AS 21.06.090: Regulations.

(a) The director may adopt reasonable regulations to effectuate this title. A regulation may not extend, modify, or conflict with any law of this state or the reasonable implications thereof. Except for regulations adopted under AS 21.06.250, a regulation affecting a person or matter other than the personnel or the internal affairs of the director's office shall be adopted or amended only after a hearing, of which notice was given as required by AS 21.06.200. If reasonably possible the director shall set out the proposed regulation or amendment in or with the notice of hearing. A regulation or amendment as to which a hearing is required is not effective until it has been on file as a public record in the director's office for at least 10 days.

(b) In addition to any other penalty provided, wilful violation of a regulation subjects the violator to the administrative penalty prescribed for that violation.
