An Act relating to the transfer of big game hunting permits; and providing for an effective date.

HB 266 modifies Alaska's rules for transferring big game hunting permits. It allows the original permit holder to transfer a permit to another person (with or without payment) before the hunting season begins, provided they notify the Department of Fish and Game and provide the recipient's name and license number. The transferred permit retains all original conditions, including species restrictions and emergency closures, and the recipient assumes all associated responsibilities. This change directly affects hunters who wish to transfer permits but does not create new permits or alter eligibility requirements for obtaining them.
