ACTION NARRATIVE
CHAIR JOHN COGHILL called the House Rules Standing Committee
meeting to order at 8:02:57 AM. Representatives Coghill,
Harris, Fairclough, Johnson, Samuels, and Kerttula were present
at the call to order.
HB 147-TOURISM CONTRACT MATCHING FUNDS
8:03:17 AM
CHAIR COGHILL announced that the only order of business would be
HOUSE BILL NO. 147, "An Act relating to matching funds in state
tourism marketing contracts with trade associations."
8:03:32 AM
REPRESENTATIVE SAMUELS moved to adopt CSHB 147, Version 25-
LS0560\K, Bannister, 2/28/08, as the working document.
CHAIR COGHILL objected.
8:03:54 AM
REPRESENTATIVE HARRIS, speaking as the sponsor of HB 147,
explained that Version K increases the total match amount to $9
million with the split remaining 70:30. The industry will still
be required to match with 30 percent. This merely means that $9
million is the total appropriation amount up to which the
industry can match. Representative Harris opined that it will
likely be difficult for the tourism industry to match that level
of funding.
8:05:45 AM
CHAIR COGHILL removed his objection. There being no further
objection, Version K was before the committee. He then noted
that there is a new fiscal note.
8:06:33 AM
SUZANNE ARMSTRONG, Staff, Representative Kevin Meyer, Alaska
State Legislature, explained that the appropriation required by
this fiscal note is $4.794 million, which is approximately the
difference between the House operating budget and what's
necessary to reach the $9 million for the Qualified Trade
Association (QTA) project.
CHAIR COGHILL noted that the provision sunsets in 2011.
MS. ARMSTRONG noted her agreement and added that in 2011 it will
return to a 50:50 match.
REPRESENTATIVE HARRIS explained that the industry would have to
receive the $9 million from the state and the industry would
have to raise $2.7 million to receive the full $9 million from
the state.
The committee took a brief at-ease.
8:08:22 AM
REPRESENTATIVE HARRIS moved to report CSHB 147, Version 25-
LS0560\K, Bannister, 2/28/08, out of committee with individual
recommendations and the accompanying fiscal notes. There being
no objection, CSHB 147(RLS) was reported from the House Rules
Standing Committee.
8:08:40 AM
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business before the committee, the House
Rules Standing Committee meeting was adjourned at 8:08:43 AM.
