Thank you. Representative Kopp. Yeah, I just wanted to note for the record, Madam Chair, that I fully support the request by Representative Stutes. I don't think we have a board, a regulatory board in state government that is more sought to be weaponized by activists. And the process does matter.
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.
