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 must be sent to affected municipalities, regional and village corporations, and other interested parties. The language also updates the requirements for public notices regarding mineral leases, ensuring they are posted online and may also be published in local newspapers.

Further amendments include the introduction of new notice requirements for state agency actions, such as the adoption or amendment of regulations, which must also be posted on the Alaska Online Public Notice System. The bill eliminates certain previous publication requirements, allowing for more flexibility in how notices are disseminated, including the option for electronic media announcements. Overall, the bill aims to improve transparency and public engagement in state actions by modernizing the notice process and ensuring that relevant information is readily accessible to the public.
