HJR202-CONST.AM: SUBSISTENCE
SENATOR PEARCE moved to calendar CSHJR 202(FIN)am.
SENATOR LEMAN objected for the purpose of commenting on the
legislation. After hearing testimony on the bill in the Senate
Resources Committee yesterday, it is his opinion that the bill is
not worded as well as it should be. The Assistant Attorney General
acknowledged that the second sentence in the first section of CSHJR
202(FIN)am is unnecessary, and Senator Leman expressed concern that
its inclusion will cause problems. In addition, the bill contains
three different terms that pertain to fish and wildlife resources.
SENATOR LEMAN cautioned against using different terms to identify
the same thing in a constitutional amendment. SENATOR LEMAN said
his last concern is that if it is the intent of the state to pursue
litigation to resolve the constitutional issues surrounding
subsistence, he believes the last provision under the purpose
section of CSHJR 202(FIN)am will cause trouble.
CHAIRMAN KELLY announced that without further objection, CSHJR
202(FIN) am will be calendared.
There being no further business to come before the committee,
CHAIRMAN KELLY adjourned the meeting at 8:52 a.m.
