Mr. Speaker, We are facing what appears to be an unusually difficult situation, so it is with deepest respect for the spiritual convictions of all Alaskans that I ask you join me in the following prayer: Lord, we are a bit nervous, to be honest, because we aren't accustomed to working under these conditions. Therefore, as you already know, we need your help. Help us to focus on doing our part – instead of worrying about whether others are doing their part. Help us to listen carefully to one another. 2020-03-18 House Journal Page 1926 Help us to trust those who have been placed in charge of responding to this situation and to coordinate our effort with theirs. Admonish us if you find we're using this as an opportunity to draw attention to ourselves or to take advantage of someone else. Finally, Lord, we realize these situations are an opportunity to draw closer to each other – and for that we give you thanks. Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Vance.

Chapter No. 2, SLA 2020 [Effective Date: See Chapter] The following reductions were made to the Mental Health Capital and Operating budget. The Department of Health and Social Services, Division of Behavioral Health, Behavioral Health Treatment and Recovery Grants, were reduced by $70,200 Unrestricted General Fund (UGF) because the work can be accomplished with existing funding; this item was not a recommendation of the Mental Health Trust. The Department of Law, Civil Division Except Janus, was reduced by $100,100 UGF which does not reflect a desire to reduce the program, but a rejection of the proposed appropriation structure; this item was not a recommendation of the Mental Health Trust. Finally, in the Department of Revenue for the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation, $2,000,000 UGF was reduced from the Mental Health Beneficiary and Special Needs Housing project to bring the funding level in line with historical funding for this program. In addition to covering the FY2021 Mental Health budget, this bill also contains critical supplemental authorization for FY2020 necessary to respond to COVID-19. After my vetoes, the total enacted amount of this bill, inclusive of the FY2020 supplemental COVID-19 funding, is $240.7 million comprised of $169.5 million of Unrestricted General Funds, $45 million of Designated General Funds, $17.2 million of other funds, and $9 million of federal funds.
