The following fiscal note(s) apply: 1. Fiscal, Dept. of Community & Economic Development The Governor's transmittal letter dated January 10, 2001, appears below: "Dear Speaker Porter: In keeping with Alaska's tradition of appropriate regulation of our occupations and professions, I am transmitting this bill extending the "sunset" of the State Board of Registration for Architects, Engineers, and Land Surveyors to June 30, 2005. The bill also creates a permanent landscape architect board member position. In 1998, I signed into law a bill adding a landscape architect to this state board as a temporary, non-voting position. Since that time, it has become clear the participation of a landscape architect on the board is important to effective professional licensing and oversight and the board has recommended its transition to a permanent seat. 2001-01-10 House Journal Page 0052 As a result of this bill, the board will have 11 members: five engineers, two architects, two land surveyors, one landscape architect and one member of the public. The temporary landscape architect board position is due to expire June 30, 2001 and that person would be eligible for reappointment if certain criteria are met. I urge your prompt and favorable action on this bill. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor"
