ACTION NARRATIVE 3:31:49 PM CHAIR KAWASAKI called the Senate State Affairs Standing Committee meeting to order at 3:31 p.m. Present at the call to order were Senators Bjorkman, Wielechowski, Yundt and Chair Kawasaki. Senator Gray-Jackson arrived shortly thereafter. SB 49-WORKPLACE VIOLENCE PROTECTIVE ORDERS 3:33:07 PM CHAIR KAWASAKI announced the consideration of SENATE BILL NO. 49 "An Act relating to workplace violence protective orders; relating to the crime of violating a protective order; relating to the powers of district judges and magistrates; amending Rules 4 and 65, Alaska Rules of Civil Procedure, and Rule 9, Alaska Rules of Administration; and providing for an effective date." 3:33:17 PM CHAIR KAWASAKI announced Senator Wielechowski joined the meeting. 3:33:22 PM CHAIR KAWASAKI solicited a motion. 3:33:23 PM SENATOR BJORKMAN moved to adopt the committee substitute (CS) for SB 49, work order 34-LS0186\I, as the working document. 3:33:36 PM CHAIR KAWASAKI objected for purposes of discussion. 3:33:55 PM BREANNA KAKARUK, Staff, Alaska State Legislature, Juneau, Alaska, explained changes from version N to version I for SB 49: [Original punctuation provided.] The Senate State Affairs Committee Substitute to SB 49 contains the following changes described below. Prohibit attorney fee awards against the petitioner in: • Domestic violence restraining order proceedings under AS 18.66.100-18.66.180 • Stalking and sexual assault protective orders under AS 18.65.850-18.65.870; and • Ex parte protective orders under AS 13.26.450- 13.26.460 3:34:32 PM SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI asked how many people are charged with attorney fees by judges for frivolous protective orders. 3:35:01 PM SENATOR MATT CLAMAN, District H, Alaska State Legislature, Juneau, Alaska, sponsor of SB 49 answered that its rare for attorney fees to be ordered in domestic violence proceedings. He noted that some individuals whose cases were assessed questioned whether they were truly frivolous, yet they were still charged attorney's fees. 3:35:45 PM SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI asked the intent of SB 49 regarding civil liability. 3:36:03 PM MS. KAKARUK replied that in the first hearing on SB 49, version N, Senator Wielechowski brought up AS 18.65.897, on page 7, line 21-23, regarding civil liability. He questioned employer liability if a protective order was not obtained after threats were reported and customers were later injured. She said that legal review clarified the bill's narrow scope does not create new grounds for suing the employer over failing to secure such an order, though customers could still pursue civil action under existing law. 3:37:13 PM SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI focused on removing potential attorney's fees for frivolous cases and acknowledged the high volume of such cases and the scrutiny by judges. He emphasized the importance of not discouraging individuals who feel at risk from filing claims. He stressed the need to ensure that people are not put in a position where they might have to defend against frivolous claims, while recognizing the high bar for a case to be deemed frivolous. 3:38:21 PM SENATOR CLAMAN noted that similar laws in other states have not led to many workplace violence protective orders being requested. He emphasized that if issues arise after the legislation is enacted, a review would be appropriate, but currently, there should be no barriers preventing individuals from seeking an order when they genuinely need it. 3:39:13 PM CHAIR KAWASAKI asked if a person employed at a store in a mall would be covered at the mall as their workplace or only the specific store. 3:39:32 PM SENATOR CLAMAN replied that it depends on who applied for the protective order. He said if the mall owner applied, the protective order would likely cover the entire mall, but if an individual shop applied, the order would apply only to that shop and not to other businesses within the mall. 3:40:16 PM SENATOR YUNDT stated his belief that protective orders usually include distance restrictions. He hoped such an order would at least keep the individual away from the affected area of the mall, if not entirely out of the mall. 3:40:43 PM SENATOR CLAMAN replied that SB 49 does not specify distance setbacks and argued legislation should not prescribe them, since malls vary greatly in size. He said setting rigid standards could create problems, so flexibility is preferable. [CHAIR KAWASAKI removed his objection; found no further objection and CSSB 49 was adopted as the working document.] 3:41:31 PM CHAIR KAWASAKI opened public testimony on SB 49. 