Key Findings The American Legislative Exchange Council, is remarkably powerful in Peach State politics. ALEC and its legislative leaders in the state have supported and pushed some of Georgia’s most devastating legislation. ALEC’s agenda is a combination of an arch-conservative ideology and the pecuniary interests of corporations. The resulting ALEC “model bills” that have been adopted by ALEC task forces and have advanced in Georgia have harmed the rights and opportunities of everyday citizens in the process.

• Georgia has the most ALEC Legislators of any state in the country. Seventy-one members of the legislature, all Republicans, are associated with ALEC; Georgia has by far the most of any state. Additionally, half of Georgia’s federal representatives are ALEC members or alumni.

• Georgia’s ALEC members are incredibly active in ALEC. Sen. Chip Rogers, and Rep. Casas held leadership positions in ALEC, while Sen. Judson Hill does currently. Each ALEC convention attracts a large number of Georgian legislators, numbering into the dozens. It is not known how many are attending ALEC’s 40th Annual Convention in Chicago, Aug 7-9th.

• The large number of legislators outside the limelight attracts swarms of lobbyists. Legislators have received over $140,000 in lobbyist gifts while attending ALEC conventions. In addition, ALEC has a special fund set up to avoid disclosure, called the ‘scholarship’ fund. It funnels money secretly from corporations to legislators to pay for travel, totaling more than $170,000 over only three years. And an additional $155,000 in expenditures from campaign accounts. The conflicts of interest from this torrent of cash are numerous and unconscionable. With limited financial disclosure, this report attempts to connect the dots between the corporate interests providing gobs of money to legislators.

• Georgia doesn’t have many ALEC bills; Georgia has ALEC laws. The authors of this

report lacked the capacity to identify every ALEC law enacted in Georgia. Dozens of ALEC bills have been enacted into law recently. This report highlights a selection of the ALEC bills enacted in Georgia, and expose the real world results of those policies. The results have been horrible.

• ALEC’s education policies enacted in Georgia are a catastrophe. Thanks in large part to

the efforts of Rep. Casas, Georgia has enacted ALEC’s model voucher policies, and foregone the accountability efforts that should come with such legislation to disastrous results.

• ALEC’s healthcare policies enacted in Georgia are a series of ineffective giveaways

to the insurance industry. Sen. Judson Hill has gone to great lengths to work with insurance and pharmaceutical corporations to pass whatever they want, and even had the audacity to try to make these models for the nation. These policies are failures, not models. Georgia has the fifth highest percentage of people who lack health insurance.1

• ALEC’s brand of crony capitalism has produced bills to rig the legal system for corporations,

prevent capitalist competition, and even outsourced the design of tax plans to ALEC and its corporate allies.

ALEC’s Annual Meeting, August 7th-9th, is its 40th, and ALEC is celebrating its long and influential legacy. In Georgia we live with that legacy, and know ALEC is nothing to celebrate.

About ALEC The American Legislative Exchange Council, or “ALEC” is a Washington, DC, based group funded almost entirely by corporations, corporate linked foundations, big business associations, insurance companies, and the super-rich. ALEC was formed in 1973 by a group of conservative activists who came together to advance a national right-wing agenda in state legislatures across the country. ALEC says it has more than 300 corporate and 2,000 (mostly Republican) state legislative members. These members who work outside of the public view to approve ‘model’ legislation and to promote a right-wing national agenda that is designed in many ways to increase corporate profits at the public expense. ALEC’s known corporate funders have included: (See the full list via alecexposed.org ) Altria eBay Pfizer Anheuser-Busch NA Eli Lilly Shell Oil AstraZeneca ExxonMobil State Farm Insurance AT&T Farmer’s Group T-Mobile Bayer Corp FedEx Takeda Pharmaceutical BP K12 Inc. Time Warner Cable Bridgepoint America Koch Industries UnitedHealthcare Celgene Marathon Oil UPS CenturyLink Microsoft Verizon Chevron News Corp.

HOW ALEC WORKS

Legislators and corporate lobbyists gather together at ALEC conferences, often held at luxury resorts, away from the public eye. The legislators bring home model bills, many of which were written by the corporations themselves, designed to help the corporate bottom line. The People of Georgia have nothing to do with the process, and are entirely shut out of the closed-door meetings at which the legislation is voted on.

These conventions are often family vacations, where legislators bring their families to visit travel destinations like Hilton Head, Coeur D’Allene, or San Diego. Frequently legislators are unable to afford such luxury, so willing lobbyists and special interests are eager to pick up the tab for lawmakers. ALEC spends more than half a million dollars each year to pay for legislators travel,2 with the money coming from pharmaceutical companies, oil giants and other multinational firms. These payments from lobbyists and special interests can cumulate to thousands of dollars and are barred in 4 states, yet often the transactions are not disclosed to the public as gifts or reimbursements by firms with lobbying interests. In some states, lawmakers are able to wrangle the state into paying for their trips to ALEC resort meetings, forcing the taxpayer to pick up the tab for the lawmakers’ luxury trips to meet with corporate lobbyists through ALEC. At ALEC conventions, corporate special interests vote as a separate body, held equal with legislators in ALEC task force meetings. Lobbyists and legislators both propose ‘model’ bills, and both groups vote whether to adopt the ‘model.’ If the special interests don’t approve of a bill, they can vote it down, and

this has happened. ALEC’s legislative leaders are tasked under ALEC’s public bylaws with getting the bills introduced into law. Many ALEC legislators introduce the corporate-authored ALEC bills in their state legislatures as verbatim copies of the ALEC ‘models’ but without any reference to ALEC’s role. The ALEC business model is incredibly effective. ALEC’s former Executive Director bragged, “With our success rate at more than 20 percent, I would say that ALEC is a good investment. Nowhere else can you get a return that high.”3 According to ALEC documents, in 115 pieces of ALEC legislation were passed in the 2010 legislative session;4 this is the last publically available copy of their ‘scorecard.’ ALEC’s effect increased after the 2010 elections, and as this report demonstrates, ALEC remains a major player in the state legislature. ALEC is not elected, yet it has had more voice in what is happening in our states and country than many voters do. By creating ‘model’ legislation and using friendly legislators, the people's voice is removed from the process as corporations take control of our state government. And, too often, ALEC bills are pushed through legislatures, with ALEC legislative leaders in control, in ways that demonstrate disinterest or hostility to the will of the people, in favor of a desire to enact ALEC agenda items as quickly as possible, as we have seen in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and North Carolina.

