issues such as education, healthcare, tax and fiscal policy, and criminal justice reform. ALEC has been influential in shaping state-level policies and has been criticized for its close ties to corporate interests and its role in promoting conservative legislative agendas. The organization has faced controversy and scrutiny over its influence on state-level decision making and its lack of transparency in its operations.
