Proposing amendments to the Constitution of the State of Alaska relating to the Alaska permanent fund; relating to appropriations from the Alaska permanent fund; relating to transfers out of the Alaska permanent fund; and requiring payment of a dividend to eligible state residents.
This constitutional amendment proposal (HJR 30) would change Alaska's Permanent Fund rules by:
1) Limiting annual withdrawals to 5% of the fund's 5-year average value,
2) Mandating that 50% of those withdrawals automatically go to eligible residents as annual dividends (without needing new legislation each year),
3) Allowing the remaining 50% for government operations, and
4) Requiring voter approval for these constitutional changes at the next general election.
It directly affects how the Permanent Fund is managed, who receives dividends, and the legislature's authority over fund withdrawals.
