An Act relating to the selection and conveyance of municipal general grant lands; providing for the transfer of real property to the Matanuska-Susitna Borough; and providing for an effective date.

Summary

The measure amends Alaska statutes to require the Department of Natural Resources director to review municipal land selections within nine months and to issue patents within three months after survey approval or a municipality’s notice of acceptance without a survey. It also rescinds approvals for land that was not vacant at the time of selection, unless the land has been sold or leased to a third party, and clarifies survey cost responsibilities. The changes affect all Alaska municipalities, including the Matanuska‑Susitna Borough, by tightening the grant process and ensuring proper land classification.
