WITNESS REGISTER
HEATH HILYARD, Staff
Representative Cathy Tilton
Alaska State Legislature
Juneau, Alaska
POSITION STATEMENT: Presented the proposed conference committee
substitute (CCS) for HB 75, Version 29-LS0345\PP, Martin,
5/12/16, on behalf of Representative Tilton.
ACTION NARRATIVE
11:40:54 AM
CHAIR CATHY TILTON called the Conference Committee on HB 75
meeting to order at 11:40 a.m. Representatives Drummond,
Millett, and Tilton, and Senators McGuire, Hoffman, and Bishop
were present at the call to order.
HB 75-MARIJUANA ESTAB. REG; LOCAL ELECTION
11:41:29 AM
CHAIR TILTON announced that the only order of business would be
CS FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 75(JUD) am, "An Act relating to the
registration of marijuana establishments by municipalities;
relating to the definition of 'marijuana'; clarifying standards
for personal use of marijuana by persons 21 years of age or
older; prohibiting the public consumption of marijuana;
authorizing the registration of marijuana clubs; relating to
established villages and to local option elections regarding the
operation of marijuana establishments; and providing for an
effective date." and 2d SENATE CS FOR CS FOR HOUSE BILL NO.
75(RLS), "An Act relating to background checks for persons
applying to operate marijuana establishments; relating to
possessing, using, displaying, purchasing, growing, processing,
transporting, and transferring marijuana; relating to assisting
another person 21 years of age or older in activities related to
marijuana; relating to established villages and to local option
elections regarding the operation of marijuana establishments;
and providing for an effective date."
CHAIR TILTON stated that the Conference Committee on HB 75 was
operating under Uniform Rule 42; public testimony would not be
taken; and adoption of a conference committee report requires an
affirmative vote by a majority of the membership of each house.
She relayed that available for consideration was the proposed
conference committee substitute (CCS) for HB 75, Version 29-
LS0345\PP, Martin, 5/12/16. She recounted that at its previous
meeting on 4/13/16, the Conference Committee on HB 75 had failed
to adopt either CSHB 75(JUD) am or 2d SCS CSHB 75(RLS).
11:42:07 AM
SENATOR BISHOP moved to adopt the proposed conference committee
substitute (CCS) for HB 75, Version 29-LS0345\PP, Martin,
5/12/16, as a working document.
11:42:20 AM
SENATOR HOFFMAN objected for purpose of discussion.
11:42:43 AM
HEATH HILYARD, Staff, Representative Cathy Tilton, Alaska State
Legislature, presented the proposed conference committee
substitute (CCS) for HB 75, Version 29-LS0345\PP, Martin,
5/12/16, on behalf of Representative Tilton. He said Version PP
is a scaled down bill that includes three provisions that were
in both the latest House and Senate versions of the bill, as
well as one addition regarding bail schedules by the [Alaska]
Supreme Court.
MR. HILYARD stated Section 1 would establish a household plant
limit; it is derived from the Senate version limit of 12 plants
per household. Section 2 would stipulate that communities that
qualify as established villages would be included but could hold
a local election to "opt out." Section 3 would stipulate that
the exercise of municipal powers would be on a non-area-wide
basis, which means that boroughs would not be allowed to
supersede the decisions of cities within their boundaries.
MR. HILYARD said Section 4 would establish a provision for
holding a local option election and "repealing local option
elections if a community so chooses." He directed attention to
the last part of Section 4, on page 5, lines 20-22, which he
explained was the language that would allow the Alaska Supreme
Court to establish bail schedules for certain minor offenses
related to marijuana. He stated that Section 5 pertains to
definitions; Section 6 is the effective date.
11:44:25 AM
SENATOR HOFFMAN removed his objection to the motion to adopt the
proposed CCS for HB 75, Version 29-LS0345\PP, Martin, 5/12/16,
as a working document. There being no further objection,
Version PP was before the committee.
11:44:45 AM
SENATOR BISHOP moved that the Conference Committee on HB 75
recommend that the House and Senate adopt the proposed CCS for
HB 75, Version 29-LS0345\PP, Martin, 5/12/16, with upcoming
fiscal notes.
11:45:09 AM
A roll call vote was taken. Representatives Drummond, Millett,
and Tilton voted in favor of the motion to recommend that the
House and Senate adopt the proposed CCS for HB 75, Version 29-
LS0345\PP, Martin, 5/12/16, with upcoming fiscal notes.
Senators McGuire, Hoffman, and Bishop voted in favor of the
motion to recommend that the House and Senate adopt the proposed
CCS for HB 75, Version 29-LS0345\PP, Martin, 5/12/16, with
upcoming fiscal notes. Therefore, the motion passed by a vote
of 3:0 (House) and 3:0 (Senate).
11:45:41 AM
The committee took a brief at-ease at 11:45 a.m.
11:46:00 AM
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business before the committee, the
Conference Committee on HB 75 meeting was adjourned at 11:46
