2:10:32 PM                                                                                                                    
CHAIR  EGAN announced  HB 119  to be  up for  consideration [CSHB
119(EDT)  version  M  was  before   the  committee].  He  said  a                                                               
committee  substitute   had  been  prepared   [SCSCSHB  119(L&C),                                                               
version 27-GH1745\I] and that his staff would present it.                                                                       
                                                                                                                                
2:11:13 PM                                                                                                                    
DANA OWEN,  staff to Senator  Egan, explained the changes  in the                                                               
bill  had been  discussed in  the  last hearing,  but the  Alaska                                                               
Housing Finance  Corporation (AHFC)  had asked  to be  added; the                                                               
SCS  now includes  those changes.  Those changes  were okay  with                                                               
AIDEA and everybody else in  the administration who is interested                                                               
in this issue.                                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                                
He said the  first change amends the title; so  lines 7-9 on page                                                               
1 contain  reference to  the AIDEA sections  of the  bill. Beyond                                                               
that, beginning  on line 12,  sections 1-5, through page  3, line                                                               
26, are all the new AHFC sections of the bill.                                                                                  
                                                                                                                                
The only  other changes  occur on  the last  page, page  6, where                                                               
sections 12  and 13  are new  as a result  of the  AHFC sections.                                                               
Section 14  is the old effective  date and now Section  15 refers                                                               
strictly to  the AHFC  sections of the  bill. He  understood that                                                               
AIDEA  wanted  an  immediate effective  date  because  they  have                                                               
projects that are pending that  they need this authorization for.                                                               
AHFC  may  have  projects,  but didn't  express  an  interest  in                                                               
needing immediate authorization.                                                                                                
                                                                                                                                
CHAIR  EGAN objected  for questions.  He said  the administration                                                               
supports this committee substitute.                                                                                             
                                                                                                                                
SENATOR MENARD  said waiting  until July  is a  little convoluted                                                               
and wondered if  AHFC could have complied with  the same starting                                                               
date as AIDEA did.                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                                
MR.  OWEN said  the bill  could be  changed. He  suggested asking                                                               
AHFC if they would like to have an immediate effective date.                                                                    
                                                                                                                                
2:14:32 PM                                                                                                                    
STACY  SCHUBERT,  Alaska   Housing  Finance  Corporation  (AHFC),                                                               
stated they had no objection to that change.
