Sponsor Statement for SJR 30
Repeal of Regulations by the Legislature

Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Alaska relating to the repeal of regulations by the legislature.
Updated: February 16, 2000

SJR 30 is a proposed amendment to the Constitution of the State of Alaska. It would grant the legislature the authority to repeal a regulation adopted by a state agency that is inconsistent with the enabling statue.

The legislature does not have authority at this time to change onerous regulations that are not within the original intent of the enabling statute. The only way the legislature can make changes is by recommendation or by statutory change to better clarify the original intent.

This issue has come before the voters in the past, several people have approached the Administrative Regulation Review Committee to try again. SJR 30 is supported by the Alaska State Chamber of Commerce, the National Federation of Independent Business.
