美国立法交流委员会( American Legislative Exchange Council,ALEC) 是一个由美國保守主義州立法者和私营部门代表组成的非营利组织,他们會起草法律草稿,並將其分發給美国各州政府閱覽。[2] [3] [4]
美国立法交流委员会已經就减少个人和公司的税收、打击非法移民、放松环境監管、削弱工会和反对槍枝管制制定一些法律草稿。[5] [6] [7] [8]其中一些草稿法案進入了亚利桑那州、威斯康星州、科罗拉多州、密歇根州、新罕布什尔州和缅因州等州的立法议程。[9]每年大约有200份該組織制定的草稿法案成为法律。[5]
[ALEC] provide[s] direct assistance to state legislators and firms eager to minimize any state government engagement in environmental protection. ALEC's membership base includes nearly one-third of all sitting state legislators and most of its resources are derived from corporations and trade associations. It offers regular conferences and training sessions but is perhaps best known for drafting model bills that can easily be adopted by an individual state and introduced into a legislature.
