Bill > SJR3

This resolution proposes an amendment to the Alaska State Constitution that would reduce the maximum duration of regular legislative sessions from 120 to 90 consecutive calendar days, beginning with the First Regular Session of the Thirty-Fifth Alaska State Legislature in 2026. The amendment maintains the current provision that allows the legislature to convene on the fourth Monday in January (with the potential to change this date by law) and includes a provision that allows for a single ten-day extension if approved by at least two-thirds of the membership in each house. The resolution mandates that the legislature must adopt uniform procedural rules with deadlines for scheduling session work that are consistent with the new session length requirements. The proposed constitutional amendment would be placed before Alaska voters at the next general election, in accordance with the state constitution and election laws, giving voters the opportunity to approve or reject the change to the legislative session duration.
