Introduce and support legislation to make the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend federally tax-free.
Occurrences
Evidence
Congressman Begich announced the introduction of H.R. 7760 and said it was legislation he sponsored to make the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend federally tax-free.
GovInfo lists H.R. 7760 as introduced in the House on March 3, 2026, with action text stating that Mr. Begich introduced the bill and it was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means; the full title says it would exclude certain state-fund payments from gross income.
Assessments
The promise was to introduce and support legislation, not necessarily to secure enactment. During his same federal House term, Begich introduced and sponsored H.R. 7760, the Protect Future Dividends Act, aimed at making Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend payments federally tax-free, and publicly promoted the bill. The evidence does not show enactment, but the specific promised legislative action was completed.
