Administrative Order 360
Public Engagement

On August 4, 2025, Governor Dunleavy issued Administrative Order (AO) 360 addressing regulatory reform in Alaska and requiring stakeholder engagement. Per the AO:

Stakeholder feedback is essential and required at all stages of regulatory reform. Accordingly, each agency shall:

• Solicit written and oral input from the public, affected industries, and community organizations regarding which regulations are the most burdensome and should be prioritized for reform, and how the agency’s regulatory system could be reorganized or simplified.
• Document and publish stakeholder and public feedback and agency responses.

The full AO can be found here: Administrative Order 360

The Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing (the “division”) is undertaking this solicitation process to ask the public for ideas, suggestions, and input before the division drafts or proposes any specific regulation amendments or repeals for public review.
The Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing is particularly interested in specific ideas for regulatory change that may:

• clarify existing regulatory obligations;
• reduce costs for the public, industry, or government;
• improve or streamline procedures, application requirements, and review processes, for example reducing the time required to apply for a license, permit, or benefit;
• reduce administrative burdens;
• streamline permitting procedures;
• improving communication procedures;
• provide greater transparency with respect to standards, decision-making, and rationales for application processing; or
• clarify interagency roles.
