The following fiscal information was published today: Fiscal Note No. 1, Office of the Governor Governor's transmittal letter dated May 17: Dear President Halford: Today I am presenting the subsistence joint resolution that I introduced in February during the regular session. That joint resolution, HJR 41, received a hearing in the House Resources Committee but did not progress any further. The Senate version, SJR 36, received no hearings. That is unfortunate because the citizens of Alaska clearly want to vote on this issue. Over 70 percent of the Anchorage voters who voted in a municipal election this spring favored putting a constitutional amendment concerning subsistence on the ballot. Business leaders have testified that the state's inability to resolve this issue will hinder resource development. Religious leaders have urged that we take this action in order to bridge the growing urban-rural divide in Alaska. Native leaders say that this may be the last time that Alaska Natives will support a return to state management of our fish and game. Nevertheless, some legislators have turned a deaf ear to those voices. While those legislators have ignored their constituents, the federal government has continued to strengthen its grip on subsistence management. That management is diverging more and more from the way state boards deal with our fish and game. Dual management confuses the public, upsets historic patterns of allocation, and will ultimately jeopardize the health of our resources. 2002-05-17 Senate Journal Page 3657 Time is drawing short for Alaskans to solve this problem. I urge you to work with me to unify our state and to regain our right to manage all uses of Alaska's resources. Sincerely /s/ Tony Knowles Governor Introduction and Reference of Senate Bills SB 2001 SENATE BILL NO. 2001 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST, entitled: "An Act changing the name of the Alaska Pioneers' Home to the Alaska Pioneers' and Veterans' Home and of the Alaska Pioneers' Homes Advisory Board to the Alaska Pioneers' and Veterans' Home Advisory Board; relating to housing and services for veterans; relating to the advisory board for the home; making other amendments to the statutes relating to the home; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Finance Committee.

IX, sec. 17(c), Constitution of the State of Alaska, from the constitutional budget reserve fund; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Finance Committee. SB 2008 SENATE BILL NO. 2008 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: "An Act changing the name of the Alaska Pioneers' Home to the Alaska Pioneers' and Veterans' Home and of the Alaska Pioneers' Homes Advisory Board to the Alaska Pioneers' and Veterans' Home Advisory Board; relating to housing and services for veterans; relating to the advisory board for the home; making other amendments to the statutes relating to the home; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Finance Committee. The following fiscal information was published today: Fiscal Note No. 1, Department of Administration Governor's transmittal letter dated May 17: 2002-05-17 Senate Journal Page 3660 Dear President Halford: I am transmitting this bill to this special session changing the name of the Alaska Pioneers' Home to the Alaska Pioneers' and Veterans' Home and reserving a certain number of beds in the homes for eligible veterans. In 1992, the Legislature authorized the Department of Administration to apply for federal assistance to establish and operate state veterans' home facilities to provide domiciliary care. In 1998, that statute was amended to include the provision of nursing home care with related medical services for veterans in those facilities. Financing for such facilities has not been available. However, the Pioneers' Home has vacant beds that could be used to provide the long-term care for veterans that the 1992 and 1998 laws contemplated. Accordingly, I am proposing that the law be changed so that the Pioneers' Home can provide this service. The bill would provide that a certain number of beds be reserved in the home for veterans who meet the other eligibility requirements for admission, including being at least 65 years old, being an Alaska resident for at least one year, and needing the services that the home provides. The number of beds to be reserved for veterans would be determined by the department by regulation. The bill defines "veteran" as anyone who has 181 days or more of active service in the armed services of the United States, including the Alaska National Guard or the Alaska Territorial Guard. In addition, the bill would make two changes in the statutes imposing residency requirements for admission into the home. First, the bill recognizes in statute a court decision concerning the residency requirement for the home. The 15-year requirement for admission was ruled unconstitutional by the Alaska courts in the early 1990s; the home has been using a one-year requirement since then under Department of Law advice that that is the longest requirement that could withstand a constitutional challenge. Thus, this bill would simply amend the relevant statute to bring it in line with constitutional requirements and current practice. The bill also would repeal a statute, closely tied to the 15-year residency requirement, that provides that an applicant does not have to meet the 15-year requirement if the 2002-05-17 Senate Journal Page 3661 applicant has 30 years' total residency in Alaska. Given the elimination of the 15-year requirement, the statute proposed for repeal would no longer be relevant. Moreover, even though there is no court decision on point, the Department of Law has advised that this 30-year residency statute also would likely be invalidated if it were challenged. The bill amends the statutes regarding the Alaska Pioneers' Homes Advisory Board to reflect the new name of the home and to provide that at least two of the seven members appointed by the governor must be veterans. A second, separate amendment to the membership provision would replace one of those two veterans with the chair of the Alaska Veterans Advisory Council, contingent on enactment into law of a bill I am introducing to establish that council. The bill makes or provides for conforming changes to other statutes and to the Alaska Administrative Code. This important legislation was presented during the regular session, but did not pass. I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure during the special session. It is urgent to our veterans that the legislation pass now in special session. Our veterans have served our state well. It is now our time to recognize these efforts and to provide these essential services. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor SB 2009 SENATE BILL NO. 2009 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: "An Act establishing the Alaska Veterans Advisory Council; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Finance Committee. The following fiscal information was published today: Fiscal Note No. 1, Department of Military and Veterans Affairs 2002-05-17 Senate Journal Page 3662 Governor's transmittal letter dated May 17: Dear President Halford: I am transmitting this bill to the special session establishing the Alaska Veterans Advisory Council. The council initially was established by Administrative Order No. 164, dated July 3, 1996. This bill would establish the council in statute as an entity within the Department of Military and Veterans' Affairs (DMVA). As provided in Administrative Order No. 164 and under this bill, the purpose of the council is to advise the DMVA on ways to better address the needs and concerns of Alaska's veterans, their dependents, and their survivors. The council's duties include making recommendations concerning veterans' priority service needs, developing public and private partnerships to meet those needs, and providing coordination of information regarding veterans' benefits and services around the state. This bill maintains the present 20-member structure and responsibilities of the council. The council's membership would continue to include one or more persons affiliated with a veterans organization, one or more persons from a state agency that manages programs affecting veterans, and one or more members of the general public familiar with veterans' issues. Council members would continue to serve without compensation other than per diem and travel expenses. While this bill was introduced during the regular session, the House failed to act on this important legislation. I urge your prompt and favorable action now on this measure. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor 2002-05-17 Senate Journal Page 3663 SB 2010 SENATE BILL NO. 2010 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: "An Act setting timelines for issuance of final orders by the Regulatory Commission of Alaska, amending the authority of the commission to enter compromise settlement orders, and extending the commission's termination date to June 30, 2006; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Judiciary Committee. The following fiscal information was published today: Fiscal Note No. 1, Department of Community and Economic Development Governor's transmittal letter dated May 17: Dear President Halford: I am transmitting this bill to the special session extending the "sunset" date of the Regulatory Commission of Alaska for four years, to June 30, 2006. The commission began regulating utilities and pipelines in the state on July 1, 1999 as a replacement for the Alaska Public Utilities Commission. Utility regulation has been a function of state government since statehood. The commission's mission to protect the public interest remains important today. I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure during the special session.
