this time:

Proposing amendments to the Constitution of the State of Alaska               
relating to redistricting and reapportionment of the legislature;              
repealing obsolete language setting out the apportionment schedule             
used to elect members of the first state legislature.                          
                                                                               
and

(same title)

HJR 44                                                                       
There being no objection, it was so ordered.                                   
                                                                               
Representative Porter moved that the House concur in the Senate                
amendment to CSHJR 44(RLS) am, thus adopting SCS CSHJR
(JUD), and recommended that the members vote yes.                            
                                                                               
The question being: "Shall the House concur in the Senate amendment            
to CSHJR 44(RLS) am?"  The roll was taken with the following result:           
                                                                               
SCS CSHJR 44(JUD)                                                              
Concur                                                                         
                                                                               
YEAS:  22   NAYS:  17   EXCUSED:  0   ABSENT:  1                             
                                                                               
Yeas:  Austerman, Barnes, Cowdery, Davis, Dyson, Foster, Green,                
Hanley, Hodgins, Hudson, Ivan, James, Kelly, Kott, Masek, Mulder,              
Phillips, Porter, Rokeberg, Ryan, Sanders, Therriault

Vezey, Williams                                                                
                                                                               
Absent:  Moses                                                                 
                                                                               
And so, lacking the necessary 27 votes, the House failed to concur in          
the Senate amendment, thus failing to adopt SCS CSHJR 44(JUD).                 
                                                                               
Representative Mulder gave notice of reconsideration of his vote to            
concur in the Senate amendment to CSHJR 44(RLS) am.