3:41:49 PM RANDI BREAGER, Executive Director, Abused Womens Aid in Crisis (AWAIC), Anchorage, Alaska, testified in support of SB 49 and emphasized that the legislation would be crucial for improving safety in domestic violence shelters and safe homes. She described barriers victims face when reporting threats, noting that one threat can endanger all residents and staff. Two recent incidents involving armed abusers that threatened shelters and attempted forced entry. Both offenders were quickly released, left victims and staff vulnerable. She said allowing organizations to petition for workplace protective orders on behalf of residents would provide a faster, more effective tool for protection, reflect the seriousness of threats in legal records, and reduce the burden on individual victims. 3:44:27 PM SENATOR GRAY-JACKSON joined the meeting. 3:44:46 PM CHERYL HUMME, Advocate, Arctic Women in Crisis, Utqiagvik, Alaska, testified in support of SB 49 and described rising incidents of violence at her shelter from disgruntled community members, including people evicted from other facilities. She argued workplace protective orders would provide critical legal protection by restricting perpetrators from entering the shelter, contacting residents or staff, or engaging in threats. She said such orders would enhance safety, deter future violence through enforceable consequences, protect both people and property, and give staff greater peace of mind. [CHAIR KAWASAKI closed public testimony on SB 49.] 3:47:24 PM CHAIR KAWASAKI solicited the will of the committee. 3:47:28 PM SENATOR BJORKMAN moved to report CSSB 49, work order 34- LS0186\I, from committee with individual recommendations and attached fiscal note(s). 3:48:08 PM CHAIR KAWASAKI found no objection and CSSB 49(STA) was reported from the Senate State Affairs Standing Committee. 3:48:26 PM At ease. SB 53-LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY ACCREDITATION 3:51:28 PM CHAIR KAWASAKI reconvened the meeting and announced the consideration of SENATE BILL NO. 53 "An Act relating to accreditation standards for law enforcement agencies." 3:51:47 PM SENATOR GRAY-JACKSON speaking as the sponsor of SB 53 introduced the legislation: [Original punctuation provided.] Senate Bill 53 is about ensuring that every Alaskanno matter who they are or where they livecan feel safe in their community and have trust in those who are sworn to protect them. It is also about giving our peace officers the tools, training, and standards they need to do their jobs effectively and with pride. Our law enforcement professionals perform some of the most difficult work in our state. They walk into uncertain situations every day with courage and resolve. This bill is not an indictment of their serviceit is an investment in their success and in the trust between officers and the people they serve. The concept of this bill was brought to me by the Anchorage Police Department Chief of Police Sean Case. Chief Case suggested an accreditation standard as a way to address multiple concerns across the state with one piece of legislation. SB 53 establishes a statewide accreditation standard. These standards include clear protocols for de-escalation as well as empowering officers to use nonlethal force whenever safely possible. SB 53 also strengthens the reporting and oversight of officer misconduct. It ensures that officers who witness misconduct are required to intervene and report it. This isn't just about disciplineit's about creating a culture of integrity that lifts up the entire profession. 3:53:26 PM SENATOR GRAY-JACKSON continued with the introduction of SB 53: And because Alaska is home to many rich and diverse cultures, this bill includes cultural competency training to help officers better understand and serve all Alaskans. Especially our Alaska Native communities, who have long faced systemic challenges within the justice system. The Alaska Police Standards Council will play a central role in certifying these reforms, providing training, and ensuring compliance. These are not abstract changesthey are practical steps that will lead to safer streets, stronger communities, and more confident, better-supported officers. SB 53 is not about choosing between community safety and officer safetyit's about recognizing that the two go hand in hand. Today is just the first step. I look forward to working with all the stakeholders to ensure we can create accreditation standards that work for everyone. 3:54:23 PM DEIRDRE GOINS, Staff, Senator Gray-Jackson, Alaska State Legislature, Juneau, Alaska, provided an overview and sectional analysis for SB 53. She moved to slide 2 and said SB 53 is accreditation for law enforcement agencies, not individual officers. The need for officers and public safety reform in Anchorage brought the legislation forward.

