ACTION NARRATIVE TAPE 02-19, SIDE A Number 0001 CHAIR NORMAN ROKEBERG called the House Judiciary Standing Committee meeting to order at 1:08 p.m. Representatives Rokeberg, Ogan, Coghill, Meyer, and Berkowitz were present at the call to order. Representatives James and Kookesh arrived as the meeting was in progress. HB Number 0057 CHAIR ROKEBERG announced that the first order of business would be HOUSE BILL NO. 281, "An Act relating to civil liability for providing alcoholic beverages to a person under 21 years of age; and providing for an effective date." Number 0069 REPRESENTATIVE MEYER, sponsor, noted that in Alaska as well as across the nation, underage drinking is a significant problem. He said that according to a study conducted in 2000, "people who begin drinking before age 15 are four times as likely to develop alcohol dependence, and more than twice as likely to develop alcohol abuse, than those who delay drinking until the legal age of 21." He added that statistics related to [fatal auto accidents] climb when a drunken teenager gets behind the wheel of a car. He remarked that the tragedy last July, which took the lives of three teenagers and police officer Justin Wollam, has highlighted the problems of underage drinking, drinking and driving, and adults providing alcohol to minors. REPRESENTATIVE MEYER explained that under 281 MS. WATTS said having such an outreach program would be an excellent idea, and opined that it should be part of a comprehensive prevention/education plan. In response to a question, she explained that while the Advisory Board writes the state plan for prevention and education, it is the Division of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse (DADA) that implements and oversees that plan. REPRESENTATIVE BERKOWITZ asked: "In your opinion, is that plan currently funded adequately?" MS. WATTS responded: I don't believe that we have adequate resources to get the message out to people to the extent necessary to be as effective as it could be, and we certainly also don't have adequate resources for [treatment services for underage drinkers], both on an outpatient and a residential basis. REPRESENTATIVE BERKOWITZ: "So it would be fair to say, based on what you have just told me, that if this legislature were truly interested and committed to reducing problems associated with alcohol, we would increase funding to those areas and those concerns." MS. WATTS said: "That's correct." REPRESENTATIVE MEYER mentioned that there is other legislation that would allow for a $100 fine to be assessed against everyone convicted of driving while intoxicated (DWI), with that money then going to various [law] enforcement agencies for the purpose of purchasing new equipment. Number 0708 CINDY CASHEN, Juneau Chapter, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), noted that in addition to being a member of MADD, she is also a "victim of drunk driving." She offered her condolences to the families of those killed in the aforementioned July tragedy. She explained that when a drunk driver killed her father a year ago, she had to go through the same experience, and she noted that such an experience ages a person. She opined that HB 281 supports this bill because "we feel that there will be, in the future, people who might have been killed by drunk driving who will remain alive; we'll never know who those people are but they will have invisible wings on them, so to speak - they will still be alive" - because of the effects of encouraged the committee to pass HB 281 would view. She mentioned that she has teenagers of her own and, thus, has a lot of teenagers coming in and out of her home, and she has noticed that kids really do consider drinking to be a rite of passage: "You find an adult, you score, and you bring home alcohol." Therefore, she opined, it really is necessary to send the message that this activity is not going to be tolerated. REPRESENTATIVE BERKOWITZ noted that strict liability is somewhat unusual in tort law, and asked for an explanation of what it means and for a description of other possible alternatives. Number 0976 MIKE FORD, Attorney, Legislative Counsel, Legal and Research Services Division, Legislative Affairs Agency, confirmed that strict liability is unusual wit regard to tort law, and explained that what it really does is remove one of the components that must normally be shown in order to collect civil damages. By including a "strictly liable provision," in order to make someone liable for civil damages, it will not be necessary to show that he/she was negligent or that his/her actions fell below the standard of a reasonable person. In response to a question, he indicated that the fact that a person committed the act is enough [to establish liability]. He noted that there are already similar provisions in law, referring to commercial fishing offenses as an example: "If you drift into a closed area, whether you intended to or not, you're liable." CHAIR ROKEBERG asked whether the hosts of a large social gathering could be held strictly liable if underage guests consumed alcohol at that gathering. MR. FORD, in response, explained that currently, civil liability only applies to "people who are licensed," so if a person is not licensed [to distribute alcohol], then he/she can not be held civilly liable for what happens as a