Bill Summary

AN ACT ENTITLED "An Act restricting the release of certain records of convictions; and providing for an effective date."

AI Summary

This bill amends Alaska's criminal records laws to restrict the release of certain marijuana possession conviction records. Specifically, it prohibits state agencies from releasing criminal justice information for cases where the defendant was 21 or older, was convicted only of possessing less than one ounce of a Schedule VIA controlled substance (marijuana), and requests that the records not be released. The bill also requires the Alaska Court System to remove such records from its publicly available website and post a notice about how to obtain the records. The provisions apply to records both before and after the bill's effective date of January 1, 2024.
