OMB presents roughly $467.7 million FY2026 supplemental; House bill totals higher The Office of Management and Budget told the Senate Finance Committee the governor's FY2026 supplemental request totals about $467.7 million, covering formula programs, capital fund recapitalizations and operational shortfalls; OMB contrasted that with the House version (HB 2 89), which totals about $489.9 million largely due to fire‑suppression and contingency language.

Alaska's governor is seeking nearly $468 million in supplemental funding to address critical budget shortfalls, but the House's proposal could add even more to the mix!
