Brief Summary and Statement of Need:
This annual project provides equipment replacement to
support the Village Public Safety Officer (VPSO) program.
The Department of Public Safety supports the VPSO program

property, and public peace in rural communities.
RN 35825
Marine Fisheries Patrol Improvements
FY2015 Request: $1,200,000
Brief Summary and Statement of Need:
This annual project is part of a joint enforcement
agreement (JEA) with the National Marine Fisheries Service.
The project is for federal fiscal year 2014 JEA. The JEA
federal funding has historically been part of the capital
budget since it primarily funds equipment, but it also
currently funds three positions. Federally regulated marine
fisheries occur on a year-round basis in the coastal and
offshore waters of Alaska. Both the federal and state
governments share an interest in ensuring these fisheries
are protected. This project will help the department
achieve its mission to ensure public safety and enforce

8:06:45 AM
RN 35688
Statewide Domestic Violence Shelter Improvements
FY2015 Request: $2,000,000
Brief Summary and Statement of Need:
This project provides state funds to leverage matching
funds from the Rasmuson Foundation, and possibly other
entities, to provide deferred maintenance improvements for
domestic violence shelters statewide. All domestic violence
shelters have deferred maintenance needs such as roof
repairs, window replacements, kitchen upgrades,
flooring/carpeting, furnishings, etc.
8:07:23 AM
Senator Hoffman requested a list of improvements made to
shelters in the previous fiscal year and which shelter
would benefit from the FY2015 funds.
Mr. Spencer said that he would provide the information.
8:07:50 AM
Vice-Chair Fairclough explained that Standing Together
Against Rape (STAR) would send a contractor out to each
shelter in order to determine the needs for each entity.
She wondered if the funding request would be enough to
support the 26 different programs across the state that
provided shelter for women and children facing in-home
violence.
Mr. Spencer relayed that a statewide assessment would be
done on all domestic violence shelters in the state and
then the necessary repairs and improvements would be
prioritized. The repairs and upgrades would then be handled
by a statewide group rather than turning the funding
directly over to the shelters. He understood that there was
potentially an amount of additional private funds that
could be added to the appropriation.
8:09:46 AM
Vice-Chair Fairclough understood that the Council on
Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault in coordination with
the Rasmuson Foundation would be providing the allocation
and not the state. She said that the state was trying to
fortify the shelter and was going to let the appropriation
be managed by the council.
Mr. Spencer replied that that was correct. He continued to
list the budget requests.
8:11:44 AM
RN 41788
Deferred Maintenance, Renewal, Repair and Equipment
FY2015 Request: $1,350,000
Brief Summary and Statement of Need:

Brief Summary and Statement of Need:
This project will upgrade and secure office entrances to
protect staff and provide electric system upgrades
statewide.
8:12:38 AM
Senator Olson looked at RN 6121: Aircraft Vessel Repair and
Maintenance. He asked for more information regarding moving
the P/V Stimson from Dutch Harbor to Kodiak.
Mr. Spencer responded that the items listed on the P/V
Stimson were routine and were not dependent on where the
vessel was based. He noted that there was a proposal in the
Operating Budget to move the vessel from its base in Dutch
Harbor to Kodiak, but the move would not affect Capital
Projects.
8:13:59 AM
Senator Olson spoke to RN 45300: Alaska Wildlife Troopers
Law Enforcement Equipment. He asked how much of the
equipment replacement and repairs was related to the number
of airplane accidents over the past few seasons.
Mr. Spencer did not believe that any of the repairs were
specifically related to accidents. He said that in the past
year, aside from one helicopter crash, there had been two
incidents with aircraft booth of which had involved prop
strikes.
Senator Olson asked whether the pilots of the prop strike
incidents had been given additional training or disciplined
in any way.
Mr. Spencer responded that he would look into the situation
and get back to the committee.
8:15:25 AM
Senator Olson wondered if the troopers were still signed up
with the Medallion Program.
Mr. Spencer agreed to provide the information at a later
date.
8:15:43 AM
Vice-Chair Fairclough noticed that many appropriations were
for maintenance. She asked how much money the department
was sitting on and whether they expended each of the funds
each year.
Mr. Spencer responded no. He elaborated that the department
often found itself in the situation where there was either
not enough funding in one particular year and other years
when there was additional funding. He said that the
department needed to have an amount of money available at
any particular point in time during any particular year. He
gave an example from years past.
Co-Chair Meyer handed the gavel to Vice-Chair Fairclough.

^FY 15 GOVERNOR'S BUDGET OVERVIEW: DEPARTMENT OF
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION
8:18:16 AM
THOMAS CHERIAN, DIRECTOR, DIVISION OF ADMINISTRATIVE
SERVICES, DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION,
discussed the FY15 Capital Budget requests for the
Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). He noted
that the total departmental request for RY15 was $69.3
million, 61 percent of which was funded by federal
agencies. He said that 5 percent came from other sources
and 34 percent was unrestricted general funds. He spoke to
the projects by reference number.
