An Act relating to maintenance of transportation facilities in wildland urban interface zones.

HB 317 requires Alaska's Department of Transportation to prioritize maintenance of state roads in wildland urban interface zones - areas where communities are accessible by only one route and face wildfire risks. The department must consult local municipalities, community groups, and regional organizations to develop annual maintenance plans focused on wildfire season preparation and fuel load management. It mandates a report by December 2026 detailing how these roads will be prioritized for maintenance. This affects transportation planning for vulnerable communities in fire-prone areas and modifies existing duties under Alaska Statute 44.42.020.
