==ALEC Bill Text==<br />
<br />
Summary<br />
<br />
This Act establishes that the Department may approve either “Kinship Care” or “Fictive Kin” as a best interest of the child placement, and an alternative to entering into the Foster Care system when circumstances necessitate out-of-home-placement for a minor child. When children are no longer able to stay in their homes with their parents due to parental death, military deployment, abuse and/or neglect, parental substance abuse, mental illness, incarceration, serious physical illness, and/or disability, this act allows the Department to place the child with a relative or individual not related by birth, adoption, or marriage, but who maintains an emotionally significant relationship with the child.<br />

All children need safe homes, nurturing role models and caring relationships to grow and thrive.

During these difficult times, relatives or individuals who maintain a significant relationship with the child should be allowed to step in to provide care.

<br />
Subdivision 1. Scope. For the purposes of this chapter, the words defined in this section have the meaning given.<br />
<br />
Subd. 2. Certification. “Certification” is a voluntary program in which the state government grants nontransferable recognition to an individual who meets personal qualifications established by the legislature. Upon approval, the individual may use “certified” as a designated title. A non-certified individual may also perform the lawful occupation for compensation but may not use the title “certified.”<br />
<br />
Subd. 3. Lawful occupation. “Lawful occupation” means a course of conduct, pursuit or profession that includes the sale of goods or services that are not themselves illegal to sell irrespective of whether the individual selling them is subject to an occupational regulation.<br />
<br />
Subd. 4. Occupational license. “Occupational license” is a nontransferable authorization in law for an individual to perform exclusively a lawful occupation for compensation based on meeting personal qualifications established by the legislature. In an occupation for which a license is required, it is illegal for an individual who does not possess a valid occupational license to perform the occupation for compensation.<br />
<br />
Subd. 5. Personal qualifications. “Personal qualifications” are criteria related to an individual’s personal background and characteristics including completion of an approved educational program, satisfactory performance on an examination, work experience, other evidence of attainment of requisite skills or knowledge, moral standing, criminal record and completion of continuing education.<br />
<br />
Subd. 6. Specialty occupational license for medical reimbursement. “Specialty occupational license for medical reimbursement” means a non-transferable authorization in law for an individual to qualify for payment or reimbursement from a government agency for the non-exclusive provision of medical services based on meeting personal qualifications established by the legislature. A private company may recognize this credential. Notwithstanding this specialty license, it is legal for a person regulated under another occupational regulation to provide similar services as defined in that statute for compensation and reimbursement. It is also legal for an individual who does not possess this specialty license to provide the identified medical services for compensation but the non-licensed individual shall not qualify for payment or reimbursement from a government agency.<br />
<br />
<big>100.02 Petition for Review of Criminal Record</big><br />
<br />
Subdivision 1. The right of an individual to pursue an occupation is a fundamental right.<br />
<br />
Subd. 2. The fundamental right of an individual to pursue an occupation includes (a) the right of an individual with a criminal record to petition the state to obtain a certification, occupational license, specialty occupational license for medical reimbursement or other state recognition of the individual’s personal qualifications (hereafter “state recognition”) and (b) the state not using a criminal record as an automatic permanent bar to an individual’s receiving state recognition.<br />
<br />
Subd. 3. An individual with a criminal record may petition a licensing board, agency, department or other state or local issuer of occupational licenses (hereafter “board”) at any time, including before obtaining any required education or training, for a determination of whether the individual’s criminal record will disqualify the individual from obtaining state recognition.<br />
<br />
Subd. 4. The individual shall include in the petition the individual’s criminal record. The individual may include additional information about the individual’s current circumstances, including the time since the offense, evidence of rehabilitation, testimonials and employment aspirations.<br />
<br />
Subd. 5. Notwithstanding any other statute or rule, the board is authorized to determine whether the individual’s criminal record disqualifies the individual from obtaining state recognition.<br />
<br />
Subd. 6. The board may find the individual’s criminal record disqualifies the individual from obtaining state recognition only if:<br />
*the individual’s criminal record includes a conviction for a felony or violent misdemeanor;<br />
*the type of felony or violent misdemeanor for which the individual was convicted is expressly codified as a disqualifying offense in the relevant occupational license’s statute; and<br />
*the board concludes the state has an important interest in protecting public safety that is superior to the individual’s right. The board may make this conclusion only if it determines, by clear and convincing evidence at the time of the petition, that:<br />
:*the specific offense for which the individual was convicted is substantially related to the state’s interest;<br />
:*the individual, based on the nature of the specific offense for which the individual was convicted and the individual’s current circumstances, is more likely to reoffend by virtue of having the license than if the individual did not have the license; and<br />
:*a re-offense will cause greater harm than it would if the individual did not have the license.<br />
<br />
Subd. 7. The board shall issue its determination within 90 days after the board receives the petition. The determination shall be in writing and include a finding of facts and a conclusion of law.<br />
<br />
Subd. 8. If the board determines the state’s interest is superior to the individual’s right, the board may advise the individual of actions the individual may take to remedy the disqualification. The individual may submit a revised petition reflecting the completion of the remedies at any time after 90 days following the board’s judgment.<br />
<br />
Subd. 9. The individual may appeal the board’s determination in subdivision 7 as provided for in the state’s administrative procedure act.<br />
<br />
Subd. 10. The individual may submit a new petition to the board at any time after two years following a final judgment in the initial petition.<br />
<br />
Subd. 11 The board may rescind its determination at any time if the individual is convicted of an additional offense that the Board determines meets the elements in subdivision 6.<br />
<br />
Subd. 12. The board may charge a fee to recoup its costs not to exceed $100 for each petition.<br />
<br />
Subd. 13. The Department of Public Safety will establish an annual reporting requirement of the (a) number of applicants petitioning each board, (b) the numbers of each board’s approvals and denials, (c) the type of offenses for which each board approved or denied the petitions and (d) other data the Department determines. The Department will compile and publish annually a report on a searchable public website.<br />

<br />
==ALEC Bill Text==<br />
<br />
Summary<br />
<br />
The resolution opposes taxpayer financing of professional sports stadiums and venues.<br />
<br />
Definitions<br />
<br />
*“Professional sports” means any sporting event or competition featuring non-amateur athletes. High school or collegiate level athletics and competitions funded solely by 501(c)(3) non-profit entities within their charitable purpose are excluded from this definition.<br />
<br />
*“Stadium” or “Professional Sports Stadium” means a venue that hosts two or more professional sports events in a calendar year, or two or more practices for any professional sports events. “Stadium” includes practice and development facilities, office space, merchandising facilities, restaurants, or lodging for either major and minor league professional sports teams.<br />

*“Subsidy” means, direct funding, tax credit, tax exemption, government bond, loan, loan guarantee, or any other funding mechanism that comes from state or local government.<br />
<br />
<br />
Model Resolution<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, over the last few decades billions of dollars in public money has been spent on private professional sports stadiums and facilities; and,<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, state and local governments should spend their financial resources on the core functions of government, such as public safety, education, and roads; and,<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, the funding of sports stadiums and venues often crowds out these core functions of government; and,<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, the promises of economic development and increased economic activity from professional sports stadiums are often overstated or never materialize; and,<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, the consumer spending on sports entertainment after stadiums are constructed often comes at the expense of consumer spending in other types of entertainment; and,<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, the overwhelming evidence from the academic research on stadium subsidies shows they do not produce net positive returns for states and localities; now,<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, subsidies are given to lure a professional sports team or to prevent a team from moving from one state to another state; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, that teams will force states and cities to bid against each other, costing residents hundreds of millions of dollars<br />
<br />
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that [insert state] is opposed to government ownership, financing, and spending of and for professional sports stadiums; and,<br />
<br />
Therefore, be it further resolved that state shall adopt the following interstate compact to prevent the public financing of professional sports stadiums and facilities<br />
<br />
<big>Article I</big><br />
<br />
<u>Purpose</u><br />
<br />
The purpose of this compact is to prevent the use of taxpayer dollars for private professional sports stadiums and facilities by removing the ability of teams to use the threat of relocation to use taxpayer dollars to build their stadiums.<br />
<br />
<big>Article II</big><br />
<br />
<u>Effective date</u><br />
<br />
This compact shall become effective immediately as to when twenty-four other states have ratified it and given consent thereto. The satisfaction of this requirement shall be determined by the Attorney General. The Attorney General shall notify the legislature when the requisite number of states have adopted a substantially similar measure.<br />
<br />
<big>Article III</big><br />
<br />
<u>Prevention of State Funds</u><br />
<br />
Notwithstanding any other provisions of law to the contrary, no moneys held in the state’s general revenue fund shall be expended or appropriated, nor shall a subsidy given for the construction, maintenance, promotion, or operation of a professional sports stadium.<br />
<br />
<big>Article IV</big><br />
<br />
<u>Prevention of Local Funds</u><br />
<br />
Upon the effective date of this compact, no political subdivisions of this state shall expend or appropriate public funds, nor provide a subsidy, for the construction, maintenance, promotion, or operation of a professional sports stadium.<br />
<br />
<big>Article V</big><br />
<br />
<u>Previous Commitments</u><br />
<br />
Nothing in this section shall be interpreted to amend or breach any existing contract or inhibit bond financing and payment for any project approved prior to the effective date of this act.<br />
<br />
<big>Article VI</big><br />
<br />
Nothing in this section shall prevent a state or political subdivision of the state from building and charging reasonable fees for infrastructure related to a professional sports stadium, including but not limited to, sewer, electricity, and transportation.<br />

