An Act establishing a violation for hindering the Alaska Sunset Commission; relating to the duties of the legislature; establishing the Alaska Sunset Commission to review and make recommendations on discontinuation of or changes to state entities; relating to the powers and duties of the Alaska Sunset Commission; and providing for an effective date.

This bill establishes the Alaska Sunset Commission to review state entities and recommend changes or discontinuations to improve government efficiency. It creates a new violation for intentionally obstructing the commission or its staff from gathering necessary information, punishable by a fine of up to $5,000. The legislation also mandates that state employees who are convicted of hindering the commission face potential dismissal and requires their employment records to be publicly available. Additionally, the bill expands the definition of a "matter of public concern" to include interference with the commission's work, which could impact whistleblower protections.
