Beginning June 30, 2026, Cooper Landing Emergency Services can use its existing $92,748 grant for more needs. Allowed uses include firefighting gear, personal protective equipment updates and replacement, building maintenance, and repairs. The change expands grant uses without adding new money.
Fish and Game reinvests equipment sales
Fish and Game receives an estimated $150,000 from sales of state-owned vessels and aircraft bought without federal funds. The money supports vessel and aircraft renewal, replacement, and maintenance. Another estimated $200,000 comes from sales of department equipment bought with federal funds for federal projects. That money must support equipment renewal, replacement, and maintenance for those same federal projects. Both appropriations cover qualifying proceeds received during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027.
Governor projects and election security receive funding
The law provides $1.0328 million from the Election Fund for a Help America Vote Act election security grant. The Office of the Governor receives the funding; the law does not name grant recipients. Beginning June 30, 2026, the office also can reuse unspent, uncommitted general funds from five fiscal year 2025 appropriations. Those balances support facility repairs, technology upgrades, food security, election equipment and security, and resource development analyses and process reviews. The amount available from those balances is not specified.
Legislature reuses funds for outreach and repairs
Beginning June 30, 2026, the Legislative Council can reuse up to $500,000 from specified unspent, uncommitted general fund appropriations.

These funds follow Alaska's capital-project expiration rules unless another rule applies.
Troopers receive protective gear and aircraft repairs
The law provides $375,000 for Alaska State Troopers' ballistic protection and $2 million for aircraft engines and safety upgrades. These funds follow Alaska's capital-project expiration rules unless another rule applies.

Emergency medical services receive matching funds
The law provides $500,000 in matching funds for the Code Blue emergency medical services project. The funding supports participating emergency medical services entities. It follows Alaska's capital-project expiration rules unless another rule applies.
Medicaid service approvals and assessments get funding
The Department of Health can redirect up to $7.125675 million in unused, uncommitted prior funds to build a Medicaid service approval system. Senior and disability assessment capacity receives up to $1.841469 million for fiscal years ending June 30, 2027, 2028, and 2029. That includes up to $780,134 in federal receipts, up to $211,335 in general funds, and up to $850,000 in general funds. The federal assessment funds come after the Medicaid system allocation, and all redirected funding remains limited by available prior balances. These changes fund administration and assessments, not new eligibility rules or benefit amounts.
Veterans and seniors home gets repair funds
The law redirects an estimated $272,000 to deferred maintenance at the Alaska Veterans' and Pioneers' Home. The Department of Family and Community Services uses money left from the prior Palmer home roof replacement appropriation. Only unused funds not already committed are available. This funds facility repairs, not payments to residents.
Alaska communities get disaster recovery receipts
The Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development receives federal receipts for community development block grant disaster recovery programs.

That funding uses qualifying federal reserve revenues received by the special revenue fund by June 30, 2026. The Alaska Municipal League receives $450,000 to help carry out and sustain federal infrastructure projects; its funding and Community Block Grants follow capital-project expiration rules unless otherwise provided.

Alaska tourism and winter games receive support
The Alaska Travel Industry Association receives $6 million for tourism marketing in national and international markets. Fairbanks North Star Borough receives $500,000 for Arctic Winter Games planning and support. These grants fund marketing and event preparation, not direct household payments.

Extra receipts remain available for state programs
The law makes qualifying receipts above its existing appropriations available for their related program purposes. Covered sources include federal funds, designated program receipts, information services, the Exxon Valdez trust, housing finance, and marine highways. Vaccine assessments, University of Alaska receipts, highway equipment working capital, and commercial fisheries test-fishing receipts also qualify. Receipts must arrive during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027, and pass the required program review process. State fund balances held on June 30, 2026, are excluded; no dollar amount is specified.
Federal money funds Alaska permitting dashboard
The law directs federal receipts to Natural Resources to create a statewide project permitting dashboard. Funding covers receipts received during the fiscal years ending June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2027. The amount depends on receipts received and is not specified. This funding does not itself change household eligibility or permit requirements.
Insurance recoveries support state loss recovery
The law directs received insurance settlements and other loss recoveries from the general fund to a state reserve or agency.

These capital grants follow state lapse rules unless otherwise provided. The authority also receives qualifying federal tax-credit receipts arriving during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. Those receipts must come from authority-funded renewable energy projects and support renewable projects or matching funds for federal grants. No total receipt amount or household energy savings are specified.
Alaska ports get cargo and power upgrades
Anchorage receives $15 million to replace the Port of Alaska cargo terminal. The Alaska Energy Authority administers $9.15 million each for electrification at Juneau and Ketchikan cruise ship terminals.

Tax system funding depends on separate laws
The law sets aside general funds for Revenue Department tax software and related technology updates. Electronic smoking product tax updates receive $250,000, contingent on enactment of SB 24 or similar tax legislation. North Slope natural gas volume-tax updates receive $500,000, contingent on enactment of HB 381, SB 280, or similar legislation. Another $500,000 covers separate tax-law changes requiring system updates, contingent on enactment of those laws.

School and campus funding requires higher oil

It provides state matching money for federal funds under the U.S. Department of Energy’s State Energy Program. The amount is estimated at $650,000 and is limited to money not already spent or committed. This change does not create a direct household payment.
Paid parental leave technology funding has conditions
The law provides $2 million to the Department of Labor and Workforce Development for paid parental leave technology. Funding is available only after the Thirty-Fourth Alaska Legislature passes and enacts House Bill 193 or a substantially similar program law. This appropriation does not itself create paid leave benefits. It sets no household eligibility rules, payment amounts, or benefit start date.
Tax system funding depends on separate laws
The law provides $250,000 for electronic smoking product tax technology, only after enactment of Senate Bill 24 or a substantially similar law.
