SB 111-INTRASTATE AIR SERVICE CERTIFICATES CHAIR KOOKESH announced the consideration of SB 111. 1:10:07 PM TIM BENINTENDI, Staff to Senator Olson, introduced SB 111 on behalf of the sponsor. He stated the following: Senate Bill 111 would align two time frames which are currently officially out of sync. I say officially because the department is already behaving in a manor that the bill would accommodate. Issued through DOT, certificates of compliance mandate that intrastate air carriers publicly display certificates that show they have active liability insurance policies in effect. As written in AS02.40.020, they run for the calendar year. Valid policies held by commercial air carriers usually run for different time periods which can begin and end at any time during the year. there is also the situation where new aircraft is placed into service at any given time during the year. And then, of course, the insurance policy immediately picks up there. New or renewed insurance policies which occur during the year necessitate that certificates issued on stst January 1 be renewed prior to December 31. Likewise, policies issued during the year must be renewed on st January 1. The certificates do not cover the entire insurance period. This circumstance wastes time and money for all parties, especially staff time at DOT. SB 111 would dispense with the January-to-December time frame, and allow certificates of compliance to float with a carrier's insurance policy period. Basically saying any twelve-month period. This bill is supported by the Alaska Air Carriers Association, and has no known opposition. The bill carries a zero fiscal. 1:12:03 PM CHAIR KOOKESH commented that the bill appears to be a housekeeping item. CHRISTINE KLEIN, Deputy Commissioner, Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (DOTPF), said the department supports the bill and wants the statute to match current practice. CHAIR KOOKESH noted that a letter of support from the Alaska Air Carriers Association is included in the bill packet. Finding no one who wanted to testify, he closed public testimony and asked for will of the committee. 1:14:29 PM SENATOR MEYER moved to report SB 111 from committee with individual recommendations and attached fiscal note(s). There being no objection, SB 111 moved from the Senate Transportation Standing Committee.
