AK House passes military code of justice reforms

The state House today passed a bill designed to strengthen the state’s Military Code of Justice. It passed on a 39-0 vote with one member absent, and now goes to the state Senate. Rep. Gabrielle LeDoux, a Republican from Anchorage, says the revisions create a state code which is similar to the federal code.
The code would apply to military members in Alaska not covered by federal regulations, such as many members of the Alaska National Guard.
