Representatives Colver, Hawker, Kreiss-Tomkins, and Pruitt were absent and their presence was noted later. The invocation was offered by the Chaplain, Representative Herron. Representative Wilson moved and asked unanimous consent that the invocation be spread on the journal. There being no objection, it was so ordered. This invocation is in memory of the late Representative Rick Urion. I would like to share a prayer story that he once told me. Just like today, guests were seated in the galleries to watch the proceedings. Later, Rick overheard one of those guests in the hallway asking another guest, "Did the chaplain pray for the Representatives?" "No" was the answer. "The chaplain looked at the Representatives and then he prayed for Alaska." With deepest respect for the religious beliefs of all Alaskans, I offer the following prayer. Although we smile and make no fuss, No one misses Rick more than us, And when old times we oft recall, That's when we miss him most of all. Amen. 2015-04-16 House Journal Page 0970 The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Drummond.

HB 199 HOUSE BILL NO. 199 by Representatives DRUMMOND and Kawasaki, entitled: "An Act relating to flame retardants and to the manufacture, distribution, and sale of products containing flame retardants; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Labor & Commerce and Finance Committees. HB 200 HOUSE BILL NO. 200 by the House Rules Committee by request of the Governor, entitled: "An Act establishing procedures related to a petition for adoption of a child in state custody; adding a definition of 'proxy for a formal petition'; amending Rule 6(a), Alaska Adoption Rules; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Health & Social Services and Judiciary Committees. The following fiscal note(s) apply: 1. Zero, Dept. of Health & Social Services The Governor's transmittal letter dated April 15, 2015, follows: 2015-04-16 House Journal Page 0975 "Dear Speaker Chenault: Under the authority of Article III, Section 18 of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a bill that would allow adoption of a child in State custody as a child in need of aid to be filed and heard as a child-in-need-of-aid proceeding. Additionally, the bill would allow for more flexibility in the form of the petition for adoption. Under current law, a person seeking to adopt a child who is in the custody of the Department of Health and Social Services (Department) must file a formal petition for adoption under AS 25.23.080 and have the adoption hearing heard in a probate proceeding separate from the child-in-need-of-aid proceeding under AS 47.10, despite the unique nature of child-in-need-of-aid cases. The bill would ensure that proceedings for the adoption of a child adjudicated to be in need of aid to be filed and heard in the existing child-in-need-of-aid proceeding. This would more fully protect the child, and those wishing to adopt the child and would save resources by keeping the child-in-need-of-aid proceeding and the adoption as one court matter. Second, the bill would allow filing of a proxy for a formal petition to better address the needs of Native and non-Native families by setting out in statute alternatives to formal petitions to adopt currently required by State law. The bill would allow use of a proxy for a formal petition to adopt; the proxy could be filed by a child's relative, tribal member, or other Indian family. A tribal member or relative also could make the request to the Department by telephone, mail, facsimile, electronic mail, or in person. Last, a proxy for a formal petition could be made by the child's tribe or by a tribe in which the child would be eligible to be enrolled. The Department also would have authority to develop regulations to address other instances where a proxy for a formal petition to adopt should be allowed. These changes would benefit our most vulnerable children by assuring that adoption proceedings for children in need of aid are conducted in the manner most beneficial to Alaska's children and their families. 2015-04-16 House Journal Page 0976 I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure.