The Money Trail Campaign Finances Perhaps it is most fitting that many ALEC legislators use their campaign accounts to finance their excursions to meet with lobbyists and corporate donors at ALEC. At least $155,626.56 in campaign funds have been spent on ALEC. Additionally, ALEC has transferred at least $11,171.45 to campaign committees. Only one of these transactions has been denoted as a reimbursement, the nature of the other transactions remains clouded. Campaign funds seem mostly to have been used for airfare and lodging, membership fees and registration. It is not known how much additional spending has been hidden through committees reimbursing persons for costs without disclosing what the funds were spent on. Even so, campaign finance is likely the most appropriate means of financing junkets to ALEC, and has significantly better disclosure than other mechanisms. ALEC ‘Scholarships’ In Georgia Georgia is one of three states that do not restrict lobbyist gifts to legislators, the first restrictions will take effect for 2014.484 485 Georgia lawmakers also use their campaign committees to pay for ALEC conferences. Yet Georgian lawmakers often use the Georgia ALEC ‘scholarship’ account to pay for ALEC travel. Between 2006 and 2008 the ALEC scholarship account spent over $170,000.00, presumably on travel for Georgian legislators. The ‘scholarship’ account differs from both campaign accounts, and lobbyist expenditures, in that the scholarship transactions are not disclosed. This is deliberate. The November/December 2008 issue of the ALEC magazine ‘Inside ALEC,’ announced the implementation of an Elections and Ethics subcommittee of an ALEC task force, opening the ALEC forum to sponsor ethics legislation. The issue included an article by the Policy Coordinator of that subcommittee decrying Colorado ethics reforms that banned gifts over $50 to legislators, prohibited ALEC scholarships, and noted that ALEC was able to find a loophole for the Colorado ALEC State Chair. The article concluded, “That is why it is important for organizations such as ALEC to provide the opportunity for legislators to discuss the best ways to ensure integrity in government.”486 In 2009 and 2010, Georgian state legislators undertook an overhaul of ethics regulations. As the bill passed the Senate, it made no alterations to the section of law that applied to the disclosure of lobbyist expenditures. Speaker Ralston, an active ALEC member, carried the legislation. The bill changed significantly in the House Ethics committee. Six ALEC members were on the committee, comprising a majority of the committee.487 The committee added an amendment allowing the “Reimbursement or payment of actual and reasonable expenses… for a meeting which is provided to a public officer to permit such public officer's participation in such meeting.” This would allow for the ALEC scholarships to be legal, as a carved out exemption. On the house floor, Speaker Ralston offered an amendment, which was adopted, to require the disclosure of “reimbursement or payment of actual and reasonable expenses provided to a public officer,”488 and this is the language that is law.489 While this language would seem to require the disclosure of thousands of dollars of money being spent by special interests like oil giant BP, or pharmaceutical giant Novartis to fund legislators’ trips, it does not.

The law is carefully and delicately written to avoid public disclosure. The law is written that disclosure is required of contributions ‘to public officers’ for the expenses of ‘such public officers.’490 To fund these ‘scholarships’ corporations send money to the scholarship account, which is controlled by the State Chair of ALEC.491 While these payments are made ‘for’ legislators’ expenses, but not ‘to’ those specific legislators, the ‘scholarship’ funds are sent through an intermediary to launder the payments and avoid disclosure, which may well be why the transactions are legal. Speaker Ralston, an active ALEC member, championed this so-called ethics reform, and left a massive loophole allowing for ALEC members to benefit from thousands and thousands of dollars in shadow. For the 2013 legislative session, Speaker Ralston again proposed a package of ethics ‘reforms.’ He was widely lauded for trying to end the culture of ‘Fancy steak dinners and box seats to ballgames paid for by lobbyists’.492 The Speaker declared, “It is vital that we as public servants always strive to earn and hold the trust of the public. We do that by enacting true and complete reform of our ethics laws, and avoiding gimmicks cloaked as reform by those that seek a platform and relevance.”493 Yet in both the Speaker’s introduced version, and the new law, the ALEC loophole remains. The Center for Media and Democracy acquired data on ALEC’s ‘scholarship’ funds for 2006-2008, and reported the balance sheets of Georgia’s ‘scholarship’ fund.494 The full data can be found in the appendices of this report.

Lobbyist Financed Excursions

“We are going to continue as we do under current law, reimbursement for actual and reasonable travel expenses for members to attend conferences and meetings. I believe those meetings are important, because that’s one time that we don’t see registered lobbyists.” 495 -Speaker Ralston, introducing ethics legislation, January, 2013

ALEC conventions are also lobbyist conventions. Inside the convention, lobbyists join legislators at the table and vote on bills. The conventions don’t occupy 24 hours of each day, so lobbyists are able to take advantage of legislators being available, and invisible to the Georgian public. Not only are lobbyists from ALEC member corporations present and paying, but a symbiotic herd of lobbyists that have no known affiliation with ALEC attend the conventions for access to legislators far from public scrutiny in Georgia. Between 2006 and the present day, lobbyists have spent a total of $141,554.73 on legislators attending ALEC conventions. ALEC conventions occurred for a total of 69 days during that period, meaning lobbyists spent roughly two thousand dollars per day for ALEC conventions. During conventions, lobbyists bought:

• Numerous rounds of golf. • A suite for a Chicago Cubs baseball game. The game began at 1:20pm.496 • Tours of San Diego harbor. • Tickets to the ‘Second City’ comedy shows. • Tickets to the San Diego Zoo.

It seems there are numerous instances in which legislators have skipped portions of the ALEC convention in order to rake in lobbyist gifts. But the highlights of the lobbying expenditures are the ‘State Nights,’ where the Georgia ALEC delegation meets for a lobbyist paid banquet. Expenditures vary, with the highest being a reported $6,524.60 in expenditures for the delegation dinner in July 2007. These expenditures are rarely attributed to a politician, in order to obfuscate the target of the lobbying and hide ALEC’s membership. More than half of the lobbying expenditures connected with ALEC convention attendees are not attributed to a politician. The sheer amount of lobbying expenditures that surround Georgia’s Legislators at ALEC conferences is staggering. Below is a list of the entities that spent the most surrounding ALEC conventions. Top Lobbing Associations By Expenditures 1. Georgia Hospital Association $10,620.79 2. Georgia Power Company $10,140.92 3. Georgia Public Strategies, Inc. $8,308.52 4.

