HOUSE BILL NO. 71 "An Act extending the termination date of the Board of Certified Direct-Entry Midwives." This was the second hearing for this bill in the Senate Finance Committee. Co-Chair Wilken stated that this bill would extend the Board of Midwives until June 30, 2007. Senator B. Stevens moved to adopt committee substitute, Version 23- LS0439\D as a working draft. Co-Chair Wilken objected to explain that the committee substitute adds new language to Section 2, subsection 08.65.060 that requires an applicant to pass an examination about Alaska laws that apply to this profession. He stated that this language was recommended on page 11 of the Division of Legislative Audit report dated August 15, 2002 [copy on file]. Co-Chair Wilken removed his objection. There being no further objection, the committee substitute was ADOPTED as a working draft. KAYE KANNE, President, Midwives Association of Alaska, voiced support voiced of the bill, and that she approved of the State law exam requirement. Co-Chair Wilken noted that, while other pertinent issues were discussed in the previous hearing on this bill, the determination is that the Board would address the issues at its upcoming November meeting. LINDA SYLVESTER, Staff to Representative Bruce Weyhrauch, voiced appreciation for the Committee's support of this "clean bill." Senator B. Stevens moved to report the bill from Committee with individual recommendations and accompanying previous fiscal note. Co-Chair Wilken interjected that, because the committee substitute changes the title of this House of Representatives bill, a Senate Concurrent Resolution would accompany the bill. There being no objection, SCS HB 71 (FIN) was REPORTED from Committee with individual recommendations and previous $28,200 fiscal note #1, dated February 10, 2003, from the Department of Community and Economic Development.