<br />
==ALEC Bill Text==<br />
<br />
Summary<br />
<br />
Under current GAAP for state and local governments some financial statement users may not realize the gravity of failure to address under-funding of state-sponsored pension plans. This Resolution calls upon the relevant standard-setting body, the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB), to adopt reporting standards that require reporting as a liability on a governmental entity’s balance sheet any unfunded pension plan obligation for which it is responsible; reporting as a current expense the cost of any changes in benefits awarded on the basis of past service; clear disclosure of discount rates used in the calculation of pension liabilities; why such discount rates were selected; and the liabilities which would result if alternative discount rates were applied. It also requests GASB to send an official representative to present information and answer inquiries at a public hearing to be held by the relevant committee or committees.<br />
<br />

WHEREAS, The information needs of the users of government financial statements are different from the needs of the users of private company financial statements; and<br />
<br />
*Pensions and other post-employment benefits present serious problems that threaten the flexibility of state and local governments to address future problems; and<br />
<br />
*Many employees have faithfully labored over many years with an expectation of receiving a pension and other post-employment benefits; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, Under current GAAP for state and local governments some users of the financial statements may not realize the gravity of failure to address the under-funding of pension plans; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, GASB is deliberating changes in accounting standards for pensions; now<br />
<br />
Therefore, be it RESOLVED that this {insert name of legislative body} hereby encourages GASB to adopt accounting standards such as to require:<br />

:(1) Government entities to account for the output and cost (including indirect costs) of any program and activity undertaken and<br />
<br />
:(2) To account for the achievement of each program and activity undertaken.<br />
<br />
:(3) Clear disclosure of discount rates used in the calculation of pension liabilities; why such discount rates were selected; and the liabilities which would result if alternative discount rates were applied; and to include, without limitation, a pro forma analysis based on prevailing ten-year U.S. Treasury bond rates.<br />
<br />
:(4) Projections for each of the next 20 plan years following the plan year relating to the amount of annual contributions, the fair market value of plan assets, current liability, the funding percentage, together with a statement of the assumptions and methods used in connection with such projections, including assumptions related to funding policy, plan changes, future workforce projections, future investment returns.<br />
<br />
And be it further RESOLVED that GASB is hereby invited to send an official representative to present information and answer inquiries at a public hearing to be held by the relevant committee or committees of {insert name of legislative body} on:<br />
<br />
:(1) the real and potential impact of its current government accounting principles for pensions which it is deliberating,<br />
<br />
:(2) how such changes may provide a clearer and more relevant base of information for state and municipal officials to exercise their judgment in the management of their respective financial affairs,<br />
<br />
:(3) the nature and transparency of the deliberative procedures of GASB, and<br />
<br />
:(4) mechanisms by which the officials, representatives, and taxpayers, public employees, and service recipients of the respective states and municipalities may provide input to such deliberations.<br />
<br />

The failure to comply with the requirements of this act does not constitute grounds in any criminal or civil proceeding for challenging the validity of a database match or of any database information, and any evidence of that DNA record shall not be excluded by a court on those grounds.<br />
<br />
(e) No sexual assault forensic evidence shall be used:<br />
<br />
:(1) to prosecute a survivor for any misdemeanor crimes or any crime defined under [insert state controlled substances statutes]; or<br />
<br />
:(2) as a basis to search for further evidence of any unrelated misdemeanor crimes or any crime under [insert state controlled substances statutes], that may have been committed by the survivor.<br />
<br />
<u>Section 8. Notice to survivors</u><br />
<br />
(a) Upon initial interaction with a survivor, a law enforcement officer or medical provider shall provide the survivor with a document to be developed by the [DEPARTMENT] that explains the rights of survivors, pursuant to this act and other relevant law, in clear language that is comprehensible to a person proficient in English at the fifth grade level, accessible to persons with visual disabilities, and available in all major languages of the state. This document shall include, but is not limited to:<br />
<br />
:(1) a clear statement that a survivor is not required to participate in the criminal justice system or to receive a medical evidentiary or physical examination in order to retain the rights provided by this chapter and other relevant law;<br />
<br />
:(2) telephone and internet means of contacting nearby rape crisis centers and sexual assault counselors;<br />
<br />
:(3) forms of law enforcement protection available to the survivor, including temporary protection orders, and the process to obtain such protection;<br />
<br />
:(4) instructions for requesting the results of the analysis of the survivor’s sexual assault forensic evidence; and<br />
<br />
:(5) state and federal compensation funds for medical and other costs associated with the sexual assault; and information on any municipal, state, or federal right to restitution for survivors in the event of a criminal trial.<br />
<br />
(b) A law enforcement official shall, upon written request by a survivor, furnish [within [x] business days of receiving such request] a free, complete, and unaltered copy of all law enforcement reports concerning the sexual assault, regardless of whether the report has been closed by the law enforcement agency.<br />
<br />
(c) A prosecutor shall, upon written request by a survivor, provide<br />
<br />
:(1) timely notice of any pretrial disposition of the case, as provided under [insert relevant state statutory or constitutional provisions];<br />
<br />
:(2) timely notice of the final disposition of the case, including the conviction, sentence, and place and time of incarceration, as provided under [insert relevant state statutory or constitutional provisions];<br />
<br />
:(3) timely notice of a convicted defendant’s location, including whenever the defendant receives a temporary, provisional, or final release from custody; escapes from custody; is moved from a secure facility to a less-secure facility; or re-enters custody; as provided under [insert relevant state statutory or constitutional provisions]; and<br />
<br />
:(4) a convicted defendant’s information on a sex offender registry, if any.<br />
<br />
<u>Section 9. Cause of Action</u><br />
<br />
''[Ed. note – Rise advises that a civil cause of action be established for the violation of the rights given to survivors in Sections 2 to 8 of this bill. This being said, we leave this section purposefully blank in order to give states flexibility in terms of which rights they wish to establish a cause of action for, and the types of damages and/or other forms of remedies should be available as a result of the violation of the enumerated rights of a survivor in Sections 2 to 8. At a minimum, Rise advocates that injunctive relief and attorney’s fees be available to a survivor whose right was violated. Considering the difficulty of establishing traditional form of damages, statutory damages may be added to this provision in order to set a specific amount of available damages to the survivor whose right was violated.''<br />
<br />
''Here is an example statutory cause of action modeled for a specific state:''<br />
<br />
*''Each person, corporation, agency, officer, or employee who has a responsibility or responsibilities to survivors under this act or other applicable law shall make reasonable efforts to become informed about these responsibilities and to ensure that survivors and witnesses receive such information and services to which they may be entitled under applicable law.''<br />
*''Any failure to make such efforts, or any violation of the enumerated rights or provisions described herein, shall be considered a tortious act causing injury to person or property within the state.''<br />
*''Whenever the attorney general shall believe from evidence satisfactory to the attorney general that any person, corporation, agency, officer, or employee has failed to make such efforts, or has violated any of the enumerated rights and provisions contained therein, the attorney general may bring an action in the name and on behalf of the people of [insert state] to enjoin such acts or practices, including through mandatory injunction, and to obtain restitution for any survivors affected directly or indirectly from any such act or omission. In such action, preliminary relief may be granted under [insert relevant state statute(s)].''<br />
*''Before any violation of this section is sought to be enjoined, the attorney general shall be required to give the person against whom such proceeding is contemplated notice by certified mail and an opportunity to show in writing within five business days after receipt of notice why proceedings should not be instituted against him, unless the attorney general shall find, in any case in which he or she seeks preliminary relief, that to give such notice and opportunity is not in the public interest.''<br />
*''In any such action, it shall be a complete defense that the act or practice is subject to and complies with the rules and regulations of, and the statutes administered by any official department, division, commission or agency of the United States as such rules, regulations or statutes are interpreted by such department, division, commission or agency or the federal courts.''<br />
*''In connection with any proposed proceeding under this section, the attorney general is authorized to take proof and make a determination of the relevant facts, and to issue subpoenas in accordance with the civil practice law and rules.''<br />
*''This section shall apply to all violations of this statute, whether or not subject to any other law of this state,[1] and shall not supersede, amend or repeal any other law of this state under which the attorney general is authorized to take any action or conduct any inquiry pursuant to this statute.''<br />
*''In addition to the right of action granted to the attorney general pursuant to this section, any person who has been injured by reason of any violation of this act or the enumerated rights and provisions contained herein may bring an action in his or her own name to enjoin, including through mandatory injunction, such unlawful act or practice, an action to recover his or her actual damages or one thousand dollars, whichever is greater, or both such actions. The court may, in its discretion, increase the award of damages to an amount not to exceed three times the actual damages up to six thousand dollars, if the court finds the defendant willfully or knowingly violated this section.''<br />
*''The court may award reasonable attorney’s fees to a prevailing plaintiff.]''<br />

