HB 241-NONRESIDENT SURCHARGE COMMERCIAL FISHING 10:05:41 AM CHAIR STUTES announced that the first order of business would be HOUSE BILL NO. 241 "An Act relating to the nonresident surcharge for commercial fishing permits." 10:06:16 AM REPRESENTATIVE MILLETT, prime sponsor of HB 241, explained that the intent is to true-up residency requirements for commercial fishing permits by utilizing the permanent fund dividend (PFD) residency requirements. She reported that at least 2,289 commercial fishing permit holders pay a lower Alaska resident fee but do not meet the residency requirements to be issued a PFD. The non-resident fishermen should be paying the appropriate fee, she stressed. Alaska's statutes hold a variety of residency requirements for different applications, but the PFD stipulations are perhaps the most tried, true, and enforceable. 10:10:13 AM GRACE ABBOTT, Staff, Representative Charisse Millett, Alaska State Legislature, provided the sectional analysis, paraphrasing from a prepared statement, which read as follows: Section One: Defines a "non-resident" as an individual who is not eligible to receive a permanent fund dividend, and that residency may be proved by showing eligibility for a permanent fund dividend. Section Two: Amends the duties of the Department of Revenue to include confirming for the Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission that an individual is eligible to receive a permanent fund dividend. 10:11:44 AM CHAIR STUTES asked how the bill addresses residents who do not qualify for a PFD, such as a felons or anyone whose dividend is subject to garnishment. MS. ABBOTT responded that the bill would require amending to include exceptions for residents that qualify for, but cannot benefit from, receipt of a PFD. 10:12:37 AM REPRESENTATIVE HERRON acknowledged that some residents may have personal reasons and choose not to apply for a PFD, which should also be addressed. REPRESENTATIVE MILLETT indicated that other avenues are being explored for proving residency, which may be presented in the form of an amendment will include an exceptions clause. MS. ABBOTT pointed out that whether or not a person chooses to receive a PFD doesn't affect their eligibility. [HB 241 was held over.]
