SB 1 Alaska Senate · 34th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relating to appropriations to the civil legal services fund.

SB 1 updates funding rules for Alaska's civil legal services fund, which provides legal aid to low-income Alaskans. It specifies that annual funding comes only from two sources: state general fund money (up to 25% of Alaska Court System filing fees from the previous year) and other designated state funds. The bill clarifies that funds must be used exclusively for organizations serving individuals with incomes at or below 125% of the federal poverty level. It explicitly states the fund is not a dedicated revenue source, maintaining its status as a flexible budget account within the state's general fund.
