Important note to reader: Regulations are adopted by agencies and approved by the Executive Branch. They add detail to the general authority given in Alaska's Statutes, which are passed by the State Legislature. The links in the "BASIS Link" column in the below table are to DEC regulations stored in the Legislative Affairs Agency's website. They are updated quarterly so they may not reflect current law.
