"thanks to Kevin. It was great being on a dais with you and kind of finding the different approaches to talking about how important ethics really is. And Kevin gave the context like nobody's business, and all of that was just great."

Alaska's overhauled Legislative Ethics Act took effect June 24 after Gov. Dunleavy declined to sign it, adding a hard statutory requirement that legislators document the legislative purpose behind any travel gifts they accept.

The Select Committee on Legislative Ethics disclosed Friday that a legislator and a legislative employee submitted only a travel itinerary for an Arctic Winter Games trip and declined to provide any further narrative of legislative purpose, exposing a gap that new state law now closes by making agenda submission a hard statutory requirement.

The Select Committee on Legislative Ethics voted unanimously Friday to direct staff to send a letter to the HR manager and Legislative Counsel seeking relief from conducting sexual harassment and civility training, arguing the assignment falls outside its statutory authority and crowds out substantive ethics instruction.