Issues And Bills

Education

ALEC’s School Voucher Bills In Georgia ALEC established a “School Choice Subcommittee” in 2004, headed by several legislators and K12 Inc., Connections Academy, The Friedman Foundation, the Alliance for School Choice, and the Institute of Justice. The subcommittee’s first bills included four bills establishing direct vouchers, including the Special Needs Scholarship Program Act.498 ALEC’s model bill is based off Florida’s McKay scholarship program. 499 The McKay scholarship program has been wrought with problems, including the inability to analyze whether the participants are achieving greater academic growth than like counterparts in public schools, and rampant fraud, with hurdles for the state to identify and combat fraud. 500 501 502 As a group of ProgressNow states, including Better Georgia, reported on ALEC’s educational policies being geared toward the pecuniary interests of corporations. Recognizing that not ever state would be able to pass a large voucher system, ALEC has presented an array of bills to advance small school voucher programs. Some of these bills use a foot-in-the-door technique, appealing to the heartstrings in order to advance an agenda to privatize education. Georgia is a textbook example of the foot-in-the-door nature of these proposals. In 2007 the Georgia Legislature passed a version of the ‘Special Needs Scholarship Program Act,’ providing vouchers to children with disabilities. In 2011, Sen. Chip Rogers, an original ‘author’ of the 2007 act attempted to include foster children and the children of military families in the program. These bills show a gradualist drive to privatize education in Georgia. 2007 SB 10 As Introduced ALEC Model “Special Needs Scholarship

ALEC’s Voucher Tax Credits In Georgia ALEC established a “School Choice Subcommittee” in 2004, headed by several legislators and K12 Inc., Connections Academy, The Friedman Foundation, the Alliance for School Choice, and the Institute of Justice. The subcommittee passed the ‘Great Schools Tax Credit Program’ and the ‘Family Education Tax Credit Program,’ both bills which establish tax credits for ALEC explicitly thanked Robert Enlow of the Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice for his vision and work crafting the model bills.503 ALEC’s ‘Great Schools Tax Credit Program Act’ attempts to indirectly use state tax subsidies to finance private education. The model establishes a tax credit for parents or corporations that donate to an organization that provide scholarships to students to attend private schools. Instead of directly subsidizing private education at the expense of public education, the ALEC model would do so indirectly. Yet the ALEC model notes:

The definition for an eligible student in this model legislation includes students presently enrolled in a private school. Drafted this way, the tax credit will necessarily reward many families who are already financing their child's education at a non-resident public school or a private school. For this reason some states with a scholarship tax credit program have chosen to place a cap on the total dollar amount of scholarships eligible for the tax credit. Alternatively, legislators wishing to draft a bill with a more modest fiscal impact may want to limit eligibility to students who attended a public school in the last year or are starting school in their state for the first time. In this case, there may actually be a savings for state taxpayers since a scholarship covering private school costs in many cases will be less than the cost of state support provided to students attending a public school.504

These notes indicate that the authors deliberately wrote the ALEC model to be less accountable than state voucher programs, and acknowledge that the bill is likely to be a tax-giveaway to those already attending private schools, rather than allowing new students to attend private schools, and does so by depleting resources that could have funded public education. Georgia Representative David Casas was named ALEC’s Legislator of the Year in 2008, for his successful sponsorship of the Georgia Tuition Tax Credit.505 HB 1133 was a virtually verbatim copy of ALEC’s Great Schools Tax Credit. Representative Casas teamed up with ALEC member Representatives Earl Ehrhart, Ed Lindsey, Jeff Lewis, John Lundsford, pass the bill. As the bill was heard in committee, Rep. Casas claimed that this bill was not considered a voucher bill, and did not detract from public funds.506 The intent of the bill, legislators argued, was to provide opportunity to children in Georgia to escape struggling public schools.507 The reality, of course, was quite different. The bill is a $50million expenditure for the state of Georgia, seemingly to allow new students to attend private schools.508 Yet, according to a study by the Southern Education Foundation, between 2007 and 2009 enrollment at Georgia’s private schools between 2007 and 2009 increased by one third of one percent. The credit was enacted, and costs the state of Georgia millions, yet there has been negligible impact. Rep. Casas was warned. As noted above, the ALEC drafting notes point out that the credit would reward those that already attended private schools, and to ALEC’s credit, proposed possibilities to avoid that outcome. Rep. Casas did not simply overlook the issues Georgia is experiencing; rather the bill was deliberately drafted this way. According to the New York Times, Rep. Casas deliberately drafted the bill using “enrolled” rather than “attending” to promote the credit among those already in private schools.509 503 ALEC.org, archived by archive.org, 02/04/05 504 alec.org, accessed 05/16/13 505Press Release, Rep.

Georgians have been able to ‘enroll’ their child in a public school, without any intention to attend that school, in order to receive the tax credit.510 Parents asked Rep. Casas, “Aren’t people going to say that’s a scam?” Rep. Casas responded, “feel fine about it.”511 Rep. Casas received the ALEC Legislator of the Year award for burdening his state with a $50million per year expenditure for which Georgia sees virtually zero benefit. And this was done deliberately. In February, 2011, Rep. Casas and Rep. Ehrhart introduced HB 325, which passed on the last day of session, expanding the credit, and making it criminal to disclose any collected information regarding the credit, even an audit of a ‘scholarship’ provider.512 In 2011 Rep. Casas was named the Chair of ALEC’s Education Task Force.513 2008 HB 1133 As Introduced ALEC Model Great Schools Tax Credit

(A) Administrative Accountability Standards. All scholarship granting organizations shall: (5) ensure that at least 90 percent of their revenue from donations is spent on educational scholarships, and that all revenue from interest or investments is spent on educational scholarships; (6) spend each year a portion of their expenditures on scholarships for low-income eligible students equal to the percentage of low-income eligible students in the county where the scholarship granting organization expends the majority of its scholarships; (7) ensure that at least X percent of first-time recipients of educational scholarships were not continuously enrolled in a private school during the previous year; (10) publicly report to the Department by June 1 of each year the following information prepared by a certified public accountant regarding their grants in the previous calendar year: (1) notify the Department of their intent to provide educational scholarships to students attending qualifying schools;

ALEC’s Virtual Education In Georgia ALEC established a “School Choice Subcommittee” in 2004, headed by several legislators and K12 Inc., Connections Academy, The Friedman Foundation, the Alliance for School Choice, and the Institute of Justice. One of the first bills the sub-committee drafted was the virtual public schools act. ALEC explicitly gave credit to Mickey Revenaugh of Connections Academy and Bryan Flood of K12 Inc. for helping write the Virtual Schools Act.514 ALEC’s Virtual Public Schools Act is a vaguely written bill to allow virtual schools into states on equitable footing with public schools. The bill seems to provide for a charter-like arrangement for virtual schools, exempting them from certain requirements. Providing equitable funding without equitable responsibilities provides a financial advantage for virtual schools. Numerous independent studies have cast doubt on the efficacy of virtual education, while industry led studies have shown some modest successes. The US department of education has lamented the lack of studies on virtual education, and noted that the greatest advantage in educational outcomes was greatest when face-to-face schools were augmented with the resources to utilize virtual resources.515 In Georgia, the ‘simple version’ of the ALEC model was introduced and passed in 2005.516 The first virtual school in Georgia was Georgia Cyber Academy, run by K12 Inc.517 The Senate, in 2012, passed a bill sponsored by Sen. Chip Rogers, requiring students to take one online course as a requirement to graduate. Sen. Rogers, who was at the time the State Chair of ALEC,518 was also a board member of the Foundation for Excellence in Education.519 The Foundation for Excellence in Education is both a member of ALEC, 520 and funded by K12 Inc. 521 Despite failing its most recent measure of AYP, K12 Inc.’s Georgia Cyber Academy has expanded to more than 6,500 students. 522 2005 SB 610 As Introduced ALEC Model Virtual Public Schools Act and that nothing in this Code section shall preclude the use of computer and Internet based instruction for students in a virtual or remote setting;

