HB 348
Board of Game Regulations
HB 348 'Board of Game Regulations.' This bill intends to remove the public from having the means to participate in the management of our wildlife resources. This bill adds language to the statutes governing the Board of Game's use of intensive management programs by changing our wildlife from a public resource to a "public asset."
Current Status:Returned to House Rules Committee.

This Language in HB 348 would:
- Lump wildlife resources together with oil or minerals, which are out of the reach of public initiatives.
- Remove citizen's initiatives from wildlife resource issues and would nullify the upcoming state wide initiative in August, which 56,000 Alaskan's signed to put on the ballot.
- Rebukes the vote of the citizens of this state in 2000 when 62% of Alaskan's voted against a constitutional amendment that attempted to remove the initiative process in managing our wildlife resources.
- Puts the entire decision-making authority for wildlife management in the hands of the Alaska Board of Game.
Other Talking Points:
- These are resources that are mandated for the benefit of all Alaskans in the state constitution and therefore we should all have a say in the management process.
- Currently, non-consumptive users currently have zero representation on the Board of Game. The composition of the current Board could place our wildlife at risk.
- The initiative process is one of the only tools we, as Alaskans, have left for our voices heard.