A law enforcement agency that, on the effective date of this Act, is required to obtain and maintain accreditation under AS 29.71.070, enacted by sec. 6 of this Act, or AS 44.41.020(l), enacted by sec. 7 of this Act, has until January 1, 2027, to obtain the first tier of accreditation. In this section, "law enforcement agency" has the meaning given in AS 18.65.290. 4:03:28 PM CHAIR KAWASAKI asked whether municipal departments must create their own set of criteria and raised concern that, since the fiscal note shows high costs for state troopers, municipalities might also face those expenses. 4:03:54 PM MS. GOINS replied that the Police Standards Council will establish one unified set of standards, so agencies and municipalities will not bear significant costs for developing them. 4:04:26 PM CHAIR KAWASAKI asked what happens if a department lacks the funding or manpower to pay the minimums and how will a smaller agency afford the minimum requirements. SENATOR GRAY-JACKSON deferred the question to an invited testifier. 4:05:26 PM CHAIR KAWASAKI announced invited testimony on SB 53. 4:05:44 PM SEAN CASE, Chief, Anchorage Police Department, Anchorage, Alaska, answered questions and testified by invitation on SB 53. He explained that SB 53 aims to establish mandatory accreditation standards for all law enforcement agencies in Alaska, enhancing professionalism, accountability, and effectiveness. Accreditation ensures agencies meet consistent, nationally recognized standards covering areas like use of force, internal investigations, pursuit policies, and evidence management. He said mandatory accreditation provides a baseline of best practices, promotes regular internal and external reviews, and fosters accountability and transparency. It builds public trust by demonstrating a commitment to excellence, reduces liability risks, and strengthens service delivery. The first tier is designed to be achievable for agencies of all sizes, offering protection from liability while improving operations and community confidence. Overall, SB 53 sets a statewide framework for consistent, high-quality policing. He replied to Senator Kawasaki's previous question and said that the lowest tier of accreditation is intentionally designed with fewer requirements than national standards to accommodate small and remote Alaska agencies with limited funding and personnel. He highlighted that accreditation improves training and operational effectiveness by requiring agencies to review and strengthen programs. He said even though he supports SB 53, he acknowledged fiscal challenges and proposed a streamlined model with one program coordinator and one clerical staff to manage accreditation statewide. This approach would provide the support needed, especially for small and rural agencies. He noted some testimony may question the process rather than accreditation itself but emphasized that mandatory accreditation is a necessary and beneficial step for Alaska. 4:11:06 PM CHAIR KAWASAKI noted that when Fairbanks built a new department a significant amount of money and space were invested to adhere to evidence and records storage standards. He asked how standardized requirements would apply to remote Alaska locations that may have limited space or other constraints. 4:11:52 PM CHIEF CASE replied that the question gets to the heart of the challenges faced by law enforcement. Improperly stored records or evidence can hinder prosecutions, particularly in rural areas. He acknowledged financial and logistical hurdles, but emphasized that implementing accreditation standards represents a long-term commitment to improving police services, ensuring effective prosecution, and investing in agencies to provide the law enforcement quality all Alaskan communities deserve. [CHAIR KAWASAKI opened public testimony on SB 53.] 4:14:07 PM GREG RUSSELL, Life Member, Alaska Police Officer Association, Soldotna, Alaska, testified in support of SB 53 and emphasized that mandatory police accreditation is a key step toward accountability, transparency, professionalism, and public trust in law enforcement. Accreditation sets uniform standards across agencies, covering policies, training, accountability, and continuous improvement, which helps ensure equitable and effective policing statewide. He said benefits include improved officer skills, better community relations, reduced misconduct, and consistent operational practices. He acknowledged challenges, particularly for smaller agencies, and stressed the need for support such as funding or grants. While supporting the goals of SB 53, he suggested revisions to make the process more attainable and encouraged collaboration with agencies already pursuing accreditation to enhance professional development across Alaska. 4:20:31 PM MIKE GARVEY, Policy Director, American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Alaska, Anchorage, Alaska, testified in support of SB 53 and emphasized that law enforcement wields significant state authority and must uphold constitutional rights, including equal protection, free speech, privacy, and due process. He cited past failures, including deadly incidents and uninvestigated sexual assaults, to illustrate the harm caused when standards are not met. SB 53 aims to establish strong statewide standardscovering use of force, bias, misconduct complaints, escalation practices, cultural competency, and accessible services, to ensure professional, transparent, and trustworthy policing that builds public confidence and protects individual rights. 4:23:41 PM CHAIR KAWASAKI held SB 53 in committee. 4:23:46 PM At ease. ^CONFIRMATION HEARING ALASKA PUBLIC OFFICES COMMISSION CONFIRMATION HEARING ALASKA PUBLIC OFFICES COMMISSION 4:33:27 PM CHAIR KAWASAKI reconvened the meeting and announced the consideration of the governor's appointee to the Alaska Public Office Commission. 4:34:21 PM WALTER MONEGAN, Appointee, Alaska Public Offices Commission, Eagle River, Alaska, testified as a governor's appointee to the Alaska Public Offices Commission and expressed appreciation for the opportunity to contribute.