Health Care

ALEC’s Worst Practices: Copy and Paste Healthcare Credit In February 2012, Sen. Judson Hill introduced SB 475. The bill gained no other sponsors, and was never heard in committee. Sen. Hill did succeed in arrange for the bill to be heard at the ALEC convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, where it passed as an ALEC model.523 The bill was developed by a ‘coalition’ effort anticipating the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare.524 This coalition included the Tea Party Patriots, Alliant Healthcare, BlueCross Blue Shield, the Koch brothers’ Americans for Prosperity, was organized by the Georgia Public Policy Foundation which has ties to the Koch financed States Policy network. 525 With input from these groups, Sen. Hill produced a bill proposing a tax credit to reward donations to ‘charity health organizations.’ This was not a new idea in Georgia, nor was the language even new. As shown below, Sen. Hill’s bill mirrored the voucher credit as introduced by Rep. Casas. The voucher credit is a stunning failure as a measure of public policy. As discussed in its own section, the credit is a $50 million expenditure for the State of Georgia, and since enacting of the credit attendance at private schools in Georgia increased by around one third of one percent. Despite the bill’s intent, the education credit’s real-world result was a tax-giveaway, with no significant effect on education. The healthcare bill by Sen. Hill copied failure. As Sen. Hill brought the bill to ALEC to become a model, it is obviously a verbatim comparison with the ALEC model. Below is a comparison between Sen. Hill’s credit, and the bill it was based off of, 2008 HB 1133; that bill is covered in its own section on Georgia’s voucher credit. 2012 SB 475 As Introduced 2008 HB 1133 As Introduced (b) An individual taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the tax imposed by this chapter for qualified charity health care expenses as follows: (1) In the case of a single individual or a head of household, the actual amount expended or $1,000.00 per tax year, whichever is less; or (2) In the case of a married couple filing a joint return, the actual amount expended or $2,500.00 per tax year, whichever is less.

ALEC’s Worst Practices: Health Insurance In 2007, Senator Judson Hill was interviewed regarding his impending push on reforming Georgia’s healthcare system. Sen. Hill said the support of the public was “overwhelming” and decried special interests, stating, “some special-interest groups with a vested financial interest in the status quo oppose it or are cautious.”526 Yet, Senator Judson Hill became a member of ALEC before be became a member of the Senate.527 His bill was crafted with the assistance of Former Speaker Gingrich and his ‘Center for Health Transformation.’ 528 Speaker Gingrich has strong ties to ALEC, having assisted in writing the ALEC 1983 sourcebook, as well as regularly attending ALEC meetings.529 530 And the now defunct CHT was funded by numerous ALEC funding healthcare corporations including: AstraZeneca, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cancer Treatment Centers of America, GE Healthcare, GlaxoSmithKline, Novo Nordisk, and United Healthgroup.531 With Sen. Hill collaborating with insurance and pharmaceutical corporations, is not clear which “special-interest groups with a vested financial interest in the status quo” he was referring to. Sen. Hill and his corporate allies crafted the legislation, which was introduced in 2007 as SB 28, and again in 2008 as SB 383. SB 383 quickly passed the legislature, and was signed into law in May. By July, the bill was approved as an ALEC model.532 Even when adopting bills from legislators, the ALEC model was heavily influenced by corporations. But adopting corporate influenced model legislation is ALEC’s mission. What is more striking about this case is that the bill was a colossal failure. Governor Purdue, Senator Hill, and Speaker Gingrich’s CHT all claimed this legislation would increase the number of those insured; CHT estimated that 500,000 more Georgians would become insured.533 The reality was the opposite. 319,000 more people were uninsured in the years after the bill’s passage than the years before the bill. Even in the global recession, the number of uninsured increased in Georgia faster than the nation as a whole, and more than three times the average rise in the rest of the South.534 Again, ALEC bills model policy failure, but reward ALEC’s corporate members and allies. 2008 SB 383 As Passed ALEC’s Model ‘Affordable Health Insurance

ALEC’s Worst Practices: Tax Cuts For Insurance Companies The July, 2007 ALEC convention in Philadelphia was a good time for then-State-Representative Tom Graves. Rep. Graves, his wife, and daughter attended the convention, and received a free dinner at a high-end New York style steakhouse on July 25th.535 On the 27th, Rep. Graves took in some golf, paid for by lobbyists.536 And in the evening, he and his family attended the ‘ALEC Georgia Night Dinner,’537 a reception paid for by lobbyists with a total reported cost of $6,524.60. Of course, costs were also covered by Rep. Graves campaign account,538 and the ALEC scholarship account. Returning to Athens, Rep. Graves was one of five Representatives to introduce HB 1087; all five have known associations with ALEC. The provisions of the bill were amended into HB977, which was signed into law, barely modified from its original text. In July, 2008, the bill was approved as ALEC model legislation. At that convention, which Rep. Graves attended, legislators were treated to a suite at a Chicago Cubs game, dinners at lavish restaurants, and more golf (see the lobbying appendix for details). The bill exempted insurers from premium taxes on high deductible plans, gave businesses a credit for paying for high deductible plans, and provided a deduction for individual premium payments. 67 percent of the benefit for this bill went to insurance corporations, 30 percent went to businesses, and three percent to individuals, while costing the state government, and local governments millions. 539 HB 977 was supposed to be complimentary with SB 383, and help insure half a million more Georgians.540 541 The reality was the opposite. 319,000 more people were uninsured in the years after the bill’s passage than the years before the bill. Even in the global recession, the number of uninsured increased in Georgia faster than the nation as a whole, and more than three times the average rise in the rest of the South.542 Yet again, the ALEC modeled policy failure, but a tremendous benefit to its corporate members and allies.

