HOUSE BILL NO. 147 "An Act setting a monthly salary for the executive secretary of the Board of Public Accountancy." 4:07:14 PM JENNIFER SENETTE, STAFF, REPRESENTATIVE KURT OLSON, SPONSOR, described the legislation as straightforward. She referred to an accounting bill passed unanimously by the legislature the prior session, which had created the position of the executive secretary of the Board of Public Accountancy. The creation of the position was widely supported in the legislature and throughout the state because of the recognition that the all-volunteer Board of Public Accountancy was understaffed and struggling to fulfill its mission. There was broad support for the board's mission of protecting the public interest; the board had jurisdiction over all certified public accountants (CPAs) practicing in the state and could address any violation of its standards. Ms. Senette continued that after the position was created by the legislation, the Department of Administration (DOA) came out as usual with its draft salary determination; the position was placed at a Range 19. The sponsor did not feel that a Range 19 would attract a qualified candidate to the position, and would leave the board in the position of lacking an administrator with the desired expertise to fulfill the board's mission. Ms. Senette added that the fiscal note in the previous bill had called for the position to be at a Range 23; CPAs around the state, along with the state Board of Public Accountancy and the Alaska Society of CPAs, had supported the position at Range 23. She stressed that it was particularly important that the Alaska Society of CPAs supported the range level, because that organization represented Alaska CPAs, and the salary would come out of their licensing fees. She underlined that the state would not pay for the position's salary. Ms. Senette detailed that Range 19 paid approximately $58,000 per year. She noted that a recent graduate in the field without experience could easily make $60,000. On the other hand, a Range 23 began at $77,000. She described the current bill as a legislative fix for the discrepancy between pay ranges. She stressed that there was no opposition and that DOA had signaled its willingness to implement the salary range that the legislature deemed appropriate. 4:11:16 PM Representative Wilson verified that the cost to the state was nothing and that the money would come out of CPA fees. Ms. Senette replied in the affirmative. DON RULIEN, CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT and MEMBER, LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE, ALASKA SOCIETY OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS, ANCHORAGE (via teleconference), spoke in support of the legislation. He informed the committee that he had been on the board of directors for many years; the committee believed it was essential that the pay scale for the position be at Range 23 so that the board could hire a person with the appropriate experience and expertise. Mr. Rulien noted that the board had struggled with past executive administrators due to their lack of expertise in general accounting matters as well as in more technical matters. Past executive directors were shared with other boards, which put the Board of Public Accountancy at risk for missing important issues. He pointed out that the bill had a zero fiscal note and that the CPAs would fully fund the position out of licensing fees they paid to the state. 4:14:22 PM Vice-chair Fairclough CLOSED public testimony. Representative Gara commented that referring to a Range 19 position as "entry level" had been upsetting to some legislative staffers, whom he believed felt the same way. Representative Wilson MOVED to report HB 147 out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal note. There being NO OBJECTION, it was so ordered. HB 147 was REPORTED out of Committee with a "do pass" recommendation and with previously published fiscal note: FN 1 (CED). 4:16:23 PM AT EASE 4:18:02 PM RECONVENED
