The Alaska Redistricting Board is in the process of approving new state house and senate districts for the 2022 election.

Last week, U.S. District Judge John Sedwick found that Governor Dunleavy and his former Chief of Staff violated the constitutional rights of Alaskans employed at the Alaska Psychiatric Institute who refused to pledge allegiance to the governor.

Last week, the legislature funded a $1,100 permanent fund dividend for the second time this year after it was previously vetoed by the governor.

On Tuesday, the House passed an appropriations bill that appropriates a $1,100 permanent fund dividend and rejects the governor’s proposed $3 billion overdraw from the Earnings Reserve Account.

The August special session will begin on August 16. The governor modified the call to include his proposed constitutional amendment (SJR 6/HJR 7) to constitutionalize the dividend.

Last week, the governor eliminated the Permanent Fund dividend and announced a series of line-item vetoes to the compromise budget that create uncertainty at a time when our economy and communities are recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic.

On Monday, the House finally approved a budget that avoids a government shutdown and protects the essential services Alaskans rely on.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, the legislature passed the state’s operating and capital budgets. The budget does not overdraw the Permanent Fund Earnings Reserve Account and includes an $1,100 dividend.
