HB 382 Alaska House · 34th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relating to the Joint Armed Services Committee; and providing for an effective date.

This bill updates the structure and reporting requirements for Alaska's Joint Armed Services Committee. It changes how the state department submits military reports, requiring a combined biennial report instead of annual submissions. The committee composition is expanded to include nine civilian members representing military organizations, Alaska's indigenous communities, and municipal leaders. The bill also adjusts the quorum requirement and adds administrative duties for tracking committee membership and vacancies. These changes aim to improve oversight of federal military activities in Alaska while broadening civilian representation on the committee.
