Bills Affecting our Water, Air, & Land

ALEC's Efforts to Rewrite Laws about Americans' Rights The bills on this page represent the efforts of ALEC corporations to undermine federal environmental standards, eliminate the ability of local governments to manage land use and zoning, and to give corporate polluters free reign to contaminate air and water. These "model bills" are drafted at American Legislative Exchange Council conventions with input from, and approval by, Big Business, then introduced in state legislatures to change the rules that conserve the environment for all Americans. Politicians are elected to represent the people, not corporations; through ALEC, corporations have both a VOICE and a VOTE on specific state laws. Do you?
