“The State of Alaska applied for a good faith waiver. Representative Mina had mentioned it, and we received a good faith waiver for implementing these changes for 1 year. We have subsequently asked for an additional year for this good faith waiver and we have been granted that waiver.”

There's no comparable previous category or rule, but Alaska Native— qualifying Alaska Native and American Indian people are— including statutory Indian urban categories are exempt from able-bodied work requirements. The State of Alaska applied for a good faith waiver. Representative Mina had mentioned it, and we received a good faith waiver for implementing these changes for 1 year. We have subsequently asked for an additional year for this good faith waiver and we have been granted that waiver. I am wondering why does the State of Alaska require or ask for the good faith waiver?
