Abstract: This research examines the highly influential national organization known as the American Legislative Exchange Council or ALEC, a corporate bill mill. This inquiry aims to provide more information about the state organization’s influence and activity in shaping Oklahoma’s education system, raise public awareness about its practices, and advocate for more transparency regarding ALEC’s meetings and the legislators who have benefitted from being ALEC members. This research consists of a review of ALEC’s website, relevant documents, and two interviews including one Oklahoma Education Association (OEA) representative and one elected official who is an ALEC member. Although this topic and organization warrant further investigation, these findings provide insight into the organization, laying the groundwork for future explorations with an organization that tends to operate covertly.
