An Act relating to meetings of the Board of Fisheries; and providing for an effective date.
HB 368 requires Alaska's Board of Fisheries to hold at least one annual meeting in communities under 7,000 people located off the main road system, plus one meeting per year in each of five geographic regions: Upper Yukon-Kuskokwim-Arctic, Western Alaska (including Kodiak), Southcentral, Prince William Sound (including Kodiak/Yakutat), and Southeast (including Yakutat). These provisions amend Alaska Statutes to ensure broader geographic representation in fisheries decision-making. The bill takes effect January 1, 2027, directly affecting how the Board schedules public meetings. It does not change fishing regulations but alters meeting location requirements.
