Please proceed, Mr. Painter. So going on to slide 10. So going further in this section, in Section 18, AB 4359-030 provides the municipalities will directly collect the tax for the portion of the project property that's located in that municipality, weighted again by the capital costs. And the next slide will show DOR's projection of what those are. So the state will collect the tax for the unorganized borough, and DOR will adopt regulations to determine how much the state and each municipality may levy by determining that project, the capital project weight.
Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor Peter Micciche told the Alaska Senate Finance Committee Wednesday that the House version of the Alaska LNG tax bill provides a workable 70% property tax reduction, while the original 90% cut would have left local taxpayers subsidizing the project.

Legislative Finance Division analysis shows the alternative volumetric tax structure in Senate Bill 2001 would generate approximately $124 million annually when the full Alaska LNG project is operational, with Kenai Peninsula Borough receiving $55 million and North Slope Borough receiving $40 million based on capital expenditure weights.
