SENATE BILL NO. 28 "An Act relating to the increase of an appropriation item based on additional federal or other program receipts." Co-chair Torgerson advised the committee that a new CS for SB 28 had been received and he proceeded to review it briefly for the committee. Senator Parnell MOVED the adoption of CSSB 28(FIN), 1- LS0236\D, Cook, 1/26/99 as a working draft for the committee. Senator Adams OBJECTED. He asked about possible changes on page two, lines one and two. (There followed a brief pause.) Co-chair Torgerson noted that section had been re-written. Senator Adams asked if this was just for clarification purposes. Co-chair Torgerson asked Mr. Teal from Legislative Finance to respond. Mr. David Teal, Director, Legislative Finance said he had just received the new CS and had not looked at the changes yet. Co-chair Torgerson said it appeared some changes had been made. Mr. Teal said in looking at it briefly that it was a similar change for clarification purposes. Senator Adams requested that Mr. Teal come before the committee to respond to any possible questions. David Teal was invited to join the committee. He said that the change on page two was for clarification of obligations. Senator Adams WITHDREW his objection. Therefore, WITHOUT OBJECTION the CS for SB 28 was ADOPTED as a working draft. Senator Phillips MOVED CSSB 28(FIN) from committee. Senator Adams OBJECTED. He said his objection was to the procedural change of the 45-day rule. He felt this legislation was unnecessary. For reference, Senator Adams cited the Homer Land Purchase using custodial receipts. He explained that this went through the public format and EVOS, however was rejected by Legislative Budget and Audit. He also cited Kodiak Aerospace Launch Facility. This also went through the proper process but was also rejected by Legislative Budget and Audit. He further advised the committee that there was a pending court action. For these reasons, he said the bill should be held in committee. He suggested that each RPL should be negotiated before being put on the agenda. The full committee should be involved in the process. Senator Adams maintained his objection. Senator Parnell explained the bill retained the full power of the Legislature and provided a proper operating mechanism. Senator Adams further commented to his objection, specifically regarding disasters. Co-chair Torgerson noted the objection by Senator Adams and asked the secretary for a roll call vote. By a roll call vote of 8 yeas (Torgerson, Parnell, Donley, Leman, Wilken, P. Kelly, Green, Phillips) and 1 nay (Adams) the bill was REPORTED OUT with individual recommendations and accompanying zero fiscal note from Division of Legislative Finance, Budget and Audit Committee.
