RECONVENED
CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 16(FIN)
"An Act relating to certain alcoholic beverage
licenses and permits; relating to the bond requirement
for certain alcoholic beverage license holders; and
providing for an effective date."
9:01:32 AM
Co-Chair Wilson noted the committee would continue public
testimony from the previous afternoon.
WILLIAM HARRINGTON, SELF, ANCHORAGE (via teleconference),
did not support alcohol at sporting events and other fairs
where children were present. He shared a story from
personal experience. He did not believe rehab worked and he
did not like the idea of serving alcohol at Eaglecrest Ski
area in Juneau. He stressed that it was easy to purchase
alcohol in the state. He believed that serving alcohol
around children was harmful.
9:04:02 AM
JEROME HERTEL, ALASKA STATE FAIR, HOMER (via
teleconference), spoke in support of the bill. He believed
that the bill would enable the fair to continue to serve
alcoholic beverages as it had for the prior 37 years.
Co-Chair Wilson asked whether the fair had any violations
during the time the fair held the license. Mr. Hertel would
have to check. He believed that the fair was violation free
for most of the time they had held the license. He would
follow up for accuracy. Co-Chair Wilson clarified that she
wanted to point out on the record that the issue was not in
response to any improper action by the fair and was
responding to the reinterpretation of the license. Mr.
Hertel answered that there had been no problems brought on
by the fair.
Representative Josephson interpreted that the bill
grandfathered in the fair even if the bill did not create a
new fair license. Mr. Hertel affirmed that the fair would
be grandfathered in as a recreational site license.
9:07:11 AM
CODIE COSTELLO, VICE PRESIDENT, STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT AND
COMMUNICATIONS, ALASKA CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS,
ANCHORAGE (via teleconference), spoke in support of the
legislation. The bill provided clarity and stability to
allow the center to move forward and grow its business
responsibly. She indicated that the center never had any
prior incidences with the license.
Co-Chair Wilson clarified that the bill grandfathered in
the exact prior activities allowed under the license. Ms.
Costello affirmed the statement.
9:08:14 AM
TIFFANY HALL, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, RECOVER ALASKA, ANCHORAGE
(via teleconference), requested an amendment for the bill.
She shared that the organization worked to reduce excessive
alcohol use and reduce high risk drinking by promoting best
practices. She elaborated that the harm caused by alcohol
use cost the state $1.84 billion annually. Alaskans were
dying at a rate three times higher than the national
average. She emphasized that any legislation that increased
the outlets for alcohol consumption was antithetical to
best practices. She understood many of the businesses had
already been serving alcohol. She voiced that she was not
speaking against the bill but hoped that the committee
would consider adding health and safety measures to the
bill. She suggested amending the bill to include a keg
registration and noted that was a national best practice to
ensure that if a person purchased alcohol for an underage
person, they would be held liable. She recommended that the
state regulate internet sales. She communicated that Alaska
was one of the only states that did not have any regulation
against purchasing alcohol from out of state. Currently, a
teenager could order alcohol from the internet. In
addition, Alaska was not collecting any taxes on alcohol
internet sales.
Co-Chair Wilson asked if she realized that the bill was not
authorizing any new licensing. Ms. Hall understood and
appreciated the comment. She advised that it would be wise
to include public health and safety practices in SB 16. Co-
Chair Wilson alerted Ms. Hall that a Title IV rewrite was
expected and was the best way to address her concerns.
9:11:30 AM
SARAH OATES, PRESIDENT AND CEO, ALASKA CABARET HOTEL
RESTAURANT AND RETAILERS ASSOCIATION (CHARR), ANCHORAGE
(via teleconference), testified in support of the bill. She
reported that the association represented most of the
alcohol licensees in the state. The organization supported
grandfathering in the existing licensees and returning the
license of business who had lost their license due to the
change in enforcement.
9:13:21 AM
Co-Chair Wilson CLOSED public testimony.
Co-Chair Wilson asked what activities were allowed under a
recreational license. She requested that Ms. McConnell
recount exactly when the interpretation changed, and the
first licensee was notified.
ERIKA MCCONNELL, DIRECTOR, ALCOHOL AND MARIJUANA CONTROL
OFFICE, DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT, answered that the statute AS 04.11.210
pertaining to a Recreational Site License allowed a license
holder to sell alcohol during and one hour before and after
a recreational event that was not a school event. She read
the following from the statute, A recreational site
included a location that baseball games, car races, hockey
games, dog sled racing events or curling matches are
regularly held during a season. She elucidated that the
board began looking at the issue around 2010 or 2011 and
crafted a policy that it implemented for two years.
