Alaska HB189 allows individuals whose criminal convictions have been overturned to receive past Alaska Permanent Fund Dividends.

HB189 amends Alaska law to allow individuals who were ineligible for a Permanent Fund Dividend due to a criminal conviction to receive the dividend if their conviction is later vacated, reversed, or dismissed, or if they are retried and found not guilty. The bill also specifies that eligible individuals must apply for the dividend within one year of the dismissal or not guilty finding. This applies retroactively to those whose convictions were overturned before the bill's effective date.
