HB 111 Alaska House · 34th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relating to finfish farms and finfish farm products; and providing for an effective date.

This bill amends Alaska's definitions to explicitly include "aquatic or finfish farming" within the legal definitions of "agricultural facility" and "agricultural operation." It directly affects commercial finfish farms and their products by bringing them under existing agricultural regulatory frameworks. The key mechanism is updating statutory definitions in AS 09.45.235 to ensure finfish farming is treated as part of agricultural operations for regulatory purposes. This change aligns finfish farming with other agricultural activities under state law, without creating new regulations. The bill focuses on clarifying existing legal terminology rather than imposing new requirements.
