SUMMARY
SB 30 STATE PARK PERMITS FOR DISABLED VETERANS
SB 30 was HEARD and HELD in committee for further
consideration.
SB 54 EXT ARCH, ENG, SURVEY BRD; REG INT DESIGN
SB 54 was HEARD and HELD in committee for further
consideration.
SB 61 ELECTRONIC DEVICE RECYCLING
SB 61 was HEARD and HELD in committee for further
consideration.
Co-Chair Hoffman discussed the agenda. He noted that there
were three bills for the committee's consideration, all of
which were being heard for the first time. The committee's
intent was to hear the bills and set them aside for further
review.
SENATE BILL NO. 30
"An Act making certain veterans eligible for a lifetime
permit to access state park campsites and the parking and
restrooms of developed facilities without charge; and
providing for an effective date."
9:02:28 AM
SENATOR JESSE BJORKMAN, SPONSOR, conveyed that SB 30 was a
bill that would allow disabled veterans that had honorably
served the country to have access to Alaska's state parks
free of charge. The bill would allow for veterans to apply
for a pass to the parks and would waive the fee. He
believed that those that had served the nation in the
military deserved the utmost respect and had earned the
right to enjoy the natural beauty of the state.
Senator Bjorkman noted that disabled veterans currently
qualified for a free annual pass limited to camping. The
bill proposed a simpler system for passes that would
automatically renew every five years and would re-issue
once a veteran had updated their address. There was
currently no provision for disabled veteran's to be able to
park in the parks for free. He proposed that the bill would
make it easier for veterans to visit the state parks for
the day. He made note of individuals that were present for
invited testimony and to answer questions.
9:04:56 AM
PHILLIP HOKENSON, CHAIR, ALASKA VETERAN'S ADVISORY COUNCIL,
FAIRBANKS (via teleconference), relayed that he was an Army
veteran and in addition to serving as chair of the Alaska
Veteran's Advisory Council, he was a member of the Alaska
Pioneer Home Advisory Board. He mentioned that Alaska was
known for having the highest population of veterans per
capita, and additionally had the most women veterans and
the youngest population of veterans per capita. He queried
the question of why so many veterans chose to relocate or
be in the state and discussed the state's support and
recognition of veterans. He mentioned dollars being spent
in the economy, specifically in healthcare and at the
University of Alaska.
Mr. Hokenson discussed the value veterans brought to the
state. He mentioned the Veteran's Administration (VA)
Community Care Program. He pointed out that while Alaska
was a leader in many ways, he thought the state did not
live up to a national standard in providing veterans with
expanded access to state parks. He cited that the National
Defense Authorization Act of 2002 had established free
lifetime access to national parks for veterans. He thought
that free lifetime access to Alaska's state parks as
proposed in the bill would support the health and wellbeing
of veterans. He urged the committee to pass the bill.
9:07:44 AM
Co-Chair Hoffman OPENED public testimony.
9:08:03 AM
Co-Chair Hoffman CLOSED public testimony.
Senator Kiehl addressed a fiscal note from the Department
of Natural Resources, OMB Component 3001. The note showed a
decrease of $300,000 in program receipts revenues, and a
corresponding increase of $300,000 in Unrestricted General
Funds (UGF) going forward.
9:08:46 AM
AT EASE
9:09:34 AM
RECONVENED
Co-Chair Hoffman conveyed that the committee was expecting
an updated fiscal note, which it would review at a later
time.
Representative Bjorkman believed it was vitally important
that the state's recognition of the state's veterans
service match the value that other government entities
extended to veterans. He thought providing a disabled
veteran a parking pass to access the state's parks was a
great way to recognize their service.
SB 30 was HEARD and HELD in committee for further
consideration.
9:10:59 AM
AT EASE
9:11:23 AM
RECONVENED
SENATE BILL NO. 54
"An Act relating to registered interior designers and
interior design; extending the termination date of the
State Board of Registration for Architects, Engineers,
and Land Surveyors; relating to the State Board of
Registration for Architects, Engineers, and Land
Surveyors; establishing requirements for the practice of
registered interior design; relating to the practice of
architecture, engineering, land surveying, landscape
architecture, and registered interior design by
partnerships; relating to liens for labor or materials
furnished; relating to the procurement of landscape
architectural and interior design services; and providing
for an effective date."