<br />
==ALEC Bill Text==<br />
<br />
Summary:<br />
<br />
This Resolution supports raising felony theft thresholds, as many current state felony theft thresholds were set years or decades ago, and have not been updated to reflect economic growth nor changes in the value of consumer goods. For example, a felony theft of $1,000 in 1985 is equal to more than twice that in 2015 dollars. Further, research shows that higher thresholds do not impact property crime nor larceny rates. Additionally, as states raise thresholds, these dollar values should be indexed to a formula-based inflation measure. Raising felony theft thresholds would continue to protect the public while preventing overcriminalization and unnecessary prison sentences. It is vital that we focus costly prison beds on those who pose a danger to society rather than nonviolent offenders sentenced under decades-old felony theft standards.<br />
<br />
<br />
Model Resolution:<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is committed to developing effective criminal justice policies that hold offenders accountable while maximizing results for public safety, victims, and taxpayers; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, many state felony theft thresholds were set years or decades ago and have not been adjusted for inflation; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, since 2000, at least 35 states have increased their felony theft thresholds; currently, six states have a threshold of $2000 or higher, nine have a threshold of $1500, and 19 have a threshold of $1000; and,<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, increasing felony thresholds has not been show to result in higher property crime or larceny rates; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, the states that raised their thresholds since 2001 reported nearly the same average declines in property crime and larceny as the states that did not make changes; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, felony offenses typically have a penalty of at least one year in a state prison, while a misdemeanor typically results in jail time or probation; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, prison sentences have not been shown to be a more cost-efficient or effective way to deal with many low-level nonviolent offenders as compared to alternatives to incarceration; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, prison beds should be primarily focused on those who pose a danger to society,<br />
<br />
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that jurisdictions should review their felony theft thresholds.<br />
<br />
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that jurisdictions should raise their felony theft threshold and index that threshold to a formula-based inflation measure to be adjusted at regular intervals.<br />

==ALEC Bill Text==<br />
<br />
Summary<br />
<br />
Originally, the U.S. Constitution provided for U.S. Senators to be selected by state legislatures however the 17th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution adopted in 1914 upended 124 years of precedent calling for direct election of U.S. Senators. This change heralded many unintended consequences including greater federal overreach and Senate campaigns that are so costly that U.S. Senators become unduly beholden to special interests. This model policy urges the U.S. Congress to propose a constitutional amendment to overturn the 17th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.<br />
<br />
Whereas Article I, Section 3, Paragraph 1 of the Constitution provided for the Senators to be chosen by the Legislature of each State, and was effective for 124 years;<br />
<br />
Whereas the 17th Amendment adopted in 1914 changed this method of choosing Senators to direct election by the people which disenfranchised the sovereign States;<br />
<br />
Whereas the 17th Amendment has had many unintended consequences including runaway federal deficits, unfunded mandates, overreach by federal agencies and excessive and burdensome impositions by the federal government upon the States;<br />
<br />
Be it resolved by the Legislature of the State of __________________ :<br />
<br />
<u>Section 1.</u><br />
<br />
The Legislature of the State of ________________ hereby recommends to Congress that an amendment to the Constitution be adopted that is substantially similar to the following:<br />
<br />
*Section 1. The seventeenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.<br />
<br />
*Section 2. Senators shall be elected exclusively by the State legislature, upon a majority vote of legislators present and voting in a joint session. If a vacancy shall exist for more than one hundred-eighty days, then the Governor shall appoint the Senator to serve the remainder of the vacant term. This procedure may not be modified by state initiative or referendum.<br />
<br />
*Section 3. State legislatures may issue instructions to, or recall, their Senators at any time.<br />
<br />
*Section 4. Any Senators serving at the time this amendment becomes a valid part of the Constitution shall complete their current term of office.<br />
<br />
<u>Section 3.</u><br />
<br />
The Secretary of State is hereby directed to transmit copies of this resolution to the President and Secretary of the United States Senate, to the Speaker and Clerk of the United States House of Representatives, to the members of the Senate and House of Representatives from this State, and to the presiding officers of each of the legislative Chambers in the several States, all of the forgoing with cover letters requesting appropriate cooperation and action.<br />
<br />
<u>Section 4.</u><br />
<br />
This application is to be considered as covering the same subject as any previously outstanding application from other States on the subject of repealing the seventeenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States, including but limited to previously adopted applications from other Stares; and this application shall be aggregated with all other applications on such subject, but shall not be aggregated with applications on any other subject.<br />
<br />
<u>Section 5.</u><br />
<br />
This application constitutes a continuing application until such time as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States has been adopted by two-thirds of Congress and three-fourths of the States. It supersedes all previous applications on the same subject.<br />

