Apart from the statutory changes enacted in this bill,                        
the legislature wishes to convey its intent that the                           
Child Support Enforcement Division distinguish

obligations under this chapter and those who do not.                           
To the extent allowed by this chapter and federal                              
law, this distinction should be actively reflected in                          
all agency communications as well as in the nature,                            
extent and timing of enforcement actions, subject to                           
reasonable precautions to avoid uncollectability of

It is the intent of the Legislature that the Department of Health and          
Social Services shall impose cost sharing charges on eligible persons          
under the state Medicaid plan to the maximum extent allowed under              
federal law and regulations; however, if the department has clear and          
compelling reason to believe that application of this policy to a              
specific Medicaid service would not promote the purpose of reducing            
state expenditures or would generate savings that are insignificant in         
relation to the total cost containment possible, then the department           
shall have minimal flexibility to waive application of this policy.            
Furthermore, it is the intent of the Legislature that the department           
present a report to the first session of the Nineteenth Legislature,           
describing the status of implementation of this cost sharing policy,           
indicating any specific Medicaid service for which this policy was             
waived, and presenting the rationale for such a waiver.  The report            
shall include a listing of waivers sought from the federal government          
and an indication of those granted.

selections for land that was not vacant, unappropriated, or unreserved         
on the date of selection shall be rescinded, and patent may not be

Before a decision is issued the Department of Community and                    
Regional Affairs shall review the selection and recommend approval

upon a finding that the public interest in retaining state ownership           
of the land outweighs the municipality's interest in obtaining the             
land. A patent shall be issued to the municipality for land selected           
in satisfaction of a general grant land entitlement vested under ASAS

the municipality in writing of the decision and set out reasons for it.        
The municipality may submit a written response within 30 days after            
receipt of the notice. Within 30 days after the period for responding          
has expired, the director shall affirm, modify, or reverse the decision        
and supply the municipality with written notice of that action. If the         
selection is disapproved, the municipality may file notice of an               
appeal with the director. The appeal shall be heard under procedures           
adopted by regulation of the Department of Natural Resources.                  
Before reaching a decision on an appeal the Department of Natural              
Resources shall request the Department of Community and Regional               
Affairs to review the matter and submit a recommendation. After                
reviewing the recommendation, a decision on the appeal shall be                
submitted by the Department of Natural Resources to the                        
municipality in writing within 30 days after the notice of appeal was          
filed with the director. A municipality may appeal an adverse                  
decision to the superior court under AS 44.62.560 - 44.62.570.
