An Act relating to the development of the Susitna River power project by the Alaska Energy Authority; relating to the regulation of liquefied natural gas import facilities by the Regulatory Commission of Alaska; and providing for an effective date.

SB 180 repeals a specific section (AS 42.05.711(v)) of Alaska law that previously required liquefied natural gas (LNG) import facilities to follow certain regulatory procedures under the Alaska Regulatory Commission. This change directly affects LNG import facilities and the Regulatory Commission of Alaska, removing an existing requirement for facilities to comply with that particular provision. The bill’s key mechanism is the deletion of the statutory language, streamlining regulatory oversight by eliminating this specific administrative step. The bill is currently pending in the Senate Resources Committee (last heard May 9, 2025).
