SB 104 - PERMANENT FUND DIVIDEND FRAUD [Contains mention that portions of HB 127 and HB 273 have been incorporated into proposed House committee substitutes (HCSs) for SB 104.] 2:10:58 PM CHAIR McGUIRE announced that the first order of business would be CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 104(JUD), "An Act relating to the crimes of unsworn falsification in the first and second degrees and false information or report; requiring the establishment of a permanent fund dividend fraud investigation unit in the Department of Revenue; and providing for an effective date." [Before the committee was the proposed House committee substitute (HCS) for SB 104, Version 24-LS0519\X, Cook, 4/28/05, which was adopted as a work draft on 4/29/05; included in members packets was the proposed House committee substitute (HCS) for SB 104, Version 24-LS0519\S, Cook, 4/13/05.] CHAIR McGUIRE noted that public testimony on SB 104 had been closed at the bill's last hearing, and ascertained that no one else wished to provide further testimony. CHAIR McGUIRE referred to the new HCS, Version S, in members' packets, and relayed that although Version X, which was adopted as a work draft on 4/29/05, had incorporated provisions from HB 127 and HB 273, in light of conversations she'd had with other members and the sponsors, she decided that it would be imprudent to move such an all-encompassing HCS through the process without providing the public more opportunities for input, particularly given the concerns raised regarding practical issues and potential constitutional issues. 2:12:50 PM CHAIR McGUIRE explained that Version S incorporates into SB 104 the provisions of HB 127 regarding allowable absences for peace corps volunteers and members of U.S. Olympic Teams, as well as civil penalties commiserate with the criminal penalties currently in SB 104. REPRESENTATIVE COGHILL made a motion to adopt the proposed HCS for SB 104, Version 24-LS0519\S, Cook, 4/13/05, as the work draft. There being no objection, Version S was before the committee. REPRESENTATIVE GARA indicated that he appreciates that Version S does not include the provisions from HB 273, because he thinks they could use more work over the interim. CHAIR McGUIRE concurred and relayed that she would defer to the sponsor of HB 273 with regard to when those provisions can be addressed. 2:16:54 PM REPRESENTATIVE KOTT moved to report the proposed HCS for SB 104, Version 24-LS0519\S, Cook, 4/13/05, out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal notes. There being no objection, HCS CSSB 104(JUD) was reported from the House Judiciary Standing Committee. 2:17:18 PM CHAIR McGUIRE made a motion that the House Judiciary Standing Committee introduce a House Concurrent Resolution [which later became HCR 15] for the purpose of changing the title of HCS CSSB 104(JUD). There being no objection, the motion carried.