<br />
==ALEC Bill Text==<br />
<br />
SUMMARY:<br />
<br />
The purpose of this act is to provide greater transparency, accountability, and fairness for the accused during grand jury proceedings. States that still permit grand jury proceedings before a criminal proceeding can continue ought to have certain safeguards to preserve an accused’s due process protections.<br />
<br />
<u>SECTION 1. Legislative Purpose and Findings</u><br />
<br />
a. The purpose of this act is to provide greater transparency, accountability, and fairness for the criminally accused during the grand jury proceedings.<br />
<br />
b. It is found that the grand jury proceeding has traditionally been a means for the citizens of the United States to stand between the accused and an overzealous government.<br />
<br />
c. It is also found, that as time has gone on, the grand jury system has slowly transformed into a proceeding that heavily favors the state, while affording little due process protections for the accused.<br />
<br />
d. It is also found that many states have done away with the proceeding altogether in favor of a more open probable cause hearing before a magistrate.<br />
<br />
e. It is found that a probable cause hearing likely provides greater protection to the accused than a traditional grand jury proceeding does. However, in states that still allow or require grand jury proceedings before a criminal proceeding can continue, certain safeguards, transparency, and accountability measures are necessary to preserve an accused’s due process protections.<br />
<br />
<u>SECTION 2. RECORDING OF GRAND JURY PROCEEDINGS</u><br />
<br />
a. All statements made by the grand jury or the attorney representing the state, all questions propounded by the grand jury or the attorney representing the state to a witness, including a witness who is an accused or suspected person, and all testimony of a witness, including the accused or suspected person, shall be recorded either by a stenographer or by use of an electronic device capable of recording sound. Deliberations of the grand jury may not be recorded.<br />
<br />
b. A motion to set aside an indictment due to an intentional failure to record all or part of the proceedings as required under this article must be filed in writing not later than the 45th day after the date the presentment of the indictment is entered in the record, unless the defendant demonstrates that the defendant did not have a previous opportunity to challenge the failure to record the grand jury proceedings.<br />
<br />
a. The clerk of the court shall maintain possession of all records made and may not release any record of the proceedings unless authorized by Section 3.<br />
<br />
<u>SECTION 3. DISCLOSURE OF TRANSCRIPT OF GRAND JURY PROCEEDINGS.</u><br />
<br />
a. The accused or suspected person or the attorney representing the state may request from the clerk of the court a copy of the transcript not later than the 20th day after the date the presentment of the indictment is entered in the record under unless good cause is shown for a late request.<br />
<br />
b. On receiving a request under Subsection (a), the clerk of the court shall transcribe the recording, if necessary, and deliver the transcript to the attorney representing the state.<br />
<br />
c. After receiving the transcript, attorney representing the state shall:<br />
<br />
:1. after considering the security and privacy interests of each witness or victim, redact any portion of the transcript that includes identifying information of a witness or victim with a privacy or security concern, including the name of the witness or victim and any other information that by reference would make it possible to identify the witness or victim; and<br />
<br />
:2. deliver the transcript to the accused or suspected person.<br />
<br />
d. On request of the defendant, the court shall conduct a hearing to determine whether certain redactions were necessary and whether changes to the redactions should be made.<br />
<br />
e. The accused or suspected person shall pay any necessary costs incurred by the clerk of the court in transcribing a recording in response to a request submitted by the person. The court may waive or reduce the costs if they determine person is indigent or demonstrates an inability to pay.<br />
<br />
f. The attorney representing the state, the accused or suspected person, or the attorney representing the accused or suspected person may disclose the contents of a transcript of a grand jury proceeding obtained under this article during a criminal proceeding that arises from the grand jury proceeding if ordered by a magistrate.<br />

As of August 4, 2017, it is not known whether this model policy was approved by the ALEC Board of Directors.<ref> American Legislative Exchange Council, [https://www.alec.org/model-policy/draft-resolution-urging-the-presidential-administration-and-congress-to-support-international-trade-and-the-north-american-free-trade-agreement-nafta/ Draft Resolution Urging the Presidential Administration and Congress to Support International Trade and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)], organizational website, accessed August 4, 2017.</ref><br />
<br />
==ALEC Bill Text==<br />
<br />
Summary<br />
<br />
International Trade is critical for American jobs and the economy, responsible for 41 million jobs including half of the country’s 12 million manufacturing jobs and generated over $2.3 trillion in trade volume 2014. The United States, Canada and Mexico enjoy a critical, robust and longstanding economic partnership. The North American Free Trade Agreement, specifically, has generated substantial new opportunities for U.S. workers, farmers, consumers and businesses. As the Administration and Congress look at existing and potential future U.S. trade agreements, this resolution calls on them to support free trade policies focused on creating market-opening access and opportunities for American companies to compete on a level-playing field and reach the 95% of the global population outside our borders.<br />
<br />
Whereas, the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) policy on free trade acknowledges that, “the imposition of artificial barriers to free and open trade... are deterrents to American economic interests;” and<br />
<br />
Whereas, a longstanding, close tri-lateral relationship, codified in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), has existed between the United States, Canada and Mexico for more than 20 years and has proven economically, culturally and strategically important for all parties; and<br />
<br />
Whereas, together, the United States and Canada and Mexico promote a shared belief in freedom, democracy and market principles; and<br />
<br />
Whereas, trade with Canada and Mexico supports nearly 14 million American jobs, and nearly 5 million of those jobs are supported by increased trade generated by NAFTA; and<br />
<br />
Whereas, for 43 states in the United States, Canada and Mexico represent their first or second largest export market and all but one U.S. state counts Canada or Mexico as a top three trading partner; and<br />
<br />
Whereas, since NAFTA entered into force in 1994, trade with Canada and Mexico has nearly quadrupled to $1.3 trillion, and the two countries buy more than one-third of U.S. merchandise exports; and<br />
<br />
Whereas, the United States ran a cumulative trade surplus in manufactured goods with Canada and Mexico of more than $79 billion over the seven year period from 2008-2014 with a surplus in services of $41.8 billion in 2014, alone; and<br />
<br />
Whereas, NAFTA has been a boon to competitiveness of U.S. manufacturers, which added more than 800,000 jobs in the four years after NAFTA entered into force, with Canadians and Mexicans purchasing $487 billion of U.S. manufactured goods in 2014 generating nearly $40,000 in export revenue for every American factory worker; and<br />
<br />
Whereas, NAFTA has contributed to a 350 percent increase in U.S. agricultural exports to Canada and Mexico; and<br />
<br />
Whereas, U.S. service exports to Canada and Mexico have tripled, rising from $27 billion in 1993 to $92 billion in 2014, thanks to new market access and clearer rules afforded by NAFTA; and<br />
<br />
Whereas, Canada and Mexico are the top two export destinations for U.S. small and medium-sized enterprises, more than 125,000 of which sold their goods and services in Canada and Mexico in 2014; now<br />
<br />
Therefore be it resolved, that ALEC supports international free trade and the continuation and strengthening of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA); and<br />
<br />
Be it further resolved, that ALEC urges the President of the United States and the Congress of the United States to first-and-foremost do no harm in the upcoming negotiations with Mexico and Canada as they seek to modernize NAFTA and to update and improve the agreement while not compromising existing commercial ties and activities between the United States, Mexico and Canada; and<br />
<br />
Be it further resolved, that upon adoption, an official copy of this Resolution be prepared and presented to the President of the United States, to the Chairmen and Ranking members and all other members of the U.S. Senate Finance and the U.S. House Ways and Means Committees, to the members of the Senate and House Advisory Groups on Negotiations, to the U.S. Trade Representative, to the U.S. Secretaries of Commerce, State and Labor and to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget.<br />

<div>The '''[https://www.alec.org/model-policy/resolution-recognizing-mutual-benefit-between-health-care-sharing-health-savings-accounts/ Resolution Recognizing the Mutual Benefit Between Health Care Sharing and Health Savings Accounts]''' was adopted by the [http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/ALEC_Health_and_Human_Services_Task_Force ALEC Health and Human Services Task Force] at the 2014 States and Nation Policy Summit and approved by the Board of Directors on January 9, 2015. (Accessed July 14, 2017).<br />
<br />
==ALEC Bill Text==<br />
<br />
Summary<br />
<br />
Recognizes the mutual benefit that would be created if citizens who opened a Health Savings Account would have the ability to choose between participation in a health care sharing ministry or the purchase of a high-deductible health insurance plan and encourages Congress to support federal legislation to create this additional health care cost support choice.<br />
<br />
Model Resolution<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, health care cost support is an essential element of economic security for American families, and individuals and families require more health care cost support choices, not fewer; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, health care sharing ministries (HCSM) provide health care cost sharing arrangements among persons of similar and sincerely held religious beliefs, administered by not-for-profit religious organizations; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, Congress recognized the legitimacy of HCSMs in 2010 when it granted participants in these ministries one of the nine exemptions from the individual mandate in the Affordable Care Act; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, participation in a HCSM typically costs 40-65 percent less than conventional health insurance; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, for income earned in 2011, approximately 72 percent of HCSM participants were at or below 400 percent of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), including approximately 44 percent of HCSM participants were at or below 200 percent of FPL; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, when Health Savings Accounts (HSA) were established as part of the Medicare Modernization Act in December 2003, citizens opening a HSA were required to also purchase high-deductible health insurance plan; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, according to a June 2013 report from America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) Center for Policy and Research, as of January 2013, 15.5 million people in America have made HSAs their choice for health care cost support; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, according to the same report, the states with the highest HSA enrollment are Illinois, Texas, California, Ohio, and Michigan; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, according to the same report, children ages 0 to 19 comprise the largest group of lives covered by a HSA; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, another AHIP report shows that 83 percent of HSA owners have incomes that put them in the middle income class or lower; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, according to the Society of Human Resource Management, 43 percent of employers offered HSAs in 2012.<br />
<br />
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that {insert state legislature} recognizes the mutual benefit that would be created if citizens who opened a Health Savings Account would have the ability to choose between participation in a health care sharing ministry or the purchase of a high-deductible health insurance plan.<br />
<br />
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that {insert state legislature} encourages Congress to support federal legislation as necessary to create this additional health care cost support choice.<br />

