AKLNG Tax Bill Faces Final Vote | Anchorage News

Lawmakers brace for a high-stakes vote on a final compromise tax bill for the AKLNG gasline project, a multibillion-dollar venture with deep political and economic implications. The bill, delayed for technical reviews, is set to debut Thursday morning and faces a Sunday midnight deadline before the special session ends. Central to the debate is the controversial S-corp tax provision, which could force major oil companies to pay millions in previously exempted taxes — a key demand from Senate legislators despite Governor Dunleavy’s opposition. While House Speaker Edgmon backs the compromise, he warns more tweaks may be needed down the road. Some Republicans fear the tax burden could derail the project, while leaders warn a third special session is unlikely due to exhaustion and campaign season. The fate of this bill could shape Alaska’s energy future for years to come.
