GLOGood Lookin’ Out

Alaska regulations: details

Copied from the state’s website on September 22 to 25, 2026. Check the official page before you rely on a rule.

What is here

25,715 numbers of the Alaska Administrative Code, copied in September 2026 from the Alaska Legislature’s BASIS website: 16,887 sections with text and 17 that print only a heading; 8,688 numbers the Legislature prints with a status only, such as “Repealed” or “Deleted,” 18 of them headings for a range of numbers; 110 sections whose text opens with a subsection status; 11 publisher notes; and 2 numbers listed in a table of contents with no text.
It is not the official text. On every section’s cross-reference page the Legislature says this copy is not the official version of the Alaska Administrative Code and is not legal advice.
Each entry shows its heading, any publisher notes and its text in the order the Legislature’s chapter page prints them.
A status entry is shown exactly as printed, with its label. If it names another number, we never look that number up for you.
The 110 sections whose text opens with a subsection status carry no status label. Read their text.
Authority and history come from each section’s cross-reference page and are shown as printed, typos included. They never say a section is in force.
Asking for a number that falls inside one of the 18 printed range headings returns that heading, marked as such.

How we checked it

Two programs written separately read every chapter page and agreed on all 25,715 entries, all 892 chapters and 53,842 test lookups.
We tested under a plan frozen before the test. The result was CLEAN.
A person read 150 random sections against the Legislature’s own pages and found none wrong in this copy. At that sample size the true error rate could still be as high as 2.5%. This checks our copying, not the Legislature’s text.
A separate check compared 236 sections restated in Registers 253 to 258 against the Lieutenant Governor’s filed Register copies. In 8 of them (3.4%) the Legislature’s own text carries a candidate error; the true rate for that group could be anywhere from 1.7% to 6.6%. That covers only those recently restated sections, says nothing about older text, and is never combined with the check above.

What it can't tell you

Whether a regulation is current, valid or in force.
Whether the text matches the official printed Code or the filed Registers, outside the 236 sections compared.
Anything the Legislature changed after September 2026.

Known gaps

548 sections show no Authority or history: for 391 the Legislature’s cross-reference page is blank, for 142 its lookup also returns another section’s record, and for 15 the page heads a different entry. Each says which.
The 2,286 “Article” headings in 368 chapters’ tables of contents are not carried.
7 sections are longer than 40,000 characters and come back cut off, marked as cut off.
18 AAC 60.025 holds a block that reads as the rest of 18 AAC 60.700. It stays where the Legislature files it, with a line on both sections.
For 6 AAC 30.480, 12 AAC 39.005 and 12 AAC 44.940 the Legislature’s one-section page orders heading, note and text differently from its chapter page. We follow the chapter page.
Keyword search reads section text only. Headings, notes, Authority, history and status-only numbers are not searched.

Notes you may see on an entry

391 sections with a blank cross-reference page: “The Legislature's cross-reference page for this number is blank.”
142 sections whose cross-reference lookup is not exact: “The Legislature's cross-reference lookup for this number also returns another section's record, so its Authority and history are not shown.”
13 sections whose cross-reference page heads a different entry: “The Legislature's cross-reference page for this number heads a different entry, so its Authority and history are not shown.”
2 numbers listed in a table of contents only: “Listed in the publisher's table of contents; no text is printed for it.”
The same 2 numbers, on their cross-reference page: “The Legislature's cross-reference page for this number repeats its table-of-contents heading and shows no Authority or history.”
3 sections with more than one Authority or history group (each line gives that section’s own counts): “The publisher prints 1 Authority and 2 history groups for this section; all are shown as printed.”
18 range headings: “The publisher's heading for a range of numbers; the text shown is printed once for the whole range.”
A number inside a range heading: “No section is printed under this number; it falls inside this range heading, shown as the publisher prints it.”
11 publisher notes: “The publisher prints only a note under this number, shown as printed; it is not the text of a section.”
17 headings with no text: “The publisher prints this heading with no text under it.”
18 AAC 60.025: “The publisher files under this number a block that begins 18 AAC 60.025(d), TABLE E-4, and reads as the rest of 18 AAC 60.700 (Fee requirements); it is shown here as printed.”
18 AAC 60.025, its table: “The publisher prints this table as running text; its columns are not preserved.”
18 AAC 60.700: “The publisher's text of this section stops mid-sentence; a block that reads as its continuation is filed under 18 AAC 60.025.”
22 AAC 20.023: “The publisher prints this heading as 20 AAC 20.023; its table of contents files it as 22 AAC 20.023.”
A lookup of Alaska Statutes: “That is Alaska statute law, not the Alaska Administrative Code. The lookup says so rather than returning nothing.”
