The Alaska State Legislature gaveled into session
on January 17 and are now working towards an April 15 adjournment date
to comply with the 90-day session limit.
We will be posting regular updates on this website as well as sharing links and information in our new enewsletters that will be sent to our UAF Alumni members and friends. Be sure to bookmark this page for easy reference.
This promises to be a very interesting session with issues ranging from energy cost relief, oil and gas tax amendments to operating and capital budgets and the looming election season ahead.
Already the House Finance Committee is working on its review of the Governor’s FY13 operating budget. UA President Gamble will be making his introductory overview on the FY13 Board of Regents request (PDF) on February 1 and 2 to the House Finance Subcommittee for the UA Budget (consisting of all members of the House Finance Committee ) and future hearings are scheduled for this purpose on February 14 and 16. These hearings may be televised on “ Gavel to Gavel ”. Operating budget closeout hearings will be posted in late February.
There will be a number of great opportunities to actively advocate for your issues throughout the session. The first one on the operating budget will probably fall around the last week in February or first week in March so stay tuned to this website for updates and more information in this regard.
Thank you for all you do for the University of Alaska!