RN 41376
Village Safe Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Projects
FY2015 Request: $51,500,000
Brief Summary and Statement of Need:
This project provides financial and technical assistance to
rural communities to plan, design, and construct water and
sewer system improvements. 60% of the funding will provide
first-time service to communities while 40% will be used
for expansion, upgrade, and replacement of existing
service.
Mr. Cherian said that the appropriation would be allocated
to the following projects:
RN 497848
First Time Service Projects
FY2015 Request: $30,900,000
Brief Summary and Statement of Need:

FY2015 Request: $20,600,000
Brief Summary and Statement of Need:
This project provides grant funding for expansion, upgrade,
and replacement of existing service to communities to plan,
design and construct drinking water and sanitation
facilities.
8:20:49 AM
Senator Dunleavy queried the number of different approaches
to clean water and sanitation in rural areas of the state.
BILL GRIFFITH, FACILITY PROGRAMS DIRECTOR, DIVISION OF
WATER, DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION, explained
that there were standard designs for a number of major
system components like sewage lift stations and different
treatment processes, but there were other parts if the
systems that could not be standardized because of the
variation in the environment of different communities. He
said that the typical design life of the systems was 30
years and some of the existing systems had surpassed that
and were in need of an upgrade. He added that sometimes
systems did not last as long as they were expected, did not
work as well and intended, and faced environmental
challenges such as flooding.
8:22:17 AM
Senator Dunleavy asked how many communities were without
minimal water and sewer facilities.
Mr. Griffith replied that there were 34 communities that
were without running water and sewer; the department had
ongoing construction projects in four of the communities to
provide running water and sewer to homes, but the
department did not have current funding to bring water and
sewer to the remaining 30 communities.
8:23:02 AM
Senator Dunleavy asked whether the population of a
community was a determining factor for the department when
choosing projects.
Mr. Griffith replied that under the Village Safe Water Act
there was a definition of eligibility. The minimum number
of people in a community to make that community eligible
was 25. He added that it was not always feasible or
sustainable to construct a community water and sewer system
in a community larger than 25.
8:24:06 AM
Senator Olson wondered if communities with partial water
and sewer facilities were included in the 34 communities
cited.
Mr. Griffith responded that the department defined a
community that did not have running water and sewer as
fewer than 55 percent of the homes had running water and
sewer. He said that in the 30 that he mentioned, none of
the homes had water and sewer. He said that there were many
communities where more than 55 percent, but less than 100
percent, of the homes had running water and sewer.
8:25:02 AM
Senator Olson asked for the list of projects in priority of
spending.
Mr. Griffith agreed to provide a multi-year priority list
of the projects. He added that in addition to state funds
projects were funded every year through the Indian Health
Service some of which were administered by the department
and some by the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium.
8:25:39 AM
Senator Olson asked how the projects played into the
Village Safe Water Act projects.
Mr. Griffith responded that the department worked closely
with the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium and Indian
Health Service to identify projects; all three groups used
the same data base to identify necessary projects. A
scoring system was used for state funded projects and a
different set-up criteria was used for Indian Health
Service projects.
8:26:08 AM
Senator Dunleavy requested a list of projected annual
maintenance costs for the projects statewide.
Mr. Griffith agreed to provide the information.
8:27:08 AM
Mr. Cherian continued to discuss the budget requests.
RN 49697
Drinking Water Capitalization Grant - Subsidy Funding
FY2015 Request: $2,526,300
Brief Summary and Statement of Need:
The federal Drinking Water Capitalization Grant requires
states to issue 30% of the funding as subsidies (a loan
forgiveness process). This program functioned strictly as a
loan program until FY2011 when this provision was added to
the federal budget. In order to implement this provision,
an appropriation is necessary to properly record the loan
forgiveness payment as an expense in the Alaska Drinking
Water Fund. Future requests will remain at 30% of
capitalization grants.
8:28:07 AM
RN 49698
Clean Water Capitalization Grant - Subsidy Funding
FY2015 Request: $563,200
Brief Summary and Statement of Need:
The federal Clean Water Capitalization Grant requires
states to issue subsidies (a loan forgiveness process). The
subsidy amount required was identified under the grant
terms the Environmental Protection Agency has identified
for Alaska. This program functioned strictly as a loan
program until FY2011 when this provision was added to the
federal budget. In order to implement this provision, an
appropriation is necessary to properly record the loan
forgiveness payment as an expense in the Alaska Clean Water
Fund. Future funding requests will remain at a set
percentage of each year's capitalization grant.
RN 46714
Municipal Water, Sewage, and Solid Waste Facilities Grants
(AS 46.03.030)
FY2015 Request: $14,558,203
Brief Summary and Statement of Need:
This project provides funding for grants to larger
communities to plan, design, and construct drinking water
and sanitation facilities and the associated operating
costs of the Facility Construction component within the
Division of Water.
