(This page includes tips from reporters, citizens journalists, and others identifying Florida bills (introduced or passed) that resemble ALEC model legislation. CMD encourages the use of this forum and encourages further detailed research to verify all claims.)
- HB 1021[1] is similar to ALEC's "Paycheck Protection Act,"[2] "Employee Rights Reform Act"[3], "Political Funding Reform Act"[4] and "Labor Organizations Deductions Act"[5][6]
- SB 436 (signed 4/26/05, Sponsor: Rep. Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala) "Castle Doctrine Act."[7] Compare to ALEC's "Castle Doctrine Act."[8] Sponsor Rep. Baxley says his bill was used as a template for the ALEC model for other states.[9]
