* the [[ALEC Tax and Fiscal Policy Task Force]].
(Until it was disbanded in April 2012, ALEC also operated a [[ALEC Public Safety and Elections Task Force|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. Later in 2012, ALEC launched the "[[ALEC Justice Performance Project|Justice Performance Project]]" (JPP) in place of the Public Safety and Elections Task Force. The bills associated with the JPP in task force materials obtained by the Center for Media and Democracy and posted by ALEC appear to continue ALEC's modus operandi of promoting the financial interests of the corporations and special interest groups that fund it, such as the American Bail Coalition, according to ''PRWatch''.<ref>Nick Surgey, [httphttps://www.prwatch.org/news/2013/11/12292/alec-posts-legislative-agendas-while-hiding-its-very-special-interests ALEC Posts Legislative Agendas while Hiding Its Very Special Interests], ''PRWatch'', November 3, 2013.</ref>)
