From adn.com:
His changes would allow the state to pay the legal bills of public officials for defending against ethics complaints that are tossed out. They would also set out when a governor’s family members can travel on the state’s dime. Those were hot issues for Palin, who said she resigned last July in part because of what she called frivolous ethics complaints.
The attorney general has the power to make the changes without approval of the Legislature. Sullivan released them Monday for a public review that lasts through Jan. 22. His spokesman, Bill McAllister, said they would go into effect after the Department of Law goes through all the public comments and makes any potential revisions.
