This bill amends the definition of "employer" within the context of the State Commission for Human Rights in Alaska. The revised definition clarifies that an employer includes any person or entity, including the state and its political subdivisions, that has one or more employees in the state. However, it explicitly excludes certain organizations from this definition.

Specifically, the bill removes the exclusion of "a club that is exclusively social or a fraternal organization" and replaces it with a broader category of "an organization that is not organized for private profit." Additionally, it maintains the exclusion of charitable, educational, or religious associations or corporations, provided they are not organized for private profit. This change aims to refine the understanding of what constitutes an employer under the law, potentially impacting the application of human rights protections in the workplace.
