This bill amends the management responsibilities for Chugach State Park, specifically detailing the control, development, and maintenance of the park's land and water. The Department of Natural Resources is assigned these responsibilities, while the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities is tasked with the repair and maintenance of existing public roads within the park. The bill also introduces provisions for granting easements or rights-of-way to municipalities for road repair and maintenance, provided that the municipality covers associated costs and assumes maintenance duties.
Additionally, the bill allows for the modification of the park's boundaries by the commissioner, subject to legislative approval, in cases of unreconcilable conflicts regarding land ownership or jurisdiction. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
