AML Resolutions
These resolutions address changes to State and Federal policies in order to promote maximum self-governance and address the challenges of Alaska’s local governments. AML’s Legislative Committee works with staff and our lobbying team to advance these efforts, following the direction of the AML Board of Directors.
AML resolutions are member-driven and adopted by a majority of members participating in the Annual Business Meeting. Carryforward resolutions are reconsidered annually and adopted if still relevant.
