IX, sec. 17(c), Constitution of the State of Alaska, from the constitutional budget reserve fund; and providing for an effective date." Chapter No. 1, SSSLA 2019 [Effective Date: See Chapter] Senate Bill 2002 (SB 2002) as passed by the legislature, contained operating and capital appropriations totaling nearly $183 million, including $176.6 million in funding directly from the Constitutional Budget Reserve Fund (CBR). Through line-item vetoes to SB 2002, I have reduced the proposed draw on the CBR by $30.5 million. These vetoes represent a balance between protecting our reserves while maintaining a minimum level of capital budget funding. This budget supports jobs and families; ensures federal funds are not forfeited; and advances critical road, infrastructure, and life, health, and safety projects in communities across Alaska. Attached is a report detailing my line-item vetoes. Sincerely, /s/ Michael J. Dunleavy Governor
