Alaska Department of Law Delegation of Authority

In the matter involving possible compensability for health related issues for Assistant Attorney General Ron Opsahl, I, Treg R. Taylor, Attorney General, delegate my authority under AS 36.30.015(d) to the Department of Administration, Division of Risk Management to hire outside counsel for the limited purpose of seeking an unbiased and independent assessment related to the medical event that occurred on June 21, 2022, while Mr. Opsahl was in work status floating the Koyukok Bettles and Dietrich Rivers. This delegation is due to a potential conflict of interest under Alaska Rules of Professional Conduct 1.7(a). To avoid any appearance of impropriety or conflict of interest, Risk Management will be responsible for monitoring the contract, time, and bills submitted by independent outside counsel.

This arrangement is consistent with the Alaska Rules of Professional Conduct 1.7.
