SB38 became Chapter 1, SLA2019 after governor approval April 5 and took effect April 6, according to the Senate journal. The enrolled act adds federal disaster-unemployment receipts authority, highway repair and matching funds, uninsured state-facility and noncovered transportation repair funding, disaster relief fund capitalization, and a separate fire-suppression appropriation. The estimated federal receipts are not guaranteed receipts or actual spending. Senate Rules sponsored the bill at the governor’s request; this record attributes approval to Dunleavy. Historical record. Current eligibility, later amendments, incorporated authorities, actual expenditures and measured effects require separate evidence.
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Original 2019 earthquake declarations · separate application deadlines| Program | Applicants | Original physical-loss deadline | Economic-injury deadline |
|---|
| Businesses and residents · AK00040 | Eligible homeowners, renters, businesses and private nonprofits | April 1, 2019 | November 1, 2019 |
|---|
| Certain private nonprofits · AK00041 | Private nonprofits providing essential services of a governmental nature | April 1, 2019 | October 31, 2019 |
|---|
Businesses and residents · AK00040 · areas and conditions
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.
Contiguous areas · economic injury only: Chugach REAA; Copper River REAA; Delta/Greely REAA; Denali Borough; Iditarod Area REAA; Kodiak Island Borough; Lake and Peninsula Borough.
Certain private nonprofits · AK00041 · areas and conditions
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. These are historical program descriptions and limits, not current rates or guaranteed awards.

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.
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.
SB38 became Chapter 1, SLA2019 after governor approval April 5 and took effect April 6, according to the Senate journal. The enrolled act adds federal disaster-unemployment receipts authority, highway repair and matching funds, uninsured state-facility and noncovered transportation repair funding, disaster relief fund capitalization, and a separate fire-suppression appropriation. The estimated federal receipts are not guaranteed receipts or actual spending. Senate Rules sponsored the bill at the governor’s request; this record attributes approval to Dunleavy. Historical record. Current eligibility, later amendments, incorporated authorities, actual expenditures and measured effects require separate evidence.