Subsequently, the office undertook a regulations project
that was not implemented. In 2014 and in 2017, a
legislative audit cited the board for issuing licenses that
were not in compliance with the section of statue. She
shared that the board had struggled with the issue for the
past 10 years.
Co-Chair Wilson asked when the board first alerted a
license holder they no longer fit under the recreational
license. Ms. McConnell replied that the 2018/2019 license
renewal period was the first time the board issued a final
renewal for two years along with a notice of non-renewal
subsequent to the end of the two-year period.
9:16:30 AM
Co-Chair Wilson inquired what license options were
available when they were no longer able to obtain a
recreational license. Ms. McConnell replied that the answer
depended on the type of business affected. She elaborated
that two businesses were able to find a restaurant or
eating place license and others did not attempt to find
other options like a beverage dispensary license. She noted
that a beverage dispensary license was only available from
the secondary market and were tremendously expensive. Co-
Chair Wilson asked why the board had not looked at the
possibility of grandfathering the businesses in. She
pointed out that the result would have shut down businesses
that were not at fault. Ms. McConnell answered that no
provision existed in statute for the board to grandfather
in businesses. However, the Title IV rewrite steering
committee in 2012, proposed granting a noncompliant
recreational site licensee an 8 year phase out period. Co-
Chair Wilson asked if the action opened the state up to a
lawsuit. She continued that the state had allowed
businesses to grow based on a legally issued license and
through no fault of their own they had been told their
license was invalid. Ms. McConnell replied that she was not
an attorney and was not able to answer the question.
9:18:54 AM
Representative Knopp deduced that the recreational licenses
had been issued liberally at one time. He thought that the
reason they were not in compliance was because the
recreational activities definitions were not in statute.
He inquired whether Ms. McConnell felt that it was a
little unreasonable to expect that a legislative body
could identify every recreational opportunity. Ms.
McConnell responded that under the situation the common
guidance was to refer to the list of examples given in
statute and evaluate the new proposal to determine whether
it met the commonalities of the examples. She was unaware
why the prior boards made the decisions it had 15 to 20
years earlier. She noted that they did appear to issue
licenses to businesses that did not operate seasonally and
whose activities did not match the commonalities included
on the list in statute. Representative Knopp was frustrated
and disappointed that the past director had not come
forward to the legislature when the issue had occurred to
ask for a remedy. He commented that instead, the
legislature spent numerous years trying to fix what the
board was trying to undo. The businesses operated in
compliance and in the restrictive manner laid out in
statute. He asked if Ms. McConnell thought the legislature
should address recreation holistically in statute and not
try to define it via example.
9:22:07 AM
Ms. McConnell answered that the board did not wish to take
licenses away from businesses. She wanted clarity and
boundaries from the legislature. She suggested that the
more clarity the better in terms of what businesses should
be able to obtain liquor licenses. Representative Knopp
maintained that under some circumstances legislative intent
had to suffice.
Representative Josephson asked if Ms. McConnell had been
present at the recent House Labor and Commerce Committee
meetings. Ms. McConnell believed so. Representative
Josephson indicated that the prior version of the bill
repealed surrendering the caterers permit. He noted the CS
did not include the provision. He asked whether it was
significant. Ms. McConnell answered that the provision was
not significant. She reported that the permit was issued
via email and the licensee was not required to return the
permit after the event.
Co-Chair Wilson asked if any of the 11 impacted businesses
had been given notice or renewed. Ms. McConnell answered
that one of the 11 businesses that had been denied claimed
they had not been noticed and was currently working through
an appeal process. She added that the other businesses were
given notice. Co-Chair Wilson understood that one of the
ski facilities was renewed last year. She asked whether
they received a notice that it was the last renewal. Ms.
McConnell answered that the ski area had been renewed
without notice. Co-Chair Wilson asked why. Ms. McConnell
was not privy to why the board renewed the license. Co-
Chair Wilson noted that the ski area did not fall under the
interpretation of statute and asked whether she advises the
board. Ms. McConnell responded that she advised the board
to deny the renewal. Co-Chair Wilson remarked that the
board renewed anyway. Ms. McConnell affirmed the statement.
Co-Chair Wilson related that based on the renewal another
ski area applied for the license and was denied. Ms.
McConnell answered that the applicant had written to her
and acknowledged that a ski area did not comply with the
statute guidelines but noted the history of approving
recreational site licenses for other ski resorts.
