The bill amends AS 14.57.210(b) to update the notice requirements for museums seeking to acquire title to undocumented property. It mandates that museums publish a notice for at least four consecutive weeks on a dedicated Internet webpage they maintain, as well as in a newspaper of general circulation or on a social media account. The notice must include a description of the property, the acquisition date, contact information for a museum representative, and the initial date of publication on the Internet webpage.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the notice must inform potential claimants that the museum will acquire title to the property if no valid claims are received within 45 days from the date of the last publication. The amendments also include the requirement for the museum to provide an electronic mail address for contact purposes, enhancing communication with potential claimants.
