The Alaska House Finance Committee meets on Thursday, May 12, 2022 at the Alaska State Capitol in Juneau, Alaska.
With a predominantly Republican coalition in charge of the House this year, it’s the first time that most Republican members of the state House have been in charge of the budgetary process, and subcommittees made no changes to the budgets proposed for 13 of 19 state agencies. This year, Dunleavy proposed a $4.6 billion state operating budget — $7 billion if the Permanent Fund dividend is included — and didn’t include the kinds of service cuts that drew public outcry in his first term.
Chaired by Rep. Julie Coulombe, R-Anchorage, the subcommittee cut a $900,000 department-level data project and $400,000 for two librarians at the state library in Juneau.The subcommittee also redirected $385,000 to hire two additional reading specialists intended to help implement the Alaska Reads Act, which the Legislature passed last year.
