Bill > SB137

This bill extends the termination dates for several professional boards in Alaska, effectively prolonging their legal authorization to operate. Specifically, the bill extends the termination date for the Board of Certified Direct-Entry Midwives, the Board of Nursing, and the Board of Veterinary Examiners from June 30, 2025, to June 30, 2031, and extends the Board of Parole's termination date from June 30, 2025, to June 30, 2029. The bill includes a special provision exempting itself from a statutory limitation that would normally prevent a single bill from continuing or reestablishing more than one board or commission. Additionally, the bill includes a retroactivity clause, meaning that if the act takes effect after June 30, 2025, its provisions will be considered retroactive to that date. This type of legislation is common in state governments to ensure that professional regulatory boards continue to have the legal authority to perform their duties and regulate their respective professional fields.
