HB 71 - REGIONAL HOUSING AUTHORITIES
Number 010
CO-CHAIRMAN HARRIS announced that the only order of business before
the committee would be HOUSE BILL NO. 71, "An Act relating to
regional housing authorities."
LARRY LABOLLE, Staff to Representative Foster, referred the
committee to the sponsor statement of HB 71 which merely changes
the name from the Bering Straits Native Association to Kawerak,
Inc., its successor. The housing authority has sent a letter
stating no objection. The legislation would change the name in AS
18.55.996(a). Mr. Labolle offered to answer any questions.
REPRESENTATIVE MURKOWSKI understood that when the name change
occurred, the Bering Straits Native Association would no longer
exist.
MR. LABOLLE stated that the Bering Straits Native Association is
already non-existent. This is merely a formality. Mr. Labolle
explained that the Kawerak Board adjourns and comes back to order
as the Bering Straits Native Association and takes action to
appoint the Board of Commissioners for the Bering Straits Regional
Housing Authority.
REPRESENTATIVE MURKOWSKI said, "There is no other purpose for
Bering Straits Association other than to gavel in to take care of
this particular item and then gavel out."
MR. LABOLLE agreed that other than that function, the Bering
Straits Native Association does not exist and Kawerak, Inc. is its
successor.
Number 080

CSHB 71, Version LS0346\D Cook dated 2/9/99, as the working

CO-CHAIRMAN HALCRO moved to report CSHB 71(CRA) out of committee

note. There being no objection, it was so ordered.
ADJOURNMENT

Community & Regional Affairs Committee meeting was adjourned at
