Child Relocation Notification Act Exposed

Jump to: navigation, search

The Child Relocation Notification Act is listed under ALEC's Health and Human Services Task Force and was included in the 1995 ALEC Sourcebook of American State Legislation. ALEC has attempted to distance itself from this piece of legislation after the launch of ALECexposed.org in 2011, but it has done nothing to get it repealed in the states where it previously pushed for it to be made into law.

ALEC Bill Text
