Representatives Holmes, Gruenberg, Coghill, and Ramras were present at the call to order. Representatives Dahlstrom and Samuels arrived as the meeting was in progress. SB 101 - GUARDIANSHIP/CONSERVATORS/INCAPACITY 1:32:51 PM CHAIR RAMRAS announced that the only order of business would be CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 101(2d L&C), "An Act relating to private professional conservators, private and public guardians, and court hearings on the issue of incapacity; and establishing uniform adult guardianship and conservator jurisdiction and procedures." [Before the committee was the proposed House committee substitute (HCS) for SB 101, Version 25-LS0559\T, Bullard, 3/24/08, which was adopted as the work draft on 3/27/08.] CHAIR RAMRAS closed public testimony on SB 101. REPRESENTATIVE GRUENBERG relayed that in a meeting between himself, Deborah Behr, and Ernest Schlereth, they'd reached a compromise that would address Mr. Schlereth's concerns as expressed during the hearing on 3/27/08, and that Amendment 1 reflects that compromise. 1:34:23 PM REPRESENTATIVE GRUENBERG made a motion to adopt Amendment 1, which read [original punctuation provided]: Page 22, line 17: Insert: "Sec. 13.27.420. Relation to AS 13.26. Nothing in this chapter limits the rights of an incapacitated person available in a guardianship or conservatorship proceeding in this state under AS 13.26." CHAIR RAMRAS objected for the purpose of discussion. REPRESENTATIVE GRUENBERG relayed that Amendment 1 simply provides notice of what would ordinarily be the rule anyway, that being that unless there is a specific provision in the proposed Uniform [Adult Guardianship and Protective Proceedings Jurisdiction] Act, nothing in [proposed AS 13.27] is intended to limit the rights of an incapacitated person available in a guardianship or conservatorship [proceeding in this state] under AS 13.26. CHAIR RAMRAS removed his objection, and announced that Amendment 1 was adopted. 1:36:11 PM REPRESENTATIVE DAHLSTROM moved to report the proposed House committee substitute (HCS) for SB 101, Version 25-LS0559\T, Bullard, 3/24/08, as amended, out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal notes. There being no objection, HCS CSSB 101(JUD) was reported from the House Judiciary Standing Committee. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business before the committee, the House Judiciary Standing Committee meeting was adjourned at 1:36 p.m.
