Legislative ethics committee moves into executive session under AS 24.61.60
Summary
The Select Committee on Legislative Ethics voted to enter an executive session citing AS 24.61.60 and the committee's rules of procedure section 5 to discuss matters required by law to remain confidential.
At the July meeting, a committee member moved to convene an executive session. The chair said the committee would move into executive session to discuss matters "which by law must remain confidential under AS 24 61 60, uniform rule 22 b regarding executive sessions, and the committee's rules of procedure section 5 executive sessions," and to discuss subjects that could "prejudice the reputation and character of a person." Deb (committee member) moved the motion and, with no objections recorded, the committee entered executive session.
The chair instructed members to secure the room and paused the public recording; upon return the chair confirmed the committee had resumed public session. The committee did not disclose the substance of the executive-session discussion in the public record during the meeting. The committee cited AS 24.61.60 and its rules of procedure section 5 as the authority for confidentiality.
Because the discussion occurred in executive session and participants identified the legal basis for confidentiality, no details of the matters discussed in executive session were released in the public meeting transcript.
