Stewart Legislative Office Building." Chapter 11, SLA 2009 Effective Date: 8/16/09 HB 81 Message dated May 21 was received stating: Dear President Stevens: On this date I signed with line-item vetoes the following bill passed by the first regular session of the Twenty-Sixth Alaska State Legislature and am transmitting the engrossed and enrolled copies to the Lieutenant Governor's Office for permanent filing: CONFERENCE CS FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 81(brf sup maj pfld H) "An Act making appropriations for the operating and loan program expenses of state government, for certain programs, and to capitalize funds; making supplemental appropriations; making reappropriations; making appropriations under art. IX, sec. 17(c), Constitution of the State of Alaska; and providing for an effective date." Chapter 12, SLA 2009 [Effective Date: See Chapter] The budget goals for this administration have been very clear: to slow the growth of government, live within our means, and save for the future. The operating budget presented for legislative consideration this past session was designed to meet these goals. I appreciate the careful consideration and support from the Legislature of this request. HB 81, as passed by the Legislature this year, contained appropriations for FY2010 totaling $8.2 billion, of which $2.8 billion is general fund. The budget includes special appropriations for tax credits, revenue sharing, and direct deposits to the retirement system costs, and 2009-08-05 Senate Journal Page 1122 includes funding for public education, the university, public health and safety, transportation, resource development, and funding for state government programs, services, and grants. The FY2010 operating and capital budgets I submitted to you were responsible, fiscally conservative budgets, particularly given the current revenue forecast and economic conditions. I appreciate that the Legislature shares the administration's concern about the size and growth of the budget and that you made few changes to our request. Through line-item vetoes, I have reduced the appropriations in HB 81 by $36.1 million, including deleting fiscal notes for two pieces of legislation that did not pass this session and reducing the amount of the transfer from the oil and gas tax credit fund to the general fund in order to leave sufficient balance in the fund to pay the FY2009 production tax credits. The enclosed spreadsheet contains a summary of the vetoed appropriations including the page and line number, fund source, and the reason for the veto. Direct payment of the production tax credits to explorers and new producers is an important component of the ACES production tax. Timely payments are essential for a stable tax structure. The balance of the oil and gas tax credit fund is approximately $520 million and the Department of Revenue estimates there will be $105 million in outstanding reimbursements due in FY2009, which leaves $415 million available for transfer to the general fund at the end of the fiscal year. I have reduced the transfer from $450 million to $415 million to make sure there are sufficient funds to make timely payments. The reductions we have achieved in the FY2009 and FY2010 operating budgets will be continued in our efforts to slow the growth of government in the FY2011 budget. I appreciate your support in crafting responsible budgets for the state of Alaska. Sincerely, /s/ Sarah Palin Governor 2009-08-05 Senate Journal Page 1123 A spreadsheet from the Office of Management and Budget, Office of the Governor accompanied the preceding letter and is on file in the Office of the Senate Secretary. HB 83 Message was received stating the Governor signed the following bill on May 21 and transmitted the engrossed and enrolled copies to the Lieutenant Governor's Office for permanent filing: CONFERENCE CS FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 83 "An Act making appropriations for the operating and capital expenses of the state's integrated comprehensive mental health program; and providing for an effective date." Chapter 13, SLA 2009 Effective Date: 7/1/09 HB 113 Message dated May 21 was received stating: Dear President Stevens: On this date I signed with line-item vetoes the following bill passed by the first regular session of the Twenty-Sixth Alaska State Legislature and am transmitting the engrossed and enrolled copies to the Lieutenant Governor's Office for permanent filing: SENATE CS FOR CS FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 113(FIN)(brf sup maj fld H) "An Act making supplemental appropriations, capital appropriations, and other appropriations; amending appropriations; making appropriations to capitalize funds; and providing for an effective date." Chapter 14, SLA 2009 [Effective Date: See Chapter] 2009-08-05 Senate Journal Page 1124 As passed, the supplemental operating and capital appropriations for FY2009 reduce demand on the general fund by $55.8 million. FY2009 has been a year of unprecedented