SB 9 CAPITAL PROJECT MATCHING GRANT FOR INDIAN RESERVATION SENATOR MACKIE testified on behalf of the bill. SENATOR ADAMS MOVED SB 9 from committee with individual recommendations. Without objection, SB 9 was REPORTED OUT with previous zero fiscal notes from the Department of Administration and the Department of Community and Regional Affairs. SB 9 CAPITAL PROJECT MATCHING GRANT FOR INDIAN RESERVATION SENATOR JERRY MACKIE, Sponsor, testified on behalf of the bill. He noted that a similar bill almost passed last session. He explained that it clarified language to include Metlakatla in the Capital Matching Grants program and clarified the intent of the act. He pointed out that Metlakatla also qualified for Unincorporated Community grants and the bill corrects that by excluding the village from that program. He addressed the question of whether the bill would include other municipalities organized under federal law as an Indian Reserve by stating that it only applied to Metlakatla. He cited a letter from Attorney General Bruce Botelho in support of the statement. SENATOR ADAMS brought up the village of Venetie, commenting that it should apply. SENATOR MACKIE referred to the Attorney General's letter in response, stating that Metlakatla was the only Indian Reservation recognized. SENATOR ADAMS MOVED SB 9 from committee with individual recommendations. Without objection, SB 9 was REPORTED OUT with previous zero fiscal notes from the Department of Administration and the Department of Community and Regional Affairs.
