AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoAlaska LNG Fight: Gov. Mike Dunleavy says the Senate’s Alaska LNG tax-break changes “don’t work,” and calls lawmakers back for a second special session after the House canceled a floor vote; the Senate had approved a reduced-tax bill in a 12-8 vote, but Dunleavy and developer Glenfarne say amendments would make the project “unworkable.” Legislative Overrides: The Legislature overrode two of Dunleavy’s vetoes—HB 195 expanding pharmacists’ authority and HB 314 updating interior designer/architect-engineer-similar licensing—while other veto attempts failed. Public Health Law: HB 27 became law without the governor’s signature, requiring Hands-Only CPR training in public schools and expanding Alaska’s response system for heart attacks and strokes. Fisheries Relief: NOAA allocated nearly $99 million to Alaska for declared fishery disasters, including Bering Sea snow crab and Chignik/Cook Inlet salmon. Safety Update: Alaska State Troopers report a child died after an intoxicated woman rolled an ATV in the Jim Creek Recreation Area. Local Notes: The Alaska Marine Highway ferry LeConte returns to service after months in a shipyard; North Pole Police begins training for K9 Yeti.
