We're back on the record at 10:34 AM. Vice Chair Fields. For clarity, I'm just going to restate the motion. I move and ask unanimous consent the Legislative Budget and Audit Committee approve the special audit request related to the Board of Fisheries and that the audit cover October 12th, 2023 through July 1st, 2026. That simply provides clarity for the full audit period as referenced by Senator Wilkowski.
The Alaska Legislative Budget and Audit Committee voted unanimously Thursday to commission a special audit of the Board of Fisheries, examining whether the board followed its own statutes, regulations, and public-notice requirements from October 2023 through July 2026.

Chris Curtis submitted her resignation as Alaska's legislative auditor effective August 30, ending more than 34 years with the division. A three-person subcommittee will review applicants and recommend a nominee to the full committee in August, followed by separate House and Senate confirmation votes.
