Bill would define lands within the Tanana Valley State Forest

Alaska would define the Tanana Valley State Forest through a detailed list of land and water parcels. The parcels lie in the Fairbanks and Copper River land survey areas. Only land and water the state owns or acquires within the listed parcels would be included. The list excludes specified tracts and limits some parcels using rivers, roads, and other boundaries. Both surveyed sections and unsurveyed sections projected on survey maps would count. The boundary provisions name July 1, 2026, as their effective date, but the recorded actions do not show that the bill became law.

The Alaska Department of Natural Resources could adopt rules to carry out the bill. Any rules would follow Alaska's process for adopting agency rules. Permission to adopt rules would take effect immediately if enacted. The rules could not take effect before the law they carry out.