RN 54566
Deferred Maintenance, Renewal, Repair and Equipment
FY2015 Request: $200,000
Brief Summary and Statement of Need:
This project will address deferred maintenance items in the
state Environmental Health Laboratory Building. Examples of
immediate deferred maintenance needs in the lab include
water main back- flow backup, autoclave, door locks, and
window blast films.
SB 119 was HEARD and HELD in committee for further
consideration.
8:30:28 AM
AT EASE
8:32:16 AM
RECONVENED
SENATE BILL NO. 124
"An Act extending the termination date of the Council
on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault; and providing
for an effective date."
8:32:44 AM
EDRA MORLEDGE, STAFF, SENATOR KEVIN MEYER, explained that
SB 124 would extend the sunset date for the Council on
Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault.
8:34:30 AM
KRIS CURTIS, AUDITOR, DIVISION OF LEGISLATIVE AUDIT,
explained that the division had conducted an audit report
on the council and had determined that the council was
serving the public interest and should have the termination
date extended. She added that the report provided a summary
of the council's organization and function as well as their
funding sources. The division found that the council served
as a central coordinator for related services throughout
the state. She cited Page 16 of the audit provided a
schedule of operating expenditures and funding sources,
which had increased from FY09 through FY12. The increases
were the result of an FY12 addition of a prevention
coordinator, a reduction in staff vacancies, increased
funding through the governor's "Choose Respect" initiative
and additional focus on domestic violence and sexual
assault prevention. She explained that council funding
sources were comprised of federal funds, state general
funds, permanent fund dividends (PFD) for incarcerated
individuals, and inner agency receipts from the Departments
of Corrections, Health and Social Services and the Office
of the Governor. She relayed that there was a change in the
council's funding from FY11 to FY12 when PFD's for
incarcerated individuals were consolidated as a funding
source for the Department of Corrections and supplanted
with general funds. The audit identified 3 recommendations
for operation improvements and could be found on Page 11 of
the audit. The first recommendation was a continuation of a
prior finding from the 2005 sunset review of the council;
the recommendation was to improve coordination between
itself and the Department of Education and Early
Development Education (DEED) and the Department of Health
and Social Services (DHSS). During the current audit period
the division found that the council had significantly
improved coordination with DEED, to implement its fourth
"R" initiative, which is a school-based curricula designed
to include students, teachers, parents, and the community
in reducing violence and risky behaviors. However, the
council did not coordinate with DHSS to develop standards
and procedures. Because general standards and procedures
for healthcare providers and facilities delivering services
to domestic violence victims were developed over ten years
ago, and the council and the department did not coordinate
regarding continued delivery and ongoing availability of
the standards to healthcare providers, improved
coordination had been recommended. She stated that the
other two recommendations could be found on Page 13 of the
audit and were administrative in nature. First, it was
recommended that the council's executive director improve
procedures to post public notices; secondly, the council
director should improve grant award in monitoring policies
and procedures.
8:38:31 AM
Senator Olson wondered if there had been any significant
programs that had not been funded due to budgetary
constraints.
Ms. Curtis replied that the division had not identified
through the audit procedure any unfunded programs. She
noted that it had not been a focus of the review.
8:39:15 AM
Vice-Chair Fairclough noted that a response to the
recommendations from the executive director of the council
could be found on Pages 31 through 33 of the audit.
LAUREE MORTON, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, COUNCIL ON DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL ASSAULT, DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY,
spoke to the audit recommendations. She shared that the two
administrative recommendations had been addressed by the
council. She relayed that during the first meeting of 2014
the council would develop a schedule of meetings which
would be posted on the state public notice system. She said
that the council had established a routine where program
coordinators met on a quarterly basis to discuss program
quality control. She relayed that the council would be
meeting with DHSS in summer 2014. She pointed out that
although it was the responsibility of the council to
consult with the department, the burden was on the
department to get the work done.
8:41:45 AM
Senator Dunleavy wondered about stated program goals.
Ms. Morton replied that program goals could be found both
in the annual report and on their website.
8:42:37 AM
Senator Dunleavy asked whether the council had collected
data in order to determine if the goals were being
achieved.
Ms. Morton responded that the within the past year the
council had examined how the services had helped victims
and not only the amount of emergency transportations
provided. She said three areas were examined: interactions
with the legal system, processing the experience and
healing, and access and utilization of safety resources.
She shared that 2013 results had indicated that 80 percent
of the council's clients believed that their lives had
improved in those three areas. She stated that data was
collected for the Batter's Intervention programs by logging
the people who were referred to, attended, and completed
the program and whether they had gone back into the system
within one year. In addition, a survey examining attitudes
and longitudinal changes over time was administered at the
beginning, middle, and end of the program. She said that
prevention programs had evaluations that were specific to
each program; in 2014 the council would look into ways to
provide overarching goals that could weave prevention
efforts together.
