This bill would repeal various funds in the general fund, specifically, the civil legal services fund, the power cost equalization endowment fund, the power cost equalization and rural electric capitalization fund, the curriculum improvement and best practices fund, and the Alaska higher education investment fund. The community assistance fund statute would be repealed and reenacted to remove the fund designation, but still allow legislative appropriations for community assistance. Next, the bill would provide for funds received by gift, bequest, or donation to be returned to the original donors, while the remainder of the fund balances would be deposited into the general fund on the bill’s effective date of July 1, 2019. The proliferation of designated funds over the years causes complexities in budgeting, and failure to apply a fresh look at state spending. Removing these funds will contribute to a more transparent annual budget analysis. I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure. Sincerely, /s/ Michael J.
