Ethics subcommittee moves into executive session citing AS 24.60.160

Chair Conner Thomas convened the Alaska State Legislature Select Committee on Legislative Ethics House Subcommittee at 9:04 a.m. on Nov. 21, 2025, and directed Administrator Kevin Reeve to conduct roll call. Committee members present included Skip Cook, Joyce Anderson, Deb Fancher, Carl White and Representatives Alyse Galvin and Kevin McCabe (the latter two via Microsoft Teams).

At 9:07 a.m. Committee member Deb Fancher moved to approve the meeting agenda; the agenda was approved. There was no public comment during the allotted public-comment period.

Chair Thomas then entertained a motion “to go into executive session to discuss matters which by law must remain confidential under AS 24.60.160, Uniform Rule 22(b) regarding executive sessions, and Rules of Procedure Section 5: Executive Sessions,” language read into the record by the chair. Representative Kevin McCabe moved to enter executive session at 9:08:29 a.m.; the committee recessed into executive session. The transcript records the committee’s recess into executive session but does not include the substance of the closed deliberations.

After the closed session, Chair Thomas re‑opened public session. The committee recorded that there was no other business. Committee member Joyce Anderson moved to adjourn, and the meeting concluded at 10:44:14 a.m.

Authorities cited in the public record during the meeting were AS 24.60.160; Uniform Rule 22(b); and Rules of Procedure Section 5, each invoked as the legal basis for confidentiality during the executive session. The transcript does not include votes, roll-call tallies on the motions, or the content of the executive session.
