CSHB 287(FIN)-EXEMPT ENTRY PERMITS FROM CREDITOR CLAIMS
CHAIRMAN TORGERSON announced CSHB 287(FIN) to be up for
consideration.
REPRESENTATIVE DREW SCALZI, sponsor of HB 287, explained this
very simple bill exempts limited entry permits from claims of
creditors, except the Commercial Fisheries and Agriculture Bank
(CFAB) and the Child Support Enforcement Division (CSED). This
bill will give added protection to the state's position that it
is in the best interest of the state that permits be non-lienable
to other entities so the state can retain its fishing harvest
privileges.
CHAIRMAN TORGERSON asked if it will stop the IRS from taking
permits.
REPRESENTATIVE SCALZI replied yes.
MS. MARY MCDOWELL, Commissioner, Commercial Fisheries Entry
Commission (CFEC), indicated support of the bill.
CHAIRMAN TORGERSON announced an at-ease until members could
return.
CSHB 287(FIN)-EXEMPT ENTRY PERMITS FROM CREDITOR CLAIMS
CHAIRMAN TORGERSON announced CSHB 287(FIN) to be back before the
committee.
MS. SUE ASPELUND said that the Cordova District Fishermen United
does not support the House Finance CS to HB 287 and urged members
to consider reinstating the CS that came out of the House
Fisheries committee. She surmised, "If the intent of the
legislation really is to protect fishermen from the claims of
creditors, it seems foolhardy to support the gutted version that
came out of House Finance."
SENATOR WILKEN moved to pass CSHB 287(FIN) from committee with
individual recommendations and attached fiscal notes. There were
no objections and it was so ordered.
