The Criminal Penalties for Public Officials Initiative was an Initiated state statute that did not make the Alaska 2016 election ballot.

The measure sought to impose criminal penalties on public officials "who regulate or legislate competitive advantages for, or direct appropriations to their business partners, their clients, their contributors, and other defined close associates." It would also have made it a class A felony for anyone to induce a public official to commit such an act.[1][2]
