10:10:13 AM
CHAIR SEATON announced that the first order of business would be
HOUSE BILL NO. 110, "An Act prohibiting the use of barbed hooks
in certain freshwater areas."
10:10:57 AM
REPRESENTATIVE FEIGE moved to adopt the proposed committee
substitute (CS) for HB 110, Version 28-LS0360\C, Bullard,

Version C was before the committee.
10:11:23 AM

Section 1 as subsection (b), which read [original punctuation
provided]:
The Board of Fisheries may prohibit the use of barbed
hooks in a freshwater fishery coincident with a
fishery for a species that may not be retained under a
regulation adopted by the Board of Fisheries.
CHAIR SEATON also pointed out the change to page 1, line 12
referring to the definition of a barbed hook, which was
clarified in the CS at the behest of protection officers. He
further stressed that the committee is not imposing a management
mandate on the Board of Fisheries through adoption of HB 110.
10:13:17 AM
REPRESENTATIVE KREISS-TOMKINS moved to report the proposed CS
for HB 110, 28-LS0360\C, Bullard, 3/20/13, out of committee with

Chinook salmon bycatch in the Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea
trawl fisheries by setting new limits in the Gulf of Alaska
trawl fisheries and lowering the existing limits in the Gulf of
Alaska and Bering Sea pollock fisheries to at least half of the
current limits.
10:15:51 AM
REPRESENTATIVE FEIGE moved to adopt the proposed committee

as the working document. There being no objection Version O was
before the committee.
10:16:20 AM
The committee took an at-ease from 10:16 a.m. to 10:17 a.m.
CHAIR SEATON said there are two amendments to consider and he
offered Conceptual Amendment 1, which read [original punctuation
provided]:
Page 2, following line 22:
Insert new material to read:
"WHEREAS, the House of Representatives
acknowledges and appreciates the work that has been
done by the trawl industry and the North Pacific
Fishery Management Council to reduce bycatch, and
encourages the trawl industry and the council to
further reduce bycatch; and be it"
Page 2, line 19:
Delete "BE IT"
Insert "FURTHER"
10:18:45 AM
REPRESENTATIVE FEIGE objected.
CHAIR SEATON explained that the amendment acknowledges the work
being undertaken by industry, as presented during public
testimony.
REPRESENTATIVE FEIGE withdrew his objection. With no further
objection Conceptual Amendment 1 was adopted.
10:19:47 AM
CHAIR SEATON drew attention to Conceptual Amendment 2, which
read [original punctuation provided]:
WHEREAS SeaShare is a non-profit organization that
partners the seafood industry with the nation's food
bank network to utilize edible bycatch as a source of
nutrition for hunger-relief; and
CHAIR SEATON said this WHEREAS is offered for insertion to
immediately follow Conceptual Amendment 1. Without objection,
Conceptual Amendment 2 was adopted.
10:21:55 AM
REPRESENTATIVE FEIGE moved to report the CS for HR 6, Version
28-LS0575\O, Bullard, 3/20/13, as amended, out of committee with
individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal notes.

Special Committee on Fisheries.
10:22:44 AM
CHAIR SEATON drew attention to the committee packet and the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) handout
titled, "NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS-AFSC-244; Genetic Stock
Composition Analysis of Chinook Salmon Bycatch Samples from the
2011 Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska Trawl Fisheries," dated March
2013, which indicates that the origin of a significant quantity
of bycatch do not originate in Alaska but have been traced to
Canadian stocks.
REPRESENTATIVE JOHNSON pointed out that the memorandum is marked
as a draft and cautions "do not cite."
REPRESENTATIVE SEATON said NOAA has stated that the final of the
draft will be available in a few days, and it will be provided
to the committee members on arrival.
