How major events are selected

The timeline combines the corresponding national fact’s reviewed event catalog, labeled National context, with individually reviewed state milestones. State events use primary sources and distinguish signing, effective and filing dates. Each milestone keeps its source-check date, geographical limits and evidence limits. This curated selection is not a complete history.

Date ranges affect events and actions. Action type, status and official-name search affect government records only. Events remain separate from action counts. An event after the latest observation extends context without creating a new reading.

FY2027 · Enacted fiscal summary released June 24, 2026

Enacted appropriations

$15.6B

OMB's FY2027 enacted fiscal-summary headline combines $13.1047 billion of operating appropriations and $2.5292 billion of capital appropriations. The official table is presented to the nearest $0.1 million, so $15.6339 billion is a rounded presentation total rather than a dollar-exact ledger amount. The headline excludes $782.7 million of Permanent Fund appropriations shown separately and does not count $70.0 million of non-additive fund transfers again.

Where State tax revenue comes from

FY2025 ACFR actual

Tax revenue reported as general revenue for Alaska's primary government on the government-wide Statement of Activities. The income-tax line is corporate income tax because Alaska does not levy an individual income tax; selective sales and use taxes are specific excises rather than a statewide general sales tax.

Severance taxes
$750.5M · 46.6%
Corporate income taxes

Selective sales and use taxes

Property taxes

FY2027 appropriations by service group

FY2027 enacted operating and capital appropriations

FactVote groups OMB's enacted department totals, statewide operating items, new-legislation summary, and capital total. The detailed reconstruction is $15,633,879,988—$20,012 below the official $15.6339 billion headline because OMB presents new-legislation and headline amounts only to the nearest $0.1 million.

Audited government-wide results

Fiscal year ended June 30, 2025
Revenue
$18.2B
Expenses
$13.0B

Government-wide revenue and expenses for Alaska's primary government on the accrual basis, combining governmental and business-type activities and excluding component units. Revenue is program revenue plus general revenue; internal transfers cancel between the two primary-government columns.

The legislature has allowed this much money to leave the budget and used their Constitutional Budget Reserve (CBR) and the people's PFD to make up the losses. Let's not give anymore money to the rich oil companies. Let's give it back to the people of Alaska in full PFDs.

How statements are selected

This section matches specific budgets, government spending, deficits and public debt terms in retained, attributed source text from published Alaska candidate profiles. A profile heading or biography alone does not qualify. The Florida geography is fixed; saved state preferences cannot change these results. A mention can concern a community or group rather than Florida’s statewide measure.

Matching is automatic and does not establish a candidate’s stance, the accuracy of a claim, or an effect on the measured result. Results are grouped by recorded race, then by candidate name. Within each candidate, the matching issue mentions appear first. Only candidates with matching retained statements are shown; this is not a complete race roster. Repeated identical text for the same candidate is shown once. Coverage follows the existing state profiles and is not a complete record of all candidates or everything they have said. Review dates are not statement dates.

Dunleavy transmits the SB38 disaster funding proposal

Jan 25, 2019 · Proposal enacted as amended · approval April 5, 2019

Mike Dunleavy · Filed

Reviewed governor proposal and introduced bill

The January 28 Senate journal reproduces Governor Dunleavy’s transmittal letter dated January 25. SB38 was introduced January 28 by the Senate Rules Committee at his request. The original proposal sought fire-suppression, highway-repair and disaster-relief funding. Disaster unemployment assistance and an additional $1 million for noncovered surface transportation appear in the later enrolled version, not this introduced proposal. Senate Rules is the recorded committee sponsor; no individual legislator is assigned sponsorship here. Historical record. Current eligibility, later amendments, incorporated authorities, actual expenditures and measured effects require separate evidence.

Review selected proposal provisions (5 proposal sections)

These describe the original introduced proposal selected for this topic. The later enacted version and actual funding are separate records.

