The bill amends Alaska's law regarding the comprehensive plans of first and second class boroughs. It updates AS 29.40.030(a) to include new components that must be part of these comprehensive plans. Specifically, it adds a requirement for a housing development plan and recommendations for the implementation of the comprehensive plan, while removing the previous mention of transportation plans as a standalone category.

This legislative change aims to enhance the planning framework for boroughs by ensuring that housing development is explicitly addressed, reflecting the growing need for comprehensive strategies in urban and rural development. The inclusion of implementation recommendations is intended to facilitate the practical application of the comprehensive plans, thereby improving the overall effectiveness of local governance in managing development.
