With the deepest respect for the religious beliefs of all Alaskans, I offer the following prayer. In the rising of the sun and in its going down, we remember them. In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter, we remember them. In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring, we remember them. In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer, we remember them. In the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn, we remember them. In the beginning of the year and when it ends, we remember 2015-04-17 House Journal Page 0998 them. When we are weary and in need of strength, we remember them. When we are lost and sick at heart, we remember them. When we have joys we yearn to share, we remember them. So long as we live, they, too, shall live, for they are now a part of us, as we remember them. Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Edgmon.

(b) The legislature finds that (1) under the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act of 2008, a state tribunal may refuse to recognize and enforce a foreign support order on its own motion or, if challenged by a party, if the order is "manifestly incompatible with public policy, including the failure of the issuing tribunal to observe minimum standards of due process, which include notice and an opportunity to be heard"; (2) implementation of the treaty through state law is more consistent with existing family law, as well as more efficient and 2015-04-17 House Journal Page 1014 effective, than implementation of the treaty through a federal law that would govern a segregated portion of international child support cases; (3) nothing in the treaty or the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act of 2008 amends the privacy and security requirements that apply to federal and state child support programs or expands access to databases beyond what already exists; (4) under the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act of 2008, state child support agencies will no longer be obliged to provide child support services to absolutely anyone who applies from any other country, as is required under current law; (5) the treaty does not change existing Uniform Interstate Family Support Act provisions or United States law regarding personal jurisdiction, due process protections of notice and an opportunity for a hearing, and application of United States law concerning enforcement of child support orders. (c) In order to protect the safety of the people of Alaska, the legislature requests that the Office of the Governor or its designee certify to the legislature each year that no Tier 3 country, as identified in the most recent United States Department of State Trafficking In Persons Report, has become a member of the treaty with states and foreign states as identified in this Act. If the commissioner finds that a Tier 3 country has become a member of the treaty, it is the legislature's intent that the State of Alaska reconsider its adoption of the law that implements the treaty."
