Summary

Alaska Senate Bill 170, sponsored by Senator Bjorkman, proposes to amend state gaming statutes to address electronic pull-tab systems, pull-tabs, and bingo operations. The bill is currently under consideration by the Alaska Senate Finance Committee after passing Senate Labor and Commerce. If enacted, SB 170 would establish or modify regulatory requirements for electronic gaming systems operated by qualified organizations in Alaska.

What changed

SB 170 would amend Alaska's gaming laws to address electronic pull-tab systems and modify existing pull-tab and bingo regulations. The bill has progressed through Senate Labor and Commerce (with a committee substitute version CSSB 170(L&C) introduced 02/04/2026) and is awaiting action by the Senate Finance Committee as of March 2026. The legislation would affect organizations authorized to conduct pull-tab and bingo gaming in Alaska, potentially expanding the types of electronic systems permitted.

Nonprofits, tribal gaming operations, and retailers involved in pull-tab sales or electronic pull-tab systems in Alaska should monitor SB 170's progress through the legislative process. No compliance deadline is currently specified as the bill remains in committee. Organizations should review their current gaming authorizations and electronic systems to assess potential impact when the bill advances.

What to do next

  1. Monitor SB 170 progress through Alaska Senate Finance Committee
  2. Review current electronic pull-tab and bingo systems for compliance with anticipated new requirements
  3. Assess organizational gaming authorizations against proposed regulatory changes