ALEC’s Bill To Lower Healthcare Standards

The 2012 Elections saw a great debate over the method of lowering healthcare costs. One solution supported by Speaker Boehner, Rep. Gingrey, and Governor Romney was to allow people to buy health insurance across state lines.543 ALEC had promulgated this policy for years, first adopting a model designed to achieve this in 2007.544 In 2011 the Georgia Legislature passed HB 47, which Governor Deal signed into law. ALEC commended Governor Deal and the legislature for passing the legislation, based on the ALEC model. The bill allows insurance companies to sell policies below Georgia’s standards. As ALEC explained, the bill would allow companies to sell policies that meet Alabama’s standards, but not Georgia’s.545 Georgia makes sure that all insurance policies pay for mammograms, prostate cancer screenings, and adequate hospital stays for new mothers and their babies. The ALEC bill is an attempt to allow insurance to be sold without covering things the State has said are necessary.546 As of June 2012, the bill was in effect, yet no insurance companies wrote policies using the law. 547 Insurance Commissioner and ALEC associate Ralph Hudgeons was flabbergasted, “Nobody has even asked to be approved to sell across state lines… We’re dumbfounded. We are absolutely dumbfounded. … I’m really surprised because it was such a bumper sticker issue by Republicans saying if we could get across state line selling, we could reduce the cost of health care.”548 2011 HB 47 ALEC Model Health Care Choice Act For

ALEC’s Plan To End Medicare In Georgia The Health Care Compact is a drive to abolish all federal health care programs; not only the Affordable Care Act, but Medicaid and Medicare as well.549 The bill’s objective is to abolish federal control, yet continue to have the federal government tax the same, and provide the funding in a block grant to the states; an extremely unlikely prospect.

Immigration and Guns

ALEC’s Draconian Immigration Bill In Georgia HB 87 mirrors ALEC’s No Sanctuary Cities for Illegal Immigrants Act, upon which the controversial 2010 SB1070 law in Arizona was based. The ALEC model No Sanctuary Cities for Illegal Immigrants Act, reportedly drafted by former Arizona Senator Russell Pearce and current Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, was a product of ALEC’s notorious Public Safety and Elections Task Force.551 NPR reported that Corrections Corporation of America, a private prison company, expected significant revenues from the detention of illegal immigrants, and participated in the meeting in which the proposal became an ALEC model.552 Corrections Corporation of America has 6 facilities in Georgia.553 This same task force also promoted controversial Voter ID legislation, as well as the NRA sponsored Stand Your Ground model bill. Facing public pressure, ALEC claimed to have removed this task force in April 2012, but has since resurrected the task force with a different name.554 Portions of the Arizona law have been struck down by the United States Supreme Court,555 and the legal battle continues.556 2011 HB 87 ALEC’s Model ‘No Sanctuary Cities For

Illegal Immigrants Act’ provided, however, that a person who is a legal resident of this state and at least 21 years of age may file a cause of action for injunctive or other equitable relief against any official or agency of this state or subdivision of this state for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this Code section or preventing a violation of federal immigration law. Such action shall be filed in the superior court of the county having jurisdiction of the agency's headquarters or where the violation is alleged to have occurred. If there is a judicial finding that an agency or official of an agency has violated or failed to abide by the provisions of this Code section or federal immigration law, the court shall order the agency to conform to the requirements of the law and shall assess against the agency a fine of not less than $1,000.00 or more than $5,000.00 for each separate violation. The court shall collect the civil penalty and remit the civil penalty for payment to any local law enforcement agency within the court's jurisdiction for the purpose of training such agency's law enforcement officers in matters related to the enforcement of immigration law. In addition, the court shall award all court costs and reasonable attorney fees to any person that prevails by an adjudication on the merits in a proceeding brought pursuant to this Code section."

(F) A person may bring an action in superior court to challenge any official or agency of this state or county, city, town or other political subdivision of this state that adopts or implements a policy that limits or restricts the enforcement of federal immigration laws to less than the full extent permitted by federal law. If there is a judicial finding that an entity has violated this section, the court shall order any of the following: (1) That the person who brought the action recovers court costs and attorney fees. (2) That the entity pay a civil penalty of not less than an amount equal to one thousand dollars and not more than an amount equal to five thousand dollars for each day that the policy has remained in effect after the filing of an action pursuant to this subsection. (G) A court shall collect the penalty prescribed in subsection F of this section and remit the penalty to the Department of Public Safety, which shall establish a special subaccount for the monies in the account established for the Gang and Immigration Intelligence Team Enforcement Mission Appropriation. Monies in the special subaccount are subject to legislative appropriation for distribution for Gang and Immigration Enforcement and for county jail reimbursement costs relating to illegal immigration.

ALEC’s Kill At Will Bill In Georgia ALEC’s model ‘Castle Doctrine’ bill, otherwise known as the ‘Stand Your Ground’, ‘Shoot First’, or ‘Kill at Will’ bill, is perhaps ALEC’s most infamous model bill. In the spring of 2012, George Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin, an unarmed teenager who was returning to his father’s home having been out to buy some candy and an iced tea. Police did not initially arrest Zimmerman, apparently invoking Florida’s 2005 Stand Your Ground law as an obstacle to arrest or prosecution. More than six weeks after the incident, following significant local and national outrage, Zimmerman was finally charged with murder. As the Center for Media and Democracy documented, the National Rifle Association helped draft the Florida Stand Your Ground law, which the NRA’s lobbyist then proposed as an ALEC model bill during an ALEC conference in Texas in 2005.557 ALEC adopted the bill, and since then more than two dozen other states have passed similar laws.558 The results of this law throughout the states are disturbing. The Savannah Morning News noted that the laws help allow drug dealers and gang members to walk three, confuses judges, and that in a third of cases, defendants initiated the altercation.559 Researchers have found that states with such laws have more homicides than states without; a 7-9% increase, totaling an additional 500-700 people who are killed in states with these laws as opposed to the states without them.560 These are not statistics, these are tragedies. 2006 SB 396 As Introduced ALEC’s Model ‘Castle Doctrine Act’ "16-3-23.1. A person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity and who is attacked in any place where he or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or to another."

