Governor's transmittal letter dated January 20: Dear President Micciche: Under the authority of Article III, Section 23, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting an Executive Order to separate the Department of Health and Social Services into two departments – the Department of Health and the Department of Family and Community Services. This reorganization is necessary for efficient administration of services for public assistance programs, protection of vulnerable adults and children, behavioral health, and for the administration of grants related to these services. The Department of Health will have responsibility for administering medical and public assistance programs, disability services, and public health programs. The Department of Family and Community Services will have responsibility for overseeing child welfare services, the Alaska Pioneers’ Home and Veterans’ Home, delinquency services, foster care, and the state psychiatric hospital. This reorganization will strengthen outcomes and improve service delivery by enabling the newly mission-focused departments to operate more efficiently. This new structure will improve public health and enhance the state’s ability to protect vulnerable adults, children, and senior citizens. 2021-01-25 Senate Journal Page 0055 These changes will be effective July 1, 2021. Separately, my administration will be submitting budget amendments to account for the reorganization.

Sincerely, /s/ Mike Dunleavy Governor SB 53 SENATE BILL NO. 53 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: "An Act relating to use of income of the Alaska permanent fund; relating to the amount of the permanent fund dividend; relating to the duties of the commissioner of revenue; relating to an advisory vote on the permanent fund; providing for an effective date by repealing the effective date of sec. 8, ch. 16, SLA 2018; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the State Affairs, Judiciary and Finance Committees. The following fiscal information was published today: Fiscal Note No. 1, Office of the Governor Fiscal Note No. 2, zero, Department of Revenue Fiscal Note No. 3, Department of Revenue Governor's transmittal letter dated January 19: Dear President Micciche: Under the authority of Article III, Section 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a bill relating to the Alaska permanent fund and the permanent fund dividend. 2021-01-25 Senate Journal Page 0068 The bill would establish a new statutory framework for annual spending from the Alaska permanent fund. It provides that five percent of the average market value (POMV) of the permanent fund would be eligible for annual appropriation by the legislature subject to the limitation that an appropriation may not exceed the balance in the earnings reserve account. It would further provide that of the amount available for appropriation – fifty percent of the amount would be available for permanent fund dividends and the remaining fifty percent would be available for appropriation to the general fund. The bill would further provide that a special statewide election be held to take an advisory vote of qualified voters to advise the legislature on whether the statutory changes accomplished by this bill should continue to be the state’s law regarding spending from the permanent fund. The inclusion of an advisory vote ensures that Alaska residents have a voice in the decisions we make regarding the permanent fund. I propose this measure in order to resolve the current conflict between the statutes governing the annual POMV draw and the calculation of the permanent fund dividend. We must establish a reasonable rule that protects this increasingly important source of state revenue, limits the draw on the fund’s earnings and provides for an annual dividend for Alaska residents. I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure. Sincerely, /s/ Mike Dunleavy Governor SB 54 SENATE BILL NO. 54 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR entitled: "An Act authorizing and relating to the issuance of bonds by the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation for safe and clean water and hygienic sewage disposal facility capital projects and transportation projects; providing for the repayment of the bonds 2021-01-25 Senate Journal Page 0069 and bond costs; relating to the dividend paid to the state by the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Labor and Commerce and Finance Committees. The following fiscal information was published today: Fiscal Note No. 1, Department of Revenue Governor's transmittal letter dated January 19: Dear President Micciche: Under the authority of Article III, Section 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a bill to authorize the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC) to issue bonds to finance capital improvement for water and sewer projects and to provide state matching funds for eligible federal highway and aviation transportation projects. The repayment of the costs of the bonds would be offset by a reduction in the dividend AHFC pays to the state. This bill will enable important transportation infrastructure improvements throughout Alaska and improve public health by investing in village safe water and sewage disposal facility projects. I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure. Sincerely, /s/ Mike Dunleavy Governor SB 55 SENATE BILL NO. 55 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR entitled: "An Act relating to employer contributions to the Public Employees' Retirement System of Alaska; and providing for an effective date." 2021-01-25 Senate Journal Page 0070 was read the first time and referred to the Labor and Commerce and Finance Committees. The following fiscal information was published today: Fiscal Note No. 1, Office of the Governor Fiscal Note No. 2, Office of the Governor Governor's transmittal letter dated January 19: Dear President Micciche: Under the authority of Article III, Section 18 of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a bill relating to employer contributions to the Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS). This bill requires the State of Alaska, as an employer, to pay the actuarially determined normal cost and past service cost at the contribution rate annually adopted by the Alaska Retirement Management Board under AS 37.20.220 for all actively employed defined benefit PERS members. The bill requires the State of Alaska, as an employer, to pay the actuarially determined normal cost and all contributions required under AS 39.30.370 and AS 39.35.750 for all actively employed defined contribution PERS members. This change will allow the State to collect plan benefit costs across its entire payroll base regardless of funding source. Significantly, the bill does not change contribution rates for other PERS employers. Currently, as an employer, the State of Alaska contributes 22 percent of base salaries for all actively employed PERS members on a payroll- by-payroll basis. In addition, under AS 39.35.280, the State is required to make an additional contribution on behalf of its employees towards the plan’s past service liability. The bill eliminates the requirement for the State to make these additional contributions on behalf of its employees, as that amount will now be paid directly to the system by applying the board adopted actuarial contribution rate. This bill provides increased flexibility to the State of Alaska as an employer, without impacting other employers and while continuing to ensure the soundness and stability of the PERS system. I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure. 2021-01-25 Senate Journal Page 0071 Sincerely, /s/ Mike Dunleavy Governor SB 56 SENATE BILL NO. 56 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: "An Act extending the January 15, 2021, governor's declaration of a public health disaster emergency in response to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID- 19) pandemic; providing for a financing plan; making temporary changes to state law in response to the COVID-19 outbreak in the following areas: occupational and professional licensing, practice, and billing; telehealth; fingerprinting requirements for health care providers; charitable gaming and online ticket sales; access to federal stabilization funds; wills; unfair or deceptive trade practices; and meetings of shareholders; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Health and Social Services, Labor and Commerce and Finance Committees.

This bill would extend the public health disaster emergency period to 2021-01-25 Senate Journal Page 0072 September 30, 2021, or until the commissioner of the Department of Health and Social Services certifies to the governor that there is no longer an outbreak of COVID-19 or an imminent threat of an outbreak in the State of Alaska, whichever is earlier. The bill includes a number of important provisions to protect the public and economic health of the State residents during this unprecedented public health emergency period. I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure. Sincerely, /s/ Mike Dunleavy Governor Unfinished Business SB 33 Senator Kiehl moved and asked unanimous consent to be shown as a cosponsor on SENATE BILL NO. 33 "An Act relating to a seafood product development tax credit; providing for an effective date by repealing secs. 32 and 35, ch. 61, SLA 2014; and providing for an effective date."
