SCR 8 Alaska Senate · 34th Legislature (2025-2026)

Suspending Rules 24(c), 35, 41(b), and 42(e), Uniform Rules of the Alaska State Legislature, concerning House Bill No. 35, relating to the use and possession of electronic devices by prisoners.

SCR 8 is a procedural resolution that suspends specific rules in the Alaska State Legislature to allow faster consideration of House Bill 35. It bypasses standard requirements for changing a bill's title (Rules 24(c), 35, 41(b), and 42(e)) to expedite the legislative process for HB 35. HB 35 itself would address rules for prisoners' use and possession of electronic devices. This resolution does not change the policy of HB 35 but streamlines its path through the legislature. The suspension is a routine procedural step, not a substantive policy change.
