(a) When a peace officer stops or contacts a person concerning the commission of a misdemeanor offense committed within a park or recreational facility subject to the department's supervision, the officer may issue a citation to the person, subject to the provisions of AS 12.25.180 - 12.25.230. The person receiving the citation may not be required to endorse the citation.
(b) The state supreme court shall identify those offenses that are amenable to disposition without court appearance and shall establish by rule or order a schedule of bail amounts, not to exceed fines prescribed by law, for those offenses. Before establishing or amending the schedule of bail amounts required by this subsection, the supreme court shall appoint and consult with an advisory committee consisting of two persons from the department, two district court judges, one member of the House Resources Committee, and one member of the Senate Resources Committee of the legislature. If the offense for which the citation is issued is one that may be disposed of without court appearance, the citing officer shall write on the citation the amount of bail applicable to the cited offense.
(c) A person cited for an offense for which a bail amount has been established under (b) of this section may, within 15 days from the date of the citation, mail or personally deliver to the clerk of the court having jurisdiction over the place where the offense occurred
(1) the amount of bail indicated on the citation for that offense; and
(2) a copy of the citation indicating the offender's waiver of appearance, plea of no contest, and direction to forfeit the bail and any items seized from the offender.
(d) When bail has been forfeited under this section, a judgment of conviction shall be entered. Forfeiture under this section of bail and items seized from the offender is a complete satisfaction for the offense, and the clerk of the court shall provide the offender with a receipt stating that fact if requested.
(e) If the person cited fails to pay the bail amount or appear in court as required, the citation shall be considered a summons for a misdemeanor charge and the offender shall be proceeded against in the manner prescribed by law.
(f) Notwithstanding other provisions of law, if a person cited for a misdemeanor for which a bail amount has been established under (b) of this section appears in court and is found guilty, the penalty that is imposed for the offense may not exceed the bail amount for that offense established under (b) of this section.
(a) The purpose of AS 41.21.185 - 41.21.189 is to establish, subject to valid existing rights including those rights created by the Afognak Island Road Use Agreement executed on July 24, 1991, and as amended from time to time, the state-owned or acquired land and water described in AS 41.21.186 as the Afognak Island State Park. The primary purposes of establishing the Afognak Island State Park are to protect the area's recreational and scenic resources; to protect the area's fish and wildlife habitat; to preserve and enhance the continued use of the area for sport and subsistence hunting and fishing, personal use fishing, trapping, recreational activities, and commercial fishing; and to restore and enhance resources and services injured by the Exxon Valdez oil spill.
(b) Under the provisions of AS 38.05.300 , state land, water, or land and water containing more than 640 acres may be closed to multiple purpose use only by act of the legislature. Because the area described in AS 41.21.186 exceeds 640 acres, AS 41.21.185 - 41.21.189 are intended to close the described land and water to multiple purpose use in conformity with AS 38.05.300 and to dedicate them as a special purpose site in accordance with art. VIII, sec. 7, Constitution of the State of Alaska.
(c) The legislature recognizes the rights of the owners of the private land that adjoins the Afognak Island State Park established in AS 41.21.185 - 41.21.189. The status of the land as a park will not impair the uses to which private land that adjoins the park may be put in the future.
(a) The state-owned or acquired land and water lying within the following parcel, containing approximately 1,428,320 acres, is designated as the Wood-Tikchik State Park: beginning at the SE corner of T7S, R54W, S.M., which is the true point of beginning; thence westerly to the NE corner of T8S, R58W, S.M.; thence southerly to the SE corner of T8S, R58W, S.M.; thence westerly to the SW corner of T8S, R58W, S.M.; thence northerly to the NW corner of T5S, R58W, S.M.; thence westerly to the SW corner of Section 34, T4S, R58W, S.M.; thence northerly to the NE corner of Section 4, T1S, R58W, S.M.; thence westerly to the SW corner of T1N, R57W, S.M.; thence northerly to the NW corner of T2N, R57W, S.M.; thence easterly to the NE corner of T2N, R57W, S.M.; thence northerly to the NW corner of T4N, R56W, S.M.; thence easterly to the SW corner of T5N, R55W, S.M.; thence northerly to the NW corner of T5N, R55W, S.M.; thence easterly to the NE corner of T5N, R55W, S.M.; thence southerly to the SE corner of T5N, R55W, S.M.; thence easterly to the NE corner of T4N, R54W, S.M.; thence southerly to the SE corner of T4N, R54W, S.M.; thence easterly to the NE corner of T3N, R53W, S.M.; thence southerly to the SE corner of T3N, R53W, S.M.; thence easterly to the NE corner of T2N, R52W, S.M.; thence southerly to the SW corner of T1N, R51W, S.M.; thence easterly to the NE corner of T1S, R52W, S.M.; thence southerly to the SE corner of T2S, R52W, S.M.; thence easterly to the NE corner of T3S, R51W, S.M.; thence southerly to the SE corner of T3S, R51W, S.M.; thence westerly to the NE corner of T4S, R53W, S.M.; thence southerly to the SE corner of T4S, R53W, S.M.; thence westerly to the NE corner of T5S, R54W, S.M.; thence southerly to the SE corner of T7S, R54W, S.M., which point is the true point of beginning.

