AlaskaResolution would let lawmakers consider two gas tax bills in special session
If approved, the resolution would let Alaska lawmakers keep considering two natural gas tax bills in the special session, effective from its start.
What it does
Lawmakers may keep considering two natural gas tax bills in the special session if the bills relate to topics in the governor’s proclamation.
Argument forLawmakers could keep considering two natural gas tax bills in the special session instead of leaving them behind when the regular session ended.
Argument againstContinuing these bills could take time from other special-session work, since lawmakers would keep considering bills already under review.
More detail
The resolution suspends parts of Rules 47 and 55 that would block bills from carrying into the special session. The two bills concern taxes on certain natural gas pipeline property, a tax on natural gas moving through pipelines, and how that tax revenue is shared. This applies only to House Bill 381 and Senate Bill 280, and only where the rules would block those bills from carrying over. Both bills must relate to subjects in the governor’s special-session proclamation. The resolution applies retroactively from May 21, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., when the special session began.
