The bill amends AS 24.08.300 regarding the delivery of resolutions by the governor in the state of Alaska. It establishes specific timelines for the governor to return resolutions based on whether the legislature is in session or not. If a resolution is transmitted while the legislature is in session, the governor must return it within 15 days, excluding Sundays. Conversely, if the resolution is transmitted while the legislature is not in session, the return period extends to 20 days, also excluding Sundays.
Additionally, the bill clarifies the process for the delivery of signed bills and resolutions to the executive director of the Legislative Affairs Agency. The director is responsible for signing for each bill and resolution, and once they have been photographed for duplication, they are to be returned to the Office of the Governor. The amendments aim to streamline the resolution process and ensure timely communication between the governor's office and the legislature.
