About ALEC
ALEC is a corporate bill mill. It is not just a lobby or a front group; it is much more powerful than that. Through ALEC, corporations hand state legislators their wishlists to benefit their bottom line. Corporations fund almost all of ALEC's operations. They pay for a seat on ALEC task forces where corporate lobbyists and special interest reps vote with elected officials to approve “model” bills. Learn more at the Center for Media and Democracy's ALECexposed.org, and check out breaking news on our ExposedbyCMD.org site.

The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) has eight task forces:

(Until it was disbanded in April 2012, ALEC also operated a Public Safety and Elections Task Force, which adopted such "model" bills as the "Stand Your Ground" bill or "Castle Law" doctrine and the voter ID act.)

This article is about ALEC's Commerce, Insurance, and Economic Development Task Force. Legislators can join this task force for no extra cost. Corporations pay $2,500 a year to join.[1] For model legislation crafted and adopted by the Commerce, Insurance and Economic Development Task Force, go here.

2012 ALEC Spring Task Force Summit Substantive Agenda

At the May 2012 ALEC Spring Task Force Summit in Charlotte, North Carolina, the Commerce, Insurance and Economic Development Task Force "voted to launch a Special Advisory Subcommittee for the Review of Model Policies. The subcommittee will provide recommendations on pieces of model legislation that may be in need of update."

The following model bills were adopted at Charlotte and then were sent on to the ALEC board for approval:

  • "Resolution Opposing Federal Regulation to Extend Unemployment Insurance Benefits to New Parents" (The introduced resolution is on file with CMD. It "identifies serious problems" with the Birth and Adoption Unemployment Compensation Rule that permits workers with newborn or newly adopted children to collect unemployment insurance benefits while on leave.")
  • "The Tenant Management Act" (The introduced resolution is on file with CMD. It "allows housing authorities to contract with tenant management organizations for the operation and management of housing projects.")
  • "Affordable Housing Construction Stimulation Act" (The introduced resolution is on file with CMD. It "allows certain requirements a developer must meet under a municipal housing or building code to be waived.")
  • "Resolution Opposing Federal Legislation to Repeal or Modify the McCarran-Ferguson Act" (The introduced resolution is on file with CMD. The act opposes federal legislation to repeal the McCarran-Ferguson Act which "provides a limited insurance exemption from federal anti-trust laws in order to ensure the viability a healthy, competitive insurance market...")
  • "Full Employment Act" (The introduced resolution is on file with CMD. It "suspends normal benefits of the AFDC, Unemployment Insurance, and Food Stamp programs, except for those Food Stamp recipients who are aged, blind or disabled.")
  • "Proposed Resolution Opposing OSHA's Proposed Ergonomics Work Restriction Protection Plan" (The introduced resolution is on file with CMD. It opposes OSHA's proposed Ergonomics Work Restriction Protection Plan which would "require an employer to pay a worker on modified duty at least 100 percent of pre-injury after-tax earnings for a worker unable to do any job...")
  • "Resolution Opposing Ergonomic Regulations Based on Unsound Science" (It opposed Ergonomic Regulations which "reduce back, arm, neck and other musculoskeletal strains and aches often referred to as "repetitive stress injuries" (RSI's) because "ergonomic regulations should should not be mandated until such regulations are proven to actually reduce or prevent RSI's by sound scientific evidence.")[2]