  • Reviewed provision 1: Proposed $7.9 million from the general fund for FY2019 DNR fire suppression; this is separate from earthquake repair.
  • Reviewed provision 2: Proposed highway disaster-repair authority for federal receipts actually received in FY2019–20, estimated at $65 million; $6.5 million general-fund match; $1 million general fund for uninsured earthquake damage to state facilities.
  • Reviewed provision 3: Proposed revising the FY2019 federal disaster-relief receipts estimate from $9 million to $46,002,333 and adding $21,901,715 from the general fund to the disaster relief fund. The federal figure is an estimate of receipts, not a fixed state grant. The original HB286 section23(b) independently confirms the old federal-receipts estimate; section23(c) separately appropriates $2million from the comprehensive health insurance fund, and section31(a) makes section23 capitalizations nonlapsing. That separate prior transfer is not a new SB38 general-fund appropriation or evidence of health benefits.
  • Reviewed provision 4: Proposed fund capitalizations do not lapse. The introduced version does not yet contain the enrolled law’s separate capital-project lapse clause.
  • Reviewed provision 5: Proposed immediate effectiveness under AS 01.10.070(c); introduction and transmittal do not themselves make a proposal effective.
Review legislative changes and votes

Follow the original proposal, committee changes and historical votes. These records establish procedure and appropriations, not current eligibility, payments or policy effects.

What changed in committee

  • The original governor proposal had five sections. The Senate Finance substitute adds a new section 1 authorizing federal receipts actually received for disaster unemployment benefits in FY2019–20, estimated at $1 million.
  • The substitute adds $1 million in general funds for earthquake surface-transportation costs not reimbursed by federal receipts and clarifies the highway-repair appropriation purpose.
  • The substitute adds a separate capital-project lapse clause for transportation appropriations. Disaster relief fund capitalizations remain nonlapsing; the fire-suppression appropriation remains for FY2019.
  • The March 13 work draft was adopted March 14 and reported March 19. The offered substitute is dated March 20. Its funding amounts and operative wording match the enrolled law after disregarding punctuation, spacing and capitalization; the original documents retain minor punctuation and hyphenation differences.

How the bill advanced

  1. Jan 25, 2019 · Governor transmittal letter dated January 25; introduced January 28

    The Senate journal reproduces Dunleavy’s letter. Senate Rules Committee, by request of the governor, is the recorded sponsor; the Senate Finance Committee prepared the substitute.

  2. Jan 29, 2019 · Senate Finance hears and holds SB38

    The meeting also discusses SB39. Proposed education reductions, Medicaid and other regular supplemental items from SB39 are not provisions of SB38.

  3. Mar 14, 2019 · Senate Finance adopts work draft U

    Draft prepared March 13. Stedman’s discussion objection was removed; adoption proceeded without objection. Bill held for further consideration.

  4. Mar 19, 2019 · Senate Finance reports the substitute

    Four do-pass and four no-recommendation entries. Olson withdrew an objection after asking about procurement information. Report filed March 20.

  5. Mar 25, 2019 · Senate adopts substitute and passes SB38

    18 yea, 0 nay, 2 excused, 0 absent. Begich withdrew his objection to substitute adoption. The passage vote also serves as the effective-date vote; bill transmitted to the House.

  6. Mar 28, 2019 · House Finance reports the substitute

    Six do-pass and five no-recommendation entries. Report filed March 29. No recommendation does not mean a vote against the bill.

  7. Mar 29, 2019 · House passes SB38

    32 yea, 0 nay, 8 excused, 0 absent. The same passage vote also serves as the effective-date vote. Speaker and Chief Clerk sign the bill for return to the Senate.

  8. Apr 5, 2019 · Governor approval recorded

    The April 8 Senate journal records Dunleavy’s April 5 signature as Chapter 1, SLA2019, and an April 6 effective date. Legislative signatures and passage dates are separate from the governor signature.

Historical floor votes

Each chamber used its passage vote for the effective-date clause. These are 2 roll calls, with 60 member entries. Excused and absent members did not cast a vote.

Official committee report ↗

Member names and districts are those printed in the 2019–20 legislature roster. Excused members did not cast a vote. Committee recommendations are separate from floor votes; no recommendation is not a nay. Historical votes do not establish current candidate positions or individual sponsorship. Committee attachments, historical regulations and actual spending remain under review.

Review funding and recovery documents

Committee documents explain the funding estimates and early recovery reports behind SB38. The reported payments and contract awards below precede its April 5 approval and do not establish spending caused by this law.

