III, sec. 17, of the Alaska Constitution, and in the public interest, I am supplementing my proclamation of May 21, 2002 [page 3935], calling the Twenty- Second Legislature of the State of Alaska into its third special session on June 24, 2002, with the following subject: an appropriation to provide financing for services for veterans in the Alaska Pioneers' and Veterans' Home. 2002-06-24 House Journal Page 4009 This proclamation supplements my proclamation of May 21, 2002. Done by, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor" An Administrative Order dated May 24, 2002, with an accompanying letter was received and is on file in the Chief Clerk's office. A Declaration of Disaster Emergency dated May 29, 2002, with an accompanying letter was received and is on file in the Chief Clerk's office. A Declaration of Disaster Emergency dated May 31, 2002, with an accompanying letter was received and is on file in the Chief Clerk's office. The Declaration and letter had been copied to the Finance Committee. SB 161 The following letter, dated June 20, 2002, was received: "Dear Speaker Porter: Under the authority of art. II, sec. 15 of the Alaska Constitution, I have vetoed the following bill: HOUSE CS FOR CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 161(JUD) (efd am H) "An Act relating to the withholding of salary of justices, judges, and magistrates; relating to prompt decisions by justices, judges, and magistrates; relating to judicial retention elections for judicial officers; and providing for an effective date." This bill would further restrict the time available to a judge to complete the judge's case work. The method chosen by the legislature to enforce the time limit effectively evades the protection from legislative interference afforded to judicial salaries by the Alaska Constitution. 2002-06-24 House Journal Page 4010 This bill would also require that election materials be prepared to advise voters when a justice or judge has exceeded the statutory time limit. This would further an unconstitutional means of exercising power over the independent judiciary and should not become a part of our statutory law. While I believe that it is desirable to encourage prompt judicial decisions, it is another matter to use unconstitutional means to achieve that end. Existing law imposes a time limit for the judiciary to complete its business. It has worked for 40 years and should be left undisturbed. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor" HB 106 A message dated June 20, 2002, 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: SENATE CS FOR CS FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 106(FIN) "An Act relating to the authorizations for certain state financial institutions of certain powers and limitations; relating to confidential records of depositors and customers of certain financial institutions; relating to the examination of certain institutions subject to AS 06; relating to the Alaska Banking Code, Mutual Savings Bank Act, Alaska Small Loans Act, and Alaska Credit Union Act; amending Rule 45, Alaska Rules of Civil Procedure, Rules 17 and 37, Alaska Rules of Criminal Procedure, and Rule 24, Alaska Bar Rules; and providing for an effective date."

Chapter No. 70, SLA 2002 Effective Date: September 18, 2002 SB 252 The following letter, dated June 20, 2002, was received: "Dear Speaker Porter: On this date I have signed the following bill passed by the second session of the Twenty-Second Alaska State Legislature and am transmitting the engrossed and enrolled copies to the Lieutenant Governor's Office for permanent filing: HOUSE CS FOR CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 252(FIN) "An Act renaming the Alaska Human Resource Investment Council as the Alaska Workforce Investment Board and relating to 2002-06-24 House Journal Page 4016 its membership; relating to repayment on promissory notes for work-related items paid for by grant programs; extending the termination date of the state training and employment program; relating to employment and training activities; and providing for an effective date." Chapter No. 86, SLA 2002 [Effective Date: See Chapter] I am signing this bill into law because the negative consequences of not allowing it to become law are too high of a price to pay by denying vital training opportunities through the State Training Employment Program (STEP). However, I am greatly disturbed by this blatant tactic of holding the STEP hostage to guarantee funds for specific education programs rather than letting those programs compete openly for grants under the system set up for this reason. This is the third time the Legislature has chosen to use the Alaska Technical and Vocational Education Program account for specific grants to the University of Alaska, Kotzebue Technical Center and Alaska Vocational Technical Center and the second time for the Galena Vocational Training Center. And this bill is promising the funds to these four entities for another three years--through 2006. The first time these grants were made, in 2000, they were presented as a one-time, transitional provision until the Alaska Human Resource Investment Council was able to establish the grant program. Rather, the Legislature is making this an annual grant, attempting to bind future legislatures and totally circumventing the appropriate grant process that is now in place. Employers should be equally outraged at this grant process because the funds come out of the taxes they pay into the Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund. Furthermore, employers should be concerned that this statutory deferral from the UI Trust Fund of Training Vocational Education Program funds is not being used for it's stated purpose, technical and vocational training, but rather for capital expenditures at selected institutions. 2002-06-24 House Journal Page 4017 I hope next year's Legislature will recognize the errors of this process, reverse it, and allow this program to proceed as originally designed and intended. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor" SB 302 A message dated June 20, 2002, 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: HOUSE CS FOR CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 302(HES) "An Act defining the term 'mental health professional' for the purpose of statutes relating to the evaluation of prisoners who may need psychological or psychiatric treatment, for the purpose of statutes relating to the evaluation of children in need of aid and delinquent minors who may need to be confined in a secure residential psychiatric treatment center or who should be released from such a center, for the purpose of statutes requiring certain professionals to report the possibility that a vulnerable adult has been abused or neglected, and for the purpose of statutes relating to mental health civil commitments." Chapter No. 73, SLA 2002 Effective Date: September 18, 2002 SB 324 A message dated June 20, 2002, 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 SENATE BILL NO. 324(L&C) "An Act providing that a utility or electric operating entity owned and operated by a political subdivision of the state competing directly with a telecommunications utility is not subject to the Alaska Public Utilities Regulatory Act." 2002-06-24 House Journal Page 4018 Chapter No. 74, SLA 2002 Effective Date: September 18, 2002 COMMUNICATIONS Letters of disclosure, as required by AS 24.60, were published June 21, 2002, in House Journal Supplement No. 9.