9:11:48 AM
SENATOR MATT CLAMAN, SPONSOR, introduced the bill. He read
from prepared remarks:
Senate Bill 54 will extend the statutory authorization
for the Board of Architects, Engineers, and Land
Surveyors (AELS Board), add Registered Interior
Designers to the board's jurisdiction, and make
statutory changes requested by the board. This bill
will allow the AELS Board to continue the important
work of regulating design professionals in Alaska and
add a qualified interior designer to the board.
The 2024 Sunset Audit of the AELS Board concluded that
the board served the public's interest and recommended
that we extend it for eight years. In this bill, the
AELS Board is taking the opportunity to update
outdated language based on their analysis since the
last sunset audit.
Another important part of SB 54 is the opportunity for
qualified interior designers to register with the AELS
Board. Those wishing to practice registered interior
design in buildings of public occupancy within a
regulated scope of services impacting public health,
safety, or welfare will now have a pathway to
registration. SB 54 will allow designers practicing in
public occupancy buildings to be qualified to do so,
providing another measure of public safety protection
and risk-mitigation for commercial buildings. It will
increase the amount of design professionals able to
work independently within the commercial real estate
industry.
The National Council of Interior Design Qualifications
(NCIDQ) Exam is a three-part, 11-hour examination that
was established to identify interior design
professionals with the skills and experience to take
on additional responsibility. This test is designed to
assess the competency of candidates to protect the
public through the practice of interior design, and
covers subjects such as fire safety, ADA compliance,
emergency egress, and material flammability. A
candidate unable to prove their understanding of life
safety, codes, and standards would be unlikely to pass
the exam.
The goal is not to measure Interior Designers by the
standards used by architects. While there are shared
skillsets between architects and interior designers,
interior designers focus on a narrower scope of work.
By comparison, there are different licensing
requirements for nurse practitioners and doctors, even
though they sometimes perform similar activities.
Currently, there is no state licensing of the interior
design profession in Alaska. One consequence of this
licensing gap is that Registered Interior designers do
not have access to a construction stamp that would
allow them to submit their work for permitting.
Passage of SB 54 will allow Alaska to join other
forward-looking states in providing a construction
document stamp to allow registered interior designers
to submit their own work for permitting.
SB 54 does not restrict the requirements or daily
practice for any other professional in design or
construction including architects, engineers,
contractors, trades people, decorators, or residential
designers.
SB 54 is intended to be cost neutral to the State, as
it is self-funded within the AELS Registration Board
through application, registration, and renewal fees.
As shown in the attached fiscal note, the passage of
this bill would enable the AELS Registration Board to
hire a much-needed additional Occupational Licensee
Examiner, and the cost per licensee would only be an
additional $50 every two years.
We often talk of making Alaska open and ready for
business. This bill turns those words into action and
will make Alaska a better place to do business. Please
join me in supporting SB 54.
9:16:00 AM
SARENA HACKENMILLER, STAFF, SENATOR MATT CLAMAN, addressed
a Sectional Analysis (copy on file):
Section 1 AS 08.03.010. Termination dates for

authorizing the board to adopt regulations
establishing a definition of interior design for the
purpose of this chapter and requires that the
definition include non-loadbearing interior
construction, space planning, finish materials, and
furnishings.
Section 7 AS 08.48.111. Power to revoke, suspend, or
reissue certificate. Adds registered interior design
to a list of professions that the board may suspend or
refuse to renew, or whose certificate may be revoked,
or who may be reprimanded if found guilty of fraud,
gross negligence, incompetence, or misconduct in
accordance with a code of ethics as adopted by the
board. This section also removes the requirement that
the code of ethics be distributed in writing to every
registrant and applicant.
Ms. Hackenmiller relayed that Section 8 through Section 12
were conforming changes. She continued to address the
Sectional Analysis:
Section 13
AS 08.48.215(a). Retired status registration.
Distinguishes that retirement status under this
chapter is available only for professional architects,
engineers, land surveyors, or landscape architects.
Section 14
AS 08.48.218. Untitled practice of interior design.
Adds new section stating that unregistered individuals
may practice interior design but shall refrain from
using the title "registered interior designer."
Ms. Hackenmiller relayed that Section 15 through Section 21
were conforming changes. She continued to address the
Sectional Analysis:
Section 22
AS 08.48.281. Prohibited practice.
Adds a new subsection (c) specifying that a person
that is not registered with the board may not use the
title "registered interior designer."
Section 23

imprisonment for not more than one year, or by both.
