SJR 2-CONST AM: APPROPRIATION LIMIT 3:34:57 PM CHAIR DUNLEAVY announced the consideration of Senate Joint Resolution (SJR) 2. 3:35:03 PM SENATOR GIESSEL moved to adopt the committee substitute (CS) for SJR 2, version: 30-LS0123\M. CHAIR DUNLEAVY objected for discussion purposes. 3:35:26 PM DANIEL GEORGE, Staff, Senator Dunleavy, Alaska State Legislature, Juneau, Alaska, paraphrased the following "Explanation of Changes" document for the Senate CS for SJR 2(STA), version: 30-LS0123\M: Page 1, line 1: The bill title is clarified to reflect that the Constitution will be amended in two places, due to the addition of an applicability section within the CS. Article IX, Section 16, Appropriation Limit is a revision of an existing section; and Article XV, Section 30, Application of Appropriation Limit is a new section. Page 1, line 7: Changes the appropriation limit from four billion two hundred fifty million dollars to four billion three hundred million dollars. Page 1, lines 12- 13: Adds receipts of the Alaska permanent fund which are appropriated to the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation to the list of appropriations exempt from the limit. Page 2, lines 6-7: Clarifies the language of the bill to explain that the revenue limit excludes an appropriation that is duplicating the authorization to expend funds from another appropriation. Page 2, lines 21-25: Adds a new section to clarify that the appropriation limit would apply to appropriations made for FY2020, and thereafter. 3:36:31 PM SENATOR COGHILL joined the committee meeting. 3:37:03 PM CHAIR DUNLEAVY removed his objection. He announced that seeing no other objection, the CS for SJR 2, version M was adopted. He explained that his intent is to move slowly on SJR 2 and make changes prior to moving the resolution to the next committee. He addressed page 1, lines 7-8 and noted that an issue regarding the base that will be used to calculate the appropriation limit will be continually discussed. He set forth that his office has addressed the base-formula component in terms of percentage-of- inflation and population. He added that committee members will receive "interesting data" from a recent poll that the Alaska Chamber of Commerce commissioned Dittman Research that addressed a spending cap. MR. GEORGE pointed out that a high-level calculation worksheet is available to committee members which shows how the base number in the bill was determined. CHAIR DUNLEAVY held SJR 2 in committee.
