Committee hears bill to restore Permanent Fund dividends to people later exonerated; staff estimate ~$100,000 impact House Bill 189 would allow people whose convictions are vacated, reversed and later dismissed, or who are retried and found not guilty, to apply for missed Permanent Fund Dividend payments; staff estimated about five people could qualify for roughly $100,000 in back payments, paid from the prior‑year liability fund.
