SJR 22 Alaska Senate · 34th Legislature (2025-2026)

Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Alaska relating to public education.

SJR 22 proposes a constitutional amendment to Alaska's public education framework. It adds a new provision requiring the state to recognize and preserve the cultural heritage of Alaska Natives within public schools, while maintaining existing language that prohibits public funding for religious institutions. This amendment, if approved by voters, would change the state constitution to explicitly commit to cultural preservation in education policy. The bill must be submitted to voters at the next general election per Alaska's constitutional process.
