The Alaska Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development is seeking public comment on its plan to reduce regulatory burdens on businesses while keeping rules essential for public health and safety. The regulatory reform plan was developed to comply with Governor Mike Dunleavy's Administrative Order 360, which directs state agencies to eliminate unnecessary regulations. The plan identifies which rules the department proposes to keep, modify, or eliminate across areas including business licensing, professional regulations, and economic development programs. The department oversees regulations affecting banks, insurance companies, corporations, professional licenses, and community development programs. Changes could affect how quickly businesses can get licensed, what documentation is required, and which activities need state approval. The full reform plan and cover sheet are available as downloadable documents on the state's online public notice system. The plan may be updated periodically as the review process continues. Questions and comments can be directed to Sara Chambers, Boards and Regulations Advisor, at [email protected]. The notice does not specify a comment deadline. The department will consider all submitted comments as it finalizes which regulatory changes to implement under Dunleavy's directive.