<div>The '''[https://www.alec.org/model-policy/regional-health-care-coalition-act/ Regional Health Care Coalition Act]''' was discussed by the [http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/ALEC_Health_and_Human_Services_Task_Force ALEC Health and Human Services Task Force] on July 1, 2012, and again at the 2017 ALEC Annual Meeting in Denver, Colorado.<br />
<br />
==ALEC Bill Text==<br />
<br />
Summary<br />
<br />
This Act authorizes the insurance commissioner to establish a coalition of like-minded states with reciprocity agreements for the approval, offer, sale, and rating of comprehensive major medical health insurance plans. The coalition would also adopt an alternative approval process for such plans.<br />
<br />
Model Policy<br />
<br />
Section 1. Title. This Act shall be known as the “Regional Health Care Coalition Act.”<br />
<br />
Section 2. Statement of Purpose.<br />
<br />
(A) The {insert legislature} seeks to initiate cooperation of like-minded states to create a multistate coalition with reciprocity agreements for the approval, offer, sale, rating, medical underwriting, renewal, and issuance of comprehensive major medical individual and group health insurance policies.<br />
<br />
(B) The {insert legislature} recognizes that insured health policies must be filed in each state for approval and compliance with each separate state’s administrative and coverage requirements. The {insert legislature} believes that a coalition of states with consistent health insurance laws will lower development and distribution costs, making the coalition states a larger attractive market for more rapid introduction of new products and services. In addition, a multistate market with common standards will encourage new insurers to locate and initiate business in the coalition states’ market. The increased market size and common state requirements will increase competition among insurers and lower premiums.<br />
<br />
Section 3. Definitions. For the purposes of this Act, the following definition applies:<br />
<br />
(A) “Comprehensive major medical” means a plan with at least a $1 million coverage lifetime maximum; a cost sharing out-of-pocket maximum no greater than that applicable in any given year to a high deductible health plan as defined under Section 223 of the Internal Revenue Code with applicable annual indexing.<br />
<br />
Section 4. Duties of the Insurance Commissioner.<br />
<br />
(A) It shall be the duty of the Insurance Commissioner to identify at least four states with insurance laws sufficiently consistent with the laws of this state in order to create an efficient regional or multistate market.<br />
<br />
(B) The Insurance Commissioner shall be authorized to take a lead role in establishing a coalition of other states to adopt an alternative policy approval process for comprehensive major medical policies that utilize a common set of policy approval requirements among the coalition states.<br />
<br />
(C) The Insurance Commissioner shall approve for sale in {insert state} comprehensive major medical individual and group policies that have been approved for issuance under the alternative policy approval process in the coalition states where the insurer is authorized to engage in the business of insurance, so long as the insurer is also authorized to engage in the business of insurance in {insert state} and provided that any such policy meets the requirements established by the Insurance Commissioner.<br />
<br />
(D) The Insurance Commissioner shall adopt rules and regulations necessary to implement this Act.<br />
<br />
Section 5. Dispute Resolution. Any dispute resolution mechanism or provision for notice and hearing currently provided under {insert state} law shall apply to insurers issuing and delivering plans pursuant to this Act.<br />
<br />
Section 6. {Severability Clause}<br />
<br />
Section 7. {Repealer Clause}<br />
<br />
Section 8. {Effective Date}<br />
<br />

<br />
==ALEC Bill Text==<br />
<br />
Mission: To promote access, affordable health benefits, greater competition and choice, health savings, responsibility and incentives for a healthcare system that supports continuous coverage for all Americans.<br />
<br />
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is collapsing. If Congress and the Executive Branch do not repeal harmful taxes, fees and regulatory mandates, Americans will continue to lose access to health coverage and see double-digit increases in their health insurance premiums. As it stands now, one-third of the counties across the United States only have access to a single insurance carrier.<br />
<br />
We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reform the U.S. healthcare system. The increased taxes, penalties, mandates that was brought on by the Affordable Care Act has driven up premiums and reduced access to affordable health coverage since it was signed into law in 2010.<br />
<br />
Through a combination of deregulation and waiving requirements through rule-making at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and federal legislative action, ALEC supports enacting public policies that will create a patient-centered healthcare system that grants maximum authority to states in how they regulate their insurance markets, provide truly affordable healthcare, as well as reform each state’s Medicaid program.<br />
<br />
ALEC STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES ON REPEALING AND REPLACING THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT (ACA)<br />
<br />
Repeal all taxes, fees and mandates in the Affordable Care Act.<br />
<br />
The roughly one trillion dollars in new or higher taxes imposed by the ACA directly hit middle class families and small businesses, raise the cost of healthcare, and reduce access to care and should be repealed as expeditiously as possible.<br />
<br />
Give states the authority to opt-out of harmful ACA provisions that reduce access and increase the cost of care.<br />
<br />
If the ACA is not fully repealed, ensure states have the authority to opt-out of harmful provisions of the law, such as the mandatory essential health benefits, guaranteed issue; mandated preventive health services and age rating bands. And further, give states the statutory authority to freeze enrollment for the able-bodied population of the Medicaid program.<br />
<br />
Give states maximum flexibility in designing and implementing innovative reforms to their Medicaid programs.<br />
<br />
Allow states the authority to become “laboratories of democracy” in the design and implementation of their Medicaid programs. Once the federal core requirements and required health outcomes of Medicaid have been met, states should have the authority to implement cost-saving and care-improving reforms without having received explicit federal approval for each reform. Some examples of program<br />
<br />
reforms include increasing the availability and use of telemedicine, using lower cost options for transportation and incentivizing the use of community based resources to keep beneficiaries in their homes as long as possible.<br />
<br />
Repeal Medicaid Expansion.<br />
<br />
Discourage dependency on taxpayer funded entitlement programs by focusing on market-based policies that will bring down the cost of healthcare and health insurance for hard working Americans. Allowing able-bodied adults to qualify for the Medicaid program crowd’s out other state funding priorities like building schools, hiring teachers, fixing roads, supporting law enforcement, and relieving struggling businesses and families of high tax burdens discourages work and weakens the safety net for our most vulnerable populations.<br />
<br />
Repeal the enhanced match rate for the Medicaid expansion population.<br />
<br />
Preserve Medicaid for the truly vulnerable and eliminate the enhanced federal match rate for able-bodied, childless adults under the Medicaid Expansion provision of the Affordable Care Act.<br />
<br />
Allow states to choose to opt-in to either a per-capita allotment or block grant reimbursement system for Medicaid.<br />
<br />
Under a per-capita allotment or block grant reimbursement structure, states will be granted greater flexibility to manage the program with less federal interference, as well as provide increased budget predictability and control over Medicaid expenditures. And further, the Congressional Budget Office has projected enrollment declines by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ projected per capita Medicaid spending would result in an estimated $768.2 billion in federal savings between 2018 and 2026.<br />
<br />
Return states’ authority to regulate their health insurance markets.<br />
<br />
Allow states the ability to waive the Title One provisions of the ACA and opt-out of costly and harmful mandated health benefits.<br />
<br />
Market stabilization funds and protections for Individuals with pre-existing conditions.<br />
<br />
Americans fear losing their health insurance or ability to obtain or serious financial hardship if they develop a serious health problem. A state-run high risk pool or safety net program is designed to lower patient costs and stabilize state insurance markets. When in place, this will reduce the cost of providing health insurance coverage in the individual and small group markets as defined by the state, to individuals who have or are projected to have a high rate of utilization of healthcare.<br />
<br />
Allow the use of federal tax credits for working Americans and the elderly to purchase health insurance.<br />
<br />
Currently, only employers are allowed to purchase health insurance with pre-tax dollars. This is not only unfair to individuals, the self-employed, and their families, but it also fosters a dependence on employer provided health care. With tax credits, individuals would be encouraged to shop around for the best plan to meet their needs. Purchasers would become more sensitive to the price and utilization of insurance and, in effect, would spur stronger competition within the health care industry, helping to keep costs under control.<br />
<br />
Encourage the use of and remove barriers to Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Healthcare Sharing for individuals and families.<br />
<br />
HSAs provide a tax-preferred vehicle for families to set aside resources to pay for expenses not covered by insurance and individuals and families should have the option to couple with insurance to provide financial protection for major expenses. A health care sharing ministry or otherwise affiliated group is an organization that facilitates sharing of health care costs among individual members, and should be encouraged as a free-market alternative for access to healthcare in the U.S.<br />
<br />
Regulations as a last resort.<br />
<br />
When other solutions are not possible, due to the impracticality of defining rights or harnessing markets, simple and straightforward regulation can be an effective last resort. Regulation should always be simple and transparent, focusing on the particular issue and should not become an opportunity to provide favoritism to particular special interests.</div>CMDhttps://www.alecexposed.org/w/index.php?title=ALEC_Statement_of_Principles_on_Repealing_and_Replacing_the_Affordable_Care_Act_(ACA)_Exposed&diff=9462ALEC Statement of Principles on Repealing and Replacing the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Exposed2017-07-14T18:00:32Z<p>CMD: Created page with "'''[https://www.alec.org/model-policy/alec-statement-of-principles-on-repealing-and-replacing-the-affordable-care-act-aca/ ALEC's Statement of Principles on Repealing and Repl..."</p>

