HB 153 ALIENS AND ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
ELMER LINDSTROM , Special Assistant to the Commissioner of the
Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS), stated the
Department supports HB 153.
CHAIRMAN TAYLOR explained HB 153 brings Alaska into compliance with
federal law and provides for continued assistance payments to those
people who arrived here prior to the federal cutoff date. The only
people who will be deprived by HB 153 are those people who arrive
in the United States as aliens after the date set by Congress.
SENATOR ELLIS arrived.
MR. LINDSTROM agreed with Chairman Taylor.
There being no further testimony, SENATOR PEARCE moved CSHB
153(FIN) from committee with individual recommendations. There
being no objection, the motion carried.
CHAIRMAN TAYLOR thanked Mr. Lindstrom for his sterling testimony
and candid answers to the committee's questions.
