This action applies only to House Bill 173, which deals with licensing for occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants in Alaska.

The change takes effect retroactively to the start of the special session on May 21, 2026.

This bill authorizes the Alaska State Senate and House of Representatives to recess for more than three days during the Second Special Session of the Thirty-Fourth Legislature.

The measure allows legislators to take a longer break from their duties without violating constitutional rules governing legislative sessions.

This procedural step enables the bill to move forward in its current form before final approval.

Additionally, the resolution commits the legislature to ongoing engagement with affected communities to ensure swift and comprehensive assistance.
