AlaskaWithdrawn bill proposed end dates for seven Alaska licensing boards
The withdrawn bill proposed end dates for seven Alaska licensing boards and reports on whether two boards followed recommendations from 2025 audits.
What it does
The withdrawn bill lists end dates from 2030 to 2034 for seven Alaska licensing boards and commissions. It also says the act would be exempt from a rule limiting how many boards one bill may continue.
The withdrawn bill proposed reports to a legislative committee on whether the psychology and real estate appraisers boards followed recommendations from 2025 audits.
Argument forKeeping these boards scheduled to continue could let them keep overseeing licensed work in fields such as counseling, real estate, and social work.
Argument againstLonger listed end dates could mean lawmakers wait longer to review whether some licensing boards should continue.

The reports would cover the Board of Psychologist and Psychological Associate Examiners and the Board of Certified Real Estate Appraisers, and recommendations from audits conducted on April 17 and June 5, 2025. The reports would be due by the first day of the First Regular Session of the 36th Alaska Legislature.
