An Act relating to meetings of the Board of Fisheries and the Board of Game; and providing for an effective date.

HB 177 requires the Alaska Board of Fisheries to hold at least one meeting annually in each of five geographic regions: Upper Yukon-Kuskokwim-Arctic, Western Alaska (including Kodiak), Southcentral (including the Kenai Peninsula), Prince William Sound (including Yakutat), and Southeast. It also clarifies that both the Board of Fisheries and the Board of Game must hold at least one meeting per year, with additional meetings as needed, to ensure broader public engagement across the state. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
