HJR 2-CONST.AM:NO GAMING WITHOUT VOTER APPROVAL 2:53:30 PM [Vice Chair Dahlstrom returned the gavel to Chair Ramras.] CHAIR RAMRAS announced that the final order of business would be HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 2, Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Alaska requiring an affirmative vote of the people before any form of gambling for profit may be authorized in Alaska. REPRESENTATIVE DAHLSTROM made a motion that the committee rescind its action in reporting from committee the proposed committee substitute (CS) for HJR 2, Version 25-LS0257\E, Luckhaupt, 5/9/07, as amended. There being no objection, Version E, as amended, was before the committee. 2:54:18 PM REPRESENTATIVE DAHLSTROM moved to adopt the proposed committee substitute (CS) for HJR 2, Version 25-LS0257\K, Luckhaupt, 5/11/07, as the work draft. REPRESENTATIVE GRUENBERG objected for the purpose of discussion. He referred to a memorandum dated May 11, 2007, by Gerald Luckhaupt, and noted that on page 1, line 11, Version E was amended to read, in part, "approved by any municipality where the gambling may occur", whereas Version K reads in part, on page 1, lines 10-11, "and approved by the municipality where the gaming or gambling may occur". He said he felt this change was beneficial, but noted this will require that the activity occur within a municipality. He stated that under Version E, as amended, the gaming or gambling could occur outside a municipality, for example, outside the city limits. REPRESENTATIVE DAHLSTROM, speaking as one of the resolution's joint prime sponsors, offered that the original intent was to address activity within a municipality, and so she appreciates the fix provided for in Version K. She added that she would want any municipality to be able to vote on whether this type of activity will be allowed in that community. REPRESENTATIVE GRUENBERG removed his objection. CHAIR RAMRAS asked if there was any further objection. There being none, Version K was before the committee. 2:57:27 PM REPRESENTATIVE DAHLSTROM moved to report the proposed CS for HJR 2, Version 25-LS0257\K, Luckhaupt, 05/11/07, out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal notes. There being no objection, CSHJR 2(JUD) was reported from the House Judiciary Standing Committee.