Ms. Hackenmiller relayed that Section 22 through Section 25
were conforming changes. She continued with Section 26:
Section 26
AS 08.48.321(b). Evidence of practice. Adds a new
subsection (b) stating that using the title
"registered interior designer" implies that the person
is registered with the board.
Section 27 AS 08.48.331. Exemptions. New paragraph
(15) aligns AS 08.48 with Alaska Department of
Environmental Conservation (ADEC) statutes allowing
certain ADEC employees who are authorized to construct
conventional onsite wastewater systems to do so
without a professional license if the wastewater
system has a design flow of less than 500 gallons of
wastewater a day.
Section 28 AS 08.48.331. Exemptions. In paragraph
(11), adds the construction of natural gas pipelines
to the conditions in which an employee or officer of a
company operating in Alaska must have a professional
license.
Section 29
AS 08.48.331. Exemptions.
Adds new subsection (c) allowing the Department of

Ms. Hackenmiller relayed that Section 33 through Section 38
were conforming under other titles outside AS 08.48. She
continued to address the Sectional Analysis:
Section 39
AS 08.48.011. Board created.
Subsection (c) is repealed. Subsection (c) is related
to board seats which no longer apply due to Sections 2
and 3 of this bill.
Ms. Hackenmiller specified that Section 40 and 41
established the effective date and grace period for
registration of interior designers. She continued to
address the Sectional Analysis:
Section 42 Effective date Clarifies that Sections 28
and 29 take effect January 1, 2026.
Section 43 Effective date Except as stated in Sections
41 and 42, this Act has an effective date of July 1,
2025.
9:21:38 AM
Senator Kiehl asked Ms. Hackenmiller about a description of
the items that were considered "interior design" under the
bill.
Ms. Hackenmiller identified that the definition of
"registered interior design" and "registered interior
designer" were in Section 32.
Senator Kiehl relayed that Section 32 indicated it was the
practice of interior design. He asked if there was a more
specific definition.
Senator Claman directed attention to Section 6 of the bill,
where directions were given to the AELS board to define the
scope of practice.
Co-Chair Hoffman asked what the AELS Board signified.
Senator Claman relayed that it was the Architects Engineers
and Landscape Surveying Board, for which the bill extended
authorization.
9:23:31 AM
KRIS CURTIS, LEGISLATIVE AUDITOR, ALASKA DIVISION OF
LEGISLATIVE AUDIT, directed attention to the "A Sunset
Review of the Department of Commerce, Community, and
Economic Development, State Board of Registration for
Architects, Engineers, and Land Surveyors (board)" (copy on
file). She described the audit as "very clean" with no
recommendations and with support for an eight-year
extension. The audit found that the audit concluded that
the board served the public's interest by conducting
meetings in an effective manner; actively amending
regulations to improve the registration process; and
effectively registering architects, engineers, land
surveyors, and landscape architects.
Ms. Curtis directed attention to the report on page 6 on
registration and certificate activity. As of January 2024,
the board had 6,628 active registrants. The schedule of
revenues and expenditures was on page 8, which indicated
that there was a $1.2 million surplus as of January 2024.
She noted that the commissioner and the board chair both
concurred with the report's conclusions.
9:25:01 AM
COLIN MAYNARD, ALASKA BOARD OF ARCHITECTS, ENGINEERS, AND
LAND SURVEYORS, ANCHORAGE (via teleconference), read from
prepared testimony:
For the record, my name is Colin Maynard, I am a
retired Civil and Structural Engineer and am a member
of the Alaska State Board of Architects, Engineers,
and Land Surveyors (or AELS). I am testifying at the
direction of the Board as the Chair of the AELS
Legislative Liaison Committee.
At our February 2025 meeting, the AELS Board voted 7-2
to support this bill. I would like to address a few
provisions which have financial impacts. First, I have
to say that the Board is proud to see that the
Legislative Audit found that the Board has been
complying with the relevant statutes and regulations
and is performing its duty to protect public safety,
health, and welfare. We believe that an extension of
eight years is warranted. Now to the financial issues:
Section 2 Board makeup
o Adding petroleum and chemical engineering
disciplines to the mining engineering seat as an
option, instead of a fallback position, expands the
pool of possible volunteers from 36 to 148 while
keeping the seat in the resource extraction industry.
