Proposing amendments to the Constitution of the State
of Alaska relating to the budget reserve fund, and to
appropriations to and transfers from the fund; and
dedicating a portion of the petroleum production tax to
the fund.
Co-Chair Hoffman MOVED to ADOPT Senate Committee Substitute
for CS HJR 28, work draft 25-LS1217\N as the working
document before this Committee. There being NO OBJECTION,
work draft 25-LS1217\N was adopted.
REPRESENTATIVE RALPH SAMUELS presented the bill history. He
reported that the original bill introduced the creation of a
separate funding account apart from any other current
account. This account would take the progressivity money
from the petroleum tax and for five years force it
constitutionally into this new account to provide an
endowment style payout between 4.5 and 5 percent. This
account would consist of money from today's oil and would
not allow this or the next generation of legislators to
spend it. Representative Samuels declared that as oil
production declines in the future, this account would help
share the wealth for future generations.
9:18:07 AM
Representative Samuels continued that the bill evolved by
taking more of the today's money and incorporating it into
the Constitutional Budget Reserve to also share the wealth
generationally. He stressed that as production continues to
decline and the budget continues to rise, the easiest way
out is to take the Constitutional Budget Reserve money and
not make any fundamental changes. He warned that the longer
the state waits to discuss fiscal responsibility the harder
the choices will be. He noted that the House took the entire
Constitutional Budget Reserve and put it into an endowment
program. A solution arrived at between the House and the
Senate is reflected in the new Committee Substitute. This
would split the Constitutional Budget Reserve where half
would be remaining with the three-quarter vote money and the
other half would be the endowment money concept of this
bill. The payout of the endowment money would still be at
five percent with a five year rolling average that would not
start until the three-quarter money was spent down to $1
billion. He reiterated that the point was to make sure the
endowment keeps gaining as much money as possible before the
five percent is taken.
9:21:25 AM
Representative Samuels defended the idea of saving as much
money as possible to let the interest accrue. The point of
having a trigger at $1 billion is that the Legislature will
spend the money down in the three-quarter vote money before
the payout starts at the five percent of whatever is in the
endowment. The Legislature would have the prerogative to add
money to either account each year. He noted that another
part of the Committee Substitute changes the vote from
three-quarter to two-thirds. Also there is no longer any
constitutionally forced progressivity money into the
account; it would be Legislative prerogative. Every future
Legislature and Administration would determine what would be
done with the surplus funds.
9:24:48 AM
Representative Samuels referred to Tam Cook online to review
the sectionals.
9:25:32 AM
Co-Chair Stedman reviewed the fiscal notes.
AT EASE: 9:26:01 AM
RECONVENED: 9:26:15 AM
Co-Chair Stedman expressed his concern running with a $4
billion general fund operation which has been growing at an
unsustainable rate of about ten percent which they are
trying to rein back to three or four percent. He stressed
that the state's operating expenses will continue to grow
with time and it is unrealistic to think it will be cut
back. Co-Chair Stedman believed that by tying up all the
savings would put the state in the position, should there be
a volume disruption or price decline, of having to go to the
earning reserves of the Permanent Fund to make a substantial
withdrawal for the operating side of the state. He cautioned
that keeping some liquidity in the money was necessary for
the Legislature to address these concerns.
9:29:18 AM
Senator Elton questioned if Section 1 states that all money
received by the state after July 1, 1990, not already
deposited in the Permanent Fund, would go into the endowment
account of the Constitutional Budget Reserve.
Representative Samuels replied that this provision or
litigation money was put into the Constitutional Budget
Reserve.
Co-Chair Stedman requested a breakdown of the Constitutional
Budget Reserve.
9:30:54 AM
Senator Thomas asked for an explanation of the language on
page 2, line 7 "except as invested for."
9:31:32 AM
TAM COOK, DIRECTOR, LEGISLATIVE LEGAL SERVICES, LEGISLATIVE
AFFAIRS AGENCY testified via teleconference and responded
that the language is intended to say that money can not be
transferred from the primary account except to the extent
that money is transferred for investment in that account.
They would pay money to buy investments such as mutual
funds.
9:33:06 AM
Senator Dyson remarked that part of his enthusiasm for the
bill concerned a forced discussion of what to do about more
revenues. He assumed that part of the discussion should or
could be if they were going to use part of the earnings
reserve account for the purpose it was originally created to
produce income that could be used to sustain some level of
government after the oil revenues were gone or greatly
diminished.
