This bill amends Alaska's law regarding the rental of the governor's mansion by adding a new section, AS 44.19.032. It 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. Additionally, if the legislature is called into a special session, any rental agreement during that time would be unenforceable. The bill also mandates that the Office of the Governor establish regulations for the rental process and the associated fees.

The bill is designed to provide a framework for the rental of the governor's mansion, ensuring that it is available for use when not needed for official state functions. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining the mansion's availability while also protecting it from being rented during critical legislative periods. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