Funding estimates and reported balances

  • Original disaster-fund request basis: $21,901,714.90. Preliminary placeholder, before later refinement; the enacted amount is rounded to whole dollars.
  • State-only IA estimate removed from preliminary share: $9,689,505.96. Subtracting this estimate yields the revised $12,212,208.94 state share. The request retained a reserve for future disasters.
  • Unallocated fund balance as of March 5: $362,932.33. Agency-reported figure includes a pending $1 million storm allocation increase needing legislative approval.
  • Existing earthquake allocation: $6.5 million. Allocation within the disaster fund, separate from SB38’s $6.5 million highway match.
  • Combined encumbrances and expenditures: $4.2 million. Reported against that existing earthquake allocation; the combined figure is not all paid expenditure.
  • Unobligated earthquake allocation balance: $2.3 million. Reported remaining amount. March 30 and April 1 depletion dates were forecasts, not confirmed outcomes.
Official supporting document ↗

The March 14 slides show $139.304 million in proposed supplemental funding and $148.304 million in the gross line table. The $9 million difference corresponds to existing federal disaster-fund authority. It must not be counted again as new funding. The separate $1 million transportation and $1 million federal unemployment additions appear on the amendments slide.

March 14 budget presentation ↗

Early payments reported by the agency

  • State individual-assistance grants: $314,310.02. Reported paid to 24 recipients in the response to March 5 questions.
  • State temporary housing: $272,686.40. Reported paid; both state assistance streams were suspended pending federal programs.
Official supporting document ↗

These are contemporaneous agency reports, not independently audited invoices or final disaster totals. Later payments, eligibility decisions and completed repairs need separate evidence.

Updated March 14 assistance estimates

The table prints total assistance of $58,904,047.71, including a $12,212,208.94 state share and $46,691,838.77 federal share. These are estimates, not grants received or paid.

The temporary-housing row prints $353,706, while the earlier enclosure prints $365,706. The updated individual-assistance rows sum to $10,779,649.71, which is $12,000 below their printed $10,791,649.71 subtotal. The discrepancy remains unresolved; no source value has been silently changed.

Updated estimate table ↗

March 7 recovery status

The status update reports 14,401 state individual-assistance applications, 5,355 FEMA registrations and SBA approvals for 191 home loans and 13 business loans. Loan approvals are separate from payments.

The Legislative Finance response reports 14,673 state applications; the scope or vintage difference is unresolved. The state deadline extension to February 28 is agency-reported, with its original signed record still under review. A planned request to extend federal registration to May 31 was prospective, not an approved extension. The later signed March 18 request and March 22 FEMA approval are now reviewed in the assistance-deadline records below.

March 7 status update ↗
Assistance deadlines and reconsideration

The signed March 18 request and March 22 FEMA approval resolve the earlier prospective federal extension. State applications, FEMA registration, unemployment aid and reconsideration have separate dates and conditions.

  1. January 28, 2019 report · State application window extended to February 28

    DHS&EM reports the extension already in place. It does not identify the original signed extension date. The February 28 flyer and later reconsideration notices confirm the deadline.

  2. February 14, 2019 · State and federal applications remain separate

    The joint notice explains separate FEMA registration even for existing state applicants. Federal ineligibility does not itself guarantee state assistance.

  3. March 9 notice · March 14 application deadline · Disaster unemployment assistance available before SB38 approval

    The notice describes FEMA-funded, state-administered aid for eligible earthquake-affected workers, including self-employed workers. Up to 35 weeks beginning December 2 is a possible benefit period, not proof of payment. SB38’s later federal-receipts appropriation did not establish this program’s first availability.

  4. March 15, 2019 · Existing state applicants can request reconsideration

    The agency describes reconsideration after FEMA determination/appeal and SBA assistance or denial, with evidence of remaining essential needs. It does not reopen the February 28 new-application window.

  5. March 18, 2019 · Dunleavy signs the federal registration-extension request

    The signed two-page letter asks FEMA to move the April 1 deadline to May 31 because of separate-program confusion and damage emerging during spring thaw. His hope for an SBA extension is separate from an SBA approval.

  6. March 22, 2019 · FEMA approves the extension to May 31

    Regional administrator Michael F. O’Hare authorizes a 60-day extension for all areas designated for individual assistance. Christopher B. Smith is the memorandum’s recipient. This changes the registration deadline; it is not a payment award.

  7. April 18, 2019 · Recovery centers and appeal help remain available

    The visible snapshot confirms the May 31 deadline and describes recovery centers in Anchorage, Eagle River and Wasilla, assistance with appeals and SBA loans, and mitigation visits. These are historical services, not proof of completed repairs.

