Bill > HB82

This bill amends Alaska state law by officially designating the Nanuqsaurus as the state's official dinosaur. The Nanuqsaurus, a small theropod dinosaur that lived in Alaska during the Late Cretaceous period approximately 70 million years ago, would be formally recognized through an addition to Title 44, Chapter 09 of the Alaska Statutes. The bill includes a standard provision that it will take effect immediately upon passage, as specified in Alaska Statute 01.10.070(c). By creating this official designation, the bill aims to highlight a unique piece of Alaska's prehistoric natural history and potentially increase public awareness about the state's paleontological heritage.
