Plain-language change summary

The amendment to Bill HB 35 clarifies that members of the Board of Fisheries and the Board of Game can participate in discussions about fish and game resources even if they or their immediate family members have personal or financial interests in related businesses. However, if their involvement is deemed to potentially lead to a conflict of interest by supervisors or the majority of the board members, they will still be barred from voting on that matter. This change is important because it aims to balance transparency and participation while maintaining the integrity of decision-making in matters affecting Alaska's natural resources.

The bill allows members of the Board of Fisheries and the Board of Game to participate in deliberations despite having a personal or financial interest, under specific conditions.

  • AS 39.52.220

    if [IF] the supervisor or a majority of the members voting determine that a violation will exist if the member continues to participate, the member shall refrain from voting, deliberating, or participating in the matter. → If a member of the Board of Fisheries or the Board of Game discloses a personal or financial interest relating to the involvement of the member, or an immediate family member of that member, in a business or organization relating to fish or game resources, the member is not disqualified from deliberating or participating in the matter. If the supervisor or a majority of the members of the respective board determine that the member's further involvement will result in a violation of AS 39.52.110 - 39.52.190, the board member may not vote on the matter.

    This change permits certain board members to engage in discussions and decisions even when personal or financial interests are disclosed, promoting their participation unless explicitly deemed a violation.
