Alaska Legislature Adjourns Sine Die
The Alaska Legislature adjourned sine die on May 16 after pushing through a flurry of bills in the final days.
The Senate adjourned right before the midnight hour on Wednesday while the House continued to work into Thursday morning.
This has raised questions about the legality of those pieces of legislation which were passed after the midnight deadline.
The main focus towards the end of the session was on a few different energy bills, rather than the usual budget negotiations.
The legislature also passed several major policy bills regarding crime, the budget, and education issues.