(b) The department may not charge or collect a fee for an ordinary use of a park unit or the use of a restroom in a park unit.
(c) The department shall establish the fees that may be charged or collected under (a) of this section by regulation. Before setting the fees, the department shall consider at public hearings
(1) the cost to the state of operating the facility or managing the activity;
(2) the normal fees charged for similar facilities or activities by governmental and nongovernmental entities;
(3) the cost of administering a fee collection program for the facility or activity; and
(4) the public interest.
(d) The department shall issue free of charge to disabled veterans of this country an annual state park developed campsite permit. The permit shall allow a disabled veteran to use a state park developed campsite for personal recreation use without a charge or fee under (a)(2) of this section. While utilizing a developed campsite without charge under this subsection, the disabled veteran shall comply with all other statutes or regulations pertaining to the use of the developed campsite. The department shall provide a form for use by a disabled veteran when applying for a permit under this section. Not later than February 1 of each year, the department shall prepare a report on the number of permits issued to disabled veterans under this subsection during the previous calendar year and notify the legislature that the report is available.
(e) In this section, 'developed campsite' means a campsite having access to the following public facilities:
(1) restrooms;
(2) a picnic table;
(3) an outdoor cooking facility; and
(4) an approved water source.
(a) The state land and water described in AS 41.21.172 are assigned to the department for control, maintenance, and development consistent with the purposes and provisions of AS 41.21.170 - 41.21.178.
(b) The Department of Fish and Game is responsible for the management of fish and game resources in the Shuyak Island State Park, consistent with the sustained yield principle and the purposes and provisions of this chapter. The Board of Fisheries, the Board of Game, and the commissioner of fish and game are responsible for adopting regulations governing uses of fish and game in accordance with AS 16. The fish and game habitat and breeding areas shall be managed to ensure that the fish and game resources of the park continue on a sustained yield basis. In managing the fish and game resources of the Shuyak Island State Park and adopting regulations governing uses of the fish and game, the Board of Fisheries, the Board of Game, or the commissioner of fish and game may not permanently close any fishing, hunting, or trapping within the park unless the closure is implemented because of a biological emergency. A closure implemented because of a biological emergency (1) may continue in effect only as long as the biological emergency continues to exist, and (2) must be reevaluated on a regular basis, not less than annually, to justify that the closure continues to be necessary.
(c) The department shall consult with the Department of Fish and Game before adoption of regulations governing public use of the Shuyak Island State Park.
(d) The Department of Fish and Game shall consult with the department before adoption of regulations governing fish and game management in Shuyak Island State Park.
(e) The regulations established under this section shall be adopted in accordance with AS 44.62 (Administrative Procedure Act).
(f) The commissioner shall permit reasonable camping within the Shuyak Island State Park on an extended basis on request.
(g) Nothing in AS 41.21.170 - 41.21.178 prohibits the Department of Fish and Game from engaging in rehabilitation, enhancement, and development of fish and game habitat under AS 16.05 on land and water within the Shuyak Island State Park.
(h) The Department of Public Safety and the Department of Fish and Game shall have necessary access for fish and game management, research, and enforcement purposes.
(a) The purpose of AS 41.21.610 - 41.21.630 is to establish the state-owned land and water described in AS 41.21.611 (b) as the Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve as part of the state park system. The primary purpose for establishing the Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve is to protect and perpetuate the Chilkat bald eagles and their essential habitats within the Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve in recognition of their statewide, nationally, and internationally significant values in perpetuity.
