An Act making appropriations, including supplemental appropriations, capital appropriations, reappropriations, and other appropriations; amending appropriations; capitalizing funds; and providing for an effective date.
HB 289 is an appropriations bill that allocates funding for Alaska's 2025-2026 fiscal year (July 1, 2025-June 30, 2026) to state agencies. It provides specific funding amounts for agencies like the Department of Corrections ($20 million for Population Management), the Alaska Energy Authority ($250,000), and the Department of Fish and Game (e.g., $651,400 for Commercial Fisheries). The bill does not create new policies or programs but directs existing funds to support ongoing state operations and services. It affects all state agencies receiving these allocations, as well as Alaskans who rely on services funded through these appropriations.