revenue volatility. I appreciate all of the efforts made by state agencies to reduce spending in the current year through measures we implemented very early in the fiscal year and look forward to working with the Legislature to make further reductions. The Legislature and the administration have been aligned in our efforts to reduce spending and extend the life of our savings accounts during the current economic downturn. With these changes, less than $788 million will need to be drawn from savings to cover expenditures in FY2009. Through line-item vetoes, I have deleted the fiscal note of $86,700 in Section 13(d) relating to deceased permanent fund dividend applicants, which did not pass this session, and also a reappropriation in section 14(e) that was not necessary. The enclosed spreadsheet contains a summary of the vetoed appropriations including the page and line number, fund source, and the reason for the veto. We were successful in minimizing the FY2009 supplemental request through implementing specific savings targets and strategies. I will continue to direct state agencies to manage their budgets for efficiencies and achieve lower levels of spending in the current and upcoming fiscal year. Sincerely, /s/ Sarah Palin Governor A spreadsheet from the Office of Management and Budget, Office of the Governor accompanied the preceding letter and is on file in the Office of the Senate Secretary. 2009-08-05 Senate Journal Page 1125 SB 75 Message dated May 21 was received stating: On this date I signed with line-item vetoes the following bill passed by the first regular session of the Twenty-Sixth Alaska State Legislature and am transmitting the engrossed and enrolled copies to the Lieutenant Governor's Office for permanent filing: HOUSE CS FOR CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 75(FIN) "An Act making and amending appropriations, including capital appropriations, supplemental appropriations, and appropriations to capitalize funds; and providing for an effective date." Chapter 15, SLA 2009 [Effective Date: See Chapter] The budget goals for this administration have been very clear: to slow the growth of government, live within our means, and save for the future. The capital budget presented for legislative consideration this past session was designed to meet these goals. I appreciate the careful consideration and support from the Legislature of this request. SB 75, as passed by the Legislature, contained appropriations for FY2009 and FY2010 totaling $1.87 billion, including $179.4 million in general funds. Through line-item vetoes, I have reduced the appropriations in SB 75 by $11.9 million of which $6.3 million is general fund. Given the decline in oil price and projected revenues for the next fiscal year, this is a modest capital budget. There were very few legislative additions to the budget I presented and there were a number of reductions made throughout the legislative session. The Legislature added projects funded with cruise passenger tax funds and the majority of those projects remain in the budget. I have reduced one project to the level that I had previously requested and vetoed three others and will consider those in a future budget. 2009-08-05 Senate Journal Page 1126 The Legislature also added capital projects for the Alaska Court System including court security, caseload, and facility improvements. I included the court security funding in full and partially vetoed the caseload and facility improvements recognizing these are needed projects and are increases over what was proposed in our budget. The enclosed spreadsheet contains a summary of the vetoed appropriations including the page and line number, fund source, and the reason for the veto. This budget focuses on the state's basic responsibilities, schools, public safety, and needed transportation improvements that are essential to getting Alaska's infrastructure ready for the state's economic future. There is more work to be done and I am committed to working with the Legislature to move Alaska forward. Sincerely, /s/ Sarah Palin Governor A spreadsheet from the Office of Management and Budget, Office of the Governor accompanied the preceding letter and is on file in the Office of the Senate Secretary. SB 116 Message was received stating the Governor signed the following bill on May 21 and transmitted the engrossed and enrolled copies to the Lieutenant Governor's Office for permanent filing: CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 116(FIN) "An Act making a special appropriation for energy assistance for Alaska residents; and providing for an effective date." Chapter 16, SLA 2009 Effective Date: 5/22/09 2009-08-05 Senate Journal Page 1127 HB 199 Message dated May 21 was received stating: Dear President Stevens: On this date I signed with line-item vetoes the following bill passed by the first regular session of the Twenty-Sixth Alaska State Legislature and am transmitting the engrossed and enrolled copies to the Lieutenant Governor's Office for permanent