Alaska: Legislature may overturn session limit approved by voters
A legislative task force says the 90-day limit imposed by Alaska voters on how long the Legislature can be in session is too short and should be overturned by lawmakers. The new report cites reasons ranging from legislators saying they aren’t getting enough sleep to complaining they don’t get to talk enough with their constituents over the three months. The report is from a subcommittee appointed in the state House to study the impact of the shortened session. It’s led by Homer Republican Rep. Paul Seaton and includes Rep. Max Gruenberg, D-Anchorage, and Rep. Bryce Edgmon, D-Dillingham.
