January 8, 2021478 P.3d 679

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the superior court’s order deleting the ballot‑summary sentence that claimed the initiative would make tax records subject to the normal Public Records Act process, finding it inaccurate and misleading. The Court allowed the lieutenant governor to add a limited phrase stating the act does not specify the disclosure process. The decision was rendered after a de novo review of the summary‑judgment ruling.
