Bill > HCR5

This resolution proposes an amendment to Rule 23(f) of the Uniform Rules of the Alaska State Legislature regarding committee record-keeping procedures. The amendment requires all standing, special, and joint committees to electronically record their meetings and create detailed logs, prepare standardized minutes that include member attendance, witness information (name and affiliation), witness positions on subjects, and amendment details, including roll call votes if requested. Committees must maintain a chronological file of minutes, provide copies upon request, and submit these records to the Legislative Affairs Agency for entry into the legislative computer system. At the end of each legislature's second session, committees must deliver electronic records including an indexed compilation of minutes, electronic recordings of meetings with logs, and comprehensive files for each bill or subject considered, containing written testimony, agency position papers, bill drafts, letters of intent, and other research-valuable materials. The amendment is set to take effect on January 20, 2026, and aims to improve transparency and documentation of legislative committee proceedings.
