Chapter 33.32. CORRECTIONAL INDUSTRIES
Sec. 33.32.080. Powers and duties of the Correctional Industries Commission.
(a) The Correctional Industries Commission shall monitor the correctional industries program, annually review the proposed budget of the program, and make appropriate recommendations to the commissioner of corrections. This budget must be transmitted in the normal budgetary process to the legislature as part of the governor's budget.
(b) The Correctional Industries Commission shall hold public hearings to provide an opportunity for persons or organizations who may be affected by the plans of the correctional industries program to appear and present testimony concerning those plans. The Correctional Industries Commission shall hold a hearing under this section when the correctional industries program proposes either entering into a new area of industry or expanding the scope of an existing area of industry beyond the scope considered at a previous hearing. The Correctional Industries Commission shall adopt rules governing the conduct of those hearings, including provisions to assure that adequate public notice of the hearing is given before the hearing. The Correctional Industries Commission may also hold public hearings under these rules on any matter within its jurisdiction. Rules adopted under this subsection are not subject to the Administrative Procedure Act (AS 44.62).
(c) The Correctional Industries Commission shall recommend to the commissioner of corrections the advisability of establishing, expanding, diminishing, or discontinuing industrial, agricultural, or service activities to enable the program to operate as nearly as possible in a self-supporting manner, to provide as much employment for prisoners as is feasible, to provide diversified work activities with minimal negative impact on an existing private industry or labor force in the state, and contribute to the economy of the state. In making recommendations, the Correctional Industries Commission shall consider testimony received at public hearings.