(b) The Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve is also established to
(1) protect and sustain the natural salmon spawning and rearing areas of the Chilkat River and Chilkoot River systems within the preserve in perpetuity;
(2) provide continued opportunities for research, study and enjoyment of bald eagles and other wildlife;
(3) ensure to the maximum extent practicable water quality and necessary water quantity under applicable laws;
(4) provide for other public uses consistent with the primary purpose for which the Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve is established; and
(5) provide an opportunity for the continued traditional and natural resource based lifestyle of the people living in the general areas described in AS 41.21.611 (b), consistent with the other purposes of this subsection and (a) of this section.
(c) It is the intent of the legislature in enacting AS 41.21.610 - 41.21.630 to provide sufficient protection for the purposes for which the Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve is established. Accordingly, the establishment of the Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve and the Haines State Forest Resource Management Area under AS 41.15.305 is determined to represent a proper balance between the reservation of state public domain land and water for bald eagle preserve purposes and state public domain land and water more appropriate for multiple use. Therefore, the legislature determines that there is no need for legislation expanding or contracting the boundary of the Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve in the future; the legislature further determines that study by a state agency of the expansion or contracting of the boundary of the preserve shall be conducted under AS 41.21.621 .
(d) Inasmuch as the area described in AS 41.21.611 (b) exceeds 640 acres, AS 41.21.610 - 41.21.630 are intended to close the area to multiple use in conformity with AS 38.05.300 and the land is dedicated as a special purpose site under art. VIII, Sec. 7 of the state constitution.
(a) Subject to the restrictions in this section, the state may enter into concession contracts under AS 36 to provide services or construct facilities in a park unit.
(b) The state may not enter into a concession contract under (a) of this section if the proposed contract involves estimated annual gross receipts of more than $100,000, construction of facilities, a term longer than four years, or the provision of services other than those normally provided at similar facilities managed by the state, unless the commissioner finds that the proposed concession contract
(1) will implement the purposes of the park unit and is authorized by the park management plan, if any, that applies to the park unit;
(2) will enhance public use and enjoyment of the park unit while maintaining a high quality environment and the opportunity for high quality recreational experiences;
(3) will provide services or facilities that are not feasible or affordable for the state to provide directly;
(4) will not create unacceptable adverse environmental effects;
(5) is based on a need and desire of the public;
(6) recognizes and accommodates, at no cost, ordinary uses in a park unit;
(7) requires the contractor to hire residents of the state, to the extent available and qualified, when hiring persons to work in the park under the contract;
(8) provides the state with a fair and equitable portion, in money or services, of the contractor's receipts from the provision of the service or the operation of the facility;
(9) provides that the department retains control over the level of fees and the design and appearance of any facility to be constructed;
(10) encourages the contractor to accommodate visitors with special circumstances, including handicapped persons, senior citizens, and school children; and
(11) provides that the contract may be terminated if the contractor fails to fulfill the requirements of this section or the contract.
(c) Before bids or proposals are sought or contract negotiations begun for a concession contract under (b) of this section, the commissioner shall
(1) make a preliminary inquiry at the local level to identify community concerns;
(2) if it is appropriate to proceed further, make a preliminary decision that includes the findings required by (b) of this section and
(A) an assessment of existing visitor uses that may be affected by the activities of the contractor;
(B) an assessment of the potential conflicts or significant effects on park wildlife, water, scenic values, or other resources;
(C) an identification of the types of services or goods that the contractor is to provide;
(D) the terms and conditions of the contract;
(E) a determination of whether the contract activity would be more appropriately located on land outside of the park or on private land within the park; and
(F) the views and comments of the park advisory board, when one exists, for the park unit in which the activity is being considered;
(3) after making a preliminary decision under (2) of this subsection,
(A) seek public comment on the preliminary decision through reasonable public notice and, if facilities may be built under the concession contract, conduct public hearings;
(B) after considering the public comment obtained under this paragraph, issue a final decision on whether or not the state will proceed into a concession contract award process.
(d) The commissioner shall provide for public review and comment before a concession contract under this section is renewed or extended.
(e) The commissioner may adopt regulations to implement this section.
(f) A person who enters into a concession contract with the state under this section may not charge or collect a fee for an ordinary use of a park unit or for the use of a restroom in a park unit.
(g) With the exception of guided tours and noncompetitive commercial use permits, concessions or commercial activities are not permitted within the Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve.
(a) The presently state-owned land and water, and all that acquired in the future by the state, lying within the parcels described in this section are designated as the Kachemak Bay State Park. In order to protect and preserve this land and water for its unique and exceptional scenic value, the park is established and shall be managed as a scenic park.
