Extending the governor's October 9, 2025, declaration of a disaster emergency in response to the 2025 West Coast Storm; and approving an amended financing plan.
This bill extends the state's disaster emergency declaration for the 2025 West Coast Storm from April 7, 2026, to May 7, 2026, allowing emergency agencies to continue their response efforts. It also approves an amended financing plan that increases the total state funding for disaster relief by $17.2 million and federal assistance by $6.38 million, bringing the total cost to $62.83 million. The resolution authorizes the use of these funds from the existing disaster relief fund to cover the additional expenses related to the storm's aftermath.

MINOR
The bill was converted from a working draft to its final enrolled version, updating the header to reflect the official 2026 session and removing internal committee tracking numbers. The substantive policy content regarding the disaster emergency extension and financing plan approval remains unchanged.
TECHNICAL
The document header was updated to include the official 'State of Alaska' title, 'The Legislature' subtitle, the year 2026, and the final 'Legislative Resolve No. 27' designation, replacing the draft committee identifiers.
Internal drafting markers, such as the 'am H' suffix, the 'SCR 19 am H' page footers, and the 'New Text Underlined [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED]' instructions, were removed to finalize the text.
Line breaks and indentation were adjusted to standardize the formatting of the 'WHEREAS' clauses and 'BE IT RESOLVED' sections for the official record.
