Leading Alaska state legislators said this week that they intend to wrap up the 2023 legislative session in mid-May, closer to the Alaska Constitution’s 121-day limit than the 90-day limit approved by voters in a 2006 ballot measure.
“We’re halfway through 121 days, we’ve got a lot to do on all the big issues … so no, we’re not going to be getting out in 90 days,” he said. House Finance Committee co-chair DeLena Johnson, R-Palmer, said the committee’s draft of the state operating budget will be published early next week, with amendments on that draft debated the following week.
Seventeen years ago, Alaska voters narrowly approved a ballot measure setting a 90-day limit for legislative sessions. Only four times since then have lawmakers finished their work in 90 days or fewer, and in one of those four years, they immediately went into a special session. In all other years since then, the regular session has lasted longer than 90 days.