Vice-Chair Fairclough pointed out to the committee that the
council's functions were outlined on page 5 of the audit.
8:45:32 AM
Senator Hoffman lamented that Alaska had the highest rate
of domestic violence in the nation. He asked if there were
areas of the state where statistics might be improving;
additionally, he queried areas that were seeing an
escalation in domestic violence.
Ms. Morton responded that the council looked at regions of
the state that through the 2010 statewide Alaska
Victimization Survey, which confirmed that 59 percent of
adult Alaska women had been victims of domestic violence or
sexual violence, or both. The council intended to repeat
the survey in 2015. Regional baseline surveys had been
conducted. She believed that a decrease in violence would
be noticed through prevention efforts, the changes in the
behavior of young people and community member interactions
would indicate whether change was occurring in the way
people treated each other. She said that 9,300 victims had
worked with the council in the past year, which had been
the average for the past several years. She believed that
instances would decrease as a result of prevention efforts
by the council.
8:48:04 AM
Senator Hoffman stressed that he was the most interested in
two area of the state that recently changed their alcohol
status: Kotzebue and Bethel. He remarked that there was
concern over the impact of alcohol on domestic violence and
sexual abuse.
Vice-Chair Fairclough shared that there were two pilot
programs for primary prevention.
Vice-Chair Fairclough CLOSED public testimony.
8:50:23 AM
Vice-Chair Fairclough discussed the fiscal note from the
Department of Public Safety. She noted the total operating
budget request of $17,762 for each year from FY 15 to FY
20.
8:51:07 AM
Vice-Chair Fairclough looked at Page 16, exhibit 3 of the
audit and noted that the travel for FY12 increased
dramatically. She queried additional cost increases
reflected on the fiscal note.
Ms. Morton explained that the travel increase was the
reflection of increased training activities. She said that
the council provided scholarships for participation. She
believed that the increase in commodity spending was due to
an increase in publications and materials for training. She
said that reimbursable service agreements were used for
services line items to give funding to other state
departments.
8:54:11 AM
Vice-Chair Fairclough noted that the audit reflected an
increase in personnel services of $150,000 between FY12 and
FY15.
Ms. Morton agreed to provide information on the increase at
a later date.

8:58:03 AM
RECONVENED
SENATE BILL NO. 132
"An Act relating to motor vehicle registration fees."
8:58:25 AM
TALLY TEAL, STAFF, SENATOR ANNA FAIRCLOUGH, offered the
sponsor statement for SB 132(copy on file):
Currently, Alaska Statute 28.10.411 exempts a resident
from a vehicle registration fee if they are over the
age of 65; however, the statute requires the resident
to be 65 "on January 1 of the year the vehicle is
registered." This requirement disqualifies individuals
who turn 65 later in the year from receiving the same
benefit as their peers.
Senate Bill 132 will allow any resident who is 65
years old at the time of registration to take
advantage of this fee exemption. It is important that
we clarify the intent to provide a lifetime vehicle
registration to Alaskans when they reach age 65.
8:59:43 AM
Senator Dunleavy asked if there were a minimal numbers of
vehicles that could be registered.
Ms. Teal replied that there was a maximum number: 1
vehicle.
9:00:32 AM
Senator Olson offered a conflict of interest because he was
over 65 years old.
9:00:48 AM
Senator Olson asked how many people would be affected by
the bill.
Ms. Teal responded that the number was unknown. She said
that there were just over 32,000 people who currently had a
vehicle registered under the exemption.
9:01:16 AM
Senator Olson wondered whether there would be undue
hardship caused by not passing the bill.
Ms. Teal replied that she did not know.
Senator Dunleavy queried the current cost of vehicle
registration.
Ms. Teal replied that it was $100 per vehicle.
9:01:51 AM
AMY ERICKSON, DIRECTOR DIVISION OF MOTOR VEHICLES,
DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATION (via teleconference),
explained that 32,425 seniors currently took advantage of
the senior exemption. She clarified that the registration
fee was $100, every two years, and did not include the
motor vehicle registration tax imposed in 16 communities
across the state.
Senator Dunleavy understood that the $100 fee was charges
per every qualifying senior.
Ms. Erickson responded that every Alaskan was charged $100
for vehicle registration, including seniors, unless they
took an exemption on one of their vehicles.
9:03:03 AM
Senator Dunleavy wondered how much the vehicle registration
fee grossed in 2013.
Ms. Erickson said she would get back to the committee with
the information.
Senator Olson wondered about married couples qualifying if
a spouse was below the age of 65.
Ms. Erickson responded that every senior would be entitled
one vehicle exemption.
Vice-Chair Fairclough CLOSED public testimony.
9:05:01 AM
Vice-Chair Fairclough looked at the zero fiscal note
attached to the bill. She felt that the fiscal note should
be considered "indeterminate."
9:05:37 AM
Senator Bishop MOVED to REPORT SB 132 out of committee with
individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal
note. There being NO OBJECTION, it was so ordered.
