With the deepest respect for the religious beliefs of all Alaskans, I offer the following benediction: Sovereign of the universe, who created all in love, teach us to love all that is good and beautiful in this world. Teach us to honor the dignity of difference, recognizing that one who is not in our image is nonetheless in your image; never forgetting that people not like us, are still people – like us. At this portentous moment in history, bless us that we may be a blessing to others. Guide these legislators and indeed, all Alaskans, to honor you by honoring one another, so that by 2020-02-05 House Journal Page 1528 reaching out in love, we may turn enemies into friends, and become your family on earth, as you are our parent in heaven. Beloved God, bless the members of this legislative body, the House of Representatives of the great State of Alaska, and guide their deliberations, that they may govern this great state with wisdom and justice, with grace and compassion, and in so doing bring honor to your name, and your blessing to Alaska and to all humankind.

HB 234 HOUSE BILL NO. 234 by the House Rules Committee by request of the Governor, entitled: "An Act making supplemental appropriations, reappropriations, and other appropriations; amending appropriations; capitalizing funds; making appropriations under art. 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. The Governor's transmittal letter dated February 3 follows: "Dear Speaker Edgmon: Under the authority of Article III, Section 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a bill relating to supplemental appropriations for the State's operating and capital budgets for Fiscal Year (FY) 2020. This budget totals $262.6 million Unrestricted General Funds (UGF), $12.8 million Designated General Funds (DGF), $6.6 million Other State Funds, and $204.7 million Federal Funds. This bill provides funding to cover the State's share of the emergency response activities associated with wildfires; extreme weather condition road repairs, and earthquake repairs; time sensitive Medicaid supplemental funding; funding for critical public safety and health program costs; and funding for additional Alaska Marine Highway System operations and vessel maintenance expenses. Further, this bill repeals $4.4 million in UGF tied to old capital projects that have available balances according to each agency's capital appropriation status report. 2020-02-05 House Journal Page 1540 I look forward to working with you to ensure timely passage of this critical funding. Sincerely, /s/ Mike Dunleavy Governor" HB 235 HOUSE BILL NO. 235 by Representative Wool, entitled: "An Act relating to allocations of funding for the Alaska Workforce Investment Board; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Labor & Commerce and Finance Committees. HB 236 HOUSE BILL NO. 236 by Representatives Story and Drummond, entitled: "An Act relating to education; increasing the base student allocation; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Education and Finance Committees. HB 237 HOUSE BILL NO. 237 by Representatives Story and Drummond, entitled: "An Act making special appropriations from the general fund for early literacy programs in public schools; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Education and Finance Committees. 2020-02-05 House Journal Page 1541 HB 238 HOUSE BILL NO. 238 by the House Rules Committee by request of the Governor, entitled: "An Act relating to the licensure of nursing professionals; relating to a multistate nurse licensure compact; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Health & Social Services, Labor & Commerce, and Finance Committees. The following fiscal note(s) apply: 1. Zero, Dept. of Health & Social Services 2. Indeterminate, Dept. of Public Safety 3. Fiscal, Dept. of Commerce, Community, & Economic Development The Governor's transmittal letter dated February 4 follows: "Dear Speaker Edgmon: Under the authority of Article III, Section 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a bill relating to a multistate nurse licensure compact. This bill would allow Alaska to adopt the Multistate Nurse Licensure Compact, which would strengthen the state's healthcare delivery system by reducing barriers to licensure for registered and licensed practical nurses and by increasing opportunities for nurses from other states to practice in the state. The Multistate Nurse Licensure Compact would allow registered and practical nurses in any of the almost three dozen participating states to practice in Alaska without having to go through a fairly duplicative and sometimes time-consuming licensing process. This bill would not affect certified nurse aides (CNAs), advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), or anyone else who wishes to practice under an Alaska-only nursing license. For those practitioners, this bill preserves the availability of temporary licenses and licensure by credentials. 2020-02-05 House Journal Page 1542 This bill would codify the Nurse Licensure Compact as a new Chapter, AS 08.69. Conforming changes to the existing nursing statute AS 08.68 would be made to accommodate the compact's requirements. The compact's requirements for multistate licensure are rigorous, exceeding those in our present statute and supporting high quality care for all Alaskans. The compact would establish a commission with rulemaking, enforcement, and financial assessment provisions. Alaska would appoint one person to be the compact administrator within the state. This bill is a win-win, keeping our present licensure options for CNAs, APRNs, and Alaska-only licensees, while opening Alaska's diverse communities to multistate licensed RNs and LPNs. I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure. Sincerely, /s/ Mike Dunleavy Governor" HB 239 HOUSE BILL NO. 239 by Representative Thompson, entitled: "An Act establishing a state lottery; providing for participation in multi-state lotteries; establishing the Alaska State Lottery Board in the Department of Revenue; relating to confidentiality of information regarding lottery winners; requiring background investigations by the Department of Public Safety; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the State Affairs and Finance Committees.
