ACTION NARRATIVE
TAPE 94-04, SIDE A
Number 000
VICE CHAIR JEANNETTE JAMES called the meeting to order at
4:15 p.m. Members present at the call to order were
Representatives Al Vezey and Joe Green.
HB 199 -OIL & GAS EXPLORATION LICENSES/LEASES
REPRESENTATIVE JOE GREEN, Chair of the Oil and Gas
Subcommittee, gave reasons why House Bill 199 would benefit
the state of Alaska.
REPRESENTATIVE JAMES asked about the consequences if the
bill passed. REPRESENTATIVE GREEN replied that if the bill
passed but was not used, there would be no harm done.
REPRESENTATIVE VEZEY expressed concern that too much of
Alaska would be opened up.
REPRESENTATIVE GREEN replied that the Governor would only
select one area per year.
REPRESENTATIVE JAMES expressed concern that oil companies
would just tie up large areas to keep other companies from
getting them; prohibiting other industries such as timber
and tourism to develop.
REPRESENTATIVE GREEN replied that oil exploration created
very small footprints and would allow other activities to
occur simultaneously.
REPRESENTATIVE VEZEY said that it may be too late to attract
big dollars back to Alaska, but there was a need to at least
try to attract small capital and small block leasing. He
suggested seeing if there was an existing House Bill to
accomplish this.
REPRESENTATIVE JAMES said that, if there were no objections,
the Task Force would endorse the Committee Substitute for
House Bill 199. Both members agreed.
HB 367 - PROHIBITED HIGHWAY ADVERTISING
REPRESENTATIVE JAMES, Chair of the Tourism and
Transportation Subcommittee, brought up the issue of
signage.
DAVID KAMRATH, STAFF FOR REPRESENTATIVE HARLEY OLBERG,
testified regarding House Bill 367, noting that a proposed
committee substitute will have the same wording as Senate
Bill 157. It would allow a tourism related business to have
up to four signs within fifty miles.
REPRESENTATIVE VEZEY stated that penalties needed to be
higher. He said he supported the concept, but wanted to see
reasonable guidelines for maintenance of signs, and
limitations imposed.
REPRESENTATIVE JAMES said she feared the bill allowed too
many signs. The committee agreed to consider this bill with
some changes, agreeing there is a need to facilitate
directions for visitors. Staff person Barbara Cotting
agreed to continue working on this with David Kamrath.
SB 151 - OIL & GAS EXPLORATION INCENTIVE CREDITS
REPRESENTATIVE GREEN next discussed Senate Bill 151,
explaining it allowed companies to apply a 10 percent tax
credit for exploration against projects other than oil
exploration. The Task Force agreed to endorse this bill.
HB 330 - FUEL STATE AUTO FLEET WITH NATURAL GAS
REPRESENTATIVE GREEN then brought up House Bill 330, noting
a correction in his subcommittee's original list under New
Legislation. House Bill 330 should replace item number 3.
He stated this bill sends a message to the Federal
Environmental Protection Agency that Alaska is complying
with their standards. The Task Force agreed to endorse this
bill.
Staff was directed to send a notice to all Task Force
members outlining the three bills which the group agreed to
endorse today and if there were no objections from the other
members by the next meeting, these three bills will remain
on the list of bills endorsed by the Task Force.
ADJOURNMENT
REPRESENTATIVE JAMES adjourned the meeting at 5:30 p.m.