CS SB 132 (STA) was REPORTED out of committee with a "do
pass" recommendation and with previously published zero
fiscal note: FN1 (ADM).
9:05:57 AM
AT EASE
9:12:54 AM
RECONVENED
SENATE BILL NO. 109
"An Act extending the termination date of the
Citizens' Advisory Commission on Federal Management
Areas in Alaska; and providing for an effective date."
9:13:00 AM
Vice-Chair Fairclough returned the gavel to Co-Chair Meyer.
9:13:39 AM
CHAD HUTCHISON, STAFF, SENATOR JOHN COGHILL, explained that
SB 109 would extend the sunset date of the Citizen's
Advisory Commission of Federal Areas (CACFA). The extension
would be from June 30, 2014 to June 30, 2021. He provided
some background on the commission. He said that the
commission was currently particularly important because of
the federal executive branch's behavior as it related to
natural resource development and land access issues in the
state. He shared that the commission held hearings related
to land management and access, and natural resource
development. He related that the commission held 2 summits
in 2013 that were attended by several Alaskan politicians
concerned with federal overreach. He expounded on the many
ways the commission fought against federal overreach. He
shared that CACFA was creating and electronic database that
would analyze and review the Memorandums of Agreement
(MOA's) and Memorandums of Understanding (MOU's) between
state departments and federal agencies with the intend of
establishing a database that regular citizens could use to
understand potential legal repercussions when trying to
move forward with development on federal land. He spoke to
the benefits of the commission and of the database and of
the development projects championed by CACFA.
9:21:36 AM
SENATOR JOHN COGHILL, believed that the commission should
be extended. He warned that Alaska shared a lot of land
with the federal government and the state not having
legislation that established legitimate citizen input into
management and access issues would be a failure. He
asserted that the federal government had a different
perspective on land usage than the people of Alaska; the
federal government wanted to go from conservation to
preservation and the state wanted to go from production to
conservation. He believed that the commission was a good
forum for conversations between the state and the federal
government.
9:23:39 AM
Vice-Chair Fairclough wondered if the commission had ever
been audited.
Mr. Hutchison deferred to Mr. Leaphart.
Co-Chair Meyer stressed that many boards and commissions in
Alaska were subject to audit, but that the CACFA board was
not subject to audit.
Senator Olson queried the significant actions of the
commission over the years.
9:25:03 AM
Mr. Hutchison remarked that the most significant impact of
the commission related to the allowance of the public to
comment on land management plans. He added that the
recommendations provided by the commission had been
effective in changing policy as it pertained to natural
resource development issues. He said that without CACFA
there were no assurances that the federal government would
honor its MOA's and MOU's.
9:26:55 AM
Senator Olson asked if the list of members on Page 3 of the
annual report was up-to-date.
Mr. Hutchison responded in the affirmative.
Senator Olson wondered where Chokosna was located within
the state.
Mr. Hutchison deferred the question to Mr. Leaphart.
9:28:02 AM
STAN LEAPHART, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, CITIZENS' ADVISORY
COMMISSION ON FEDERAL AREAS IN ALASKA (via teleconference),
stated that Chokosna was located within Wrangell-St. Elias
National Park.
9:29:28 AM
Co-Chair Meyer noted that at the initial establishment of
the commission the budget was $246 million and was now up
to $285 million.
Mr. Leaphart explained that he was a full-time employee of
the commission and that the other position in the budget
was funded for 9.2 months of the year. He assumed that the
budget increase had been for additional travel costs and
standard inflation.
Co-Chair Meyer queried the job descriptions of the
commission's staff.
Mr. Hutchison responded that the 2 staff members created
recommendations, organized summits, organized committees,
exchange policy ideas with commissioners around the state,
and analyze the regulations and compendiums coming from the
federal government.
9:32:28 AM
Vice-Chair Fairclough wondered if the commission had a set
of bylaws.
Mr. Leaphart responded yes. He added that they were updated
in 2007 and could be provided to the committee.
9:33:06 AM
Vice-Chair Fairclough asked if the bylaws were available
online.
Mr. Leaphart responded that he did not know. He agreed to
update the website. He agreed to send a copy of the bylaws
to Vice-chair Fairclough.
Senator Hoffman wondered if the commission members had term
limits, and whether there were guidelines for membership
appointment.
Mr. Leaphart responded that the regional appointments were
staggered. He remarked that the statutory guidelines
specified that the federal land users must be
geographically represented. He explained that there were
various members from different areas across the state.
9:35:31 AM
Co-Chair Meyer queried the commission's relationship with
the Department of Law (LAW) and the Department of Natural
Resources (DNR).
Mr. Leaphart replied that the commission worked closely
with the DNR Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation
Act (ANILCA) coordination program.
9:37:55 AM
Co-Chair Meyer asked whether the commission would be
amenable to an audit.
Mr. Hutchison responded that he could offer no compelling
reason that an audit should not be done.
