IX, sec. 17(c), Constitution of the State of Alaska, from the constitutional budget reserve fund; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Finance Committee. Governor's transmittal letter dated March 5: Dear President Therriault: The operating budget bill delivered today contains my proposal for the 2004 fiscal year. This Administration has gone through an extensive process to evaluate state programs in order to prepare the state budget. Given our current financial situation, many programs are eliminated or reduced, while some programs are increased. Several of my budget proposals require legislative change to be implemented. The necessary legislation accompanies the budget submission. I look forward to working closely with this Legislature to jointly craft a responsive state budget that efficiently provides Alaska residents essential state services at a cost that the state can afford over the long- term. Sincerely yours, /s/ Frank H. Murkowski Governor SB 36 SPONSOR SUBSTITUTE FOR SENATE BILL NO. 36 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: "An Act making appropriations for the operating and capital expenses of the state's integrated comprehensive mental health program; and providing for an effective date."
