AK SJR19
Joint Resolution
AI Summary
-
Urges U.S. Congress to provide Alaska a 90 percent share of all bonuses, royalties, and rentals from federal oil and gas leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) and National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska (NPR-A)
-
Alaska currently receives only 50 percent of receipts from ANWR and NPR-A under federal legislation, which the resolution argues violates the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 and Section 28 of the Alaska Statehood Act of 1958
-
References President Trump's 2025 executive order "Unleashing Alaska's Extraordinary Resource Potential" and Secretary's Order 3422, which rescind ANWR lease cancellations and open up to 82 percent of NPR-A to leasing
-
Argues the 90 percent share was a condition of statehood to offset Alaska's limited revenue-generating capacity due to geographic isolation and federal land withdrawals covering resource-rich areas
-
Requests that the original local impact grant program for communities affected by NPR-A production be maintained alongside the increased state revenue share
