Open Meetings
AS 44.62.310 — meetings open with reasonable notice, and a suit to void an action within 180 days
Every meeting of a governmental body of a public entity of the state is open to the public, except as this law or another provides, and the public may attend and take part by teleconference.
Who handles this in Alaska: legal aid programs, lawyer referral and the state offices, listed in the Alaska directory.
Reasonable public notice is given for every open meeting, with the date, time and place, and the location of any teleconference facilities. Some subjects, such as matters whose immediate knowledge would clearly hurt the entity's finances, may be taken up in executive session.
Undoing an action. Action taken in violation is voidable, and a lawsuit to void it is filed in superior court within 180 days after the action.