9:34:16 AM
Representative Samuels remarked that many groups have worked
on this discussion including himself, Representative Mike
Doogan and Representative Harry Crawford. They all agree
that the longer the Legislature waits to have this
discussion the higher the budget and the deeper the debt. He
believed that saving the money now will benefit the state in
the long run. He noted that debates on income tax and sales
tax are frequent, but unpopular discussions. He believed
budget cuts would affect rural community more than a broad-
based tax.
9:38:15 AM
Representative Samuels stressed again that the longer the
Legislature waits to make a decision with what to do with
the oil reserve money, the worse the economic reality
becomes.
9:38:49 AM
Senator Dyson agreed that Alaska needs to have a "rainy day"
account accessible without the politics but is now in favor
of the previous version of the bill because it would force
the government to have the discussions.
Representative Samuels concluded that money could also be
taken off the table by having a spending limit.
9:40:52 AM
JERRY BURNETT, DIRECTOR, DIVISION OF ADMINISTRATIVE
SERVICES, DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE talked with the Commissioner
and agrees that this Committee Substitute takes care of most
concerns and the lack of liquidity in managing the money.
Co-Chair Stedman inquired if the Department has any dollar
estimates of what they would like set aside in cash.
9:42:23 AM
Mr. Burnett remarked that the department manages currently
to have an average of $1 billion in the Constitutional
Budget Reserve for cash flow purposes. This amount will grow
and is reasonable. He believed that setting the $4 billion
in each account would provide a lot of comfort.
9:43:35 AM
Senator Elton wondered what other concerns the department
might have.
Mr. Burnett remarked that they would return to the Committee
if they see any new concerns.
9:44:03 AM
Mr. Burnett reported that the new spring forecasts should be
out soon.
9:45:02 AM
CS HJR 28 (FIN) was HEARD and HELD in Committee for further
consideration.
AT EASE: 9:45:35 AM
RECONVENED: 9:57:32 AM
CS FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 147(FIN)
"An Act relating to matching funds and state money for
state tourism marketing contracts with trade
associations; and providing for an effective date."
Co-Chair Stedman remarked this is the bill's second hearing
to clear up concerns expressed by Senator Hoffman and
Senator Elton. The concerns have been resolved.
Co-Chair Stedman reviewed the fiscal note.
Senator Hoffman MOVED to REPORT out of Committee CSHB 147
(RLS) with individual recommendations and accompanying
fiscal note. There being NO OBJECTION, it was so ordered.
CS HB 147 (RLS) was REPORTED out of Committee with no
recommendations and a previously published fiscal note from
Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development.
AT EASE: 9:59:50 AM
RECONVENED: 10:00:48 AM
CS FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 281(RLS) am
"An Act requiring candidates to disclose certain
information about all contributors under AS 15.13;
relating to the preservation of records required to be
kept by candidates, groups, nongroup entities, or
persons under AS 15.13; relating to records required to
be kept by certain lobbyists and persons who employ,
retain, or contract for the services of lobbyists;
relating to complaints filed with the Select Committee
on Legislative Ethics; relating to administrative
complaints filed with the Alaska Public Offices
Commission; relating to the statute of limitations for
civil actions brought under AS 39.50; extending the
statute of limitations for prosecutions of violations
of the Alaska Election Code; and providing for an
effective date."
10:01:17 AM
Co-Chair Hoffman MOVED to ADOPT a Senate Committee
Substitute for CSHB 281 (FIN), work draft 25-LS1115\D as the
working document before this committee. There being NO
OBJECTION, work draft 25-LS1115\D was adopted.
AT EASE: 10:01:32 AM
RECONVENED: 10:02:58 AM
REPRESENTATIVE BOB LYNN presented an overview of the Sponsor
Statement:
House Bill 281 strengthens oversight of Alaska's ethics
laws by allowing the state's watchdog agencies more time
to receive complaints and properly investigate alleged
violations. It also establishes an adequate time period
for the retention of records related to those complaints.
This act covers the four areas of oversight assigned to
the Alaska Public Offices Commission and the Select
Committee on Legislative Ethics: campaign disclosures (AS
15.13), lobbying (AS 24.45), legislative financial
disclosure (AS 24.60) and public official financial
disclosure (AS 39.50)
HB 281 creates a standard statute of limitations of five
years for complaints that can be filed with APOC and the
Select Committee. It also codifies a period of six years
for the retention of records required under these
sections.
By allowing a reasonable amount of time to receive
complaints and conduct investigations, HB 281 helps APOC
and the Select Committee accomplish their missions of
ensuring the public's confidence in elected and appointed
officials, and preserving the integrity of the
legislative process.