9:39:26 AM
JEAN DAVIS, DIRECTOR, SUPPORT SERVICES DIVISION, DEPARTMENT
OF NATURAL RESOURCES, stated that the commission could be
audited.
Co-Chair Meyer queried Ms. Davis's interaction with the
commission.
Ms. Davis replied that her primary role was in budget
creation. She said that she did not work directly with the
commission's program function.
Senator Bishop asked whether any of the members on the
commission represented any non-profits or native
corporations.
Mr. Leaphart responded that Mr. Frank Woods was a
commercial fisherman from Dillingham who worked for the
Bristol Bay Native Association.
9:41:44 AM
Senator Hoffman remarked that over 95 percent of private
lands in the state were owned by the native corporations.
He wondered how much of the focus of the commission was
related to oversight of private lands as in relation to
overreach by the federal government.
Mr. Leaphart replied that the commission placed significant
focus on the matter.
9:44:07 AM
Co-Chair Meyer CLOSED public testimony.
SB 109 was HEARD and HELD in committee for further
consideration.
SENATE BILL NO. 104
"An Act relating to appropriations from the dividend
fund; creating the criminal fund; and providing for an
effective date."
9:45:00 AM
SENATOR FRED DYSON, offered a brief history of the
legislation that lead to SB 104. He said that in 2012 there
was court ordered restitution of victims totaling $600,000;
approximately $70,000 was given to the Violent Crimes
Compensation Board for distribution to victims. He asserted
that there were millions in court ordered restitution that
had not been paid. He said that the legislation was a
vehicle that would make priorities clearer and provide a
method for the funds to be accumulated. He opined that that
the Department of Corrections (DOC) was using $13 million
per year to pay for inmate healthcare with none of the
funds going to victims. He said that with the passage of
the Affordable Care Act prisoners would be eligible for
Medicaid, which would allow for the department to receive
reimbursement. He offered that the governor supported the
bill. He said that the bill would clarify ambiguity in
existing law.
9:50:53 AM
JOSHUA BANKS, STAFF, SENATOR FRED DYSON, spoke to the
fiscal impacts of the bill. He remarked that there were six
fiscal notes currently attached to the bill, and only one
had fiscal impact. He said that the DOC fiscal note had
been written to be larger than anticipated, but would be
updated as new information was brought to light. He
believed that even with the fiscal note, based on
projections for the 2014 dividend, there would be minimal
negative fiscal impact to DOC.
9:52:01 AM
Senator Dyson referred to a report from Legislative
Research Services (copy on file). He lamented that the
mission that the legislature has clearly articulated in law
had been ignored.
Vice-Chair Fairclough requested a sectional analysis.
Mr. Banks explained the document, "Section Analysis - CS SB
104 (STA)" (copy on file):
Section 1
AS 43.23.028(a)(5)
Prioritizes by order of importance the legislative
purposes for making certain individuals under AS
43.23.005(d) ineligible for a PFD to be: compensation
for crime victims, child support arrearages, court-
ordered rehabilitation programs, and other
incarceration or probation costs.
AS 43.23.028(a)(7)
References a new section of law to be used to
determine which agencies can receive money from the
Criminal Fund.
AS 43.23.028(b)
Adds language to allow money from the criminal fund to
go to the purposes listed in this section, after the
appropriation to the criminal fund.
Section 2
AS 43.23.031
A new section in law is created to deal with
appropriations from the criminal fund:
1. Section (a) sets the priority order for how the
money in the criminal fund should be appropriated and
the departments that should receive the money.
2. Sections (b) states that by October 1 of each year
the Violent Crimes Compensation Board will send to the
Office of Management and Budget the total amount of
compensable claims from the previous fiscal year and
the operating costs of the VCCB.
3. Section (c) states that by October 1 of each year
the child support services agency will report to the
Office of Management and Budget the total amount of
money owed towards child support arrearages of
incarcerated individuals.
4. Section (d) states that the Department of
Corrections will report to the Office of Management
and Budget the total amount of money owed towards
court-ordered drug or alcohol treatment.
5. Section (e) provides that the Office of Management
and Budget will use the amounts reported by each
department in sections (b)-(d) and the total amount of
money in the criminal fund under AS 43.23.028(a)(6) to
determine how much money should go to each department.
6. Section (f) states that the Office of Management
and Budget will send a report to the Legislature at
the same time the Governor submits the Operating
Budget listing the size of the appropriation to each
agency.
Section 3
AS 43.23.048
A new section is put into law to statutorily create
the Criminal Fund as an individual account within the
dividend fund consisting of money that would have been
paid to felons and certain misdemeanants had they not
been made ineligible under AS 43.23.005(d). This
section also emphasizes that the money in the Criminal
Fund may be appropriated in accordance with AS
43.23.031. Finally, this section states that it does
not create a dedicated fund in violation of Article IX
Section 7 of the Alaska State Constitution.
