Council helps shape legislation in Georgia

The American Legislative Exchange Council, which ended its annual convention in Grapevine with a prayer breakfast Sunday, wields considerable influence in Georgia's newly Republican Legislature. And Georgia's stature within the organization has grown, too. State Rep. Earl Ehrhart (R-Powder Springs) became its national chairman this year, and the number of Georgia lawmakers who are members now tops 100.

This year, ALEC was the ghostwriter of several proposals, including the controversial Georgia bill to set limits on damages in medical malpractice lawsuits."Tort reform was pretty much the ALEC model," Ehrhart said last week. "We used the ALEC model bill as our template."
