The bill amends various sections of Alaska state law to enhance public notice requirements for state actions related to land leasing and mineral rights. Key changes include the requirement for the commissioner to provide public notice of recreational facilities development at least 30 days before soliciting proposals, with notices to be posted on the Alaska Online Public Notice System. Additionally, the bill specifies that notices regarding mineral leases must also be posted on this system, and it allows for the use of electronic media and other methods to reach affected parties.

Further amendments include the removal of certain publication requirements in newspapers, allowing for more flexibility in how notices are disseminated. For instance, the bill replaces the requirement for multiple newspaper publications with a focus on online postings, while still ensuring that the public is adequately informed. The changes aim to streamline the notification process and make it more accessible to the public, reflecting a shift towards digital communication in state governance.
