The Alaska Legislature goes back into regular session Jan. 19 and some lawmakers already have prefiled bills, including one "establishing a fisheries enhancement permit."
House Bill 220 is sponsored by Rep. David Talerico, R-Healy. He's co-chair of the House Resources Committee.
No sponsor statement is available yet for HB 220, and the impetus for the legislation is unclear from the language of the bill itself.
So make of it what you will.
