FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. SB 202
2018 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
The bill provides limited liability relief from damages and costs for Alaska Native Corporations that received contaminated
lands from the federal government under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA). In order for a Corporation to
have relief, it must demonstrate that the release or threatened release of contamination was already present on the land
at the time it was granted by the federal government.
There are no additional required regulatory or monitoring efforts by the Department of Environmental Conservation to
support this liability limitation. There is no fiscal impact to the Department.