Taxes

ALEC’s Tax Plans In Georgia The marquee publication heralding ALEC’s tax and economic policies is the annual ‘Rich States Poor States’ report. The report is intended to rank states on their adherence to the ALEC policy line, which will supposedly predict growth, but predictably fails to do so.561 The ALEC report actually even ranks states on how regressive their tax systems are, rewarding those states that tax the poor more than the rich, and rewarding those states that don’t tax corporations. This makes sense, since according to ALEC’s tax filings, ALEC received 98% of its funding from corporations.562 Georgian plans for massive tax cuts were lauded by ALEC in the late 2000’s. ALEC’s 2007 ‘Rich States Poor States’ report lauded then-Speaker Richardson’s tax plan for abolishing all taxes, except for a flat income and sales tax. This plan would have eliminated insurance taxes, estate taxes, cut the top marginal income tax to benefit the rich, ended the corporate income tax, a boon to ALEC’s membership. Of course the ALEC report also highlighted that, “Georgia is now considering a fl at tax devised by one of us (Laffer).”563 Thankfully, the bill, HR900, went nowhere. Yet ALEC’s tax policies came back the next legislature. Rep. Tom Graves authored HB 481 in 2009, a massive series of tax cuts for businesses, including eliminating the corporate income tax. In the ALEC magazine, ‘Inside ALEC’, Rep. Graves wrote of HB 481, “Many of these ideas are based on ALEC Model Legislation.”564 After the article was written, HB 481 was amended to add a massive capital gains tax cut, similar to ALEC’s ‘Capital Gains Tax Elimination Act.’ Seventy seven percent of the benefits of Rep. Graves would have gone to the top one percent of Georgians.565 The plan would have increased the deficit to $3.1 billion by 2012.566 While benefiting mainly the rich, and exploding the deficit, these ALEC Model policies were a massive giveaway for the rich and corporations. Thankfully, Governor Perdue vetoed the measure, decrying the “drastic cuts” that would be necessary to pay for these tax cuts.567 ALEC described this veto as “one of the worst vetoes of the year.”568 For his sponsorship of the bill, Rep. Graves was named ALEC ‘Legislator of the Year.’569

ALEC’s Autopilot Tax Cuts Bill In Georgia Senate Resolutions 438 and 594 are nearly identical if not verbatim copies. They are versions of the ALEC model “Tax and Expenditure Limitation Act” an ill conceived bill to hamstring future legislatures from adjusting to future situations. The bill is a corporate approved constitutional amendment, seeking to make all tax or spending increases subject to a super-majority vote. This is creating a super-filibuster for budget bills; similar provisions in California have created unending fiscal gridlock, where an extreme minority can stymie the will of the majority entirely. The bill also makes it incredibly difficult to adjust to unknown future needs and concerns. In order to impose an extremist ideology and prevent the possibility that in the future taxes may increase, legislators are pushing a corporate sponsored amendment to the Georgia Constitution. Both resolutions, as introduced, are interestingly named the Taxpayer Protection Amendment of 2011, despite being introduced in 2013. This typo seems harmless, and humorous, but it shows the literal copy and paste nature of ALEC legislation. A Representative in Florida introduced an ALEC bill without removing the ALEC mission statement.570 A Missouri Senator incorrectly edited an ALEC bill, leaving “[Insert State]” were it was not supposed to be.571 This shows that in certain cases, the legislator is not even reading the bill they ‘authored.’ SR 594 As Introduced ALEC’s Model ‘Tax and Expenditure

Limitation Act’ Paragraph I. Definitions. As used in this article, the term: (1) 'Annual population change' means the most recent available annual percentage change in population for the State of Georgia.

Paragraph II. Spending limits. For any fiscal year that commences on or after July 1, 2015, the fiscal year spending as determined by the revenue estimate under Article III, Section IX , Paragraph IV(b) shall not exceed the greater of: (1) The fiscal year spending for any previous fiscal year; or (2) The immediately preceding fiscal year spending adjusted for state government inflation and annual population change.

(A) For any fiscal year that commences on or after ____ the maximum annual percentage change in state fiscal year spending equals inflation plus the percentage change in state population in the prior calendar year, adjusted for revenue changes approved by voters as required in section 1 of this Act. Population shall be determined by annual federal census estimates and such number shall be adjusted every decade to match the federal census.

Paragraph III. Excess revenues. For any fiscal year that commences on or after July 1, 2015, if revenue from sources not excluded from total state revenues exceeds the limit on total state fiscal year spending calculated in accordance with Paragraph II of this section, for that fiscal year the excess shall be appropriated by vote of the General Assembly and shall first fund increases due to student enrollment for local school systems, then excess revenues shall be used for any combination of one or more of: (1) Transfer to the Revenue Shortfall Reserve to the extent necessary to ensure that the fund balance is equal to 15 percent of the fiscal year spending for the previous fiscal year; and (2) Retirement of existing state general obligation debt. In any year in which the Revenue Shortfall Reserve is greater than 15 percent of the fiscal year spending for the previous fiscal year, the state income tax rate shall be reduced by one-quarter of 1 percent.

(A) If the amount of total state revenue for the prior fiscal year exceeds the amount of total state revenue for the next preceding fiscal year, the maximum amount of total state revenues shall be the lesser of the amount of total state revenue for the prior state fiscal year or the amount of total state revenues limit for the prior fiscal year plus the product of the applicable amount and the sum of inflation and the percentage change in state population in the prior calendar year.

In no event shall such expenditures be included in the computation of the limitation imposed by Paragraph II of this section for any other year.

(B) Monies in the state emergency reserve cash fund may be expended for declared emergencies only. ‘Emergency’ means an extraordinary event or occurrence that could not have been reasonably for-seen or prevented and that requires immediate expenditures to preserve the health, safety, and general welfare of the people. ‘Emergency’ does not mean a revenue shortfall or budget shortfall. Appropriation from the fund can only occur upon a two thirds vote of all elected members of each house of the Legislature concurring therein. Interest or other income earned on the emergency reserve fund shall accrue to the fund.

Crony Capitalism

ALEC’s Asbestos Bill In Georgia During the 2007 legislative session, Senator Wiles, Senator Unterman, and Senator Judson Hill sponsored SB 182, a bill reforming torts regarding asbestos.572 The bill passed the legislature and was signed into law. The bill was a copy of the ALEC model ‘Successor Asbestos-Related Liability Fairness Act,’ nearly verbatim as displayed below. This bill benefits one corporation,573 and only one corporation: Crown Holdings, f.k.a. Crown Cork and Seal.574 The inventor of the bottle cap started Crown in 1892, and today it manufactures bottles, cans, and other packaging.575 Crown merged with Mundet Cork in 1966, and Mundet had worked with asbestos; by acquiring Mundet’s assets, Crown also acquired Mundet’s liabilities. The ALEC model exists to reduce Crown’s liability for damages due to asbestos. The bill would dramatically limit the amount that asbestos victims could recover, benefitting Crown’s bottom line. Asbestos causes asbestosis, mesothelioma and lung cancer, and this bill makes it more difficult for victims of asbestos to recover damages. 576 This model legislation has passed in at least 15 states.577

Perhaps coincidentally, Senator Wiles, Senator Unterman, and Senator Judson Hill attended ALEC’s Georgia Night Dinner in Washington DC, in December, 2007. This dinner, paid for by lobbyists, cost a reported total of $4,599.61. At this dinner, perhaps coincidentally, was a lobbyist for Crown Cork and

Seal.578 In addition to paying more than four hundred dollars for the ALEC dinner, perhaps coincidentally, Crown was the number one contributor to the ALEC scholarship account, giving $15,000 to Georgia’s secret ALEC Scholarship fund between 2006 and 2007. Perhaps coincidentally, Sen. Wiles, Sen. Unterman, and Sen. Judson Hill received a combined $14,331 from the ALEC scholarship fund over

the same time period.579 ALEC Model “Successor Asbestos-Related Liability Fairness Act”

A settlement of a dispute concerning such insurance coverage entered into by a transferor or successor with the insurers of the transferor before the enactment of this title shall be determinative of the aggregate coverage of such liability insurance to be included in the calculation of the transferor's total gross assets.

