Chapter No. 65, SLA 2001 [Effective Date: July 4, 2001] This bill is well crafted to address Alaska's underage drinking problems. Its tough sanctions provide disincentives to continued drinking. At the same time it offers incentives for our youth to seek treatment and alcohol education. The approach is excellent. Unfortunately, this strong law will go on the books without adequate funds. Less than half of the funds needed to fully implement it were appropriated -- $800,000 out of the needed $1.75 million. While the legislature acknowledges the imperative to help our youth who have alcohol problems, it was unwilling to fully attack the problem and make our best effort to suppress it. I look forward to a greater future commitment to Alaska's youth. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor" HB 181 A message dated July 3, 2001, was received stating the Governor has signed the following bill and is transmitting the engrossed and enrolled copies to the Lieutenant Governor's office for permanent filing: CS FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 181(JUD) "An Act relating to the obligations of spouses, to insurance policies of spouses, to the nonprobate transfer of property on death to a community property trust, to the division of the community property of spouses at death, and to the Alaska Community Property Act; amending Rule 301, Alaska Rules of Evidence; and providing for an effective date."
