Coca-Cola declined to respond to additional questions, including whether it had already paid membership for the year.
ALEC brings together state legislators, who pay $100 for a two-year membership, and corporations, which pay between $2,500 and $25,000 for an annual membership. The legislators and corporate representatives draft templates of legislation that can be used by lawmakers and lobbyists as models for state or federal legislation.
Koch Industries, whose top executives Charles and David Koch are prominent supporters of conservative causes, is one of the largest corporations supporting Washington-based ALEC.
ALEC spokeswoman Kaitlyn Buss did not immediately respond to an email