9:26:32 AM
Co-Chair Wilson restated her question regarding one ski
resort renewal prompting another ski area to apply only to
be denied. Ms. McConnell responded in the affirmative. Co-
Chair Wilson noted that there were numerous issues going on
with the Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Board. She
reiterated her previously stated concerns regarding the
issue. She notified the committee that the denied ski area
had their application fee returned but had wasted much time
and investment applying. She also noted the issue regarding
hours for playing music and reported that the bill would
allow an organization to revert to their prior practices if
they reapplied for a recreation site license even if the
business had surrendered its license and purchased another
type of license. The bill authorized that the business had
to choose which license they wanted to operate under and
sell the other. She asked Ms. McConnell if she was correct.
Ms. McConnell answered in the affirmative. She clarified
that a business could only operate under one license.
9:29:00 AM
Representative Knopp asked whether a statute guided the
entertainment hours under the recreational site license.
Ms. McConnell answered that the recreational site licenses
lacked any entertainment restrictions. However, there were
entertainment restrictions for restaurant licenses.
Co-Chair Wilson asked to hear from Legislative Audit
regarding future auditing problems with passage of the
bill.
KRIS CURTIS, LEGISLATIVE AUDITOR, ALASKA DIVISION OF
LEGISLATIVE AUDIT, answered that auditors looked at
criteria and audited regarding the statutes and
regulations. She affirmed that providing clarity to the
board, auditors, and the public was very important. Co-
Chair Wilson ascertained that the statute had allowed for
much interpretation. She understood that the statute
required clarity. Ms. Curtis voiced that the statutes were
very clear and listed the specific activities that
qualified a business. She listed the licensed entities
found in the audit such as a spa, pool hall, travel tour
company, etc. were clearly not in accordance with
statute.
Co-Chair Wilson wanted to truly right some wrongs related
to licensees but did not want to grant new licenses.
9:32:19 AM
Representative Knopp maintained his concern regarding the
entertainment hours of operation in the bill. Co-Chair
Wilson replied that if a business went back to a
recreational license they would be allowed to operate in
the prior manner.
CSSB 16(FIN) was HEARD and HELD in committee for further
consideration.
CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 43(FIN)
"An Act extending the termination date of the Big Game
Commercial Services Board; relating to a person's
eligibility to hold a registered guide-outfitter
license, master guide- outfitter license, class-A
assistant guide license, assistant guide license, or
transporter license; and providing for an effective
date."
9:33:48 AM
Co-Chair Wilson relayed that she would hold the bill in
committee. She expected that an amendment was forthcoming.
She indicated that some concerns regarding the board
lingered. She asked to hear from Legislative Audit
regarding the recommended 5 year period of extension and
consequences of a shorter extension period.
KRIS CURTIS, LEGISLATIVE AUDITOR, ALASKA DIVISION OF
LEGISLATIVE AUDIT, shared that more than 800 hours had gone
into the audit and it had cost approximately $70,000. She
shared that the division had just recently audited the
board; three years prior in 2015 and again in 2018. She had
recommended a two year extension in the past for another
board due to serious public safety concerns. Typically, a
three year extension meant they had serious concerns. She
indicated that they could begin another audit in the coming
year. However, she did not believe they would find anything
to draw a different conclusion. The term of extension was
exclusively a legislative decision. Legislative Audit
Division would place the audit first in a queue and make it
a priority if the legislature made it a priority.
Co-Chair Wilson wondered why the division only recommended
a 5 year audit versus and 8 year audit. Ms. Curtis
answered that the division had recommended a six-year
extension. The Senate Finance Committee had changed the
period to five years over concerns about the investigation.
She clarified that the audit did not conclude that the
board did a poor job with investigations. The audit did
conclude that there had been no documentation to support
periods of inactivity. The division was not required to
report on the quality of the investigatory decisions, only
the efficiency with which decisions were made. The eleven
sunset audit criteria that were listed in the back of every
audit report were used unless directed otherwise by the
Legislative Budget and Audit Committee (LBA).
9:38:06 AM
Representative Josephson asked about the statement that an
audit would be prioritized if requested by the legislature.
He asked for details. Ms. Curtis clarified that the
division always prioritized items that carried a statutory
requirement. She delineated that any legislator could
request a performance audit through LBA and if approved,
the audit was placed first in the que of audits. The
division would address the audit as resources allowed.
Sunset audits were statutorily required and were given
priority.
