On page 5, lines 17 through 19, language was added that says that

the voidable section that allows action taken by a governmental
body to be voided. She added that the subsection does not apply to
an advisory-only body.
On page 5, beginning on line 27, the definition of "meeting" has
been split out so that it has a specific definition for a policy
making body and a specific definition for a advisory-only body.
Senator Little said the bill, as written, is supported by the
League of Women Voters, the Alaska Municipal League, the Alaska
Press Club and the University of Alaska.