  8. April 25, 2019 printed notice · Spring-thaw damage can amend existing state claims

    The state urges reinspection and reassessment of essential home needs and reconsideration after the federal and insurance processes. New state claims had closed February 28. The archive lists April 24; the notice itself prints April 25.

  9. May 1 release · April 30 figures · Reported approvals remain distinct from payments

    The release reports over $11.6 million in FEMA grants and $59.9 million in SBA loans approved, totaling over $71.5 million. These are approvals, not money paid or all grants. The archive lists May 8. FEMA registration remains due by midnight May 31.

Historical 2019 records. The original state extension and SBA authorization, full applicable rules and actual payments remain under review. March 18’s reported 14,594 state applications and 5,254 FEMA registrations differ from earlier reports and are not a reconciled series. April 18’s extracted approval figures are absent from the visible page, so they are excluded here.

Reported DOT earthquake contracts · 15 contracts · $7,274,000 ceiling

The 15 listed contracts total $7,274,000 in not-to-exceed ceilings, not actual payments. EMR25192-0013 prints October 11, 2018, before the earthquake; its date remains unresolved. Original contracts, written procurement determinations, invoices and final spending are still under review. This DOT list is separate from the future DMVA list promised in the March 19 response.

SBA loan programs and deadlines

SBA earthquake loans are separate from FEMA grants and Alaska appropriations. The two January 31 declarations cover different applicant groups and have different economic-injury deadlines. Issuance, publication, application deadlines, approvals and payments are separate records.

Declaration 15859/15860 was issued January 31 and published February 12. The three primary areas are designated for physical-damage and economic-injury loans; the seven contiguous areas are economic-injury only. SBA assesses individual eligibility, financial condition and loan terms. The June 5 agency report separately says the individual physical-damage deadline was May 31; the original extension instrument has not been located.

Primary areas: Kenai Peninsula Borough; Matanuska-Susitna Borough; Municipality of Anchorage.

Separate public-assistance-only declaration 15861/15862, issued January 31 and published February 12. FEMA briefings assess essential governmental service / critical-facility eligibility; a referral to SBA is not a guaranteed loan or grant. The February 5 announcement and March 1 reminder retain April 1 / October 31. A later deadline extension for this specific nonprofit program has not been verified.

Primary areas: Kenai Peninsula Borough; Matanuska-Susitna Borough; Municipality of Anchorage.

Historical earthquake loan terms

Historical 2019 earthquake terms: business/private-nonprofit physical loans up to $2 million; homeowner primary-residence loans up to $200,000; homeowner/renter personal-property loans up to $40,000. Terms could extend up to 30 years, depending on the applicant. Economic-injury working-capital aid could be available without property damage; the nonprofit notice names payroll, fixed debts and bills.

    The release reports $3,902,000 approved for businesses plus $47,806,500 for residents. Their sum is $51,708,500. Approved loans are distinct from grants and actual disbursements.

  2. May 1, 2019 · SBA reports $60,132,500 in loan approvals

    The release reports $4,461,600 for businesses plus $55,670,900 for residents, totaling $60,132,500. The earlier joint report uses an April 30 snapshot of $59.9 million in SBA approvals. These are separate cumulative snapshots; do not add them or count them as money paid.

  3. June 5, 2019 · Agency report confirms the individual physical-loss deadline was May 31

    The joint fact sheet’s SBA section explicitly reports May 31 for individuals with physical damage and November 1 for business economic injury. It describes help with existing applications, appeals and approved-loan closing after new FEMA registration ended. This later agency report does not supply the original SBA extension date or signatory and does not establish that the separate nonprofit program was extended. The body prints June 5 and FS008; filename FS011 and the prior archive listing May 28 differ.

  4. June 5, 2019 · Recovery resources include counseling and housing advice

    The historical fact sheet identifies crisis counseling, aging/disability resource centers, environmental advice for homeowners and low-income landlord/tenant legal clinics in the earthquake recovery areas. Pending state reconsideration, FEMA appeals and SBA loan assistance have separate processes. A resource listing does not establish service use, completed repairs or payments.

These are historical federal SBA records, not new governor measures or operative sections added to SB38. Original extension authority, full historical eligibility rules, later amendments and actual loan disbursements remain under review. These records do not establish changes caused by assistance in GDP, income, employment, health or housing prices.

