Alaska Trappers Association, Inc., and National Trappers Association, Inc. v. City of Valdez (2024)
“The Trappers argued that AS 16.20.010 “specifically asserted [the State’s] jurisdiction over all fish and game in the State except in those areas where it has assented to federal control,” and that Valdez’s trapping ordinance operated as an improper veto of a state determination.”
