Suspending Rules 24(c), 35, 41(b), and 42(e), Uniform Rules of the Alaska State Legislature, concerning House Joint Resolution No. 18, supporting the continued development of the Alaska Liquefied Natural Gas Project; recognizing the importance of the Alaska Liquefied Natural Gas Project to the economy of the state, energy independence, and national security; and urging the United States Congress, President Donald J. Trump, Secretary of the Interior Douglas Burgum, and relevant federal agencies to take all necessary actions to expedite the success of the Alaska Liquefied Natural Gas Project.

Senate Concurrent Resolution 18 is a procedural measure that temporarily suspends specific state legislative rules to allow the title of House Joint Resolution No. 18 to be changed. This change enables the resolution to formally support the Alaska Liquefied Natural Gas Project and urge federal officials to expedite its development. The resolution does not alter laws or create new policies but serves as a formal statement of support for the project's economic and security benefits.