The governor proposal led to Chapter 1, SLA2019 as amended: final passage March 29, governor signature April 5 and effectiveness April 6. The January 28 Senate journal reproduces Governor Dunleavy’s transmittal letter dated January 25. SB38 was introduced January 28 by the Senate Rules Committee at his request. The original proposal sought fire-suppression, highway-repair and disaster-relief funding. Disaster unemployment assistance and an additional $1 million for noncovered surface transportation appear in the later enrolled version, not this introduced proposal. Senate Rules is the recorded committee sponsor; no individual legislator is assigned sponsorship here. Historical record. Current eligibility, later amendments, incorporated authorities, actual expenditures and measured effects require separate evidence.

Why this record is included

The governor transmittal and introduced bill propose general-fund spending, federal-receipts authority and disaster relief fund capitalization.

An Act relating to reports of harassment, intimidation, or bullying in schools; relating to parental notification of incidents of harassment, intimidation, or bullying involving students and threats of suicide by students; and establishing the firearm safe storage grant fund.

Mar 11, 2026 · Pending · Senate Finance

Sen. Loki Tobin · Sponsored / Sen. Elvi Gray-Jackson · Co-sponsored

FactVote reviewed summary

CSSB 206(HSS) proposes a firearm safe-storage grant fund that the Department of Administration could use to buy devices for free distribution to school districts and district-administered hunter or firearm safety programs. The fund would receive appropriations, grants and donations. The bill also addresses suicide resources in parental notifications. It remains in Senate Finance and does not establish actual funding, distributions or a mortality change.

Official bill page lists Senate Finance with status date 2026-03-11. No enactment in the checked 34th-Legislature record as of September 10, 2026. Printed effective dates do not establish enactment.

Why this record is included

Firearm deaths include suicide, homicide and other intents. Safe-storage devices and suicide resources concern access to firearms and a subset of these deaths; creating a fund would not itself establish funding, device distribution or fewer deaths. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.

Retained Alaska evidence context: Firearm deaths. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.

Sec. 14.33.240. Parental notification. A school district may adopt a plan to notify the parents or guardians of a student of an incident of harassment, intimidation, or bullying involving the student or a threat of suicide by the student. A school district that notifies a parent or guardian about a threat of suicide under this section shall provide to the parent or guardian suicide prevention and crisis intervention resources, including information about how to (1) obtain a suicide risk screening or assessment from a health care professional; (2) limit a student's access to firearms and lethal medications; (3) securely store firearms, ammunition, and lethal medications, including in a safe storage device; and (4) request a free safe storage device from the firearm safe storage grant fund established under AS 44.21.070. […] Sec. 44.21.070. Firearm safe storage grant fund. (a) The firearm safe storage grant fund is established in the general fund. The department shall manage the fund and may use money in the fund without further appropriation to purchase firearm safe storage devices and distribute the devices at no cost to school districts or to hunter or firearm safety programs that are administered by a school district. Money in the fund does not lapse. The fund consists of money appropriated to the fund, including grant money the department receives for the purpose of providing to school districts firearm safe storage devices and funds to purchase firearm safe storage devices, and donations to the fund. (b) Nothing in this section creates a dedicated fund. (c) The department may adopt regulations under AS 44.62 (Administrative Procedure Act) to implement this section. (d) In this section, (1) "department" means the Department of Administration; (2) "firearm safe storage device" means a lock box, safe, cable lock, or other device that is used to prevent unauthorized access to a firearm or to store a firearm.

What sponsorship and proposal counts tell us

Only current Alaska officeholders retained in the reviewed collection qualify. Bills require a recorded primary sponsorship; cosponsors and signing officials are excluded from sponsorship counts. An official introducer recorded as acting by request is labeled “Introduced by request”; that procedural role does not establish personal policy endorsement. Governor and agency records qualify when recorded as proposed. A separately verified governor transmittal can also establish an original proposal whose latest status reflects its later outcome. Signing an enacted law alone does not establish a proposal. A record appearing under several facts is counted once per officeholder. A bill with multiple primary sponsors appears under each recorded sponsor.

Enacted bills, adopted resolutions and unsuccessful measures remain visible as proposal history. Passing one chamber is not enactment. These counts do not measure effectiveness or prove that an action changed a Alaska statistic. Collection reviewed Oct 7, 2026.