Representative Knopp asked that for every board with a
sunset requirement the division was mandated to perform an
audit regardless of the extension. Ms. Curtis answered that
not all boards had an audit requirement. She pointed out
that not all entities with a sunset date had an audit
requirement. She elaborated that many occupational boards
had the sunset requirement. When a sunset date was put in
statute the division performed an audit one year prior to
the sunset. Representative Knopp deduced that if he did not
want an audit when the board sunset the division was
required to perform one regardless. Ms. Curtis answered in
the affirmative.
Co-Chair Wilson deduced that a remedy for a concern
regarding the length of time investigations were taking
would be better addressed via statute versus an audit.
9:40:17 AM
Ms. Curtis answered that LBA wanted a specific focus on a
sunset audit the committee could request that the division
add an audit criterion. She restated that besides the 11
sunset criteria there was the ability to look at something
more deliberately.
Representative LeBon asked for verification that the
division would do an audit one year prior to the sunset
date of 2024 in the bill. Ms. Curtis nodded in agreement.
Representative LeBon asked for clarification regarding who
could request a performance audit. Ms. Curtis answered that
any legislator could request an audit through the LBA
committee. She reiterated that completing the audit
depended on the divisions available resources. She noted
that the division was completing an audit at present that
began in 2015. A special performance audit typically took
one year before the audit process began.
Representative Knopp surmised that when there were
additional concerns with the board not included in the
audit it would require a special audit request that might
take three to four more years to address.
Co-Chair Wilson interjected that if there were specific
concerns about the board sunset it should be included in
the current extension bill. She asked how the additional
concerns should be included in the audit via a letter or
amending the bill. She wondered what the process was.
Representative Knopp questioned whether a request had to be
made in a special audit or if they could be addressed via
the sunset bill. Ms. Curtis answered that the most
efficient way was to include the concerns in a sunset audit
bill. She cautioned the committee that she usually worked
with someone making audit requests - audits needed specific
criteria in order to answer the question and could not be
subjective.
9:44:06 AM
Representative Knopp relayed that he had heard many
concerns about the board, and he planned to recommend a
shorter extension period of two years.
Co-Chair Wilson thought there was time to reach out to Ms.
Curtis to ensure the committee provided a framework to
address the concerns in the bill. She was uncertain that a
two year extension was enough time to get questions
answered. Co-Chair Wilson suggested that Representative
Knopps office contact Ms. Curtis for consultation.
Representative Knopp declined to consult with Ms. Curtis.
Representative LeBon referenced Ms. Curtis's phrase "best
practices." He shared that in the banking industry the term
was used often. He believed that it was a very intangible
concept. He cautioned that best practices were carefully
crafted and sometimes not to the benefit of the auditee.
9:47:07 AM
GARY ZEPP, STAFF, SENATOR DAVID WILSON, shared that Senator
Wilson appreciated the work the committee had done.
Co-Chair Wilson noted there was possibly another amendment
coming forward and would hold the bill until the following
meeting.
CSSB 16(FIN) was HEARD and HELD in committee for further
consideration.
SENATE BILL NO. 10
"An Act extending the termination date of the
Statewide Suicide Prevention Council; and providing
for an effective date."
9:47:52 AM
JACOB GARISH, STAFF, SENATOR SCOTT KAWASAKI, thanked the
committee for hearing the bill that would extend the
council for another eight years as recommended by the
audit.
Co-Chair Wilson spoke to the new fiscal note from the House
Finance Committee for the Department of Health and Social
Services (DHSS). She relayed that she changed the fiscal
note due to the lack of response from the Department of
Education and Early Development (DEED) to her requests for
further information regarding the list of grantees and
specifics about the award amounts and how they utilized the
grant. She understood the importance of the council and
believed that it needed additional funding for travel and
services to respond to emergencies. She elucidated that she
deleted $ 461.7 thousand from the Grants and Benefits line
and added $61.7 thousand to the governors request of $51.3
to the Services line to enable the council to respond to an
emergency in any area of the state. She expressed
discomfort with authorizing funding for pass through grants
without accountability.
Mr. Garish pointed out that AS 14.30.362 (a) and read the
following from the statute:
(a) A school district and the department shall provide
youth suicide awareness and prevention training
approved by the commissioner to each teacher,
administrator, counselor, and specialist who is
employed by the district or department to provide
services to students in a public school in the state
at no cost to the teacher, administrator, counselor,
or specialist.
