Alaska House Bill 36, enacted in 2010, modified campaign finance rules and other procedural requirements related to the initiative and referendum process in Alaska.
The legislation required individuals and groups contributing $500 or more to support or oppose a ballot measure to register and file reports.
The legislation also established a single-subject rule for ballot measures. The law directed the lieutenant governor to hold at least two public hearings on each certified ballot initiative in every judicial district, with testimony presented by one proponent and one opponent of the measure. It also required the production of a printed voter information guide for special elections and mandated that a standing legislative committee conduct at least one hearing on every initiative determined to be properly filed.[1]