Section 4
AS 43.23.055
1. Subsection (6) is amended to allow the Department
of Revenue to create new regulations that are
necessary to implement the Department's new
responsibilities in AS 43.23.031.
2. Subsection (11) is added to give the child support
services agency the authority to use the list of
ineligible individuals to determine the amount of
child support arrearages owed by these individuals.
Section 5
This section provides that this bill will take effect
on July 1, 2014.
9:57:57 AM
Senator Hoffman asked whether there was a timeframe for
when the perpetrator would have their dividend reinstated.
Mr. Banks responded that under AS 43.23.005 an incarcerated
felon, third-time misdemeant, or a misdemeant with a prior
felony, would be ineligible to receive a dividend until
released from jail.
9:59:17 AM
Vice-Chair Fairclough asked how money got into the fund.
Mr. Banks deferred the question to the Permanent Fund
Division. He said that there was a list from DOC and the
Department of Public Safety (DPS) that DOR used to
determine which inmates should have their dividends
deposited into the criminal fund.
10:00:38 AM
Vice-Chair Fairclough asked how the dividends could help to
pay child support for the children of those incarcerated if
the inmates failed to apply for the permanent fund. She
wondered about the children of parents who did not apply
for the dividend, could the child collect their dividend
retroactively.
Senator Hoffman interjected that the child would not be
able to apply for the retroactive dividends until they
reached the age of 18. He thought that those children would
have expenses before the age of 18 and should not be
punished for their parents neglect. He opined that the
issue had yet to be addressed, even for children whose
parents were not incarcerated.
10:02:11 AM
Vice-Chair Fairclough stressed that the bill referred to
individuals who were leaving incarceration. She wanted to
understand the formula of how the money would be
distributed.
Mr. Banks deferred the question to LAW.
Senator Hoffman remarked that the department could apply on
behalf of the child for their parent's dividend if the
parent was delinquent in their child support payments.
Vice-Chair Fairclough reiterated he desire to understand
how money would be dropped into the fund.
10:04:12 AM
Co-Chair Meyer queried how the priority list for
distribution of the funds was established.
Mr. Banks responded that distribution was the per-view of
the legislature and the governor. He cited Page 3 of the
bill which listed the agencies that were currently eligible
to receive money from the criminal fund. He believed that
for budgetary purposes the CDVSA had opted to not receive
money from the criminal fund.
10:06:09 AM
Senator Dyson stressed that under the concept of victim
restoration the court would order that everything that the
victim needed for restoration would be covered by the fund.
CHUCK KOPP, STAFF, SENATOR FRED DYSON, explained that there
were no new entities in the bill. He asserted that the
legislation was crafted to assure that the victims were the
first on the priority list to receive money from the fund.
He stated that the intent of the bill was to establish the
fund in statute and to assure that money from the criminal
fund went first and foremost to victim restoration.
10:08:11 AM
Vice-Chair Fairclough explained that CDVSA had received
significant financial support from the criminal fund in the
past. In the past few years the legislature had been using
general fund dollars for the CDVSA and the felon monies had
been distributed elsewhere. She understood that the monies
had been going to programs inside of the DOC rather than to
victim restoration.
Co-Chair Meyer CLOSED public testimony.
10:09:35 AM
Vice-Chair Fairclough asked for more information regarding
how the money was distributed into the fund.
Mr. Banks responded that the process was conducted by DOR.
DAN DEBARTOLO, DIRECTOR, PERMANENT FUND DIVISION,
DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE, could not speak to how the dividend
program calculated the amount appropriated into the
criminal fund. Annually, the division matched a large file
from DOC that identified the incarcerated individuals
against the current dividend application list. He explained
that if incarceration was the only thing that was
disqualifying the individual for the dividend DOR applied
that percentage to the number of people in the file,
including those who did not apply in that year. He said
that the division then determined how many people would
have received a dividend, had they applied. The number of
people was then multiplied by the amount of the dividend
for the year, which determined the pool of funds reported
to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). He said that
the amount had ranged over the years from $9 million to $19
million.
10:12:15 AM
Vice-Chair Fairclough requested further clarification.
Mr. DeBartolo responded that the calculation had been used
for a while. He said that the assumption was that not every
inmate that fell into one of the criminal fund categories
was applying for a dividend because they had become aware
that they were ineligible. The process allowed for the
division of account for those individuals.
Vice-Chair Fairclough felt that an individual who was
incarcerated should be required to apply for the PFD, in
order to provide for their family or contribute to the
criminal fund.
10:14:39 AM
Co-Chair Meyer noted that all of the money in the fund
could be used solely for priority one listed on Page 4 of
the bill.
