The Alaska Sea party has collected over 33,500 signatures in support of a ballot for restoring the state's Coastal Management Plan.

The sea party hopes that the Alaska State Legislature passes a similar law so that the initiative won't be necessary.

However, if they don't pass a law, the legislative should be on the August ballot.

If the legislature extends more than 3 days, it will be on the November ballot.

Alaska has not had a Coastal Management Plan in over 6 months.

Officials from all over the state said that it has affected many businesses and contractors who have had problems getting permits.

Juneau Mayor Bruce Botelho said that once a new plan is federally approved, it may still take from 18 months to 2 years to the plan up and running.