result of providing alcohol to another person. He added, however, that it is still a crime under AS 04.16.051 to provide alcohol to a minor. He pointed out that HB civil liability to say that if a person, regardless of whether he/she is a licensee, provides alcohol to a minor, then that person could be held civilly liable. So, yes, he answered, the host of social gathering could be held civilly liable 281. provide alcohol to one's own child. REPRESENTATIVE OGAN surmised, then, that strict liability means that it does not have to be proven that the person providing alcohol to someone underage has "a culpable mental state." He asked whether there is any insurance available such as homeowner's insurance, for example, that would protect the social host who might be held civilly liable under AS 04.21.020: Nonlicensees illegally furnishing liquor to minors. - Given the plain language of this section and the absence of convincing contrary legislative history, the court cannot by statutory interpretation construe this section to be inapplicable to nonlicensees who illegally furnish liquor to minors. Chokwak v. Worley, 912 P.2d 1248 (Alaska 1996). He asked for an interpretation of this reference to inapplicability. MR. FORD said: "What there saying is [that] they can't read a civil liability provision into law when the law says there isn't one." REPRESENTATIVE BERKOWITZ said that according to his recollection, the Chokwak case involved an [underage] plaintiff who got drunk, got in an accident and was injured, and then sued the host of the party. He asked if that case could have been pursued for civil [damages] under exiting statute. MR. FORD initially indicated that it could not but added that he would research that case for a definitive answer. CHAIR ROKEBERG noted that he shared some of the concerns expressed about the strict liability standard. REPRESENTATIVE BERKOWITZ expressed a willingness to accept a negligent standard instead, adding that he thinks it is the appropriate standard. Number 1795 CHAIR ROKEBERG announced that HJR HB Number 1799 CHAIR ROKEBERG announced that the committee would next hear both HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 25, Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Alaska relating to initiative and referendum petitions; and HOUSE BILL NO. 213, "An Act relating to initiative and referendum petitions; and providing for an effective date." Number 1820 RANDY RUARO, Staff to Representative William "Bill" Williams, Alaska State Legislature, on behalf of Representative Williams, sponsor, said that [213 and scale" in comparison to some other states. In conclusion, he urged members to support [HB by Mr. Ruaro has been overturned by the [U.S. District Court - District of Idaho] November 2001 Idaho Coalition United et al. v. Pete T. Cenarrusa decision. Representative Berkowitz also noted that the Cenarrusa decision cited a U.S. Supreme Court case, Moore v. Ogilvie, 394 U.S. 814 (1969), which said: [It is] no answer to the argument under the Equal Protection Clause that this law was designed to require statewide support for launching a new political party rather than support from a few localities. This law applies a rigid, arbitrary formula to sparsely settled counties and populous counties alike, contrary to the constitutional ... theme of equality among citizens in the exercise of their political rights. The idea that one group can be granted greater voting strength than another is hostile to the one man, one vote basis of our representative government. REPRESENTATIVE BERKOWITZ mentioned that the Moore v. Ogilvie case was also cited in the 2000 U.S. Supreme Court case, Bush v. Gore, which said: "... we invalidated a county-based procedure that diluted the influence of citizens in larger counties in the nominating process." Therefore, Representative Berkowitz surmised, "we're in a legal posture now where the U.S. Supreme Court is, at the very least, hostile to the notion that we can [institute] geographically based requirements for initiatives." He asked Mr. Ruaro to comment. MR. RUARO noted that he did come across the Cenarrusa case, but his research indicated that that case is under appeal and that the "attorney for the state of Idaho" has expressed confidence in being able to overturn that decision. He relayed that the attorney said that the court misread Moore v. Ogilvie and that it dealt with a geographic requirement for a specific number of voters - 200 signatures from each of at least 50 of that state's less than that required number of voters in it, too large a percentage of signatures must be gathered. MR. RUARO pointed out that in contrast, [HB There is no reason that Republicans should lead the charge to deprive the voters of Alaska of their rights to initiative. In particular, [if] we - speaking as [a] Republican - want to elect a Republican governor at the next election and retain Republican seats in the newly reapportioned legislature, we cannot have a proposed constitutional amendment on the ballot that could allow our opponents to argue that Republicans want to deprive the voters of Alaska of their initiative rights. MR. ANDERS, speaking on his own behalf, said that in addition to being the chair of the Alaska Libertarian Party, he is the chair of "Anchorage Citizens for Implementing Medical Marijuana"; is the past