III, sec. 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a bill decreasing the fee for a business license to the level in place before the increase was enacted in 2003. Current law imposes a fee of $100.00 for each new business license, except that the fee is $50.00 if the business is a sole proprietorship, 2007-01-26 Senate Journal Page 0103 owned by a sole proprietor, who is 65 years of age or older.

The bill is necessary to show that Alaska is open and ready to attract and retain business in this state. I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure. Sincerely, /s/ Sarah Palin Governor