This does not add any cost.
o Breaking the current mechanical/electrical
engineering seat into two seats recognizes that they
are the two most common disciplines after civil
engineering, even more than architects or land
surveyors, which have two seats each. It also
recognizes that these disciplines are different from
each other and expecting one person to have expertise
in both is asking a bit much.
o Adding an Interior designer seat will allow someone
with expertise in that field to help craft regulations
regarding that new discipline.
o We understand that we are already one of the largest
State licensing Boards, but we currently regulate
eighteen different disciplines with more registrants
than all but two Boards. Most of our meetings are done
virtually and the cost of travel is minimal. The cost
of the Board is borne by those registrants, not by the
public.
Section 4 Executive Administrator salary
o The Board has been having problems retaining our
Executive Administrator. The Board has been working
with the Division and Department to get an Office of
Management and Budget class evaluation for years. The
fact that the position is a class of one has not made
that very easy and it has dragged out for years. The
evaluation finally started last fall, still has at
least one more step to go, and may not have a
conclusion with which the Board agrees. Before the
evaluation started, the Board decided to request that
our statute specify that the AELS Executive
Administrator has a salary in Range 23. Other Boards
that have a similar number of registrants have a
similar provision.
Most of the costs in the fiscal note are based on the
addition of a licensing examiner, thereby expanding
the Board's staff from three to four: an executive
administrator, two licensing examiners, and an
investigator. This is necessary due to the existing
workload. The addition of interior designers will add
about 1% to the number of registrants. The costs will
be borne by the approximately 6700 active registrants
and 800 Corporations and Limited Liability Companies.
9:28:23 AM
MATT BARUSCH, GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS AND ADVOCACY COUNCIL FOR
INTERIOR DESIGN QUALIFICATION (via teleconference), relayed
that his organization administered the national interior
design certification examination, which was regulated in 29
states, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. He
explained that the interior design profession was regulated
because of the direct impact the work had on the health,
safety, and welfare of the public in public spaces. The
bill adopted a framework consistent with a majority of
states that regulated the profession. His organization
supported that bill because it would help support public
protection, and looked forward to supporting the AELS Board
as it implemented the legislation.
9:29:26 AM
Co-Chair Hoffman OPENED public testimony.
9:29:53 AM
CASEY KEE, SELF, ANCHORAGE (via teleconference), spoke in
support of the bill. She was an Anchorage resident and a
NCIDQ-certified interior designer.
9:30:28 AM
BARBARA CASH, SELF, ANCHORAGE (via teleconference),
testified in strong support of the bill. She was a long-
time NCIDQ-qualified interior designer in Anchorage. She
contended that the bill enabled registered Alaska designers
for federal projects.
9:31:24 AM
MELISSA TRIBYL, SELF, ANCHORAGE (via teleconference), spoke
in support of the legislation. She was a certified interior
designer with NCIDQ and owned an architectural firm. She
thought the bill would expand services.
9:32:26 AM
RAMONA SCHIMSCHEIMER, BOARD MEMBER, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF
ARCHITECTURE ALASKA, ANCHORAGE (via teleconference),
testified in opposition to the bill. She was a licensed
architect. She shared that the American Institute of
Architecture (AIA) Alaska had worked with the sponsor to
address concerns.
9:33:56 AM
CATHERINE FRITZ, SELF, JUNEAU (via teleconference),
testified in opposition to the bill. She had been an active
member of the Alaska chapter of AIA. She had been
registered as an architect since 1990. She had served on
the AELS Board for eight years. She thought there were many
aspects of the bill that would be difficult and confusing
to administer. She opposed the expansion of the board to 13
members as proposed in the bill, and contended that the
board was already the largest board with 11 members. She
noted that prior to 2023, there was a restriction that had
now allowed mechanical and electrical engineers to serve on
the board simultaneously, which had been remedied by
legislation. She contended that there were fewer than two
dozen interior designers that were qualified to serve on
the board.
Ms. Fritz shared the concern that it was not appropriate to
have a registered interior designer on the AELS Board
because they would not be registered and regulated. She
emphasized that SB 54 was a title act. She noted that a
seat on the board would allow an interior designer
authority and responsibility to act on the regulated
practices of engineering and architecture, which she did
not think was appropriate. She could not think of a reason
to expand the board. She mentioned the addition of a
landscape architect to the board as a temporary seat in
1998. If the bill passed, there would need to be a limited
amount of regulation developed. She thought a temporary
seat could add subject matter expertise if needed.
