AK SB25

Law enforcement agencies investigating sexual offenses under AS 11.41.410 - 11.41.470 may not disclose investigation information to an employer of the victim without express permission or a determination that disclosure is necessary to investigate or prevent a crime.

Employers are prohibited from penalizing or threatening to penalize victims for being subpoenaed to testify, reporting offenses to law enforcement, or participating in investigations; "penalize" includes demotion, suspension, dismissal, or loss of pay/benefits except those directly attributable to court attendance or investigation participation.

Sexual offenses against Alaska National Guard members committed by other members shall be tried in civil courts and prosecuted by civil authorities, with victims receiving the same constitutional and statutory protections as other crime victims.

The Council on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault must establish an online anonymous reporting procedure for Alaska National Guard members who are victims of sexual offenses and must consult with the Alaska National Guard on preventing such offenses and establishing victim interaction standards.

Alaska National Guard members who are victims of sexual offenses may voluntarily report to state, local, or federal law enforcement agencies, the domestic violence council, or the State Commission for Human Rights, and the Guard cannot compel reporting or compel victim testimony in military proceedings.
