SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 3 Relating to commemoration of Senator Frank R. Ferguson and other distinguished Senators. This was the second hearing for this resolution in the Senate Finance Committee. Co-Chair Wilken asked the Resolution's sponsor to address Committee concerns regarding the proposed location of the plaque and the nomination process through which names could be added in the future. Senator Olson, the Resolution's sponsor, noted that this Resolution would honor Senators by having their name included on a commemorative plaque that would be placed in the Capitol. He stated that the plaque would be an alternative to naming rooms and buildings after legislators due to the fact that there are a finite number of such places available. He provided an example of the plaque [copy on file]. Co-Chair Wilken reminded the Committee that Amendment #2, which was previously adopted, would omit the words "wall outside the Senate Finance Committee Room" and insert the words "place inside the Capitol Building" after the word "prominent" on page two, line 24 of the Resolution. Amendment #3: This amendment inserts the words "resolution of" following "by" on page two, line 25. Therefore, with the inclusion of Amendment #2, this language would read as follows. BE IT RESOLVED by the Alaska State Senate that a commemorative panel be established at a prominent place inside the Capitol Building for the listing of Senators who are specially recognized by resolution of the Alaska State Senate for the value of their contributions to he Alaska State Legislature and the people of Alaska; and be it Co-Chair Wilken moved to adopt Amendment #3. Co-Chair Green objected for explanation. Co-Chair Wilken explained that this language would allow the bill to be considered a "simple resolution" under Legislative Rule 49, which allows a resolution to be approved by either the House of Representatives or the Senate without requiring concurrence from the other body. Senator Olson voiced support for the Amendment. Co-Chair Green removed her objection. There being no further objection, Amendment #3 was ADOPTED. Amendment #4: This amendment inserts the word "posthumously" into the bill on page three, line 25, following the word "recognized". Senator Olson moved to adopt Amendment #4. There being no objection, Amendment #4 was ADOPTED. Senator Olson moved to report the Resolution, as amended, from Committee with individual recommendations and accompanying fiscal notes. There being no objection, CS SR 3 (FIN) was REPORTED from Committee with zero fiscal note #1 from the Legislative Council, Legislative Affairs Agency, dated March 8, 2004.
