Title 24. Legislature

Chapter 60. Standards of Conduct

Section 160. Advisory Opinions.

AS 24.60.160. Advisory Opinions.

(a) On the request of a person to whom this chapter applies or who has been newly elected to the legislature, the committee shall issue an advisory opinion within 60 days as to whether the facts and circumstances of a particular case constitute a violation of ethical standards. If it finds that it is advisable to do so, the committee may issue an opinion under this section on the request of a person who reasonably expects to become subject to this chapter within the next 45 days. The 60-day period for issuing an opinion may be extended by the committee if the person requesting the opinion consents.

(b) An opinion issued under this section is binding on the committee in any subsequent proceedings concerning the facts and circumstances of the particular case unless material facts were omitted or misstated in the request for the advisory opinion. Except as provided in this chapter, an advisory opinion is confidential but shall be made public if a written request by the person who requested the opinion is filed with the committee.
