Bill > HB349

This bill amends existing Alaska law to allow individuals to sue for damages or seek court orders if they have been deprived of, or had their exercise of, a right, privilege, or immunity under the United States Constitution or the Alaska Constitution interfered with by a federal official acting under the authority of law. This new right to sue is added to the types of civil actions that must be filed within two years of the cause of action arising, and it specifically creates a new section of law (AS 09.65.360) that grants state courts jurisdiction over such cases, requiring them to be filed in the superior court. The bill also clarifies that this new provision applies to any lawsuits filed in Alaska courts on or after the bill's effective date.
