This bill amends the management responsibilities for Chugach State Park in Alaska, specifically under AS 41.21.122. It clarifies that the control, development, and maintenance of the park, along with roadside structures, are assigned to the department, while also allowing for the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities to handle the repair and maintenance of existing public roads within the park. The bill introduces new subsections that enable the department to grant easements or rights-of-way to municipalities for road repair and maintenance, provided certain conditions are met, such as the municipality bearing the associated costs and maintaining the easement.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities is responsible for the repair and maintenance of existing public roads, except for those maintained by municipalities under the new easement provisions. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