9:37:30 AM
DANA NUNN, CHAIR, GOVERNMENT ADVOCACY COMMITTEE, AMERICAN
SOCIETY OF INTERIOR DESIGNERS, ALASKA CHAPTER, ANCHORAGE
(via teleconference), spoke in support of the bill. She was
a longtime Anchorage resident and an NCIDQ-certified
interior designer. She thought SB 54 represented many years
of collaborative efforts. She thought the bill remained
true to the fundamental intent of improving public health,
safety, and welfare while established means of registering
qualified interior designers. She urged the committee to
pass the bill.
9:39:06 AM
ELIZABETH GOEBEL, SELF, ANCHORAGE (via teleconference),
testified in support of the bill. She relayed that she was
an interior designer in Anchorage currently working on her
NCIDQ certification.
9:39:31 AM
LARRY CASH, SELF, ANCHORAGE (via teleconference), spoke in
support of the bill. He relayed that he was an Alaskan
architect and worked with qualified interior designers for
many years. He supported interior designers' state
registration with stamp and seal privileges as provided in
the bill.
9:40:23 AM
Co-Chair Hoffman CLOSED public testimony.
Senator Kiehl addressed a new fiscal note from the
Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development,
Division of Corporations, Business, and Professional
Licensing, OMB Component 2360. He expanded that the fiscal
note showed an increased FY 26 cost of $172,600 and one
position, all in receipt-supported services. The fiscal
note also reflected that $263,900 of Designated General
Funds (DGF) was included in the governor's request. There
was $401,700 in receipt support services and two positions
from FY 27 going forward.
Senator Claman thought the bill was a positive step forward
for the state.
SB 54 was HEARD and HELD in committee for further
consideration.
9:41:59 AM
AT EASE
9:43:02 AM
RECONVENED
SENATE BILL NO. 61
"An Act relating to an electronic product stewardship
program; relating to collection, recycling, and
disposal of electronic equipment; establishing the
electronics recycling advisory council; and providing
for an effective date."
9:43:25 AM
SENATOR LOKI TOBIN, SPONSOR, conveyed that SB 61 had a very
interesting premise, and she would speak to the reason she
wanted to introduce the legislation. She discussed managing
waste, which was connected to life expectancy. She
explained that as our society had advanced and evolved,
electronic waste had become an issue, and now management of
electronic waste was a necessity. She emphasized that
without effective systems, communities burned flat screen
televisions next to schools and left fax machines on the
tundra.
Senator Tobin explained that SB 61 was developed by the
Alaska Solid Waste Task Force. She listed stakeholders as
the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium, the Alaska
Department of Environmental Conservation, Kawerak
Incorporated, and Zender Environmental. The bill was
supported by the Alaska Federation of Natives, the Alaska
Municipal League, the Solid Waste Association of North
America as well as numerous Alaska communities,
organizations, and businesses including the Denali
Commission.
Senator Tobin emphasized that every time a person purchased
an electronic device, they paid for another state to have a
product stewardship plan for the objects. Many states had
processes that required manufacturers to pay for recycle
processes for electronic materials. She noted that Canada,
European countries, and Hawaii had such stewardship plans.
She explained that SB 61 created a manufacturer-funded
system for collecting and recycling electronic devices such
as flat-screen televisions, computers, monitors, fax
machines, and printers.
Senator Tobin discussed hazards to communities and noted
the bill would require manufacturers to pay for what tribes
were currently paying for. Manufacturers allocated funding
from product sale revenue to cover collection and recycling
activities. The funding would support the efforts currently
underway by communities, non-profit organizations, tribes,
and businesses.
9:47:10 AM
Senator Tobin specified that under Senate Bill 61 a
manufacturer whose electronic devices are sold in Alaska
would register with the Department of Environmental
Conservation (DEC) and pay an annual administrative fee to
the department. Manufacturers could register individually
or more commonly join a product responsibility organization
that specialized in implementing the programs and dividing
the costs of the program among manufacturers. Manufacturers
or their product responsibility organization would produce
a proposed plan, which would be reviewed and amended by a
13-member advisory council and approved by DEC.
Senator Tobin relayed that there were expert testifiers
online and available to answer questions on how the plans
were operated and how it was currently happening in Alaska.
