REGULATOR ' S CORNER
AMCO wishes you all a prosperous and happy new year . Here are a few updates for you .
• If you have applied to renew your biennial license for 2024 to 2025 , you will be receiving a license extension letter from AMCO in the coming days . That will serve as your license until we can complete review .
• If you are still required to apply for your restaurant endorsement to replace your restaurant designation permit , please do so . You will have received calls and emails from us if you require the same . We don ’ t want to be issuing citations for operating without a restaurant endorsement . So , apply soon . And contact us at ( 907 ) 269-0350 if you have questions on the same .
• We are testing on our online permit application system on AK- ACCIS the week of February 21 st . If it meets all test objectives , the system will go live on February 28 , 2024 . We will still receive applications in paper and by email , but we encourage you to apply online for your catered and other events .
• Last , if you are employing 16- or 17-year-old minors , please make sure your employee or you on behalf of your employee secure required work permits from the Department of Labor . Pleaser review child labor requirements here . Most of AMCO ’ s enforcement actions as of late has been for failure to satisfy this requirement . We would much prefer you to show us that the work permits are in place than to issue a notice of violation or uniform citation .
Until next issue .
