Bill > HB139

This bill allows the Office of the Governor to rent out the governor's mansion on a short-term basis during periods when the legislature is not in session and the governor has not already reserved the mansion. The bill requires the Office of the Governor to create regulations that establish a system for renting the mansion and determine appropriate rental fees. If a special legislative session is called, any existing rental agreements for the mansion during that time would become unenforceable. The purpose appears to be maximizing the use of the governor's mansion as a potential revenue-generating asset when it is not being used for official state business. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, as specified under Alaska state law AS 01.10.070(c), which allows certain legislative acts to become effective right away.