She noted that in a previous committee of referral, changes
included removing (from electronic materials to be
recycled) microwaves, batteries containing electronics, and
FTA devices. The bill was also amended to reduce
collections sites. Additionally, the bill was amended to
allow for the advisory council to meet virtually to save on
costs. The legislation had the individual penalty removed,
which would allow individual communities to handle the
issue.
Senator Tobin thought it was important to note that the
bill helped DEC oversee the program, but there was no
involvement from the state other than approving the plans
that electronic manufactures produced. The community would
help devise the process. She emphasized that the activities
were already happening in communities, and the tribes and
non-profits were braiding together funding that was
volatile. She proposed that the bill would help create a
more sustainable practice to ensure the hazardous materials
were removed from landfills.
Senator Merrick asked how many manufacturers would be
required to register with DEC under the bill.
9:50:21 AM
LOUIE FLORA, STAFF, SENATOR LOKI TOBIN, relayed that every
producer of electronics in the state would be required to
register. He did not have a number, which would be
available upon registration.
Senator Kaufman was curious about the carve-outs, and what
was in and not in the bill. He mentioned microwaves and
considered items that could end up deteriorating at a
remote location. He mentioned electric vehicles and asked
how the bill would affect larger items that could
potentially contaminate land.
Mr. Flora relayed that there were multiple laws in
different states that covered different products. The bill
was limited to specific waste streams because it was the
first time contemplating a product stewardship law. The
sponsor had wanted to limit the bill to a specific waste
stream, because broadening the bill could potentially
involve other unforeseen constituencies that might oppose
the bill. He mentioned that the sponsor had looked at the
consideration of vapes in the future, which were a problem
at schools and municipalities. Currently the bill was
focused on electronics.
Senator Tobin added that a more detailed list of products
could be found on page 19 of the bill.
Co-Chair Stedman asked how the bill would work on islands.
He asked who would pay for the storage or sorting.
Senator Tobin relayed that the storage and sorting would be
part of a proposed plan that a manufacturer or product
stewardship organization would detail. She relayed that
there were individuals available online that were actively
working on product stewardship in Savoonga.
Chair Stedman pointed out that all communities were
different. He was concerned with who paid the cost and how
it interacted with the manufacturer and mentioned the cost
to communities.
Senator Tobin relayed that under the bill, the burden of
cost would be on the manufacturers, which would be part of
the product stewardship plan. She mentioned that other
states had been collecting resources to help with product
stewardship, and there were practices in place.
9:55:09 AM
Senator Kiehl asked if the sponsor could provide insight on
what percentage of landfills in the state had a liner.
Mr. Flora thought that under 10 percent of landfills had a
liner. He thought most class 3 facilities in rural Alaska
did not have a liner.
Senator Kiehl contemplated electronics with substances that
could seep into the water table. He asked how the bill
would work with communities that handled electronics
collection. He mentioned that currently in Juneau, it was
possible to drop electronic waste four days a week. He
mentioned the practices in other areas.
Mr. Flora relayed that the advisory council had specific
positions for the large municipal landfills and other
stakeholders. The process of creating an e-recycling plan
would consider ongoing efforts and were required to fund
ongoing efforts to the greatest degree possible.
Senator Tobin pointed out that member's packets included a
presentation from the Solid Waste Alaska Task Force, which
provided some additional detail on current efforts (copy on
file). She noted that about 70 percent of communities had
some level of e-waste recycling. She hoped the entire state
would have access to the program.
Senator Kaufman considered the list and had more questions.
He asked if the list of e-waste would include all kitchen
appliances. He asked about dishwashers that had
electronics, and whether the items were included.
Senator Tobin thought stakeholders could answer Senator
Kaufman's question. She thought some of the items Senator
Kaufman mentioned such as refrigerators needed experts to
remove harmful aspects before they could be successfully
recycled. Under the legislation, it might be more
complicated than simply removing the items from unlined
landfills.
9:59:17 AM
REILLY KOSINSKI, ZENDER ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND RESEARCH
GROUP (via teleconference), relayed that he was a member of
the Solid Waste Alaska Taskforce (SWAT). He spoke from
written remarks:
•Personally, I live in Haines and work for Zender
Environmental as a Statewide Coordinator for the
Backhaul Alaska Program
Backhaul Alaska
•Backhaul Alaska is a SWAT initiative that is
administered by Zender Environmental.
