Section 41.21.410. Purpose of AS 41.21.410 - 41.21.426.

The purpose of AS 41.21.410 - 41.21.426 is to empower the governor to restrict state owned land and water described in AS 41.21.415, except as provided in AS 41.21.426, to use as a public recreation area. Under 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 41.21.415 exceeds 640 acres, AS 41.21.410 - 41.21.426 are intended to provide for the closing of the land and water described in AS 41.21.415, as that description is modified by AS 41.21.426, to multiple purpose use in conformity with AS 38.05.300 and its subsequent designation as a special purpose site in accordance with art. VIII, sec. 7, of the Constitution of the State of Alaska.
