Senate Bill 8 "An Act relating to tampering with public records."
Click for PDF: http://www.akdemocrats.org/sponsor/SB008_ss_sen_davis.pdfThe tampering of public records at any time is illegal and can create problems and set in motion a series of unintended consequences. However when the tampering involves the records of a child under the age of 18 in the care or custody of the state those consequences can be grave. Accurate and honest record keeping are of paramount importance to the state in the decisions that must be made for our most vulnerable citizens, our children. The mere fact that these children are already in the care or custody of the state suggests that they must be handled with extra care. We must take that extra step to insure all records dealing with their care are maintained with highest standard of integrity. I ask for your support in the passage of this important legislation.
