Construction.

(a) This chapter shall be construed to achieve the purposes set out in AS 21.79.010 .

(b) This chapter is intended to provide coverage to a person who is a resident of this state and, in special circumstances, to a nonresident. In order to avoid duplicate coverage, if a person who would otherwise receive coverage under this chapter is provided coverage under the law of any other state, the person may not be provided coverage under this chapter. In determining the application of the provisions of this subsection, in situations where a person could be covered by the association of more than one state, whether as an owner, payee, beneficiary, or assignee, this chapter shall be construed in conjunction with other state laws to result in coverage by only one association.
