+Sponsor Statement
+Senate Joint Resolution 14
+Constitutional Amendment: Permanent Fund; POMV; Earnings
+Senate Joint Resolution 14 (SJR 14) seeks to provide financial stability by consolidating the
+Permanent Fund's two-account structure into one and constitutionally limit the draw to five
+percent of market value (POMV) of the Fund for the first five of the preceding six fiscal years.
+Consolidating the two accounts follows globally recognized best practices for endowments and
+trusts. A single-fund model ensures all earnings are retained and reinvested within the Fund,
+eliminating the need for inflation-proofing, and the endowment model structure guarantees an
+annual, sustainable POMV transfer. Additionally, constitutionalizing the draw protects the
+Permanent Fund by preventing the legislature from making ad hoc draws on the Fund.
+Since Fiscal Year 2019, the use of a POMV draw from the Permanent Fund provides revenue
+stability and yields the largest source of Unrestricted General Fund dollars to the state budget.
+This constitutional amendment offers the necessary framework for continuing predictability and
+security of this revenue source.
