Governor Mike Dunleavy has yet to sign a bill passed by the legislature making Juneteenth an official state holiday.
Many wonder whether Governor Mike Dunleavy will sign a bill to make Juneteenth a state holidayANCHORAGE, Alaska - Will he or wont he sign? That’s the question some people are asking Gov. Mike Dunleavy after Senate Bill 22 was passed by the Alaska Legislature in 2024, seeking to designate Juneteenth as an official state holiday.
Gray-Jackson’s bill passed the Alaska Senate back in 2023, but Gray-Jackson said she knew it would have a harder time passing in the House where members were concerned about an estimated price tag of more than $950,000 dollars to make Juneteenth an annual, paid holiday for all state employees. The bill passed the House in a vote of 37 to 3. It’s been on Gov. Dunleavy’s desk since Thursday, June 13. So far, he hasn’t signed it into law. Instead, the governor released a proclamation Saturday recognizing the day’s importance with no mention of the bill.