chair and the current treasurer of "Freedom in Alaska"; and has worked on numerous initiatives in the state. He said that [HB expensive for "initiatives to proceed." supporters of the change proposed by [HJR 25], districts and gather anywhere from 700 to 1,000 signatures per district; this represents a 200 to 700 percent increase over the current requirements. He observed that it has not been demonstrated that the change proposed by [HB expensive than it currently is for someone from rural Alaska to put something on the ballot, he opined. CHAIR ROKEBERG pointed out that if the change proposed 213 and have a chance to vote on that change as well. Number 2014 KAREN BRETZ, Alaskans for Efficient Government, testified via teleconference. She explained that Alaskans for Efficient Government is the organization that sponsored the tax-cap initiative and the ballot initiative to move the Alaska State Legislature from Juneau to the Matanuska-Susitna Valley ("Mat-Su Valley"). She reminded the committee that the initiative process is guaranteed to Alaskan citizens by the Alaska State Constitution, and opined that HB you. CHAIR ROKEBERG noted that currently, two-thirds of the House districts have to be represented, whereas the change proposed by [HB districts. He asked: "Is it the 7 percent that troubles you?" MS. BRETZ said: "The entire bill troubles me; the spirit of the bill is restricting the rights of the people to petition the government, and I'm disturbed that the legislature is trying to restrict that [right]." Number 1855 UWE KALENKA, Alaskans for Efficient Government, testified via teleconference, and said simply that [HB problem that the sponsor is trying to fix. Making the signature phase harder is not going to make it fairer to the smaller communities; it's just going to make it harder for them to get things on the ballot. In the signature phase, she observed, people sign mostly just so that things will appear on the ballot, not necessarily because they support or oppose any given issue. She elaborated: "Out gathering signatures, you'll hear time and time again, 'I'm not sure if I'll agree, I'll sign just to get it on the ballot and vote on it.'" the reason people do this, she surmised, is because they support the initiative process; they want to have the debate, and decide and vote on the issues, themselves. She posited that the public does not want what they perceive to be a restriction on the initiative process. MS. KECK said that [HB asked whether this is because some of the signatures are illegible or because petitions are signed by people who are not registered voters. MS. KECK explained that petitioners ask people whether they are registered to vote before they are allowed to sign, but pointed out that because many people are in a hurry when they sign the petition, oftentimes what is hurriedly written on the petition does not appear to match what the Division of Elections has, and so those names gets thrown out. She noted that when address information no longer matches what the Division of Election has, those names also get thrown out, as do names in which use of a middle initial does not match. Because of these and other reasons, many names are thrown out, she said, remarking that there is no way to verify that a signature will be considered valid and thus count towards fulfilling the requirement. Number 1515 RYAN KENNEDY, Chairman, Anchorage Citizens for Taxi Reform, testified via teleconference, and after noting that he is a loyal Republican, said that he feels that there are a lot of problems with [HB HJR initiative process, adding that he does not see any reason to make such a change. He pointed out that the governor is elected by a simple majority of votes and does not have to garner a certain number of votes according to a geographical requirement. So why should the initiative process be any different, he asked. He opined that the only reason to adopt [25] process. He recounted that during the signature phase of the initiative that he was involved with, although he could collect signatures at the airport, he had to first be issued a permit and then was limited to a certain area and certain times. He also recounted that when he was filing for the permit, he was told that if the issuing agency did not agree with the subject of his initiative, he would not be issued the permit that would allow him to gather signatures at the airport. MR. KENNEDY noted that although the issuing agency later apologized for that statement and agreed that it did not have the right to limit Mr. Kennedy's right to petition his government, his point is that [HB I did want to point out two pieces of factual information that you might want to consider. And that is ... that Alaskan voters have spoken recently in two instances on the issue of restricting the initiative process. One, you will recall, was Ballot Measure 1, which was the ballot in November of 2000, and that was a proposed amendment to the [Alaska State] Constitution to restrict the initiative process so it could not be used to address wildlife issues. ... I'd like to remind you that that ballot measure failed overwhelmingly by 65 percent; in District 5, 74 percent of the voters voted it down. And I believe this was not so much an issue of voting for or against wolf control, this was an issue voting for or against limiting