Senator Hoffman moved and asked unanimous consent that the prayer be spread. Without objection, it was so ordered. Almighty God, Creator of all things great and small. I praise Your glorious and powerful Name and encourage others to do the same. I thank You today that, although Eternity and Omnipotence are among Your attributes, You have revealed Yourself to us as Our Loving Heavenly Father. As such, You have urged us to come boldly to You with our requests and with our thanks. Help us now to focus on thanks. 2001-01-08 Senate Journal Page 0002 Father, I thank You for the reminder that "every good gift and every perfect gift comes from above, from the Father" who is constant in love and grace. Thanks for the blessings we enjoy as Americans and Alaskans. Our history reveals not only the temporal blessings of abundant natural resources and unsurpassed natural beauty, but the record of those whose dedicated service has sought to improve the quality of life for our children and our families. And now, these senators are convened to add to that record of service to our people. These men and women have zealously sought and won the support of the voters in their respective districts. Many groups have contributed much money and time to their election efforts. Now they face the task of balancing their desire to reward their supporters with the demand to do what is best for all Alaskans. For these senators we pray. Purify their motives, clarify their purposes, and amplify their wisdom. We request that You lead the leadership of this body. May they daily seek the "wisdom which is from above which is first pure then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy". (James 3:17) And may they find wisdom! And may we all. Amen.

SB 17 SENATE BILL NO. 17 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: "An Act amending the application deadline, and the standards applicable to determining whether a proposed new investment constitutes a qualified project, for purposes of the Alaska Stranded Gas Development Act; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Transportation, Resources and Finance Committees. The following fiscal information was published today: Fiscal Note No. 1, zero, Department of Natural Resources. Governor's transmittal letter dated January 8: Dear President Halford: Alaska must ensure that our fiscal regime is an incentive to the commercialization of our natural gas, not an impediment. To provide the State with the appropriate tools to achieve this goal I am transmitting this bill to amend the Alaska Stranded Gas Development Act to allow any potentially successful natural gas project to take advantage of the provisions of that Act. The Alaska Stranded Gas Development Act (Act) allows the commissioner of the Department of Revenue to negotiate a contract for payments in lieu of taxes for a certain type of project that will 2001-01-08 Senate Journal Page 0017 develop the enormous natural gas resources of Alaska's North Slope. The potential benefits of the current program are limited to liquefied natural gas ("LNG") projects. Developments in the international natural gas marketplace - particularly the recent energy price increases in North America - suggest that other projects may be viable in advance of the type of LNG project the Act was initially designed to support. This bill would expand the scope of the Act to cover other forms of gas development, such as a natural gas pipeline through Canada along the Alaska Highway or an in-state gas-to-liquids facility. Although this Act, with the amendments I propose, grants certain authorities to executive agencies, any proposed changes to tax policy would require legislative ratification. The only other change proposed by this bill is to extend the application deadline for this program for a limited time. I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor SB 18 SENATE BILL NO. 18 BY SENATOR HALFORD, entitled: "An Act relating to certain passenger vessels operating in the marine waters of the state." was read the first time and referred to the Resources and Finance Committees. Introduction of Executive Orders EO 102 EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 102 2001-01-08 Senate Journal Page 0018 Transferring the office of long term care ombudsman from the Alaska Commission on Aging in the Department of Administration to the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority in the Department of Revenue. was referred to the Health, Education and Social Services Committee. The following fiscal information was published today: Fiscal Note No. 1, Department of Administration. Fiscal Note No. 2, Department of Revenue. Governor's transmittal letter dated January 8: Dear President Halford : The long term care ombudsman serves an important protection and advocacy function for Alaska's seniors, their families and friends by investigating possible violations of a resident's rights and safety in a long-term care setting, such as a nursing home or assisted living facility. The placement of the office under the Department of Administration, which administers the very programs the ombudsman investigates, can carry the appearance of a conflict of interest. While I believe the office and the Administration have the integrity to overcome any practical conflict, I am introducing this Executive Order to transfer the ombudsman office out of the Department of Administration to avoid any future inference of conflict. This Executive Order transfers the office of the long term care ombudsman from the Alaska Commission on Aging in the Department of Administration to the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority (AMHTA) in the Department of Revenue. The federal Older Americans Act requires states to provide a long term care ombudsman function as a condition of receiving other federal money for nutrition, transportation, and support services for seniors. The state unit on aging may contract out this function to another entity, as this Executive Order proposes. 2001-01-08 Senate Journal Page 0019 The Alaska Commission on Aging requested this action and advised the ombudsman be located in an agency that has no direct involvement with long term care services. While the AMHTA does not actually administer long term care programs, approximately 70 percent of the recipients of long term care in Alaska are also beneficiaries of the AMHTA. Moreover, AMHTA's duties include providing redress and administrative adjudication procedures for its beneficiaries, placing it on similar ground to the work of the long term care ombudsman. In the interest of continuing a strong system of quality long term care services for Alaskans, I urge your support of this Executive Order. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor Unfinished Business President Halford appointed Senator Torgerson and Senator Hoffman to serve as members of the Select Committee on Legislative Ethics.
