§ 8.35.416. Prohibited acts regarding alcohol consumption, sales and distribution corresponding to and adopted from Alaska Statutes.

A.

The following sections described herein are intended to reflect the Alaska Statutes Title 4, chapter 16, as it currently exists and as may exist or be amended hereafter. The specific sections iterated in this chapter 8.35.416 which proscribe misdemeanor criminal and minor offense penalties regarding alcohol possession, consumption, sales and distribution are hereby adopted and incorporated in the Anchorage Municipal Code as they currently exist and as may exist or be amended hereafter. The digits of the section numbers after the title and chapter digits are 416 to indicate the section is adopted from Alaska Statutes Title 4, Chapter 16, followed by the corresponding section numbering of the statute section adopted by the code section; i.e., section 8.35.416.015 refers to the code section which corresponds to and adopts AS 04.16.015.

B.

Sections of Alaska Statutes Title 4, Chapter 16, which relate to alcohol sales and distribution in areas of the state opting out of alcohol sales are not included in this section. Code section numbers, intended to mirror state code, may skip certain state statutes due to the omission of sections relating to dry areas of the state or regulating felony level offenses. Those offenses omitted here are not punishable under this Code.

C.

If any section numbered beginning with 8.35.416 of this chapter is in conflict or inconsistent with the corresponding section of AS 04.16, the state statute shall govern; provided that the municipality may prosecute the offense under the code section with the statute section incorporated by reference.

D.

All terms in this chapter are given the definitions assigned to them in AS 04.21.080, or as defined in sections of AS 04.16 corresponding to the offenses in 8.35.416, unless otherwise expressly provided herein.
