Authorizing the Senate and the House of Representatives to recess for a period of more than three days.
This bill authorizes both the Alaska Senate and House of Representatives to take a break from work for longer than three days during the state's Third Special Session. It changes the usual rule that requires both chambers to agree before a recess can exceed three days, allowing each house to decide independently on this specific session. The measure is a procedural step that lets lawmakers pause their duties for an extended period without needing mutual approval for the duration of the break.
