SJR 21: Urging federal support for the state's aviation fuel transition.

This Senate Joint Resolution asks the federal government to extend Alaska's exemption from a 2030 ban on leaded aviation fuel until 2034. The bill argues that remote Alaskan communities rely heavily on piston-driven aircraft for essential services like food delivery and emergency medical care, and that a sudden fuel switch would disrupt these lifelines. It directs copies of the request to Alaska's U.S. Senators and Representative to advocate for the change during federal aviation reauthorization.

HB 312: An Act relating to the appointment of an assistant adjutant general; and providing for an effective date.

This bill updates the rules for appointing assistant adjutant generals in the Alaska National Guard. It requires that these leaders be appointed by the adjutant general with the governor's approval and gives preference to candidates with at least five years of service in the Alaska Army or Air National Guard or recent active duty experience. The legislation also specifies that an assistant adjutant general must hold the rank of brigadier general or lower, and must have previously held the rank of lieutenant colonel or higher. These changes directly affect the selection process and rank requirements for leadership roles within the Army and Air National Guard components of the Alaska National Guard.
