Labor & Employment (Public Employees)

HB 146 prohibits public employers in Alaska from disclosing specific personal information of public employees, directly affecting state and local government workers. The bill bars disclosure of home addresses, dates of birth, personal phone numbers (except for business use under written agreements), personal email addresses, labor union membership details, communications with union representatives, and charitable payroll deduction information. It creates a new exception to the Public Records Act for these protected details, requiring public employers to notify an employee's union representative if a disclosure request is denied. Exceptions allow disclosure when required by law, authorized by the employee, or necessary for business purposes under written agreements.

HB 130 creates a "flexible time credit" system for executive branch classified employees in Alaska who are not eligible for overtime pay. It allows these employees to earn paid time off for hours worked beyond their standard workweek, accruing in 15-minute increments. The time credit has no cash value and is forfeited if the employee leaves state service, excluding hours covered by special pay plans for extended on-site work. This policy directly affects non-overtime-eligible state workers in executive branch roles, replacing overtime compensation with flexible paid time off.