Return states’ authority to regulate their health insurance markets.<br />
<br />
Allow states the ability to waive the Title One provisions of the ACA and opt-out of costly and harmful mandated health benefits.<br />
<br />
Market stabilization funds and protections for Individuals with pre-existing conditions.<br />
<br />
Americans fear losing their health insurance or ability to obtain or serious financial hardship if they develop a serious health problem. A state-run high risk pool or safety net program is designed to lower patient costs and stabilize state insurance markets. When in place, this will reduce the cost of providing health insurance coverage in the individual and small group markets as defined by the state, to individuals who have or are projected to have a high rate of utilization of healthcare.<br />
<br />
Allow the use of federal tax credits for working Americans and the elderly to purchase health insurance.<br />
<br />
Currently, only employers are allowed to purchase health insurance with pre-tax dollars. This is not only unfair to individuals, the self-employed, and their families, but it also fosters a dependence on employer provided health care. With tax credits, individuals would be encouraged to shop around for the best plan to meet their needs. Purchasers would become more sensitive to the price and utilization of insurance and, in effect, would spur stronger competition within the health care industry, helping to keep costs under control.<br />
<br />
Encourage the use of and remove barriers to Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Healthcare Sharing for individuals and families.<br />
<br />
HSAs provide a tax-preferred vehicle for families to set aside resources to pay for expenses not covered by insurance and individuals and families should have the option to couple with insurance to provide financial protection for major expenses. A health care sharing ministry or otherwise affiliated group is an organization that facilitates sharing of health care costs among individual members, and should be encouraged as a free-market alternative for access to healthcare in the U.S.<br />
<br />
Regulations as a last resort.<br />
<br />
When other solutions are not possible, due to the impracticality of defining rights or harnessing markets, simple and straightforward regulation can be an effective last resort. Regulation should always be simple and transparent, focusing on the particular issue and should not become an opportunity to provide favoritism to particular special interests.</div>CMDhttps://www.alecexposed.org/w/index.php?title=Requiring_Legislative_Approval_for_Medicaid_Expansion_Act_Exposed&diff=9461Requiring Legislative Approval for Medicaid Expansion Act Exposed2017-07-14T17:55:28Z<p>CMD: Created page with "The '''[https://www.alec.org/model-policy/requiring-legislative-approval-medicaid-expansion-act/ Requiring Legislative Approval for Medicaid Expansion Act]''' was adopted by t..."</p>

<div>The '''Balanced Budget Amendment Advanced by Compact''' was adopted by ALEC's [http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/ALEC_International_Relations_Task_Force Federalism and International Relations Task Force] on September 5, 2015, finalized on November 1, 2015. (Accessed on ALEC.org, October 27, 2016).<br />
<br />
==ALEC Bill Text==<br />
<br />
Summary<br />
<br />
This model policy is the reform “payload” of a state compact for a balanced budget, which is an agreement among the states to deploy their amendment power under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. The Amendment reintroduces the States into national policy making by setting a limit on the nation’s borrowing capacity and requiring Congress to obtain the approval of a majority of state legislatures before increasing that limit. This policy feature is shared by previously adopted ALEC model policy. Additionally, to avoid games of chicken over debt limit increases, the Amendment requires the President to specify necessary spending impoundments to ensure borrowing does not exceed the debt limit (subject to simple majority Congressional override) when 98% of available borrowing capacity is used. Lastly, the Amendment closes deficits by encouraging spending reductions over revenue increases, as well as flat or fair tax reforms. It does this by imposing a supermajority requirement for new or increased sales or tax increases, while preserving the existing rule of simple majority approval for replacing the income tax with a consumption tax, for closing tax loopholes, and for new or increased tariffs or fees.<br />
<br />
<u>Section 1.</u><br />
<br />
Total outlays of the government of the United States shall not exceed total receipts of the government of the United States at any point in time unless the excess of outlays over receipts is financed exclusively by debt issued in strict conformity with this article.<br />
<br />
<u>Section 2.</u><br />
<br />
Outstanding debt shall not exceed authorized debt, which initially shall be an amount equal to 105 percent of the outstanding debt on the effective date of this article. Authorized debt shall not be increased above its aforesaid initial amount unless such increase is first approved by the legislatures of the several states as provided in Section 3.<br />
<br />
<u>Section 3.</u><br />
<br />
From time to time, Congress may increase authorized debt to an amount in excess of its initial amount set by Section 2 only if it first publicly refers to the legislatures of the several states an unconditional, single subject measure proposing the amount of such increase, in such form as provided by law, and the measure is thereafter publicly and unconditionally approved by a simple majority of the legislatures of the several states, in such form as provided respectively by state law; provided that no inducement requiring an expenditure or tax levy shall be demanded, offered or accepted as a quid pro quo for such approval. If such approval is not obtained within sixty (60) calendar days after referral then the measure shall be deemed disapproved and the authorized debt shall thereby remain unchanged.<br />
<br />
<u>Section 4.</u><br />
<br />
Whenever the outstanding debt exceeds 98 percent of the debt limit set by Section 2, the President shall enforce said limit by publicly designating specific expenditures for impoundment in an amount sufficient to ensure outstanding debt shall not exceed the authorized debt. Said impoundment shall become effective thirty (30) days thereafter, unless Congress first designates an alternate impoundment of the same or greater amount by concurrent resolution, which shall become immediately effective. The failure of the President to designate or enforce the required impoundment is an impeachable misdemeanor. Any purported issuance or incurrence of any debt in excess of the debt limit set by Section 2 is void.<br />
<br />
<u>Section 5.</u><br />
<br />
No bill that provides for a new or increased general revenue tax shall become law unless approved by a two-thirds roll call vote of the whole number of each House of Congress. However, this requirement shall not apply to any bill that provides for a new end user sales tax which would completely replace every existing income tax levied by the government of the United States; or for the reduction or elimination of an exemption, deduction, or credit allowed under an existing general revenue tax.<br />
<br />
<u>Section 6.</u><br />
<br />
For purposes of this article, “debt” means any obligation backed by the full faith and credit of the government of the United States; “outstanding debt” means all debt held in any account and by any entity at a given point in time; “authorized debt” means the maximum total amount of debt that may be lawfully issued and outstanding at any single point in time under this article; “total outlays of the government of the United States” means all expenditures of the government of the United States from any source; “total receipts of the government of the United States” means all tax receipts and other income of the government of the United States, excluding proceeds from its issuance or incurrence of debt or any type of liability; “impoundment” means a proposal not to spend all or part of a sum of money appropriated by Congress; and “general revenue tax” means any income tax, sales tax, or value-added tax levied by the government of the United States excluding imposts and duties.<br />
<br />
<u>Section 7.</u><br />
<br />
This article is immediately operative upon ratification, self-enforcing, and Congress may enact conforming legislation to facilitate enforcement.</div>CMDhttps://www.alecexposed.org/w/index.php?title=Temporary_Health_Insurance_Risk_Pool_Act&diff=9436Temporary Health Insurance Risk Pool Act2017-05-01T18:19:57Z<p>CMD: </p>

