May 12, 2021 (Juneau, AK) – Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy proposed revisions to strengthen his Permanent Fund constitutional amendment (SJR 6) that builds a sustainable fiscal future for all Alaskans and guarantees an annual dividend to all Alaskans now and in the future. If passed by the Alaska Legislature, Alaskans will have the final word on the most significant policy decision since the establishment of the Permanent Fund when the amendment appears on the November 2022 general election ballot.
Today’s action accomplishes four significant fiscal policy goals:
Guarantees a PFD for every eligible Alaskan now and for future generations
Creates a fair and sustainable 50/50 split of Permanent Fund earnings between PFDs and core state services
