Alaska House adjourns, leaves gas bill unfinished
The Associated Press
JUNEAU — The Alaska House adjourned Monday and left an in-state gas pipeline bill unresolved, mirroring the Senate's action last week and marking the end of a tumultuous special session that seemed doomed from the start.
While lawmakers passed one of the bills on the call, pertaining to human trafficking, the governor pulled an oil tax measure after his bill on the subject appeared to be going nowhere. The Senate adjourned Thursday, relying on a legal opinion that says if a bill was on a special session call and removed while the session was under way, that action, in effect, ends the session.
