SCR 9 Alaska Senate · 34th Legislature (2025-2026)

Suspending Rules 24(c), 35, 41(b), and 42(e), Uniform Rules of the Alaska State Legislature, concerning House Bill No. 70, relating to emergency medical services for operational canines; relating to the powers, duties, and liability of emergency medical technicians and mobile intensive care paramedics; and relating to the practice of veterinary medicine.

SCR 9 is a procedural resolution that suspends specific Alaska legislative rules (24(c), 35, 41(b), and 42(e)) to allow House Bill 70 to advance without following standard title-change procedures. It does not change policy but expedites consideration of HB 70, which addresses emergency medical services for operational canines, clarifies duties/liability for EMTs/paramedics, and regulates veterinary medicine practice. The resolution directly affects the legislative process for HB 70 but does not alter the bill's substantive content. This procedural step was passed by the Alaska House on May 20, 2025.
