WITNESS REGISTER
COURTNEY ENRIGHT, Staff
Representative Gabrielle LeDoux
Alaska State Legislature
Juneau, Alaska
POSITION STATEMENT: Discussed the changes in the proposed House
committee substitute (HCS) for SB 100, Version 30-LS0709\U,
Shutts, 5/11/17, on behalf of Representative LeDoux, chair of
the House Rules Standing Committee.
ACTION NARRATIVE
1:30:51 PM
CHAIR GABRIELLE LEDOUX called the House Rules Standing Committee
meeting to order at 1:30 p.m. Representatives Stutes, Claman,
Eastman, and LeDoux were present at the call to order.
Representatives Reinbold and Kito arrived as the meeting was in
progress.
SB 100-MUNICIPAL LIENS: AUTHORITY FOR & PRIORITY
1:31:53 PM
CHAIR LEDOUX announced that the only order of business would be
SENATE BILL NO. 100, "An Act relating to municipal liens."
1:32:00 PM
REPRESENTATIVE CLAMAN moved to adopt the House committee
substitute (HCS) for SB 100, Version 30-LS0709\U, Shutts,
5/11/17, as a working document. There being no objection,
Version U was before the committee.
1:32:31 PM
COURTNEY ENRIGHT, Staff, Representative Gabrielle LeDoux, Alaska
State Legislature, on behalf of Representative LeDoux, explained
the changes to SB 100 proposed under Version U. First, Version
U would allow a second-class borough to establish an emergency
service area encompassing a state highway corridor and publicly
owned property along it. Second, Version U would allow a
municipality to provide a property tax exemption for a specified
period, rather than five years at a time, and broaden the
criteria for property that can get a tax exemption. Finally,
Version U would change the property tax exemption for sprinkler
systems from mandatory to optional.
1:33:44 PM
REPRESENTATIVE EASTMAN moved to adopt Amendment 1, which read as
follows:
Page 4, line 2, following "fees":
Insert "if the fees were accrued after the
municipality provided opportunity to opt out of the
utility service"
REPRESENTATIVE CLAMAN objected.
REPRESENTATIVE EASTMAN spoke to Amendment 1. He said there is a
concern regarding the ability, under SB 100, of municipalities
to put liens on properties for purposes of utilities, and he
indicated this concern is accompanied by the opinion that
municipalities should not be allowed to do so if a property
owner has never used and has no intention of ever using the
utility. He said Amendment 1 would provide the opportunity a
property owner to declare he/she is not using a service and
therefore does not want to pay for it.
1:34:54 PM
REPRESENTATIVE CLAMAN maintained his objection.
1:34:59 PM
A roll call vote was taken. Representative Eastman voted in
favor of Amendment 1 to Version U. Representatives Stutes,
Kito, Reinbold, Claman, and LeDoux voted against it. Therefore,
Amendment 1 failed to be adopted by a vote of 1-5.
1:35:31 PM
REPRESENTATIVE CLAMAN moved to report HCS for SB 100, Version
30-LS0709\U, Shutts, 5/11/17, out of committee with individual
recommendations and the previous zero fiscal notes. There being
no objection, HCS SB 100(RLS) was reported out of the House
Rules Standing Committee.
1:36:20 PM

CHAIR GABRIELLE LEDOUX recessed the House Rules Standing
Committee to a call of the chair on Saturday, May 13, 2017, at
