SCR 11 Alaska Senate · 34th Legislature (2025-2026)

Establishing a legislative commission to review and make recommendations to the legislature relating to the official state seal.

SCR 11 is a resolution establishing a 14-member legislative commission to review Alaska's official state seal. The commission will evaluate whether the current seal - described as emphasizing "western exploration, resource extraction, and agricultural activity" while excluding Alaska Native cultures - adequately represents the state's values. Key provisions include recommending seal changes, creating educational materials about its history, and submitting a final report to the legislature by May 14, 2027. The commission requires balanced representation, including members from Alaska Native organizations, cultural institutions, and a high school student. This procedural resolution does not change the seal itself but initiates a formal review process.
