The House and Senate held lengthy floor hearings with a day to go until the end of the session.

JUNEAU — With a day remaining until Alaska’s regular legislative session must end, lawmakers on Tuesday debated energy, education, elections, and crime legislation.

Rep. Alyse Galvin, an Anchorage independent, said the bill presented “a unique opportunity” to send a message to the separate utilities “to play in the same sandbox, together.” A bill proposed by Rep. Justin Ruffridge, a Soldotna Republican, would instruct the state board of education, whose members are appointed by Dunleavy, to enact temporary regulations that would expire next year, allowing the Legislature to amend its response to the court ruling in case the state supreme court overturns Zeman’s decision.was adopted by the House Finance Committee on Monday, but lawmakers had not scheduled it for a floor vote as of 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

This year’s budget includes a one-time $175 million education funding boost, but not the permanent increase, which could be added to education-related legislation on the House or Senate floor — something Minority Leader Calvin Schrage, an Anchorage independent, has said he would support doing.
