    The state of Arizona only requires legislators to disclose the source of the $500+ gift, and not the actual amount of the gift. Therefore, at a very minimum, these 82

    scholarships add up to at least $41,000. However, a few legislators have itemized the actual gifts from ALEC, showing that each individual scholarship was likely valued at more than $500. In his 2011 disclosure form (meant for 2010 gifts), House Speaker Andy Tobin disclosed two gifts from ALEC: a $2,000 scholarship to attend ALECs 2010 DC fall conference and an $1,800 for Hotel/Registration at ALECs 2010 San Diego conference.

    In this 2014 disclosure form, Senator Al Melvin disclosed receiving $2,300 to attend ALECs three-day Washington, DC conference in December 2013.

    Melvin also disclosed a $1,800 scholarship to attend ALECs 2012 Salt Lake City conference on his 2013 disclosure form.

    The amount legislators are receiving show potentially lavish wining and dining taking place: Given the cost of ALEC registration for conferences (raging for $150 to $500 for legislators) and the cost of airfare, it appears the funding ALEC is providing to legislators for hotels and/or meals is extraordinary lavish. ALEC registration fees for their 2014 conference in Kansas City:

    Records show ALEC is paying for multiple trips in a single year: In 2012, Rep Justin Olson reported receiving scholarships from ALEC to attend four different meetings in one year:
