The bill amends Alaska's law regarding the rental of the governor's mansion by adding a new section, AS 44.19.032. This section stipulates that the Office of the Governor is permitted to rent the mansion on a short-term basis when the legislature is not in session and the governor has not made prior reservations. However, if the legislature is called into a special session, any rental agreement during that time becomes unenforceable. Additionally, the Office of the Governor is tasked with adopting regulations to establish a rental system and set fees for using the mansion.

The bill is designed to provide a framework for the rental of the governor's mansion while ensuring that it remains available for official use during legislative sessions. It emphasizes the need for regulations to manage the rental process effectively and outlines the conditions under which the mansion can be rented. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
