An Act relating to civil liability for depriving a person of a right, privilege, or immunity secured by the United States Constitution.
HB 349 creates a new civil remedy in Alaska for individuals whose constitutional rights (under federal or state law) were violated or interfered with by a federal official acting under official authority. It allows these individuals to sue for damages and court orders (like injunctions) in Alaska’s superior court within two years of the violation. The bill directly affects Alaskans who experience such constitutional violations and sets the procedural rules for these lawsuits, including the two-year filing deadline.
