Bill > HB289

This bill, titled "Approp: Supplemental," makes various appropriations, including supplemental and capital appropriations, reappropriations, and other funding adjustments for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2026, with some provisions extending into subsequent fiscal years. It allocates funds to numerous state departments for operating expenditures, capital projects, and grants, covering areas such as energy assistance, correctional facilities, education programs, fisheries management, public health services, natural resource management, public safety, transportation infrastructure, and university operations. The bill also includes provisions for amending existing appropriations, capitalizing funds, and transferring funds between accounts, such as from the general fund to the Alaska higher education investment fund. Notably, it allows for appropriations from the constitutional budget reserve fund if unrestricted state revenue is insufficient to cover general fund appropriations for fiscal year 2026, as outlined in Article IX, Section 17(c) of the Alaska Constitution. Several sections specify that certain appropriations for capital projects will lapse under AS 37.25.020, while others for fund capitalization do not lapse. The bill also includes retroactivity clauses for specific sections, meaning they are considered effective from earlier dates, and establishes an immediate effective date for most of its provisions.
