AK SB115

Establishes the Public Integrity Commission of Alaska (a 9-member body) to replace the Alaska Public Offices Commission, with members appointed by the governor from political parties and qualified individuals, subject to legislative confirmation.

Creates hearing panels within the commission to handle advisory opinions, complaints, and alleged violations, with specific procedures for peremptory challenges and conflicts of interest.

Maintains confidentiality of complaints and investigations unless the subject waives confidentiality or a violation is determined, with penalties for unauthorized disclosure.

Reduces campaign finance reporting requirements by eliminating disclosure of top contributors in certain campaign communications and allowing campaign funds to be donated to qualified charitable organizations.

Reduces civil penalties for campaign finance violations by capping penalties at five times the unreported amount and preventing daily penalties once a complaint is filed or investigation begins.
