Hunting/Trapping, Fishing for Disabled Veterans

Senate Bill 10 provides service-disabled veterans, active National Guard, and reservists free trapping licenses. This provides a small token of thanks to those veterans injured in service to America, and our current National Guard and reserves.

Extending the Renewable Energy Grant Fund

House Bill 62 extends the Renewable Energy Grant fund for ten years (June 30, 2033). This fund has distributed over $300 million dollars in grants for qualifying and competitively selected renewable energy projects across the state. These grants have been supplemented by both federal and local funding to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. These combined funds help to stabilize and reduce energy costs for consumers by supporting renewable energy projects in both rural and urban communities across Alaska.

Local Lumber Grading for Alaska Homes

Senate Bill 87 creates a local lumber grading program to allow dimensional lumber produced in Alaska to be graded by locally trained Alaskans and then used in some residential construction applications. This local lumber grading program will lower the barrier for entry to create new sawmills. Local sawmills can serve as a catalyst to increase investment in forest management and help build the timber sector statewide. This will result in permanent, stable, family-wage jobs in rural communities and villages, and strengthen and diversify local economies.

Home and Community-Based Health Services

Senate Bill 106 allows legally responsible individuals to provide personal care services to recipients of medical assistance (Medicaid) through the 1915(k) state plan option, which will help alleviate Alaska’s direct care workforce shortage. This policy change would enable more Alaskans to maintain their independence and dignity in their lifelong homes, especially in rural areas where home care can be a family’s only option. This bill was amended into Senate Bill 57.

Filipino American History Month

House Bill 23 recognizes October as Filipino-American History Month and celebrates the contributions of Filipino-Americans in Alaska. Since 1788, Filipinos have had a presence on lands now known as Alaska. From seasonal migrant cannery workers to healthcare workers and political leaders, Filipino-Americans are part of the fabric of Alaska’s diverse history. As the largest Asian-American/Pacific Islander group and immigrant community in the state, Filipino-Americans have contributed to Alaska’s communities, economy, government, and culture.

NPRA Alaska Willow Project

House Joint Resolution 6 urged President Biden and the United States Department of the Interior to approve the Willow Project located in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska. The United States Geological Survey estimated the project contains 8.7 billion barrels of oil and 25 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. This has the potential to bring up to $4.7 billion in annual government revenue, including local, state, and federal taxes and royalties. On March 13, 2023, the Biden Administration approved the Willow project.

CDL License Requirements

Senate Bill 123 repeals the requirement that Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) applicants must hold a regular Alaska driver’s license for at least one year before they can begin the process of obtaining a CDL. The Alaska Trucking Association estimates that Alaska is about 500 truck drivers short, presenting a risk to food security and major new development projects in industries like construction, mining, oil and gas, etc. Repealing the one-year regular driver’s license requirement aligns Alaska’s CDL requirements with modern federal standards and removes a barrier to a workforce that, although relatively small, is ready and willing.

Repealing Funds, Accounts, and Programs

Senate Bill 25 improves performance by reducing administrative costs associated with maintenance and tracking accounts that are no longer needed but still open. Specific accounts include the Alaska Historical Commission Receipts Account, Fuel Emergency Fund, Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Unincorporated Rural Community Grant Fund, Rural Electrification Revolving Loan Fund, and Curriculum Improvement and Best Practices Fund.

Interference with Emergency Services

Senate Bill 38 establishes a class B misdemeanor offense for individuals who interfere with and misuse emergency telecommunication services. Misuse of 911 dispatch centers has caused disruption and delays to real emergency responses.

Limitation on Firearm Restrictions

House Bill 61 clarifies the extent of authority granted during an emergency declaration to prevent unnecessary infringements on the right to keep and bear arms. This prevents either the state or a municipal agency from forbidding the possession, use, or transfer of a firearm, firearm accessory, ammunition, or other weapon for personal use. It also establishes that the closure and limitation of commerce under the police powers of the governor must be equally applied to all forms of commerce and prevents undue restrictions of businesses associated with firearms and public shooting range facilities.

Local Lumber Grading for Alaska Homes

Senate Bill 87 creates a local lumber grading program to allow dimensional lumber produced in Alaska to be graded by locally trained Alaskans and then used in some residential construction applications. This local lumber grading program will lower the barrier for entry to create new sawmills. Local sawmills can serve as a catalyst to increase investment in forest management and help build the timber sector statewide. This will result in permanent, stable, family-wage jobs in rural communities and villages, and strengthen and diversify local economies.

Filipino American History Month

House Bill 23 recognizes October as Filipino-American History Month and celebrates the contributions of Filipino-Americans in Alaska. Since 1788, Filipinos have had a presence on lands now known as Alaska. From seasonal migrant cannery workers to healthcare workers and political leaders, Filipino-Americans are part of the fabric of Alaska’s diverse history. As the largest Asian-American/Pacific Islander group and immigrant community in the state, Filipino-Americans have contributed to Alaska’s communities, economy, government, and culture.

Limitation on Firearm Restrictions

House Bill 61 clarifies the extent of authority granted during an emergency declaration to prevent unnecessary infringements on the right to keep and bear arms. This prevents either the state or a municipal agency from forbidding the possession, use, or transfer of a firearm, firearm accessory, ammunition, or other weapon for personal use. It also establishes that the closure and limitation of commerce under the police powers of the governor must be equally applied to all forms of commerce and prevents undue restrictions of businesses associated with firearms and public shooting range facilities.

NPRA Alaska Willow Project

House Joint Resolution 6 urged President Biden and the United States Department of the Interior to approve the Willow Project located in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska. The United States Geological Survey estimated the project contains 8.7 billion barrels of oil and 25 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. This has the potential to bring up to $4.7 billion in annual government revenue, including local, state, and federal taxes and royalties. On March 13, 2023, the Biden Administration approved the Willow project.

Hunting/Trapping, Fishing for Disabled Veterans

Senate Bill 10 provides service-disabled veterans, active National Guard, and reservists free trapping licenses. This provides a small token of thanks to those veterans injured in service to America, and our current National Guard and reserves.

Extending the Renewable Energy Grant Fund

House Bill 62 extends the Renewable Energy Grant fund for ten years (June 30, 2033). This fund has distributed over $300 million dollars in grants for qualifying and competitively selected renewable energy projects across the state. These grants have been supplemented by both federal and local funding to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. These combined funds help to stabilize and reduce energy costs for consumers by supporting renewable energy projects in both rural and urban communities across Alaska.

Home and Community-Based Health Services

Senate Bill 106 allows legally responsible individuals to provide personal care services to recipients of medical assistance (Medicaid) through the 1915(k) state plan option, which will help alleviate Alaska’s direct care workforce shortage. This policy change would enable more Alaskans to maintain their independence and dignity in their lifelong homes, especially in rural areas where home care can be a family’s only option. This bill was amended into Senate Bill 57.
