To that end, I am presenting a supplemental budget for the consideration of the Legislature that returns money to the general fund. This legislation proposes to allocate resources for the renovation of the Hiland Mountain Women’s Mental Health Unit, in order to provide appropriate services to prisoners and increase efficiency in the management of our prison population. It funds pay increases for our Alaska State Troopers, pays off the Whittier Tunnel project ahead of schedule, and pays Medicaid obligations for FY 2018 that were not fully funded. These supplemental items are offset by reversals from the FY 2019 budget, resulting in the return of $5,817,200 to the General Fund. I urge your prompt consideration of this request. Sincerely, /s/ Michael J. Dunleavy Governor SB 40 SENATE BILL NO. 40 BY SENATOR GRAY-JACKSON, entitled: "An Act establishing the month of February as Black History Month." was read the first time and referred to the State Affairs Committee. Unfinished Business Senator Hoffman moved and asked unanimous consent to be excused from a call of the Senate on February 1 and February 4. Without objection, Senator Hoffman was excused.
