Governor Dunleavy Signs Three New Bills into Law at the Alaska State Fair | Homepage [Video]

Governor Dunleavy chose the Alaska State Fair in Palmer as the setting for signing three new bills into law.

One of the new laws promotes Alaska’s growing agricultural sector. The bill provides new exemptions for certain farmed food products, homemade foods, and livestock so they can be sold directly to consumers online.

“The signing of House Bill 251 is a monumental step forward for Alaska’s future.

The third bill signed by the governor third modernizes the storage, distribution, sale, and safe use of fireworks.
