Senate Joint Resolution 2 proposes a constitutional amendment, “Allow Debt for Postsecondary Student Loans” which is scheduled to appear in the 2016 general election pamphlet and ballot.
Alaska Statute 15.58.020(a)(6)(E), allows for the submission of statements that advocate voter approval or rejection of the proposed constitutional amendment in the general election pamphlet. Submitted statements may not exceed 500 words. All submissions will be considered, but we are looking for up to three authors to coordinate together a single final statement.
If you are interested in including a statement in opposition of this proposed constitutional amendment in the general election pamphlet, please return the statement in opposition, along with the attached Authors of Proposed Constitutional Amendment Statement form to my attention no later than 5:00 p.m. Friday, June 24. Electronic submission of statement via e-mail attachment is preferred.
A copy of the proposed constitutional amendment information can be found at http://notice.alaska.gov/181766
