CHAIR COGHILL objected and asked if there were questions about
the amendment that Mr. Shilling described during the previous
hearing. Finding no questions, he removed his objection and
Amendment 1 was adopted.
1:38:54 PM
SENATOR COSTELLO commented that this bill and several others
going through the process that address transparency and rising
health care costs are a good start to help the consumer become
better informed.

SENATOR COSTELLO moved to report the Senate CS for CSHB 123,

HB 336-SUPPORTIVE DECISION-MAKING AGREEMENTS
1:44:01 PM
CHAIR COGHILL announced the consideration of HB 336. He
solicited public testimony.
1:45:06 PM
JAYNE ANDREEN, Volunteer Advocate, AARP, Juneau, Alaska, stated
support for HB 336. She advised that AARP in Alaska has been an
active partner in the Working Interdisciplinary Networks of
Guardianship Stakeholders (WINGS) Project, looking for
alternatives to the extreme guardianship that exists in Alaska.
Thus, AARP has had input in HB 336 and supports the way it is
drafted.
She explained that supported decision-making has long been
important in the disabilities community and as the population
ages it's clear that it is an important tool to keep older
Alaskans who have been diagnosed with dementia engaged and
surrounded with people they trust to help make decisions. She
shared a personal experience of a family member age 65 who was
recently diagnosed with frontal lobe dementia. His family is
working with the doctor to set up an informal assisted decision-
making team.
MS. ANDREEN reiterated support for HB 336.
CHAIR COGHILL shared his experience as power of attorney for his
elderly father.
1:47:43 PM
ART DELAUNE, Member, Governor's Council on Disabilities and
Special Education, Fairbanks, Alaska, stated that he supports HB
336 because it adds the option of supportive decision-making
agreements to guardianships in Alaska. They are written by a set
process with supporters who are chosen by the person who wants
the support. These agreements provide specific ways that
supporters will help with decisions and will have safeguards to
help the wellbeing and independence of adults with disabilities.
It allows an individual to take control of their life, develop
decision-making skills, and live independently. It builds on the
planning process often used in special education programs and
can be used to transition youth educational development beyond
the age of 22.
MR. DELAUNE shared that he is the guardian for his 24-year-old
son who experiences both a developmental disability and a mental
health disability. The process of discussing decisions and
coming to agreement before a decision is made has always worked.
Supportive decision-making will give his son control over his
life that is unavailable under a guardianship. The guardianship
system in Alaska has more than three times the workload as the
national average. Supportive decision-making would help relieve
some of the strain on this system and reduce costs to the state.
Passing HB 336 will allow individuals with disabilities to have
a voice in directing their lives. Research shows that people who
make decisions about their lives are more involved in the
community and more likely to be satisfied with their lives. He
encouraged passage of HB 336.
1:51:09 PM
CHAIR COGHILL closed public testimony on HB 336.
1:51:55 PM
SENATOR COSTELLO moved to report CSHB 336 from committee with
individual recommendations and attached fiscal note(s).
CHAIR COGHILL found no objection and CSHB 336(JUD) AM moved from
the Senate Judiciary Standing Committee.

HB 44-LEGISLATIVE ETHICS: VOTING & CONFLICTS
1:53:35 PM
CHAIR COGHILL announced the consideration of HB 44. [SCS CSSSHB
44(STA), version N, was before the committee.]
1:54:08 PM
At ease
1:57:07 PM
CHAIR COGHILL reconvened the meeting.
1:57:22 PM
SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI asked the sponsor if he supported the
changes in the State Affairs committee substitute (CS).
1:57:36 PM
REPRESENTATIVE JASON GRENN, Alaska State Legislature, Juneau,
Alaska, sponsor of HB 44, said yes.
SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI asked if there are differences between the
bill and the initiative.
REPRESENTATIVE GRENN replied they are substantially similar.
CHAIR COGHILL advised that legislative legal said the only
difference is that the initiative says that when a lobbyist pays
for a legislator's meal, it must be a de minimis amount and the
bill specifies a $15 amount. That is the amount in current
statute and the thought was that these pass the sameness test.
SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI asked if passing HB 44 would remove the
initiative from the ballot.
REPRESENTATIVE GRENN said if the bill is signed into law, the
Division of Elections will determine whether it is substantially
similar to the initiative. If so, the initiative would be
removed from the ballot. He noted that he has testified that
they seem to be mirror images.
1:59:44 PM
SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI expressed concern that the legislature
would be able to change the bill next year whereas a citizen's
initiative can't be changed for two years.
CHAIR COGHILL offered his experience that it's difficult to
change things back whether it's a bill or initiative.
SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI cited minimum wage as an instance where
that happened.
2:00:30 PM
SENATOR COSTELLO offered her understanding that this was brought
forward because two legislators who work for oil companies
benefitted from the way they voted on an oil tax bill. The voter
initiative subsequently came through and the voters in those two
districts overwhelmingly supported the way that their elected
officials had voted. If there had been a provision on the books
that prohibited those citizen legislators from voting on the
measure, 60,000 Alaskan voters would not have had a voice, she
said.
She asked for assurance that in passing HB 44, the members of
this citizen legislature would not be prevented from voting on
measures, they just have to state they have a potential
conflict.
REPRESENTATIVE GRENN said HB 44 was not intended to shine a
light on previous votes or legislation. As a citizen running for
election he thought it was important to do anything that would
build trust and transparency with the voters. When HB 44 was
originally drafted, the Senators in the scenario she described
would not have been precluded from voting based on their
employment. However, the bill was changed in the committee
process. It is more restrictive on who rises to declare a
conflict, but the Uniform Rule that allows a lone objection to
compel the person to vote was not changed. He said he believes
the bill allows for a citizen legislature but clarifies the
statute related to stating a conflict. It is consistent with
many other states.
