In 2014 the revisor of statutes, acting under AS 01.05.031, renumbered paragraphs in AS 47.30.915 to place definitions in alphabetical order; as a result, the definition of "state" was moved from AS 47.30.915(18) to AS 47.30.915(20). As of Register 212 (January 2015), the regulations attorney made a conforming technical revision under AS 44.62. 125(b)(6), to 11 AAC 99.990(1) (C) (defining "Alaska mental health trust"), so that the cross-reference to former AS 47.30.915(18) now refers to the renumbered paragraph, AS 47.30.915(20).