<div>The '''Temporary Health Insurance Risk Pool Act''' is a draft model policy considered by ALEC's [http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/ALEC_Health_and_Human_Services_Task_Force Health and Human Services Task Force] at the Spring Task Force Summit on May 5, 2017. Due to incomplete information, it is not known if the bill passed in a vote by legislators and lobbyists at ALEC task force meetings, if ALEC sought to distance itself from the bill as the public increased scrutiny of its pay-to-play activities, or if key operative language from the bill has been introduced by an ALEC legislator in a state legislature in the ensuing period or became binding law.<br />

BAD FAITH CLAIMS OF PATENT INFRINGEMENT<br />
<br />
DEFINITION: “End user” means a person that purchases, rents, leases or otherwise obtains a product, service or technology in the commercial market that is not for resale and that is or later becomes the subject of a patent infringement assertion due to the person’s use of the product, service or technology.<br />

BAD FAITH CLAIM OF PATENT INFRINGEMENT PROHIBITED.<br />
<br />
A person may not send to an end user located or doing business in this state a written or electronic communication that is a bad faith claim of patent infringement.<br />

The patent has been held invalid or unenforceable in a final judgment or administrative decision; or<br />
The infringing activity alleged in the communication occurred after the patent expired; or<br />
The communication is likely to materially mislead a reasonable end user because the communication does not contain information sufficient to inform the end user of:<br />
The identity of the person asserting the claim;<br />
The patent that is alleged to have been infringed; and<br />
At least one product, service or technology obtained by the end user that is alleged to infringe the patent or the activity of the end user that is alleged to infringe the patent.<br />

<br />

prohibit a person who owns or has a right to license or enforce a patent from:<br />
notifying others of the person’s ownership or right;<br />
offering the patent to others for license or sale;<br />
notifying any person of the person’s infringement of the patent as provided by 35 U.S.C. Section 287; or<br />
seeking compensation for past or present infringement of the patent or for a license to the patent.<br />

<div>The '''Resolution Regarding Property-Assessed Clean Energy Programs''' is a draft model policy considered by ALEC's [http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/ALEC_Energy,_Environment_and_Agriculture_Task_Force Energy, Environment, and Agriculture Task Force] at the Spring Task Force Summit on May 5, 2017. Due to incomplete information, it is not known if the bill passed in a vote by legislators and lobbyists at ALEC task force meetings, if ALEC sought to distance itself from the bill as the public increased scrutiny of its pay-to-play activities, or if key operative language from the bill has been introduced by an ALEC legislator in a state legislature in the ensuing period or became binding law.<br />
<br />
==ALEC Bill Text==<br />
Whereas property-assessed clean energy (PACE) is a mechanism for private property owners to finance renewable energy and energy efficiency projects; and,<br />
<br />
Whereas most PACE programs are established by municipalities by issuing bonds to fund projects; and,<br />
<br />
Whereas the financing is provided by municipalities to the property owner and paid back by the owner through an additional “assessment” to the property (i.e. an extra property tax) levied by the municipality over a set time period, potentially as long as 25 years; and,<br />
<br />
hereas PACE obligations are tied to the physical property, not the property’s owner; and,<br />
<br />
Whereas PACE assessment are treated like a tax lien and municipalities are first in line to be repaid-ahead of mortgage agencies, in case of default; and,<br />
<br />
Whereas traditionally Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have objected to the prime lien status of PACE and have refused to accept mortgages on properties with PACE liens; and,<br />
<br />
Whereas in 2016 the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) stated that “super-priority liens” created by programs like PACE “increases the risk of losses to taxpayers”; and,<br />
<br />
Whereas, the private lending industry in the U.S. is capable of financing such projects; and,<br />
<br />
Whereas, the market should provide financing for these projects, not government; and,<br />
<br />
Whereas, PACE has been associated with issues of consumer protection and predatory lending in which contractors have signed up residents for PACE who do not fully understand the conditions and the impact on their property tax bill; and,<br />
<br />
Therefore be it resolved that the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is opposed to government involvement in financing renewable and efficiency projects for private property owners; and,<br />
<br />
Therefore be it further resolved that ALEC believes the market should provide financing for these projects not government and the private lending industry in the U.S. is capable of financing such projects.</div>CMDhttps://www.alecexposed.org/w/index.php?title=Forming_Open_and_Robust_University_Minds_(FORUM)_Act&diff=9428Forming Open and Robust University Minds (FORUM) Act2017-04-24T20:42:46Z<p>CMD: Created page with "The '''Forming Open and Robust University Minds (FORUM) Act''' is a draft model policy considered by ALEC's [http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/ALEC_Education_Task_Force Edu..."</p>

<br />
WHEREAS, the state legislature views the exercise of First Amendment rights on public university campuses in this state as critical components of the education experience for students and requires that each public university in this state ensure free, robust, and uninhibited debate and deliberations by students whether on or off campus;<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, the state legislature finds that public universities in this state and elsewhere are failing to provide adequate safeguards for the First Amendment rights of their students leading to a stifling of expression on campus;<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, the Supreme Court has warned that if public universities stifle student speech and prevent the open exchange of ideas on campus, “our civilization will stagnate and die.” Sweezy v. New Hampshire, 354 U.S. 234, 250 (1957); and<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>The '''Resolution Regarding Property-Assessed Clean Energy Programs''' is a draft model policy considered by ALEC's [http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/ALEC_Energy,_Environment_and_Agriculture_Task_Force Energy, Environment, and Agriculture Task Force] at the Spring Task Force Summit on May 5, 2017.Due to incomplete information, it is not known if the bill passed in a vote by legislators and lobbyists at ALEC task force meetings, if ALEC sought to distance itself from the bill as the public increased scrutiny of its pay-to-play activities, or if key operative language from the bill has been introduced by an ALEC legislator in a state legislature in the ensuing period or became binding law.<br />
<br />
==ALEC Bill Text==<br />
Whereas property-assessed clean energy (PACE) is a mechanism for private property owners to finance renewable energy and energy efficiency projects; and,<br />
<br />
Whereas most PACE programs are established by municipalities by issuing bonds to fund projects; and,<br />
<br />
Whereas the financing is provided by municipalities to the property owner and paid back by the owner through an additional “assessment” to the property (i.e. an extra property tax) levied by the municipality over a set time period, potentially as long as 25 years; and,<br />
<br />
hereas PACE obligations are tied to the physical property, not the property’s owner; and,<br />
<br />
Whereas PACE assessment are treated like a tax lien and municipalities are first in line to be repaid-ahead of mortgage agencies, in case of default; and,<br />
<br />
Whereas traditionally Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have objected to the prime lien status of PACE and have refused to accept mortgages on properties with PACE liens; and,<br />
<br />
Whereas in 2016 the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) stated that “super-priority liens” created by programs like PACE “increases the risk of losses to taxpayers”; and,<br />
<br />
Whereas, the private lending industry in the U.S. is capable of financing such projects; and,<br />
<br />
Whereas, the market should provide financing for these projects, not government; and,<br />
<br />
Whereas, PACE has been associated with issues of consumer protection and predatory lending in which contractors have signed up residents for PACE who do not fully understand the conditions and the impact on their property tax bill; and,<br />
<br />
Therefore be it resolved that the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is opposed to government involvement in financing renewable and efficiency projects for private property owners; and,<br />
<br />
Therefore be it further resolved that ALEC believes the market should provide financing for these projects not government and the private lending industry in the U.S. is capable of financing such projects.</div>CMDhttps://www.alecexposed.org/w/index.php?title=Broadband_Deployment_Resolution_Exposed&diff=9423Broadband Deployment Resolution Exposed2017-04-24T20:26:30Z<p>CMD: </p>

