Bill > HB384

This bill amends the definition of a "victim counseling center" in Alaska law to include local or tribal government agencies, in addition to private organizations and those operated by or contracted by the U.S. armed forces, provided these entities primarily offer direct services for trauma from sexual assault or domestic violence, are not affiliated with law enforcement or prosecutors, and are not contracted by the state for services under AS 47. The bill also clarifies that this expanded definition applies to communications made and offenses committed before, on, or after the bill's effective date.