The following fiscal note(s) apply: 1. Fiscal, Dept. of Community & Economic Development The Governor's transmittal letter dated June 24, 2002, follows: "Dear Speaker Porter: I am transmitting a bill that extends the life of the Regulatory Commission of Alaska to avoid its termination of that agency on June 30 of this year. The bill also includes provisions, developed with industry input, that set deadlines for commission actions and clarify its authority to accept stipulations from parties to commission proceedings. It is important to pass this bill before the commission's termination date. The commission regulates utilities in the state and regulates pipelines to the extent of their intrastate operations. The commission's role is essential to consumers in the state as well as to the regulated entities. Failure to extend the commission this session will significantly interfere with its work. Though there is a "wind down" year, the commission will have to redirect its time and energy to plan for closing shop. The commission may not be able to take on new filings 2002-06-24 House Journal Page 4020 or applications, or even complete currently filed ones. Failure to extend the agency leaves the regulated entities as well as consumers in a state of confusion and uncertainty. I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor" HB 3002 HOUSE BILL NO. 3002 by the House Rules Committee by request of the Governor, entitled: "An Act making appropriations to the Department of Administration, division of Alaska longevity programs, to enable the division to make available additional beds in the Alaska Pioneers' and Veterans' Home; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Finance Committee. The Governor's transmittal letter dated June 24, 2002, follows: "Dear Speaker Porter: I am transmitting a bill making fiscal year 2003 appropriations necessary to fill approximately 100 currently empty beds in our six Alaska Pioneers' Homes and provide critical services to Alaskans, including Alaska veterans. Through the combination of general funds and program receipts in this bill we can provide affordable care for Alaska's veterans and other seniors. Recent passage of legislation to establish the Alaska Pioneer's and Veteran's Homes System sets the stage to fully utilize the facilities in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Palmer, Juneau, Ketchikan, and Sitka. 2002-06-24 House Journal Page 4021 I urge prompt and favorable action on this measure. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor" UNFINISHED BUSINESS Representative James moved and asked unanimous consent that Representative Rokeberg be excused from a call of the House June 25, 2002. There being no objection, it was so ordered. **The presence of Representative Kookesh was noted. ENGROSSMENT AND ENROLLMENT HB 404 The following was engrossed and enrolled, signed by the Speaker and Chief Clerk, President and Secretary of the Senate, and the engrossed and enrolled copies were transmitted to the Office of the Governor at 1:29 p.m., June 24, 2002: CONFERENCE CS FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 404 "An Act making appropriations for the operating and capital expenses of the state's integrated comprehensive mental health program; and providing for an effective date." The following letter, dated June 24, 2002, from Senator Donley, Conference Committee Chair, Representative Mulder, Vice Chair, to Ms. Caren Robinson, Chair, Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority was also transmitted to the Office of the Governor: "Dear Ms. Robinson: In accordance with AS 37.14.005(c), this letter explains the changes made to the Governor's Amended comprehensive FY 03 mental health and developmental disabilities services budget proposal as approved by the Legislature in CCS HB 404. 2002-06-24 House Journal Page 4022 We appreciate the good working relationship that has been established between the Trust and the Legislature. It enabled us to address many issues in creative and efficient ways that would not otherwise be possible. As you are aware, the total state FY 03 general fund budget was reduced relative to FY 02. The legislature's FY 03 general fund/mental health appropriation of $130,399,900 is approximately $3 million less than FY 02. However, $3.6 million in general fund/mental health funds were replaced with new alcohol tax revenues and $586,000 was reappropriated to Pioneer Homes, thus the total funding for these programs is above the FY 02 level while the total state general fund budget was reduced. MHTAAR funds appropriated for operations and capital were less than the FY 02 level as available investment income earnings were reduced. The total comprehensive program as approved by the legislature is $140,624,600 (plus the $3.6 million new alcohol tax revenue and $586,000 reappropriation to the Pioneer's Homes). Program Changes - Operating Department of Administration Longevity Programs Management The FY 03 GF/Mental Health appropriation to Pioneers Homes was reduced by $234,100 from the Governor's amended budget request. $586,000 was reappropriated from the FY 02 Longevity Bonus appropriation to Pioneer Homes which more than offsets the GF/Mental Health reduction. Senior Services The FY 03 GF/Mental Health appropriation to Senior Services was reduced by $3,600 from the Governor's amended budget request. Legal and Advocacy Services The FY 03 GF/Mental Health appropriation to Legal and Advocacy Services was reduced by $23,600 from the Governor's amended budget request. 