The House Finance Committee took House Bill 2001, which was written by the Rules Committee specifically to pay $1,600 Permanent Fund dividends to Alaskansā¦
"An Act making a special appropriation from the earnings reserve
account for the payment of permanent fund dividends; and
providing for an effective date."
ā¦and the committee hoisted a substitute amendment that stuffed $444 million in spending into it, every cent of spending that Gov. Michael Dunleavy had vetoed out of the operating budget for the fiscal year that began July 1.
