SB 85 Alaska Senate · 34th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relating to unauthorized publication and use of communications; and relating to eavesdropping.

SB 85 strengthens privacy protections for private communications in Alaska by making it illegal to publish or use private conversations without consent. It prohibits unauthorized disclosure of communication contents (e.g., texts, calls) and bans using eavesdropping devices to record conversations without all parties' agreement. Key exceptions include public broadcasts, emergency services communications, lawful law enforcement investigations, and incidental hearing during normal employment (like phone line maintenance). The bill directly affects individuals, businesses, and law enforcement by clarifying when private communications can legally be shared or recorded.
