HB 54-INVASIVE SPECIES MANAGEMENT 4:37:48 PM CHAIR REVAK announced the consideration of CS FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 54(FIN) "An Act establishing the Alaska Invasive Species Council in the Department of Fish and Game; relating to management of invasive species; relating to invasive species management decals; and providing for an effective date." [CSHB 54(Fin) was previously heard on 3/11/2022.] 4:37:50 PM CHAIR REVAK stated that the committee worked with the sponsor to improve certain aspects of the bill. He then solicited a motion to adopt the Senate Committee Substitute (SCS). 4:38:06 PM SENATOR MICCICHE moved to adopt the Senate Committee Substitute (SCS) for CSHB 54, work order 32-LS0057\D, as the working document. 4:38:19 PM SENATOR KIEHL asked whether the motion was to adopt version B or version D. SENATOR MICCICHE clarified that the motion was to adopt Version D. He restated the motion. 4:38:52 PM CHAIR REVAK objected for discussion purposes. 4:39:13 PM TIM LAMKIN, Staff, Senator Gary Stevens, Alaska State Legislature, Juneau, Alaska, reviewed the Explanation of Changes for Version N to Version D. He stated that Version D is the result of a request by Senator Stevens to amend CSHB 54(Fin) in conjunction with an agreement with the sponsor. He stated that Version D primarily made two substantive changes: 1) Version N, Page 2, lines 5 and 6. Refer to a fixed $20 dollar fee for decals. Version D, Page 3, lines 5 and 6. 4:39:51 PM MR. LAMKIN paraphrased the changes. Changes the fixed dollar amount to an amount recommend by the advisory council. It was considered more flexible and appropriate to put fee setting in regulation rather than come before the legislature time and time again to request fixed dollar amount changes. Especially, since the cost of decals may increase over time. 2) Version D, Page 4, Lines 13-17. Legislative representation was added to include two members of the house of representatives appointed by the speaker of the house of representatives, including one member of the minority organizational caucus; and two member so the senate appointed by the president of the senate, including one member of the minority organizational caucus. MR. LAMKIN stated that the legislative representation is consistent with the composition of other task forces set up by the legislature. He stated that this would bring the membership of the council to 31 members. Since the council would be substantially represented by private sector members, and because it is a public policy forum that conceivably would use public dollars, the governor would appoint one of the four commissioners as the chair of the council. 4:41:06 PM MR. LAMKIN referred to page 5, line 4, which read, "A majority of the council constitutes a quorum." He said this is consistent with task force language. Finally, on page 5, lines 17-18, "A vacancy on the council shall be 18 filled in the same manner as the original appointment." He noted Legislative Legal Services made conforming amendments. 4:41:30 PM SENATOR MICCICHE asked whether Senator Stevens had volunteered to serve on the Alaska Invasive Species Task Force [Council]. 4:41:48 PM SENATOR STEVENS clarified that the council was comprised of 31 members. He offered his support for Version D. 4:42:12 PM CHAIR REVAK withdrew his objection; he heard no further objection, and Version D was adopted as the working document. CHAIR REVAK solicited the will of the committee. 4:42:39 PM SENATOR MICCICHE moved to report the Senate Committee Substitute (SCS) for CSHB 54, work order 32-LS0057\D, from committee with individual recommendations and attached fiscal note(s). 4:43:02 PM CHAIR REVAK found no objection, and SCS CSHB 54(RES) was reported from Senate Resources Standing Committee.
