AMAC Action Presents: Protecting Alaska's Permanent Fund Dividend

Protecting Alaska's Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) primarily involves efforts to place the dividend, and the Permanent Fund itself, into the Alaska Constitution to ensure its long-term existence and prevent political interference or 'raiding' by the legislature.

Key proposals include constitutional amendments that establish the PFD as an entitlement derived from the state's natural resource wealth and guarantee a sustainable payout based on fund earnings. This approach aims to secure the dividend for all Alaskans and establish a stable fiscal future for the state by treating the fund as an endowment for future generations.

This panel discussion includes Alaska legislators explaining why protection is needed and key proposals for protection.