Mr. Garish indicated that currently the funding through the
grant program was the only money available to the school
districts for youth suicide awareness and prevention
training. He was uncertain how the administration would
respond if the funding was eliminated. Co-Chair Wilson did
not care how the administration was going to respond to
actions taken by the committee. She asserted that she
understood statute and countered that the grants were not
being utilized for the intended purpose. Online training
was currently available at no cost to the school districts.
She was aware that the grant funding was not awarded to
every district. She wondered whether he had documentation
showing how the grant money was spent and what districts
received the funding. Mr. Garish noted that not every
school district received the grant funding. Co-Chair Wilson
maintained that every district was required to abide by the
statute. She asked if her statement was correct. Mr. Garish
replied in the negative. Co-Chair Wilson reiterated that
the grants were not going to every school district. She
attempted to get specifics from DEED regarding what the
grants were being spent on in the current year since the
training was online and available to every district. She
restated her request for documentation about the grant
awards and purpose. Mr. Garish answered in the negative.
9:51:39 AM
Co-Chair Foster concurred that he would like to see more
complete information concerning the grants.
Co-Chair Wilson emphasized that she had tried for one month
to get the information. The grants passed through the
department and she did not know what the districts spent
the money on. She reiterated her concern that not all
districts received a grant and that online training was
available and was not an unfunded mandate. She recalled
testimony from Representative Tarr stating the council
mobilized to an area when a suicide happened and provided
services, which was the reason she appropriated additional
funding to the services line.
Representative Josephson asked if Co-Chair Wilsons
proposal was to move away from intervention and to
prevention. Co-Chair Wilson answered in the negative. She
clarified that she had been unable to get any information
about the grants; therefore, she moved some of the funding
to services. She determined that a very valuable service of
the council was to provided services to a community in
response to suicide. She appropriated approximately $110
thousand to the council to carry out the emergency
services.
9:53:33 AM
Representative Josephson remembered that the committee had
previously approved the $400 thousand for grant funding.
Co-Chair Wilson agreed with the statement. She recounted
that she had no response from DEED on what the funds had
been spent on. The training was online at no cost to
teachers. Representative Josephson asked how the other body
saw the matter. He asked whether the fiscal note had been
funded by the Operating Budget Conference Committee. Co-
Chair Wilson responded that the funding was included in a
fiscal note and was completely different than the
operating budget and was a totally different piece of
legislation. She was unaware of what the other body was
proposing.
Mr. Garish answered that $70,000 of the grant funding was
appropriated to the online modules and the other funding
went to various things including competitive grants in the
amount of $25 thousand that school district could apply
for. Co-Chair Wilson asked what specifically the $25,000 in
grant funding was being used for. Mr. Garish replied that
he included supporting documents in the committee packets.
He deferred to the department for details.
Co-Chair Wilson asked for specific information regarding
what the grants were used for and why some districts were
chosen over others.
9:55:59 AM
SHARON FISHEL, EDUCATION SPECIALIST, SCHOOL HEALTH, SAFETY,
AND ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION, DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND
EARLY DEVELOPMENT (via teleconference), indicated that she
managed the councils grant funds. She detailed that
currently 9 school districts received grant funding for
suicide prevention. She reported that the Anchorage School
District used the funding in its most at risk schools to
train staff. She listed the following schools: McLaughlin,
New Path High School, AVAIL, Benson Secondary/SEARCH, SAVE
High School, and Crossroads School. The funding was used
for Safe and Civil Schools training that fostered a
positive school climate. The Mat-Su School District used
its funding for the You Are Not Alone Club that trained
students on peer to peer modeling to teach other students
on the warning signs of suicide prevention. Currently, the
district had trained over 1,400 students since November.
She furthered that the Kenai School District used the
funding for the Sources of Strength program, which was a
peer to peer model. She informed the committee that the
Juneau School District also employed the Sources of
Strength program and used much of the funding for
restorative practices at the Yaakoosge Daakahidi High
School. The Petersburg School District used the grant
funding to provide mental health counseling and positive
behavioral support for all schools. The Fairbanks School
District used their funding for the Signs of Suicide
Prevention Program (SOS) in all its schools. The North
Slope District used the funding for restorative practices
and positive behavioral intervention and support. The
Bering Straits School District directed its funding for the
Youth Leader Program in coordination with the Nome School
District, which trained the students to become leaders in
suicide awareness and prevention practices. She added that
the Lower Yukon School District used the same program. In
addition to suicide prevention in the schools, the youth
leaders reached out to elders in the community.
10:01:22 AM
Co-Chair Wilson asked to receive the information in writing
during the current day.
SB 10 was HEARD and HELD in committee for further
consideration.
