This bill amends the composition and terms of the Local Boundary Commission in Alaska. It increases the number of members from five to six, with the new structure including one member from each of the four judicial districts, one from the unorganized borough, and one from the state at large. The terms for these members are extended from five years to six years, and it is specified that members from the judicial districts and the unorganized borough must maintain a principal place of abode and be registered to vote in their respective areas. Additionally, the bill changes the leadership structure by allowing the commission to select a chair from among its members, rather than designating the member from the state at large as the chair.

The bill also includes a transition provision stating that any member appointed to the Local Boundary Commission after the effective date of the Act will serve a six-year term, while the terms of members appointed before this date remain unaffected. The Act is set to take effect on January 31, 2027.
