Statutes
and Regulations
Alaska
Statutes are passed by the Legislature. Regulations
(also called the Alaska Administrative Code) are rules
adopted by the board to implement, interpret, and make
specific the statutes. Both statutes and regulations
have the force of law.
AS
08.71 and regulations 12 AAC 30 specifically govern
dispensing optician practice. AS 08.01 - 08.03 and regulations
12 AAC 02 apply to all professions regulated by the
division.
Proposed
regulations are advertised in Alaska newspapers and
we invite public comment on them. If you would like
to receive notice of proposed regulations, please write
to the regulations specialist and request that your
name be added to the Dispensing Optician interested
parties list. Please advise us if you move or wish your
name removed from the mailing list.
