General Issues:

•  The 1^st Session of the 33^rd Alaska State Legislature adjourned on the 121^st day but was unable to agree on the FY2024 budget prior to the adjournment deadline. Governor Dunleavy issued a call for a Special Session beginning 10 am the next day.

•  Through hurried meetings throughout the day, leadership in both bodies were able to craft necessary agreements along with a rather short list of budget amendments and take final floor action to enact the changes, pass the budget and adjourn. 

• The budget will be transmitted to the governor for his review and any veto action. The state fiscal year begins July 1, 2024. 

• The operating, supplemental and capital budget is all within a single omnibus bill. See link to HB39: https://www.akleg.gov/PDF/33/Bills/HB0039Z.PDF

• The budget is intended to balance within the Department of Revenue oil price forecast of $73/barrel for FY24 and does not require withdrawal from the Constitutional Budget Reserve Fund (CBRF). The budget includes an appropriation for a $1,304.00 dividend ($881m in total). The budget includes a one-time appropriation of $174.8m for school districts. The budget was amended by the Senate Finance Committee to include $30m for school major maintenance and $30m for university facilities deferred maintenance.
