Operative words
Effective 8:00 am March 28, 2020. All in-state travel between communities, whether resident, worker, or visitor, is prohibited unless travel is to support critical infrastructure, or for critical personal needs. Certain Small Alaskan communities may implement further travel restriction pursuant to 'Alaska Small Community Emergency Travel Order - Attachment B.' Personal travel is prohibited except as necessary to meet critical personal needs or work in critical infrastructure jobs.... Travelers are reminded to follow social distancing measures, including, to the extent reasonably feasible, keeping six feet away from others, avoiding crowded places, and limiting public gatherings to less than ten people.... Air carriers shall inquire if travelers are permitted to travel under this mandate and shall rely upon a traveler's assurance that they are eligible to travel. This Mandate supersedes any local government or tribal mandate, directive, or order restricting intrastate travel. This mandate is in effect until rescinded
Enforcement
Criminal penalties under AS 12.55.035 and 12.55.135 (fine up to $25,000; imprisonment up to one year), as stated in the companion mandates; carrier inquiry duty
Notes
Force-of-law State order prohibiting intrastate travel, implemented by AMHS on every sailing (Ex. 083: 'All travel to or from a community off the road system or marine highway system is prohibited'). Same instrument as Ex. AK-014.
