The prayer was offered by the Chaplain, Mary Lou Miller of the Juneau Baha'i Assembly. Senator Hoffman moved and asked unanimous consent that the prayer be spread. Without objection, it was so ordered. This Meeting is Blessed Praise be to God! That ye are gathered in one assembly like unto the stars of the Pleiades, are illumined with the light of the knowledge of God and through the outpouring of the cloud of the love of God, ye are the fresh flowers of the meadow and plain; ye are intimate and familiar with infinite unity and love. Therefore, this meeting is blessed. But if it is firmly established and become constant, it will bring forth great results and most weighty developments will be attained. Consequently, persevere ye in renewing your meetings and display utmost magnanimity in firmness and steadfastness. When the root of the tree of the garden is well established and its protection is safeguarded, it will bring forth luscious fruits. 2001-02-26 Senate Journal Page 0498 Likewise, when the regiment of an army and the individuals of a cohort are united and related with ease, untold triumphs will be acquired. But if they come together one day and disperse another day, no fruits will be produced. Therefore, as ye have prepared an army of heaven and become the host of life, ye must continue to hold meetings, have spiritual communications, be firm in resolution, steadfast in purpose and be constant and persevering so that ye may win celestial conquests. (Abdu'l-Baha; Baha'i World Faith, Page 403) Senator Hoffman led the Senate in the Pledge of Allegiance.

The following fiscal information was published today: Fiscal Note No. 1, zero, Department of Law Governor's transmittal letter dated February 22: Dear President Halford: This bill I transmit today would fill a gap in our statutory law by providing general authority for the civil prosecution of a person who makes a false claim for, or a misrepresentation regarding, money or property against the state or a municipality. The public needs some way of ensuring that persons who make demands on the public treasury by seeking to recover money or property from the state or a municipality are doing so in good faith. The most effective means of doing this is to provide clear consequences for unlawful conduct. This bill would allow for a civil penalty of up to three times the amount suffered as well as court costs and attorney fees from persons who make a misrepresentation or false claim against the state or a municipality. 2001-02-26 Senate Journal Page 0503 The bill would provide incentives to cooperate in the prosecution of a misrepresentation or false claim. Also, the bill would apply only to matters involving at least $500 and would not apply to unemployment, workers' compensation, state tax, public assistance, or temporary assistance claims, or to permanent fund dividend applications. These programs have specific authority elsewhere in statute providing for the prosecution of false claims. The bill requires the attorney general to investigate misrepresentations and false claims against the state and requires the prosecuting authority for a municipality to investigate misrepresentations and false claims against the municipality. It also provides procedures for circumstances in which both state and municipal money or property are involved and sets a limitation period of 10 years after which suits for misrepresentations and false claims are barred. Nearly all states and the federal government have false claims statutes. It is time that Alaska had similar authority to protect the public treasury from wrongful and fraudulent claims. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor SB 118 SENATE BILL NO. 118 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: "An Act relating to the issuance of certificates of participation to finance deferred maintenance and construction projects for certain public harbor facilities; giving notice of and approving the entry into, and the issuance of certificates of participation in, lease- financing agreements for those public harbor facility projects; repealing a provision relating to the financing of construction and renovation of facilities for certain ports and harbors; and providing for an effective date." 2001-02-26 Senate Journal Page 0504 was read the first time and referred to the Transportation, Judiciary, and Finance Committees. The following fiscal information was published today: Fiscal Note No. 1, Department of Revenue Governor's transmittal letter dated February 22: Dear President Halford: The Department of Transportation and Public Facilities has a long- term goal of bringing state-owned harbor facilities up to suitable standard and divesting ownership to the municipalities that operate them. Once deferred maintenance needs are addressed, the municipalities can support operation and maintenance of these valuable facilities through moorage and other fees. In recent years when transferring harbor ownership to the municipalities, the state has provided grant money as well to address deferred maintenance needs. This bill I transmit today would continue the policy, but leverages state general funds through issuance of certificates of participation. From the municipalities' perspective, this is essentially the same as a grant program. Certificates of participation (COPs) are an accepted form of financing that the state has used for many capital projects with high credit ratings -- just one notch below the state's general obligation rating. Pooling the group of harbor transfers in this bill into one bond sale also adds efficiency. The bill identifies the marine motor fuel tax as the likely source of appropriations to retire the certificates. The bill also authorizes payments for the harbor facilities projects to be made from any other valid revenue source, subject to appropriation. The bill repeals AS 29.60.700 passed by the Legislature last year, which required municipalities to pass general obligation bonds for harbor upgrades and transfers with the state reimbursing the cost of bond payments after a two-year delay. All of the affected municipalities found that plan to be burdensome and ultimately unworkable and city councils or local assemblies in seven of nine 2001-02-26 Senate Journal Page 0505 municipalities passed resolutions opposing the bonding provisions. The financing method in this bill is acceptable to the municipalities and will, therefore, achieve the state's goal of upgrading and transferring ownership of locally operated harbor facilities. I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor SB 119 SENATE BILL NO. 119 BY SENATORS WILKEN, Kelly, Therriault, Pearce, Leman, Torgerson, Halford, Lincoln, entitled: "An Act naming the Bill Wood Fairbanks International Airport; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Transportation Committee.
