This bill amends various sections of Alaska's laws regarding the State Officers Compensation Commission and the policies of the Alaska Legislative Council related to allowances and reimbursement for moving expenses. It mandates that the Alaska Legislative Council adopt a policy for annual allowances for members of the legislature and outlines the conditions for reimbursement of moving expenses and per diem allowances. Additionally, it specifies that the commission must meet at least twice to discuss its findings and recommendations before submitting final reports, which must now be posted publicly in advance of meetings.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new section that emphasizes the commission's role in recommending equitable compensation for state leaders to attract capable individuals. It modifies the frequency and reporting requirements for the commission, ensuring that reports on compensation are prepared every two years and that preliminary findings are made public for comment. The bill also clarifies the process for amending reports and stipulates that any increase in compensation is contingent upon full funding through appropriations.
