HJR 41-LAND RECREATIONAL VISITOR PROTECTION ACT CHAIR GARY STEVENS announced HJR 41 to be up for consideration. JULIE LUCKY, staff to Representative Beth Kerttula, informed members that Alaska has a higher rate of avalanche deaths than any state in the nation yet there is almost no avalanche forecasting. HJR 41 supports efforts by U.S. Senator Ted Stevens to obtain federal grant money for forecasting, detecting and mitigating avalanches. She pointed out the support letters and the text of S.931 in the packets. CHAIR GARY STEVENS noted that on page 1, line 11 the resolution refers to national parks but the federal law used different terminology and he questioned whether it was clear that they were talking about the same areas. MS. LUCKY explained that S. 931 is funneled through the national park system but the grants could be used by that agency, by private entities or by volunteer groups. There were no further questions. CHAIR GARY STEVENS asked for the pleasure of the committee. SENATOR GRETCHEN GUESS motioned to move CSHJR 41(RES) from committee with individual recommendations and attached zero fiscal note. There being no objection, it was so ordered.
