Overview
This bill amends Alaska’s Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) program to allow individuals whose criminal convictions have been vacated, reversed, or dismissed to receive a PFD. Specifically, it creates a pathway for people previously ineligible due to a conviction to receive the dividend if the conviction is cleared, and establishes a one-year window to apply for the dividend after the dismissal or not guilty finding. The bill also adjusts the calculation of the PFD to include those who were previously ineligible due to a conviction.
