Subject: RE: APRA request follow up
Hi Lauren,
Thank you for the information of what you are trying to answer so I can better assist you. Here are the four bills that relate to the lower tax rate:
The initial inclusion of the lower tax rate was in HB 490 in 1998
HB 246 in 2002 with some wording changes
SB 357 in 2004 with some wording changes
SB 15 in 2015 changing the tax rate from .1% to .08%
The best way to get the answers you are looking for is to go to the Alaska Legislative website and use BASIS and then contact the legislative librarian for any documents not in BASIS. Here are the steps for BASIS:
https://akleg.gov/
Under Bills & Laws go to Past Legislatures (Archives)
Then go into each year and search for the bill number above
If there are documents, they will be under the Documents tab
The Minutes and Audio tab will have all the testimony that I believe you are looking for
If you need more information than what is available in BASIS, as not all documents were saved on the web, the legislative librarian will be able to help. There is an online Chat with the LIO staff that is available. I’ve chatted with them before and found them to be very helpful. Here is an email that might help: LIO.Juneau@akleg.gov
I would like to consider this public records request complete with this information.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thank you,
Rebecca
