Types of Research Fees
Research of Alaska Statutes (AS) or Alaska Administrative Code (AAC) can be accomplished for a flat fee based on turnaround time. If we are unable to locate sufficient documents on the legislative or administrativ history, we will revert to an hourly rate. Call us at (800) 666-1917 for a free fee quote.
If your code section of interest has a long and complicated annotated history, we can trace the language for a fee. We would include our trace report and our recommendation. For more information about tracing please visit our explanation on our FAQ page.
Types of Materials You Can Expect
For AS, our research generally includes, but is not limited to, hearing minutes with relevant exhibits, a bill history, amended versions of the enacting bill, published amendments, analyses of the policy and fiscal committees of each House, post-enrollment materials, and background information, such as relevant competing and prior legislation. Typically, we work with the enacting state entity, such as the Alaska State Legislature or relevant state agency.
Regulatory research is provided two ways:
1) tracing of the language to its original adoption; and
2) obtaining the regulatory file maintained by the agency on the rulemaking.
