House Resources Committee adopts committee substitute for bill expanding, renaming refuge around Homer airport The House Resources Committee adopted a sponsor committee substitute for House Bill 321, which would expand and rename the Homer Airport Critical Habitat Area to include the Beluga Wetlands complex, restore 'natural habitats' to the statute's purpose language, and clarify limits on firearm discharges; the CS was set aside for a future hearing and agencies will be invited to provide technical feedback.

The House Resources Committee is making significant strides to expand and protect wildlife areas around Homer, including renaming the Homer Airport Critical Habitat to the Beluga Wetlands Complex.
