Urging Governor Dunleavy and the Department of Administration to release all copies of the statewide salary study.

HR 5 is a resolution urging Governor Dunleavy and the Department of Administration to publicly release all versions of Alaska's statewide salary study, including drafts. The study, contracted for $950,000 with The Segal Company and originally due by July 2024, was completed before its deadline but delayed through multiple contract extensions. It directly affects public sector employees - such as teachers, firefighters, and road maintenance workers - who face high vacancy rates (up to 32%) and stagnant wages due to outdated pay data. The resolution emphasizes that timely access to the study is critical for fair wage negotiations during collective bargaining.
