The bill establishes the Alaska Sunset Commission, which is tasked with reviewing, auditing, and making recommendations regarding the continuation or restructuring of state entities and tax credits. The commission will consist of seven members appointed by the governor and confirmed by the legislature, with members required to have expertise in financial management, budgeting, or government efficiency. The commission is granted the authority to require cooperation from state officials and agencies, hold public hearings, and issue subpoenas as necessary to fulfill its duties. Additionally, the bill outlines the criteria for review and audit, the process for reporting findings, and the consequences for state employees who fail to cooperate with the commission.

To enforce compliance, the bill amends existing laws to include provisions for hindering the Alaska Sunset Commission as a violation, punishable by a fine. It also specifies that individuals convicted of such hindering cannot be appointed to state service without a waiver from the commissioner of administration. The bill further expands the definition of "public agency" to include the Alaska Sunset Commission and adds new subsections to existing laws to ensure that state employees must cooperate with the commission's requests. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance accountability and efficiency within state government by systematically reviewing its entities and operations.
