An Act expanding the Tanana Valley State Forest; and providing for an effective date.

HB 218 expands the Tanana Valley State Forest by adding specific parcels of land described in legal terms (e.g., sections within townships 1 North, Ranges 2-5 East/West, Fairbanks Meridian). It directly affects the forest's boundary definition, incorporating previously unincorporated state-owned land into the designated forest area. The bill’s key mechanism is a technical revision to the legal description of the forest’s boundaries, with no new policies, funding, or management changes. It is procedural in nature, focusing solely on boundary clarification rather than substantive policy. The bill provides an effective date for this boundary update but does not alter public access or forest management rules.
