Alaska Public Records Act

All public records requests in Alaska are governed by the Alaska Public Records Act, AS 40.25.100-295. You don't need to state a reason when you ask for a record. The law covers state agencies including AST, and also covers borough-level records held by KPB. Agencies have 10 working days to respond. If a request is complex, they may take an additional 10 days, but must notify you. If denied, you have 60 working days to appeal.

Records that may be withheld include active investigation files, juvenile records, certain internal personnel documents, and anything sealed by a court. If your request is denied in part, the agency must explain which specific exemption it is applying.

Kenai Peninsula Borough Public Records

The Kenai Peninsula Borough handles borough-level records through its GovQA portal. Submit requests at kpb.us. You'll need to create an account to submit and track your request. KPB Clerk Johni Blankenship manages this process. Her contact is jblankenship@kpb.us or (907) 714-2160. The borough office is at 144 North Binkley Street, Soldotna AK 99669.
