OPINION
COMPTON, Justice.
The issue in this appeal is whether AS 43.23.005(d), 1 which prohibits certain felons from collecting permanent fund dividends, violates the equal protection clause of the United States Constitution and/or the Alaska Constitution. 2 The superior court held the statute violative of “equal protection.” We reverse.
I. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
AS 43.23.005(d) provides that persons convicted of a felony, who are incarcerated during any period of a fiscal year as a result of the conviction, are ineligible for a permanent fund dividend (dividend) for that year.
