Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to SB 78 establishes May 31 as "Katie John Day" to honor the contributions of Ahtna Athabascan elder Katie John in protecting the rights to customary hunting, fishing, and gathering for Alaska Natives. The bill was simplified by removing a provision that specified an effective date for the law, meaning it will now take effect immediately without additional formalities. This change emphasizes the importance of recognizing Katie John's legacy as soon as possible.
