The following fiscal note(s) apply: 1. Indeterminate, Dept. of Revenue The Governor's transmittal letter dated February 15 follows: "Dear Speaker Tilton: Under the authority of Article III, Section 18 of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a bill creating a new fifty percent tax credit to make childcare, residential energy, housing, and groceries more affordable for Alaskans. The high cost of these economic sectors hinders growth, entrepreneurism, and hiring in Alaska. Alaska's cost of living is among the highest in the nation. This bill incentivizes the private sector to make strategic investments in the economic infrastructure necessary to attract a strong workforce, encourage entrepreneurism, and build a stronger Alaska. I urge your prompt and favorable consideration of this legislation. Sincerely, /s/ Mike Dunleavy Governor"
