The resolution, SCR 8, proposes to suspend specific rules of the Alaska State Legislature in order to facilitate the consideration of House Bill No. 35. This bill addresses the regulations surrounding the use and possession of electronic devices by prisoners. The suspension of Rules 24(c), 35, 41(b), and 42(e) allows for changes to the title of the bill without adhering to the usual procedural requirements.

By invoking Rule 54, the legislature aims to streamline the legislative process for House Bill No. 35, ensuring that discussions and potential amendments regarding the bill can proceed without the constraints typically imposed by the aforementioned rules. This resolution reflects the legislature's intent to address the issue of electronic device usage in prisons more efficiently.