(a) A corporation may establish the fair market value of total gross assets for the purpose of the limitations under Code Section 51-15-4 through any method reasonable under the circumstances, including: (1) By reference to the going concern value of the assets or to the purchase price attributable to or paid for the assets in an arm´s length transaction; or (2) In the absence of other readily available information from which fair market value can be determined, by reference to the value of the assets recorded on a balance sheet. (b) Total gross assets include intangible assets. (c) Total gross assets include the aggregate coverage under any applicable third-party liability insurance that was issued to the transferor whose assets are being valued for purposes of this Code section, which insurance has been collected or is collectable to cover successor asbestos related liabilities except compensation for liabilities arising from workers´ exposure to asbestos solely during the course of their employment by the transferor.

B.) The rate in Subsection (a) is not compounded. C.) The adjustment of fair market value of total gross assets continues as provided under Subsection (a) until the date the adjusted value is first exceeded by the cumulative amounts of successor asbestos-related liabilities paid or committed to be paid by or on behalf of the corporation or a predecessor, or by or on behalf of a transferor, after the time of the merger or consolidation for which the fair market value of total gross assets is determined. D.) No adjustment of the fair market value of total gross assets shall be applied to any liability insurance otherwise included in the definition of total gross assets by subsection 4(c).

consolidation shall increase annually at a rate equal to the sum of: (1) The prime rate as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as published in statistical release H.15 or any publication that may supersede it, for each calendar year since the merger or consolidation; and (2) One percent. (b) The rate provided in subsection (a) of this Code section shall not be compounded.

ALEC’s Bill To Alter Common Law In 2010, ALEC approved the ‘Trespasser Responsibility Act.’ The American Tort Reform Association (ATRA) sponsored the ALEC model, which had an accompanying article stating the rationale for the bill. As the article depicts, the ALEC model was in response to a perceived attempt to change Common Law’s treatment of trespasser liability to benefit trespassers; a Common Law which the article deemed to be “fair, workable, and predictable.” Due to this perceived attempt to change Common Law, the ALEC model was developed to change it in the opposite direction, to benefit landowners. The article notes that the ALEC model was drafted to be able to eliminate certain exceptions that would hold landowners liable, “Legislators could decide whether to include the entire list of traditional exceptions. … While these exceptions are found in the common law, however, they violate the rights of land possessors to have exclusive control over their land.”580 These notes are not included in the form of the ALEC model publically available on the ALEC website.581 Rather than codify the Common Law, the ALEC model would alter Common Law to suit the purposes of ALEC’s associates. This bill seeks to codify liability laws beneficial to property owners, railroad companies, utility companies, factories, and insurance companies.582 State Farm Insurance, BNSF railroad, and Shell Oil were present at the meeting this bill was approved, and the bill was passed unanimously.583 By tilting the legal playing field, the bill works to prevent injured Americans from recovering damages they otherwise would have been able too. In Georgia, two bills, HB 270 and SB 125 were introduced identically. SB 125 is sponsored by Senators Stone and Gooch, both of who have ties to ALEC; the bill passed the Senate. It does not include the traditional exemptions that the ALEC model considers ‘optional.’ 2013 SB 125 As Introduced ALEC’s Model ‘Trespasser Responsibility

Act’ (a) A possessor of land, including an owner, lessee, or other occupant, owes no duty of care to a trespasser except to refrain from causing a willful or wanton injury, including by a trap or pitfall.

(A) General Rule- A possessor of land, including an owner, lessee, or other occupant, does not owe a duty of care to a trespasser and is not subject to liability for any injury to a trespasser. (B) Exceptions.—Notwithstanding (a), a possessor of land may be subject to liability for physical injury or death to a trespasser in the following situation[s]- (1) Intentional Harms—A possessor may be subject to liability if the trespasser’s physical injury or death was intentionally caused by the possessor, except that a possessor may use reasonable force to repel a trespasser who has entered the land or a building with the intent to commit a crime.

(b) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this Code section, a possessor of land may be subject to liability for physical injury or death to a child trespasser caused by an artificial condition upon such land if: (1) The place where the condition exists is one upon which the possessor knows or has reason to know that children are likely to trespass; (2) The condition is one of which the possessor

(2) Harms to Trespassing Children Caused by Highly Dangerous Artificial Conditions (“Attractive nuisances”).-A possessor may be subject to liability for physical injury or death to a child trespasser [age sixteen or younger] resulting from an artificial condition on the land if- (a) the possessor knew or had reason to know that children were likely to trespass at the location of the condition; (b) the condition is one the possessor knew or

knows or has reason to know and which the possessor realizes or should realize will involve an unreasonable risk of death or serious bodily harm to such children; (3) The children because of their youth do not discover the condition or realize the risk involved in intermeddling with it or in coming within the area made dangerous by it; (4) The utility to the possessor of maintaining the condition and the burden of eliminating the danger were slight as compared with the risk to children involved; and (5) The possessor failed to exercise reasonable care to eliminate the danger or otherwise protect such children.

ALEC’s Bill To Limit Citizens Ability To Sue In February, 2010 Mr. Cary Silverman came to Athens to testify in committee in favor of SB 138, the ‘Transparency in Lawsuits Protection act. Mr. Silverman was testifying as a representative of ALEC’s Civil Justice Task Force.584 Mr. Silverman, a lawyer for the law firm Shook, Hardy & Bacon also acted as a lobbyist for legal changes in Washington.585 Of course neither Shook, Hardy & Bacon nor ALEC had any lobbyists in Georgia, nor was any one with the surname ‘Silverman’ registered.586 The bill barely passed the committee, on a 5-4 vote.587 Mr. Silverman, and Shook, Hardy & Bacon have had long ties to ALEC. Mr. Silverman was a member of ALEC’s Civil Justice Task Force in 2010, while Victor Schwartz, partner of Shook, Hardy & Bacon was a chair of the task force.588 Victor Schwartz and another member of Shook, Hardy, & Bacon literally wrote the book on ALEC’s tort reform agenda.589 And Mr. Silverman has written bills for ALEC, including the ‘Phantom Damages Elimination Act’590 and the ‘Product Liability Act.’591 Senator Wiles, admitted the bill was ALEC model legislation.592 It may well be the case that a Washington lobbyist on behalf of ALEC wrote a bill, and came to Athens to assure its passage. All four of the bill’s sponsors are or were ALEC associates. The bill itself is a measure to eliminate the power of courts to allow citizens to sue for damages. It reduces the liability of corporations by constricting the judiciary’s ability to ensure justice. Victor Schwartz wrote in ALEC’s Policy Forum that the bill would reduce costs for insurance companies by preventing them from being held liable for “mere negligence.”593 SB138 As Introduced ALEC’s ‘Transparency in Lawsuits

Protection Act’ SECTION 1. This Act shall be known and may be cited as the "Transparency in Lawsuits Protection Act."

