The purpose of Alaska Stat. § 41.21.410 – 41.21.426 is to empower the governor to restrict state owned land and water described in Alaska Stat. § 41.21.415, except as provided in Alaska Stat. § 41.21.426, to use as a public recreation area. Under Alaska Stat. § 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 Alaska Stat. § 41.21.415 exceeds 640 acres, Alaska Stat. § 41.21.410 – 41.21.426 are intended to provide for the closing of the land and water described in Alaska Stat. § 41.21.415, as that description is modified by Alaska Stat. § 41.21.426, to multiple purpose use in conformity with Alaska Stat. § 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.