This bill is an important follow-up to the recent efforts
to shore up the Foundation of Trust between Alaskans and
their government, which took a big step forward last year
when the governor and the legislature passed a landmark
ethics bill.
10:04:23 AM
Senator Elton referred to Section 4, page 3, where it
changed the requirement for a lobbyist or a person who
contracts for a lobbyist. He inquired why it was six years
there and five years elsewhere in the bill.
10:04:51 AM
MICHAEL SICA, STAFF, REPRESENTATIVE BOB LYNN explained that
in the past APOC when having a statute of limitations for
one year through regulations would then have two years for
retention of records. The additional year for records to be
retained would help with the associated statute of
limitations. The six years of retention dovetails with the
five years allowed for the complaint of an alleged
violation.
10:05:49 AM
Senator Huggins inquired if there were any violations or
concerns that made the two year requirement inadequate.
Representative Lynn responded that although he did not have
the actual numbers it did cause some concern.
Mr. Sica remarked that there has been past testimony that
the two years was inadequate. He remarked that the five
years seemed like a standard uniform statute of limitations
for all codes overseen by the agencies.
10:06:54 AM
Senator Olson questioned if this was a comparable time with
other complaints related to non-elected officials throughout
the state.
10:07:11 AM
Mr. Sica responded he could not think of any similar codes
but some alleged violations do have five year statutes of
limitations.
Senator Olson inquired how other states deal with APOC type
complaints.
Mr. Sica responded that the time varies from state to state.
10:08:17 AM
Senator Elton MOVED TO REPORT out of Committee SCS CSHB 281
(FIN) from Committee with individual recommendations and
accompanying fiscal notes.
SCS CSHB 281 (FIN) was REPORTED out Committee with a "do
pass" recommendation, and accompanying previously published
fiscal notes from the Legislative Affairs Agency, the
Department of Administration, and the Department of Law.
AT EASE: 10:09:00 AM
RECONVENED: 10:25:11 AM
CS FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 200(FIN)
"An Act relating to the presumption of coverage for a
workers' compensation claim for disability as a result
of certain diseases for certain fire fighters."
Co-Chair Stedman signified that the was the first hearing of
the bill with the intention of hearing from the bill
sponsor, take public testimony and act on the will of the
Committee.
10:25:35 AM
JENNIFER BAXTER, STAFF, SENATOR NANCY DAHLSTROM, presented
an overview of the sponsor statement:
House Bill 200, "An Act relating to the presumption of
coverage for a workers' compensation claim for
disability as a result of certain diseases for certain
occupations," establishes a presumption in the Worker's
Compensation program for professional and volunteer
firefighters who have had a qualifying medical exam and
have been on the job at least seven years.
It grants benefits to firefighters stricken with
certain types of cancer and heart disease due to their
exposure to toxic chemicals, and high levels of carbon
monoxide. Silent killers like asbestos and benzene can
appear after they leave the job. The requirements of
this bill are that the claims must be made within five
years after the last day of employment.
In addition to firefighters, first responders deserve
protection for the health and safety risks they live
with in order to keep us safe. HB 200 also includes a
presumption that compensation for certain disabilities
resulting from blood born pathogens be covered.
Arguments have been made that this coverage would be
exorbitantly expensive; however this has not been the
case in other states. For example, the state of
California has over 30,000 paid firefighters and more
than 30,000 volunteers, but the addition of cancer
presumptive benefits has had no impact on the actuarial
assumptions system for its retirement system.
Firefighters and first responders take great risks
every day to protect our lives and the lives of our
loved ones. They are regularly exposed to dangerous
elements such as carcinogenic substances, carbon
monoxide and contaminated blood that can lead to
chronic and debilitating illnesses later in their life.
A great deal of thought has been put into this
legislation in order to create defined parameters of
who qualifies for these benefits.
10:26:49 AM
Senator Huggins requested further explanation of negative
lifestyle habits.
Ms. Baxter described that if a firefighter is a smoker this
might be considered a negative lifestyle for cancer
coverage.
Senator Huggins inquired if a firefighter gained a great
deal of weight over the years could this be a factor in a
negative lifestyle.
Ms. Baxter responded that physical fitness and weight is
listed in the bill as a preponderance of evidence that could
be rebutted.
10:28:37 AM
Co-Chair Stedman wondered how prostate cancer, listed on
page 2, line 13 fits into the cancer list.
Ms. Baxter responded that fire fighters have a greater
number of cases than the national average.
