House State Affairs committee hears HB377 to add audio/video to public-records law and narrow five-hour fee rule House Bill 377 would add audio and video recordings to the state's public-records definitions and exempt municipalities and the Department of Public Safety from the five-hour fee rule (AS 40.25.110(c)); municipal representatives told the committee rising demand for body- and car-camera footage has strained local resources.
