Ethics committee notified of internship approval for Jake Bernstein from Representative Carolyn Hall’s office
Summary
Administrator Kevin Reeve told the Select Committee on Legislative Ethics the chair approved an internship from Representative Carolyn Hall’s office for Jake Bernstein; Senator Gary Stevens asked whether a salary had been approved and Chair Joyce Anderson said there is no legislative salary involved.
Administrator Kevin Reeve introduced an internship approval submitted by Representative Carolyn Hall’s office for an applicant named Jake Bernstein during the Alaska State Legislature Select Committee on Legislative Ethics meeting on July 25, 2025.
Chair Joyce Anderson told the committee she had approved the internship and, in keeping with the committee’s Rules of Procedure, the committee was being notified of that approval. Senator Gary Stevens asked whether a salary had been approved through the rules chair; Chair Anderson replied, “there is no legislative salary involved.” The transcript indicates the item was recorded as notification under the committee’s procedure rather than as a contested action requiring a formal vote.
The agenda had been modified earlier in the meeting to add discussion of this internship approval; the agenda change was moved by Deb Fancher and approved with no objections. No further details about the internship — including start date, duties or funding source — were provided in the public record.
The meeting proceeded to an executive session on other matters and adjourned at 1:02 PM.
