The legislature may 02 appropriate the estimated amounts to be collected and separately accounted for under 03 this subsection into the public education fund established in AS 14.17.300. Nothing in 04 this subsection creates a dedicated fund. 05 (h) In this section, "adjusted gross income" has the meaning given in 26 06 U.S.C. 62. 07 * Sec. 3. The uncodified law of the State of Alaska is amended by adding a new section to 08 read: 09 REGULATIONS. The Department of Revenue may adopt regulations to implement 10 sec. 2 of this Act.
