SJR 8-COMPLETION OF UNIVERSITY LAND GRANT 1:02:34 PM CHAIR PATKOTAK announced that the first order of business would be CS FOR SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 8(RES) Urging the Alaska delegation in Congress, the United States Department of the Interior, and the Governor to facilitate a land grant endowment to the University of Alaska; urging the Alaska delegation in Congress to reintroduce the University of Alaska Fiscal Foundation Act; and urging the Department of Natural Resources to work with the University of Alaska to identify lands suitable for the land endowment. 1:03:19 PM SENATOR GARY STEVENS, Alaska State Legislature, as prime sponsor, explained that the University of Alaska (UA) has been "land deficit" in its history, and SJR 8 would give UA greater fiscal stability, thereby resulting in the university's reduced reliance on state general fund money. He noted that SJR 8 is the response to the request from Alaska's congressional delegation for help in passing the University of Alaska Fiscal Foundation Act. 1:04:39 PM REPRESENTATIVE RAUSCHER asked for clarification regarding the proposed legislation's effect on that which the federal government owes the State of Alaska. SENATOR STEVENS replied that the acreage in question is part of the lands already owed to the State of Alaska by the federal government. In response to a follow-up question, he deferred to his staff. 1:05:36 PM TIM LAMKIN, Staff, Senator Gary Stevens, Alaska State Legislature, on behalf of Senator Stevens, prime sponsor, explained that the available volume of land is "fixed," and this request from Alaska's congressional delegation is aimed at finalizing the land conveyances. As further clarification, he explained that SJR 8 is a resolution intended to give Alaska's congressional delegation a tool to help finalize the process of land conveyances. 1:07:00 PM CHAIR PATKOTAK opined that SJR 8 is like asking the federal government to pay an invoice instead of invoicing them again. 1:07:15 PM ED FOGELS, Partner, Jade North, LLC, explained that this effort would not change the amount of land owed to the state by the federal government; rather, it "shaves off" some of the land owed and gives it to UA. 1:08:21 PM REPRESENTATIVE HOPKINS moved to report SJR 8 out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying zero fiscal note. There being no objection, CSSJR 8(RES) was moved out of the House Resources Standing Committee. 1:08:41 PM The committee took a brief at-ease.