Co-Chair Stedman noted that the theory is that most males if
they live long enough might develop prostrate cancer.
10:29:27 AM
Ms. Baxter pointed out that could probably be rebutted in a
claim case.
Senator Olson questioned how a firefighter's family history
of diseases would fit into the rebuttal for non-coverage.
10:30:01 AM
Ms. Baxter responded that this bill takes it off the
employees and puts it on the employer to prove but an
employee's family history could be taken into consideration
before a claim is settled.
Co-Chair Stedman reviewed the two indeterminate fiscal
notes.
10:30:37 AM
Senator Thomas mentioned that heredity factors are
referenced in the bill.
10:30:51 AM
MARK DRYGAS, PRESIDENT, ALASKA PROFESSIONAL FIRE FIGHTERS
ASSOCIATION testified via teleconference and spoke in
support of the bill. He reiterated the firefighters are
subject to various cancers and respiratory diseases at a
higher rate than the general public.
10:32:23 AM
Senator Huggins suggested that more than fifty percent of
males in the general public will get prostrate cancer so he
wondered how much higher are the statistics for
firefighters.
Mr. Drygas responded that prostrate cancer in fire fighters
occurs at a higher rate and at a younger age than the
general public.
10:33:18 AM
Senator Huggins requested the statistics of a higher rate.
Mr. Drygas replied he did not have the numbers available. He
remarked that the information was received through
researching other state's disability coverages.
10:34:19 AM
Senator Olson agreed with the Co-Chair Stedman that all men
risk prostrate cancer if they live long enough but did agree
that among firefighters the numbers were significantly
higher at a younger age.
10:34:55 AM
Ms. Baxter informed the Committee that the cancer list was
developed because studies showed firefighters had a one and
one-half to four times greater risk than the general public
at a much younger age. It is written in the bill that the
firefighter must have been on the job at least seven years
and the coverage only extends for five years after they
leave the job.
10:35:57 AM
AT EASE: 10:36:07 AM
RECONVENED: 10:36:33 AM
10:36:35 AM
KEVIN SMITH, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ALASKA MUNICIPAL LEAGUE
JOINT INSURANCE ASSOCIATION testified via teleconference. He
explained that the members of this insurance association
pool together to cover the first half million dollars of
each worker's compensation claim and purchase reinsurance to
statutory limits above that amount. In his opinion, this
bill is about asking municipalities to pay extra by placing
firefighters in a special category separate from other state
workers. He believed this is bad public policy and the
health statistics are not supported by science. He argued
that the costs of the bill are difficult to determine as
many diseases and cancers are treated at different costs. He
stressed this bill would be a significant cost increase to
municipalities.
10:40:21 AM
Mr. Smith related that many communities in Alaska use
volunteer firefighters because they can not afford full time
paid staff but they still need to purchase workman's
compensation for their volunteers. The rates for volunteers
will have to increase to cover presumptions in this bill. He
warned that if small municipalities can not afford to pay
full time firefighters, they would find it difficult to pay
the additional costs this bill would incur. He emphasized
that the bill should be restricted to full time fire
fighters and not volunteers.
10:42:38 AM
Senator Huggins asked Mr. Smith about the gender specific
prostrate cancer when more women are entering the field. He
questioned if there was any statistics concerning women
firefighters.
Mr. Smith replied that he was not aware of any gender
specific health studies for female firefighters.
10:43:53 AM
Senator Huggins requested the information from the bill
sponsor.
Ms. Baxter agreed that this has been a male dominated field
in the past and she was not aware of any direct female
studies.
10:45:12 AM
Senator Huggins reminded the Committee that diseases do not
recognize the difference between full-time and volunteers
employees so he would not be in favor of eliminating
volunteers from the bill.
10:45:45 AM
JEFF BRIGGS, FIREFIGHTER, ALASKA PROFESSIONAL FIREFIGHTERS
ASSOCIATION spoke in support of the bill. He referred to the
written testimony from firefighters available to the
Committee. He reported that no Alaska citizen, not tied to
the insurance industry or government agency, had testified
against this bill in the past two years. Alaska is one of
nine states who do not have some sort of presumptive
legislation.
10:47:56 AM
Senator Olson inquired if the Alaska Municipal League had a
position on the question of smaller communities being able
to afford this additional worker compensation.
Ms. Baxter responded they have been opposed to the bill.
Mr. Briggs interjected that the Alaska Municipal League has
taken a neutral position on this bill.
10:49:36 AM
Co-Chair Hoffman MOVED to REPORT CSHB 200 (FIN) out of