people's ability to use the initiative process - essentially what Alaskan voters would be addressing if [HJR that currently, 10 percent is required statewide, from 27 out of that one of the changes proposed by [HB HB Number 0833 CHAIR ROKEBERG announced that the committee would return to the hearing on HOUSE BILL NO. 281, "An Act relating to civil liability for providing alcoholic beverages to a person under 21 years of age; and providing for an effective date." Number 0800 MATT WILLIAMS, Officer, Anchorage Police Department (APD), testified via teleconference in support of HB REPRESENTATIVE MEYER asked Mr. Williams whether he had any indication of how often adults provide alcohol to minors. MR. WILLIAMS said: "Quite a bit. Now, ... somebody being arrested, and somebody being prosecuted, and somebody being convicted - that's another story." But almost every night, he added, there are reports of kids waiting in [liquor store] parking lots and of kids approaching adults to buy alcohol for them. It is a big problem that needs to be addressed in some manner other than the criminal realm; private citizens need to be held to a standard that makes them more accountable, he opined. In response to questions regarding public awareness, he confirmed that "word gets around," and he relayed that it already has to some extent because of public announcements made during the Justin Wollam Substation dedication. Number 0541 MARTI GREESON, Executive Director, Anchorage Chapter, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), said simply that MADD supports 281 as that MADD is willing to work on the issue of public education. Number 0457 CATHIE MAURO testified via teleconference and noted that when she first approached Representative Halcro in August, she was very concerned because the penalty for adults who provide alcohol to minors was still a misdemeanor, even when an ensuing accident results in death or injury. She relayed that at the time, she was not sure how she felt about the concept of imposing civil liabilities for that type of offense, but added that Representative Halcro assured her that the quickest way to get peoples' attention is through "their pocket books." explained: In going through this process - as a mother who lost her daughter, Heidi Weilbacher, in the accident July 9th, [2001] - I have come across things I have never, ever in my life thought I would come across as far as the expenses of just incredible stuff. There's ... the funeral expenses: the funeral home, the cemetery, the church, the flowers. And then to find out a month down the road, I need an estate attorney, and that's a $2,000 down payment. I'm thinking, "Why do I need an estate attorney for a 14-year-old girl that had $4.75 in her pocket?" This didn't make any sense to me, but then I found out I had to hire an insurance attorney also. This was another cost that blew me away. Then I found out that I had to run an ad in the Alaska Journal of Congress for three weeks straight about the death of my daughter, in case she owed anybody some money. That cost me another $350. It's these things that just keep cropping up that [are] just unbelievable to me. And now that the criminal has been sentenced, I will be able to get a copy of the police investigation report, which I have not been able to get until sentencing, ... [and] which was done just a little bit ago. ... For that report, it's going to cost me $135. And this is just eight months into this; ... you see where I'm going: I (indisc.) this bill fully. And I will do anything for you [Representative Meyer], and the rest of the group, to make this happen. I appreciate you waiting on us today, and your time and effort on this. Thank you. Number 0212 REPRESENTATIVE MEYER told Ms. Mauro that the committee appreciates her testimony on this issue. MS. MAURO thanked Representative Meyer for his support and encouragement. CHAIR ROKEBERG noted that seven members of the Wollam family were observing the meeting from the Anchorage Legislative Information Office (LIO), and he extended the committee's condolences to the Wollam family for their loss. He also said: Hopefully, the actions of the legislature and the people of the state of Alaska will reinforce their feelings that people care up here, and are seeking to right, as much as we can, the wrongs that have been foisted on them, and endeavor to keep other people from suffering as much as they have. REPRESENTATIVE BERKOWITZ, in response to questions, said he would like to work with the sponsor to see if they could find a way of addressing the issues raised. REPRESENTATIVE MEYER asked if it would be possible to change the standard from strictly liable to just [simple liability]. TAPE 02-20, SIDE A Number 0001 MIKE FORD, Attorney, Legislative Counsel, Legal and Research Services Division, Legislative Affairs Agency, opined that it would be possible to craft HB 281. 211 4th Street, Suite 102 href='/basis/Bill/Detail/22?Root=HB281'>HB 281. 1057 West Fireweed Lane, Suite 101 href='/basis/Bill/Detail/22?Root=HB281'>HB 281. name='HB281' href='/basis/Bill/Detail/22?Root=HB281'>HB 281 and /Detail/22?Root=HB213'>HB 213 and HJR 25 on behalf of href='/basis/Bill/Detail/22?Root=HB213'>HB 213 and HJR 810 West 10th Avenue href='/basis/Bill/Detail/22?Root=HB213'>HB 213 and HJR and provided remarks on behalf of Kenneth P.
