The uncodified law of the State of Alaska is amended by adding a new 06 section to read: 07 FINDINGS. The legislature finds that 08 (1) police, fire protection, emergency medical services, health services, and 09 roads are top priorities of the citizens of the state; 10 (2) the public safety foundation program is a return to the historically 11 successful original "revenue sharing for services" concept used from 1969 to 1980 to promote 12 more effective local governments and stable or reduced local taxes; 13 (3) municipalities should be held accountable for providing specific public 14 safety services with state shared revenues;
01 (4) the public safety foundation program is a positive incentive to incorporate 02 or for a municipality to accept more responsibility for roads and other high priority public 03 services; 04 (5) the village public safety officer program is designed to train and employ 05 individuals residing outside of municipalities as the first responders to public safety 06 emergencies, such as basic law enforcement, crime prevention, emergency medical assistance, 07 fire protection, and search and rescue; 08 (6) fully funding the municipal dividend from a portion of the excess earnings 09 of the permanent fund, after funding permanent fund dividends and inflation-proofing, will not 10 change the current calculation for the permanent fund dividend, but will save the local 11 taxpayers an average of $150 a year that would otherwise be required to support local public 12 services. 13 * Sec. 2.

01 percentage; 02 (3) the local share to be contributed by a municipality may be satisfied 03 with (A) federal, municipal, or local money; (B) labor, materials, or equipment used 04 directly in the construction of the project, or land, including land transferred by the 05 state to the municipality; the department shall determine the value of a contribution 06 under this subparagraph; (C) money from another nonstate source; (D) money received 07 by the municipality under AS 29.60.660 - 29.60.780 [AS 29.60.010 - 29.60.375]; (E) 08 state taxes refunded or reimbursed to the municipality whose use for the purposes of 09 this subsection is not prohibited; (F) allocations of state aid for the costs of school 10 construction debt under AS 14.11.100; and (G) money obtained from the sale or lease 11 of land or other assets transferred by the state to the municipality; except as provided 12 in this paragraph, the local share may not be satisfied with money from, or with the 13 portion of an asset that was obtained with money from, an appropriation, allocation, 14 entitlement, grant, or other payment from the state. 15 * Sec. 10. AS 37.06.030(b) is amended to read: 16 (b) For each draw made by an entity or council under AS 37.06.020, the 17 incorporated entity or Native village council that makes the draw shall contribute a 18 local share of the cost of the capital project for which the draw is made. The amount 19 of the local share equals the local share percentage as calculated under (1) of this 20 subsection, divided by the state share percentage as calculated under (2) of this 21 subsection, multiplied by the amount of the draw. For purposes of this subsection, 22 (1) the local share percentage is five percent; 23 (2) the state share percentage equals one minus the local share 24 percentage; 25 (3) the local share may be satisfied from (A) federal or local money; 26 (B) labor, materials, or equipment used directly in the construction of the project, or 27 land, including land transferred by the state; the department shall determine the value 28 of a contribution under this subparagraph; (C) money from another nonstate source; 29 (D) money received by the unincorporated community under AS 29.60.660 - 29.60.780 30 [AS 29.60.010 - 29.60.375]; or (E) money obtained from the sale or lease of land or 31 other assets transferred by the state; except as provided in this paragraph, the local

The municipal dividend equals the lesser of 09 (1) the amount calculated by multiplying $150 by the number of 10 permanent fund dividends paid by the Department of Revenue during the calendar year 11 immediately preceding the year the transfer is made under this subsection; or 12 (2) the balance of the earnings reserve account on the date of the 13 transfer under this subsection. 14 * Sec. 12.
