ACTION NARRATIVE
REPRESENTATIVE PETE KOTT, ACTING CHAIR, called the House Labor
and Commerce Standing Committee meeting to order at 3:36:00 PM.
Representatives Crawford, Lynn, LeDoux, and Kott were present at
the call to order.
HB 377-EXEMPTION: RES. BLDG. DRAWINGS & SPECS
REPRESENTATIVE KOTT announced that the only order of business
would be HOUSE BILL NO. 377, "An Act relating to an exemption
from certain registration and practice requirements for persons
preparing drawings or specifications related to the construction
of certain buildings."
REPRESENTATIVE LYNN moved to adopt CSHB 377, Version 24-
LS1471\G, Bannister, 2/28/06, as the working document. There
being no objection, Version G was before the committee.
REPRESENTATIVE LYNN asked for an explanation of the changes in
the committee substitute (CS).
3:37:05 PM
MIKE PAWLOWSKI, Staff to Representative Kevin Meyer, Alaska
State Legislature, said that the CS is a correction of an
oversight in the original version of the bill. He explained
that in the original version, in order to be exempt from the
requirement of having [building] drawings done by a professional
architect or engineer, the building must be a four family home,
(which, he noted, is a 4-plex) not more than three stories high.
This was not consistent with the [International Building Code],
therefore, the CS changes this to a duplex, which houses two
families and is three stories high.
3:38:00 PM
BILL TAYLOR, Director, Colony Builders, explained that the
intent of HB 377 is to make state statute consistent with the
International Residential Code. He explained that the language
was changed for clarity, and commented that the legislation is a
"housekeeping" measure.
3:38:24 PM
REPRESENTATIVE KOTT noted that the Anchorage Home Builders
Association, Inc. (AHBA) supports the legislation.
3:38:36 PM
REPRESENTATIVE CRAWFORD moved to report CSHB 377, Version 24-
LS1471\G, Bannister, 2/28/06, out of committee with individual
recommendations and the accompanying fiscal notes. There being
no objection, CSHB 377(L&C) was reported from the House Labor
and Commerce Standing Committee.
3:38:56 PM
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business before the committee, the House
Labor and Commerce Standing Committee meeting was adjourned at
3:39:03 PM.