Section 1. {Title} This Act may be known as the Transparency in Lawsuits Protection Act.

SECTION 2. Article 1 of Chapter 2 of Title 9 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to general provisions applicable to actions, is amended by adding a new Code section to read as follows: "9-2-8. No private right of action shall arise from any Act enacted on or after the effective date of this Code section unless such right is expressly provided therein."

Section 3. {Transparency Required} Any legislation enacted in this State creating a private right of action shall contain express language providing for such a right. Courts of this state shall not construe a statute to imply a private right of action in the absence of such express language.

ALEC’s PR Model Resolution In Georgia ALEC’s model resolution opposing the EPA is a publicity and organizational tool based on bad policy. In 2011, ALEC released a report entitled the “EPA’s Regulatory Train Wreck,” to highlight “one small subsection of this emerging regime—EPA’s assault on the use of fossil fuels and particularly coal, for electric generation and other commercial and manufacturing processes.”594 This is unsurprising as ALEC is funded by the oil, gas, coal, and electric generation industries. 595 The report suggested a ‘model’ resolution, which seemingly never passed through ALEC’s process, and tried to market the term ‘train wreck’ to describe the EPA. 596 The report lambasted the EPA for efforts to reduce greenhouse gas and resist climate change, and suggested their resolution to assist in the federal “ongoing legal and public relations struggles.” 597 While the resolution has no tangible effects, it served to resist the EPA’s regulation of CO2, BPA, lead, and Mercury Acid Gasses; and served to subserviate Georgia’s General Assembly to be spokespeople for the oil and coal industries’ publicity campaign. 2012 HR 1367 As Introduced ALEC Model ‘Resolution Opposing EPA’s

Regulatory Train Wreck’ WHEREAS, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed or is proposing numerous new regulations, particularly in the area of air quality and regulation of greenhouse gases, that will have major effects on consumers, the economy, jobs, and U.S. competitiveness in worldwide markets, especially in Georgia; and

Requiring the Administration to undertake a study identifying all regulatory activity that EPA intends to undertake in furtherance of its goal of “taking action on climate change and improving air quality” and specifying the cumulative effect of all of these regulations on the economy, jobs, and American economic competitiveness. This study should be a multi-agency study drawing on the expertise both of EPA and of agencies and departments having expertise in and responsibility for the economy and the electric system and should provide an objective cost-benefit analysis of all of EPA’s current and planned regulation together.

ALEC’s Internet Restriction Bill In Georgia In 2012 Sen. Chip Rogers introduced a version of ALEC’s model ‘Municipal Telecommunications Private Industry Safeguards Act’. This bill operates under the guise of ‘leveling the playing field’ to ensure that local governments weren’t able to undermine private business.598 However the bill hamstrings local governments, imposing a list of difficult conditions for establishing a municipal utility. By doing so, the bill protects the business interests of corporate telecom giants. In fact, according to Bloomberg, this bill was largely drafted by AT&T, and US West, which is now Centurylink. 599 When the model bill was written in 2001, it used a definition of ‘advanced service’ as 144kbs; Sen. Rogers version in 2012 used a standard of 200kbs for broadband internet, which is laughably slow by current standards. While Sen. Rogers bill did not go anywhere in 2012, in 2013 Rep. Mark Hamilton introduced a version, HB 282, similarly restricting municipal broadband. The bill was for the purpose of preventing competition for Windstream Communications. 600 Rep Hamilton’s bill advanced to a vote of the House, where it failed by a vote of 70-94. Records also show that in addition to Windstream’s lobbying on the issue, AT&T and Comcast lobbyists financed events for Georgia’s legislators including Sen. Rogers at the ALEC conventions in 2011, 601 and in the summer of 2012, which Rep. Hamilton attended. 602 AT&T and Comcast are in the top ten for Georgian expenditures related to ALEC conventions. 2012 SB 313 As Introduced ALEC’s Model ‘Municipal

Telecommunications Private Industry Safeguards Act’

communications service, a public provider shall impute an amount for the following into its indirect costs of providing service: (1) Capital costs in an amount equal to the cost of capital for a private provider; (2) An amount equal to all taxes, franchise fees, regulatory fees, occupation taxes, and pole attachment fees, calculated in the same manner as such amounts are calculated for any private provider paying such costs to the public provider for providing the same communications service; and (3) Expenses related to any facilities, buildings, equipment, vehicles, and personnel used by the public provider in providing communications services.

telecommunications or advanced service at a level that is less than the sum of: (i) the actual direct costs of providing the service; (ii) the actual indirect costs of providing the service; and (iii) the amount determined under Subsection (5)(a)

(b) A franchising authority shall not impose or enforce any local regulation on any private provider which is not also made applicable to any competing public provider, nor shall a franchising authority discriminate between a public provider and private provider.

(f) ensure that when a municipality provides to its inhabitants cable television services, telecommunications or advanced services, or any combination thereof, and competes with private providers whose activities are regulated by the municipality, the municipality does not discriminate against the competing providers of the same services.

(c) A public provider shall not under its governmental powers, including zoning or land-use regulation, directly or indirectly exercise power or authority to withhold or delay the provision of any utility service or require any person, including residents of a particular development, to use or subscribe to any communications service provided by the public provider.

(1) A municipality may not exercise its power of eminent domain to condemn plant and equipment of a private provider for the purpose of providing to a subscriber: (a) a cable television service; or (b) a telecommunications or advanced service. (2) A municipality may not exercise its power of eminent domain to condemn the real property, whether in whole or to obtain an easement for the purpose of providing to a subscriber: (a) a cable television service; or (b) a telecommunications or advanced service

Sections 34-36.

(1) When a municipality is offering or providing a cable television service or telecommunications or advanced service, the immunity from antitrust liability afforded to political subdivisions of the state under [Section of state statutes providing antitrust immunity] does not apply to the municipality providing those services. (2) A municipality that provides a cable television service or a telecommunications or advanced service is subject to applicable antitrust liabilities under the federal Local Government Antitrust Act of 1984, 15 U.S.C. Secs. 34 to 36.
