Summary

The bill creates a new Alaska statute that lets owners or their agents file a sworn request with a peace officer to have an unauthorized occupant removed from a dwelling. The request can be used only when the occupant entered without permission, continues to stay, has been told to leave, lacks a rental agreement, isn’t a close family member, and there’s no pending lawsuit. False statements in the request expose the filer to civil liability and perjury charges.
