ALEC's outside law firm has filed a letter supporting this request and some liberal groups are opposing this request. What ALEC is asking for is the right to submit draft laws to members of the Texas legislature without these drafts becoming public. It is common practice to make open records request of sponsors of laws to get copies of materials given to these sponsors by lobbyists and groups like ALEC. ALEC wants to be exempt from these requirements
