Summary
Governor Dunleavy just vetoed six bills—including a Styrofoam ban and a cloud vendor lock-in prevention measure—while dozens of other laws became law, reshaping Alaska’s policies. The Styrofoam veto sparked backlash from environmental advocates and some Republicans. Meanwhile, a major crime bill raising the consent age to 18 passed without his signature, backed by Rep. Andrew Gray as a vital step against sexual assault. Gray also championed a property tax exemption bill to boost long-term housing, and Rep. Jamie Allard’s unanimous “Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children’s Bill of Rights” became law, empowering parents in education decisions.
