An Act extending the termination date of the Board of Certified Direct-Entry Midwives; extending the termination date of the Board of Nursing; extending the termination date of the Board of Veterinary Examiners; extending the termination date of the Board of Parole; and providing for an effective date.

SB 137 extends the expiration dates for four Alaska state boards to prevent them from automatically dissolving. It updates statutory deadlines to set the Board of Certified Direct-Entry Midwives and Board of Nursing to expire on June 30, 2031, the Board of Veterinary Examiners to June 30, 2031, and the Board of Parole to June 30, 2029. The bill also includes a retroactive effective date of June 30, 2025, and exempts it from a rule prohibiting multiple board extensions. This procedural bill directly affects the regulated professions overseen by these boards (midwives, nurses, veterinarians, and parole oversight) by maintaining their current governance structures.
