HB 134 amends sections of the Alaska Ski Safety Act that have proven to be unenforceable. The proposed amendments are technical in nature; they clarify the statutes and are consistent with the original provisions of the Alaska Ski Safety Act.

Enacted by the 18^th Alaska State Legislature, the Alaska Ski Safety Act defines the rights and responsibilities of both ski areas and skiers. In accordance with the Act, HB 134 allows for citations to be issued in ski areas throughout the State and provides the Court with the necessary authority to adopt the bail forfeiture schedule for the violations included in the Statute. These measures will allow for full implementation and improved enforcement of the original Alaska Ski Safety Act.