<div>The '''Broadband Deployment Resolution''' was a draft model bill considered by ALEC's [http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/ALEC_Communications_and_Technology_Task_Force Communications and Information Technology Task Force] at the States and Nation Policy Summit in December, 2016. (Accessed October 27, 2016).<br />
<br />
==ALEC Bill Text==<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, it is the mission of the American Legislative Exchange Council to advance the Jeffersonian principles of free markets, limited government, federalism and individual liberty; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, ubiquitous access to fast and affordable broadband Internet access services is vital for both economic growth and civic engagement; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, America’s “Hands off the Net” approach to regulating broadband unleashed over $1.4 trillion dollars of private investment in broadband infrastructure between 1996 and 2015, supporting nearly 11 million jobs and an entirely new apps economy; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, government at all levels can adopt public policies that remove barriers to investment in broadband infrastructure, thus accelerating deployment of wholly new networks as well as upgrades to existing networks; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, debate about broadband policy too often falls into a false binary between the status quo and government-owned networks; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, there is much governments can do to promote broadband deployment without having to invest limited public funds or credit, such as cutting red tape, lowering fees and removing other barriers to private investment; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, when the private market is unable or unwilling to meet local citizens’ demand for broadband even after deployment is made easier and cheaper, government can leverage private investment in broadband infrastructure through public-private partnerships; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, public-private partnerships involve less investment of public funds or credit and less risk than government-owned networks, and have a lesser chance of causing competitive harm to the broadband market; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, government-owned networks are properly viewed as a last resort, suitable only in those places where the private sector is unable or unwilling to meet local demand for broadband, and only for so long as that demand continues to go unmet; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, assessing the adequacy of current or planned broadband deployment or of proposals for public-private partnerships requires realistic projections of consumers’ broadband demand as well as expected purely private provision of broadband in the near-term; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, the FCC’s current definition of broadband as 25 Mbps service significantly overstates present (and reasonably foreseeable) broadband usage, and thus unfairly skews assessment of current deployment; and<br />
<br />
WHEREAS, the FCC’s obsession with 1,000 Mbps (“gigabit”) service has distracted attention from significant upgrades to broadband networks and helped to feed a push for government-owned gigabit networks;<br />
<br />
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that ALEC voices its support for lawmakers and regulators who adopt broadband policies that favor market-based solutions; and<br />
<br />
BE IT RESOLVED, that governments at all levels should streamline processing of applications for permission to deploy broadband infrastructure, which requires promptly explaining why an application is not adequate once filed; adequately explaining any denial of an application so that it may be revised and resubmitted; and ensuring adequate staffing to handle new applications; and<br />
<br />
BE IT RESOLVED, that deployment of 5G wireless networks or new Fiber-to-the-Home networks will require batch processing of applications for permission from state and local governments; and<br />
<br />
BE IT RESOLVED, that fees charged for permission to deploy broadband infrastructure, and for for using public infrastructure in deployment, should be reasonable and nondiscriminatory; and<br />
<br />
BE IT RESOLVED, that extending current pole attachment rules to poles owned by governments, electrical cooperatives and railroads would ensure that broadband providers may gain access to public rights of way at just and reasonable rates; and<br />
<br />
BE IT RESOLVED, that ALEC urges lawmakers to utilize public-private partnerships and government-owned networks only to the extent that citizens’ demand for broadband is not met by the private market; and<br />
<br />
BE IT RESOLVED, that, in assessing whether citizens’ broadband demand is being effectively met by the private market, lawmakers may consider, in addition to service characteristics and availability, pricing and the extent of competition, but should bear the burden of defining a market failure through rigorous economic analysis of robust data, and not rely solely on concentration metrics to assert a lack of competition; and<br />
<br />
BE IT RESOLVED, that any proposed public-private partnership should be put out for competitive bid without preference for any favored company; focus any investment of public funds or credit in highly durable, “dumb” network elements, such as utility poles and conduits; and provide leases for all broadband providers to use public infrastructure on an open-access basis available on competitive terms; and<br />
<br />
BE IT RESOLVED, that government should exhaust all available options, including cutting red tape and utilizing public-private partnerships that focus on conduits and other “dumb” network elements” before resorting to building government-owned networks; and<br />
<br />
BE IT RESOLVED, that ALEC supports the proposal made by Commissioner Ajit Pai to have the FCC create an advisory committee to draw on expertise from state and local lawmakers as well as industry stakeholders and develop best practices for how to simplify deployment, especially of small cells, which would be recommended to states and local governments as model best practices, but not mandated; and<br />
<br />
BE IT RESOLVED, that ALEC calls on the FCC to respect limits places on its authority by Congress, as recognized by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in Tennessee v. FCC, and cease trying to interfere with how states govern their municipal subdivisions; and<br />
<br />
BE IT RESOLVED, that ALEC supports Commissioner Ajit Pai’s proposal to create Gigabit Opportunity Zones in low-income communities that meet minimum standards for streamlining broadband deployment but that currently lack high-speed broadband, so that federal incentives can encourage the deployment of high-speed networks, thus promoting economic opportunity for the nation’s most disadvantaged, particularly in urban areas; and<br />
<br />
BE IT RESOLVED, that ALEC supports, as particularly important for promoting deployment in rural areas, Congressional legislation requiring consideration as to whether deployment of broadband conduits as part of federally-funded highway projects would help stimulate deployment; and<br />
<br />
BE IT RESOLVED, that ALEC calls on the FCC to reconsider its arbitrary methodology for measuring the adequacy of broadband speeds and instead develop a methodology that is grounded in data about actual usage patterns, and that also measures the digital divide between urban and rural communities.</div>CMDhttps://www.alecexposed.org/w/index.php?title=Vehicle_Platooning_for_Safety_and_Efficiency_Act&diff=9422Vehicle Platooning for Safety and Efficiency Act2017-04-24T20:26:05Z<p>CMD: Created page with "The '''Vehicle Platooning for Safety and Efficiency Act''' is a draft model policy considered by ALEC's [http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/ALEC_Commerce,_Insurance_and_Econ..."</p>

'''Summary'''<br />
<br />
This legislation enables vehicle platooning operations. Vehicle platooning systems enhance efficiency by enabling aerodynamic drafting. While platooning, a lead vehicle is followed by one or more other vehicles at a close distance by relying on connected automated braking systems and other safety technologies, which together comprise a vehicle platooning system. This legislation will update state laws to account for this technology and will unleash innovation in the freight trucking sector, thus allowing trucking fleets to improve vehicle safety and efficiency. The legislation is relevant to legislators in 22 states (AL, AR, CA, DE, FL, IN, IA, KY, LA, ME, MI, MN, MS, MO, NJ, NM, NV, OK, TN, UT, WV, WI), whose vehicle codes include a numerical following distance rule applied generally to all vehicles or specifically to categories of vehicles such as commercial vehicles, vehicles drawing other vehicles, or motorcades/caravans. These rules prohibit vehicle following within a defined distance or time, and constrain the market adoption of safe and efficient vehicle platooning.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''VEHICLE PLATOONING FOR SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY ACT''''<br />
<br />
<u>Section 1</u> (Legislative Declarations)<br />
<br />
Subdivision 1. A vehicle platooning system electronically coordinates the speed between a lead vehicle and one or more follow vehicles, enabling them to travel safely in a unified manner at a close following distance. A vehicle platooning system relies on a connected automated braking system, which allows a following vehicle to synchronize braking with a lead vehicle through direct vehicle-to-vehicle communication.<br />
<br />
Subdivision 2. A vehicle platooning system can improve the safety of public roads by using best-in-class automated braking systems, sensors, and software, which can operate at all times to help avoid crashes.<br />
<br />
Subdivision 3. A vehicle platooning system can improve the economic competitiveness of trucking fleets by enhancing vehicle fuel efficiency. Freight trucks transport the critical goods that Americans sell, purchase, and rely on every day, and fuel often represents the largest single trucking fleet operating cost. Platooning systems can lower that cost by reducing aerodynamic drag for both lead and following vehicles when they travel safely at close following distances, thereby improving fuel efficiency.<br />
<br />
<u>Section 2</u> (Definitions)<br />
<br />
Subdivision 1. Connected Automated Braking System. Connected Automated Braking System means a system by which the braking of a lead vehicle is electronically coordinated with the braking of one or more following vehicles through vehicle-to-vehicle communication.<br />
<br />
<u>Section 3</u> (Exemption)<br />
<br />
[Insert all state following distance code sections] shall not apply to the operator of a following vehicle using a Connected Automated Braking System.</div>CMDhttps://www.alecexposed.org/w/index.php?title=Privacy_and_Encryption_Protection_Act_Exposed&diff=9421Privacy and Encryption Protection Act Exposed2017-04-24T20:20:59Z<p>CMD: </p>
