An Act relating to the membership of the legislative council; and relating to the membership of the Legislative Budget and Audit Committee.
SB 160 changes membership rules for two Alaska legislative committees. It requires the Legislative Council and the Legislative Budget and Audit Committee to include at least one member from each of the two major political parties on each house's delegation (replacing previous "minority" language). The bill also defines "minority" as a group with organized leadership representing at least 25% of a house's membership. These changes affect how committee members are appointed, not policy outcomes. (Procedural bill; summary focuses solely on membership requirements.)
