AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoAlaska Legislature: Lawmakers adjourned their regular session Wednesday night, but the fight isn’t over—an immediate special session is set to tackle the trans-Alaska gas pipeline, with Gov. Mike Dunleavy and legislators still far apart on the LNG property-tax package. Crime & public safety: The Legislature also cleared a sweeping 65-page crime bill, including raising the age of consent to 18 and cracking down on mail theft and AI-made child sexual abuse material. Energy costs for schools: A separate education package passed that could shift more school heating and energy bills to the state, with energy relief grants starting next year. Gas prices & Memorial Day: Nationally, Memorial Day gas prices are up about $1.38 from last year, with the Iran conflict and Strait of Hormuz tensions still driving the pressure. Business ripple effects: Alaska’s airport security could soon get a fast-lane option as a driver’s license data-sharing bill heads to the governor.
