HB 401 - Fiscal Note 1
FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. LL0113-1
2022 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
The proposed legislation requires divestment of Russian assets (Russian Government bonds, Equities, etc.) from funds
under the Commissioner of Revenues fiduciary duty managed by the Treasury Division. Decisions to divest for the Alaska
Permanent Fund Corporation (APFC) and the Alaska Retirement Management Board (ARMB) retirement assets are not
included and left for those entities boards.
While the Russian market is currently closed and the opportunities for divestment remain slim, the proposed legislation
provides for a 180day exit from these assets. For comingled funds, divestiture is not required but the fiduciary would be
required to request that the fund manager consider similar divestment.
The proposed legislation also requires that the Commissioner of Revenue may not do business with banks who are
profiteering from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The remainder of the bill exempts those taking divestment actions or inactions taken in good faith from liability for doing
so and provides reporting mechanisms to the Legislature as to the divestment activity undertaken.
The fiscal impact of the bill is indeterminate as a result of the timing and proceeds from sale of Russian assets being not
known at this stage.
