  HCR 9:  COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FISHING QUOTAS                                 
                                                                               
  Number 466                                                                   
                                                                               
  BOB HERRON, LEGISLATIVE AIDE TO REPRESENTATIVE LYMAN                         
  HOFFMAN, PRIME SPONSOR OF HCR 9, told the committee that HCR
 recognizes the success of the CDQ (Community Development                   
  Quota) program, and pointed out the involvement of three                     
  departments in that program:  The ADF&G, Community and                       
  Regional Affairs, and the DCED.  The resolution, he                          
  explained, calls for the reauthorization of the CDQ program                  
  and asks that the state draft a comprehensive fisheries                      
  policy that includes CDQs.                                                   
                                                                               
  Number 480                                                                   
                                                                               
  REPRESENTATIVE MULDER liked the concept, and commented that                  
  the CDQ program was a positive one.  He asked why the                        
  section regarding the fisheries policy had been included in                  
  HCR 9.                                                                       
                                                                               
  Number 488                                                                   
                                                                               
  MR. HERRON replied that the state needs such a policy, and                   
  it should be a long-term goal.                                               
                                                                               
  VICE CHAIRMAN HUDSON added his praise for the CDQ program,                   
  and said he would like to see HCR 9 include language                         
  speaking in opposition to the Individual Fisheries Quota                     
  (IFQ) program.                                                               
                                                                               
  Number 500                                                                   
                                                                               
  REPRESENTATIVE JAMES referred to section four of HCR 9, and                  
  noted that the state had not established a clear policy and                  
  should start working toward that goal.                                       
                                                                               
  REPRESENTATIVE MULDER remarked that development of a                         
  comprehensive fisheries policy could result in a horrendous                  
  fiscal note.                                                                 
                                                                               
  Number 520                                                                   
                                                                               
  VICE CHAIRMAN HUDSON made a MOTION to move CSHCR 9 (FSH) and                 
  the accompanying zero fiscal note from committee with                        
  individual recommendations.                                                  
                                                                               
  Number 526                                                                   
                                                                               
  CHAIRMAN WILLIAMS asked if there were any objections to the                  
  motion.  Hearing none, the MOTION PASSED.
