Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
15 provisions identified: 13 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Clean water and sewer projects funded
The law provides $511.854 million for drinking water, wastewater, and Village Safe Water projects. It pays for construction, upgrades, and grant subsidies to improve community water and environmental systems.
University of Alaska capital funding
The law provides $100.750 million to the University of Alaska for capital and other projects. Money comes from federal receipts, the general fund, and designated program receipts.
Energy projects and local impact grants
The state provides $101.366 million for energy and commerce projects, including Alaska Energy Authority work. If federal NPR‑A money arrives by June 30, 2025, about $29.5 million funds local impact grants. It reuses about $234,500 for electrical emergency work. It also lets federal renewable‑energy tax credits flow to the Energy Authority to support or match projects.
More funding for roads and airports
The state invests $1.962 billion in highways, airports, ferries, and equipment. It also moves about $41.1 million, with up to $11.165 million more, to match federal highway funds and cover ineligible costs. This keeps projects moving and brings in federal money.
Statewide capital budget for projects
The law provides $2.888 billion one time for capital projects across many agencies. It funds transportation, water and sewer, schools, energy, health, and other needs. This money supports construction, public services, and jobs statewide.
Fixing state buildings and hosting events
The law provides $20 million for statewide deferred maintenance and repairs. Up to $100,000 moves to the Governor’s office for USS Ted Stevens commissioning, with remaining balances used for capital needs. The unspent Alaska Capital Income Fund on June 30, 2025 also goes to critical repairs. Up to $500,000 helps the Legislature host the 2027 CSG West meeting, and leftover funds improve legislative buildings.
Modernizing tax, dividend, and justice systems
The state invests $57.875 million to replace Revenue’s systems, including the Permanent Fund Dividend application. It gives $7 million to replace the Department of Law’s case system and $4 million for a statewide time‑and‑attendance system. It funds an $85,000 licensing system for Certificates of Fitness. An added $500,000 updates tax software if SB 92 or a similar corporate‑tax bill becomes law.
Upgrades for safety, military, and courts
The law funds $22.112 million for armory upgrades and security programs. It adds $7.5 million for public safety facilities and gear. Up to $450,000 improves courthouse communications in Fairbanks. About $4 million remodels the McLaughlin Youth Center, $2.5 million supports Judiciary capital needs, and $100,000 advances the Fairbanks Veterans Cemetery.
EMS gear and Medicaid system upgrade
The law provides $14.570 million for emergency medical services and Medicaid systems. It helps local EMS match Code Blue grants. It funds a provider services module for Alaska Medicaid.
School repairs and maintenance backstop
The state provides $40.840 million for school building repairs, including named projects. If the Major Maintenance Grant Fund has under $38.110 million on July 1, 2025, the state adds the shortfall to reach that level. This keeps school maintenance projects funded.
Capital add‑ons and new budget rules
The law adds $78.046 million in supplemental capital funds for named agencies. Extra federal or program receipts received in the year ending June 30, 2026 are automatically appropriated if agencies follow AS 37.07.080(h); Alaska Gasline Development Corporation is excluded. Insurance recoveries go to the catastrophe reserve or the affected agency. It sets which items lapse and which do not, makes parts of the act retroactive to March 31, June 30, or July 1, 2025, and repeals a small part of a 2024 law.
More help for fish, wildlife, land
The law provides $15.725 million for salmon and wildlife projects and research. It gives $27.080 million for mine‑land cleanup, forestry, and conservation. If Fish and Game sells certain vessels, aircraft, or equipment during fiscal year 2026, up to $350,000 of proceeds funds renewal and maintenance.
Help to start Xunaa Borough, museum work
The state sets aside $600,000 for Xunaa Borough organization grants for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2026–2028. The money is paid only if the borough incorporates by December 31, 2025. If the Stratton Library in Sitka is sold to the Alaska Court System, the sale money goes to repair the Sheldon Jackson Museum and related facilities.
Capital for fishing and farm lending
The state sets aside $3.693 million to buy nonvoting shares in the Alaska Commercial Fishing and Agriculture Bank. The purchase happens only if SB 156 (or a similar law) passes to expand the bank’s loan authority.
Tax system funds tied to corporate tax bill
The law sets aside $500,000 from the general fund for the Department of Revenue. The money is for updates to the state tax revenue management system. The department can use it only if SB 92, or a substantially similar corporate tax bill, is enacted during the Thirty-Fourth Alaska State Legislature, First Regular Session. If that bill does not become law, this funding does not take effect.