2002-06-24 House Journal Page 4023 Department of Corrections The GF/Mental Health funding for the Department of Corrections is unchanged from the Governor's amended budget request. Department of Education and Early Development The GF/Mental Health funding in the Department of Education and Early Development was reduced by $700 from the Governor's amended budget request as part of an agency-wide unallocated budget reduction. Department of Health and Social Services Commissioner's Office The GF/Mental Health funding for the Commissioner's Office is reduced by $8,200 from the Governor's amended budget request. Purchased Services, Residential Child Care The GF/Mental Health funding for Residential Child Care is reduced by $50,000 from the Governor's amended budget request. Funding for Residential Child Care is largely refinanced through Medicaid in the FY 03 budget. State Health Services The GF/Mental Health funding for the Maternal, Child and Family Health is reduced by $4,000 from the Governor's amended budget request. The GF/Mental Health funding for Community Health Grants is increased by $98,300 from the Governor's amended budget request. The GF/Mental Health funding for the Infant Learning program is reduced by $550,000 from the Governor's amended budget request, the Department of Health and Social Services indicated in budget impact statements that if the Infant Learning Program was changed to a needs based program that savings up to $1 million could be achieved. This reduction was made with the direction that the program be operated as a needs based program. Alcohol and Drug Abuse Grants A total reduction of $4,864,100 in GF/Mental Health funding was taken by the Legislature relative to the Governor's amended budget request in this component. The Legislature replaced $3.6 million of this GF/Mental Health funding with new alcohol tax revenues. 2002-06-24 House Journal Page 4024 Community Mental Health Grants Psychiatric Emergency Services GF/Mental Health Funding was reduced by $195,800, Services to the Chronically Mentally Ill by $369,700, Designated Evaluation and Treatment by $34,400 and Services to Seriously Emotionally Disturbed Youth by $186,600 relative to the Governor's amended budget request. These reductions reflect increased use of Medicaid and direct federal grants to providers for the provision of these services. Institutions and Administration The Legislature denied an increment of $425,600 to the Mental Health/Developmental Disabilities Administration. The Legislature approved an increment of $1,843,600 GF/Mental Health to the Alaska Psychiatric Institute to replace lost federal funding this was $7,300 less than requested by the Governor. Mental Health Trust Boards The Legislature funded the Mental Health Trust Boards at the level 2.3% ($34,300) below that requested by the Governor. We believe the board should use MHTAAR funds for its activities as those funds become available. Program Changes - Capital Alaska Psychiatric Institute Stop - Gap Repairs The stop gap repairs for API were reduced in consultation with the Trust as a result of the passage of HB 76 in 2001 which will replace the current facility. Deferred Maintenance of Rural Facilities for Substance Abuse or Substance Abuse/Mental Health Programs The GF/Mental Health appropriation was reduced from $400,000 to $200,000. Rural Facility Renovation and Deferred Maintenance The GF/Mental Health appropriation was reduced from $400,000 to $200,000. 2002-06-24 House Journal Page 4025 Department of Health and Social Services As was done for FY 02, the grants for public health services, alcohol and drug abuse services, developmental disability services, mental health services, and community health were moved to a single appropriation rather than designated grants in separate appropriations. The legislature believes that this will allow better management of the grants and open the opportunity for innovative proposals. The amount of grant funding available for these services remains at the level requested by the governor. Enclosed is a copy of component summaries provided by the Legislative Finance Division identifying each of the referenced adjustments by agency, budget request unit and component.
