SB 188 Alaska Senate · 34th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act expanding the Tanana Valley State Forest; and providing for an effective date.

SB 188 amends the legal description of the Tanana Valley State Forest to expand its boundaries by adding specific parcels of state-owned land across multiple townships and sections in the Fairbanks area. The bill revises the existing boundary definition in Alaska Statutes to include additional land tracts described by precise survey coordinates (e.g., portions of Townships 1 North, Ranges 2-5 East/West). This change directly affects the physical boundaries of the forest, incorporating previously excluded state-owned parcels into the designated forest area. The bill does not alter forest management policies or create new regulations - its sole purpose is to update the legal description of the forest's geographic limits. It is a procedural boundary adjustment, not a substantive policy change.