filing: SENATE CS FOR CS FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 199(FIN) "An Act making appropriations, including supplemental appropriations and capital appropriations; amending appropriations; and providing for an effective date." Chapter 17, SLA 2009 [Effective Date: See Chapter] This legislation appropriates federal economic stimulus funds made available to Alaska by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. I have repeatedly expressed concern about accepting economic stimulus funds to temporarily increase programs. This will raise expectations for state general fund dollars to fill the looming funding gap in order to avoid layoffs and a drop in services when the economic stimulus funds are gone. Nevertheless, the Legislature has been clear in its intent to accept economic stimulus funds with passage of two legislative resolutions supporting receipt of the funds, HJR11 and HCR13, and subsequent appropriation bills, including HB 199. While acknowledging the Legislature's resolution to accept these funds, I will work to make sure that government does not grow rapidly, but instead that people are put to work and Alaska's private- sector economy expands. House Bill 199 as passed by the Legislature totals $527.3 million and contains $295 million in capital appropriations and $232.3 million in operating appropriations. Through line-item vetoes, I have reduced the appropriations in HB 199 by $32.2 million. 2009-08-05 Senate Journal Page 1128 As I previously announced, the largest item vetoed is $28.6 million in federal economic stimulus funding related to energy building codes. Several conditions for receipt of grant funds are set out in section 410 of the economic stimulus bill. One of these conditions requires me to: "notify the Secretary of Energy in writing… that… each of the following will occur:… The State, or the applicable units of local government that have authority to adopt building codes, will implement… A building energy code for residential buildings … A building energy code for commercial buildings throughout the State… A plan for achieving compliance… Such plan shall include active training and enforcement programs…" In Alaska, "units of local government that have authority to adopt building codes" includes organized boroughs, unified home rule municipalities, and incorporated cities, including 114 second class cities. The Department of Energy's Official Guidance, issued March 12, 2009, confirmed all the requirements of Section 410 must be met in order to receive a grant. (p.8, p.25-26, p.29, p.51) While I have received a statement from the Department of Energy admitting the Section 410 requirements are "not appropriate," along with an offer to consider acceptance of a less onerous guarantee, I cannot agree to coerce or entice Alaskan communities to adopt universal building codes. Alaskans and our communities have a long history of independence and opposition to many mandates from Washington, D.C. This principle is so strong, it is expressly written into our Constitution (Article X, Section 1). The question of whether to adopt building codes should continue to be determined by local governments free of any pressure. We are making progress in reducing energy costs. The FY2010 capital and operating budgets include $25.5 million for Alaska Energy Authority energy projects, $25 million for renewable energy, $38 million for power cost equalization, and $26.4 million for heating assistance. And considering significant investments in FY2009 including $260 million for weatherization, $100 million for home 2009-08-05 Senate Journal Page 1129 energy rebates, and $100 million for renewable energy projects, and the economic stimulus funds for weatherization and energy efficiency block grants which I have approved, my commitment is clear. I have also reduced duplicate authorization for electronic health records by $1.4 million as this funding is also included in the capital budget, SB 75. Also, $2 million in authorization is deleted for prevention and wellness programs as the potential amount available through competitive grants is unknown at this time. Any funds received will be considered through the Legislative Budget and Audit Committee or supplemental requests during the next session. Finally, I have deleted $200,000 in general funds authorizing two new positions related to reporting and tracking of federal economic stimulus funds. State agencies, working with the Office of Management and Budget and the Department of Administration, will be asked to devote existing resources to meet the requirements for receiving and expending these funds, including the additional reporting requirements, without growing government. The enclosed spreadsheet contains a summary of the vetoed appropriations including the page and line number, fund source, and the reason for the veto. I appreciate the work of the Legislature in evaluating the federal economic stimulus package and also the public for participating in the process.