Mr. Banks responded that there were two charts included in
the bill file. The first, "Historic PFD Criminal Fund
Appropriations"(copy on file), illustrated the DOA
appropriation that went to the Violent Crimes Compensation
Board. He said that the board had never needed more than $2
million and had received much more. He did not anticipate
that the Violent Crimes Compensation Board would take all
of the money from the criminal fund. He spoke to child
support, which was the next priority on the list. He said
that the drafters of the bill understood that all of the
funds could be used for child support, which had not been
the intent of the legislation; the CS had been amended to
limit one dividend per child support order. He referred to
the second chart, "Potential Appropriation Scenarios". He
said that the bill would have minimal impact on DOC's
budget.
10:17:25 AM
Vice-Chair Fairclough looked at the child support language
in the bill. She wondered whether there was a way that the
amount of money going to child support services could be
increased without damaging the budget of DOC.
Mr. Banks responded that the intent had not been to take
funds away from the department. He believed that the step
that had been taken to limit one dividend per order for
child support was a good solution.
10:19:35 AM
Vice-Chair Fairclough wondered if there was an order per
child, or per family. She specifically wondered if more
than one order could be submitted, creating further
bureaucracy.
Senator Dyson responded that the idea had been to provide
restitution retroactively. He said that there was a huge
amount of restoration due for businesses that had been
burglarized. It had been decided that those businesses that
received payment from insurance would not be a priority. He
stressed that he wanted the funds to go to individuals. He
said that the rearages on child support in the state ran
into the 10's of millions of dollars. He said that the
Child Support Enforcement Division had approached him with
the idea so that the child support unmet obligations would
not overpower other priorities. He stressed that it had not
been the intention to protect DOC from the loss of $12
million per year. He suspected that most people did not
realize that those funds were in the DOC budget in the
first place.
10:21:50 AM
Co-Chair Meyer understood one dividend would be ordered
regardless of the number of children in a household.
Mr. Banks replied in the affirmative.
10:22:39 AM
Vice-Chair Fairclough stressed that the state was using
percentages. She noted that the incarcerated individual may
not have applied for all of the children in their household
and wondered how those children would be compensated. She
asserted that she did not understand the method used by the
Permanent Fund Division to calculate the percentage.
Mr. Banks said that it was difficult to find a perfect
calculation to provide families with all of the necessary
support.
10:24:45 AM
Vice-Chair Fairclough remarked that the equation was
complicated. She disagreed with the use of percentages in
the calculation rather than using the number of actual
applicants. She felt that the current method created a
scenario where the funds were not making it to the victims.
Mr. Kopp explained that the bill sponsor was amenable to
the conversation spurred by Vice-chair Fairclough's
questions. He furthered that sideboards would be put in
place to assure that child support rearages would not eat
up the entire criminal fund. He agreed that the methodology
could be revisited.
10:27:11 AM
Vice-Chair Fairclough relayed that what she needed to see
was how DOR was calculating dividends and coming up with an
$8 million number to fund something, because it currently
was not funding victim restoration. She requested the
formula that DOR used.
10:28:02 AM
Co-Chair Meyer surmised that the money would be moved from
the criminal fund to the Violent Crimes Compensation Board.
He noted that the fiscal note for the board was zero.
Mr. Banks said that the fiscal note was zero because the
board did not anticipate any additional operating costs.
10:29:23 AM
KACI SCHROEDER, SPECIAL ASSISTANT, DEPARTMENT OF
CORRECTIONS, testified that the only concern that the
department had was any reduction in criminal fund receipts.
She said that any reduction would be met with a
corresponding general fund request.
10:30:21 AM
Vice-Chair Fairclough said that she had further questions
for DOC regarding work opportunities for inmates and their
ability to make money in order to provide restitution. She
requested additional information on sentencing and the
ability for inmates to access alcohol treatment and
substance abuse programs during incarceration.
Senator Dyson replied that the convicted felon was not
excused from their debt and obligation because their
forfeited dividend had gone into the criminal fund. He
added that he had considered the issue of covering multiple
children.
10:33:26 AM
Co-Chair Meyer remarked that the fiscal notes did not
reflect the $8.5 million being directed to the Violent
Crimes Compensation Board. He felt that the fiscal notes
needed to be studied and revised.
Mr. Banks replied that there was no anticipation of the
Violent Crimes Board receiving $8.5 million under the
legislation. He understood that the note spoke to the
worst-case scenario of the department losing the money that
they would receive from the criminal fund they would need
$8.5 million to backfill for their operating costs. He said
that looking at projections for the 2014 dividend the
department did not anticipate that there would be any loss.
10:35:46 AM
Mr. Kopp remarked that the bill sponsor was confident that
the legislation would not negatively affect DOC.
10:36:50 AM
Senator Hoffman asked for calculations for FY16 through
FY18 in order to examine how the fund would be distributed
at higher numbers.
Mr. Banks replied that there was a rough estimate of FY16
on the second chart.
10:38:11 AM
Senator Hoffman felt that the number did not calculate all
of the lower earning years of the dividend. He wondered if
there was the anticipation that the number would increase
in FY 17 and FY18.
Mr. Banks agreed to provide that information.
SB 104 was HEARD and HELD in committee for further
consideration.
