POSITION STATEMENT: Sponsor of HB 298.
ACTION NARRATIVE
3:30:01 PM
CHAIR SHELLEY HUGHES called the Senate Community and Regional
Affairs Standing Committee meeting to order at 3:30 p.m. Present
at the call to order were Senators Hoffman, Myers, Wilson, and
Chair Hughes.
HB 298-ALASKA FOOD STRATEGY TASK FORCE
3:30:32 PM
CHAIR HUGHES announced the consideration of CS FOR HOUSE BILL
NO. 298(CRA) am "An Act establishing the Alaska Food Strategy
Task Force; and providing for an effective date."
[SCS CSHB 298, work order 32-LS1398\I, was before the
committee.]
CHAIR HUGHES asked the sponsor if she had any closing remarks on
HB 298.
3:30:52 PM
REPRESENTATIVE LIZ SNYDER, Alaska State Legislature, Anchorage,
Alaska, sponsor of HB 298, thanked the committee for its work on
the bill and said she was happy to answer any remaining
questions.
3:31:06 PM
CHAIR HUGHES commented that HB 298 dovetails nicely with the
governor's work on food security, picking up where that project
left off. Boondoggles and mega projects have failed in the past
and the legislature does not want that to happen again. To that
end, HB 298 makes a concerted effort to include industry
participation. She noted her initial concern about the size of
the Alaska Food Strategy Task Force but said she now believes it
will work because the executive committee has just nine members.
CHAIR HUGHES found no further questions or comments and
solicited the will of the committee.
3:31:48 PM
SENATOR MYERS moved to report HB 298, work order 32-LS1398\I,
from committee with individual recommendations and attached zero
fiscal note(s).
3:32:07 PM
CHAIR HUGHES found no objection and SCS CSHB 298(CRA) was
reported from Senate Community and Regional Affairs Standing
Committee.
3:32:33 PM
There being no further business to come before the committee,
Chair Hughes adjourned the Senate Community and Regional Affairs
Standing Committee meeting at 3:32 p.m.