•It's a Program that aims to help all Alaskan
communities effectively and affordably backhaul hard-
to-manage or potentially hazardous waste-streams that
should be diverted from landfills especially rural
landfills
•Ewaste is one of the materials our Program
prioritizes, and I hope to provide a brief background
regarding Alaska's current ewaste recycling efforts
and existing infrastructure.
•Currently new electronics have little issue getting
into communities - there is a very robust
infrastructure in place for delivering products
throughout the state.
•So, in short the transportation infrastructure for
recycling is already there It's a matter of managing
the logistics in reverse.
•Our Backhaul Alaska Program has been doing just this
using existing shipping routes to facilitate more
efficient backhaul of wastes & recyclables, including
ewaste.
Alaskan Communities Recycling Ewaste
•Our Program has either fully or partially funded
backhaul & recycling shipments covering roughly 100
different communities since 2018.
•It should be noted that we're doing this for not just
ewaste, but other hard-to-manage waste streams such as
lead acid batteries, tires, mercury containing
products, and appliances.
•Plus, we are performing a lot of the operational
aspects ask of the manufacturers in this bill.
•We're just 1 of multiple organizations that have been
backhauling ewaste on a local and regional level.
•Some of the other organizations supporting regional
efforts include:
oKawerak in Nome serves 16 Bering Strait
communities
oManiilaq in Kotzebue
oBBAHC serving Dillingham & Bristol Bay
Communities
oA collaboration AVCP, Donlin Gold, and Delta
Backhaul in Bethel
oCook Inlet Keeper in the Kenai Borough
oKANA in Kodiak serving island-wide
oPOW Island
oCRNA in Glennallen serving the Copper River
Valley
oGreen Star of Interior Alaska serving Interior
communities
•These organizations actively coordinate with outlying
communities within their region to bring ewaste into
hubs for subsequent repackaging and shipment to
recyclers.
•For our part, we try to partner with these regional
organizations where we can and leverage funds to help
support their efforts.
•Also, there are plenty of communities that
individually manage ewaste for recycling
•Further, there are established recycling companies in
Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Kodiak that accept ewaste.
•By our count, at least 70% of communities already,
ohave been recycling ewaste within the last 5
years
oHave access to established ewaste recycling
services, or
oHave access to ewaste collection events
•I'd say this is a conservative estimate. I don't have
full knowledge of every community & region's efforts,
but these are the ones that we're aware of.
•But all these current programs and efforts goes to
show how important diverting ewaste from landfills is
to communities throughout the state.
Not starting from scratch
•This bill would not require anything to be built from
scratch, no studies are needed it would be building
off of 20+ years of development and refinement
•There are many Alaskan entities with experience that
would gladly partner, leverage, and contribute to the
development an efficient statewide program.
•Importantly, SB61 will allow for a formalized process
and provide a solid foundation to build around.
•Instead of multiple fractured efforts, we can have
single program to coordinate ewaste recycling on a
statewide level.
Need for stable, long-term funding
•Proud of our work, but our funding is limited.
•Backhaul Alaska is predominately federally grant
funded
•Our main source funding will run out the end-of-
summer this year,
•We have additional funding sources that can help
cover maybe the next year or 2, but our Program will
likely have to scale-back significantly if renewed
funding is not available.
•There is a lot of uncertainty around the continued
availability of federal grants used to operate our
Program and others.
•This uncertainty is a barrier to long-term planning
and capacity building.
•We cannot effectively plan or invest resources beyond
a year or 2 because it's uncertain if we'll be able to
providing the same level of service we're currently
offering.
•SB61 would establish that stable, long-term funding
needed for managing ewaste on a statewide level.
hank you, I'm available for any questions
Mr. Kosinski explained that the funding for his program was
limited. He discussed funding sources from federal funds
and grants and felt there was much uncertainty. He
discussed the challenge of working on long-term plans
without long term funding.
10:04:32 AM
SCOTT KLAG, PRODUCT STEWARDSHIP INSTITUTE (via
teleconference), explained that the Product Stewardship
Institute was a national policy organization that had been
working on product stewardship programs across the states.
The institute had been working with the development of
electronic stewardship programs since the year 2000. He
discussed his background working in waste and recycling
laws. He explained that stewardship programs were an
approach that required producers and manufacturers to share
in the management of the end-of-life of products. Programs
included coverage of leftover paint, batteries, mattresses,
and pharmaceuticals. Recently several states had passed
laws covering packaging.
Mr. Klag relayed that the bill would set out what products
were covered, and what obligations the manufacturers would
have. He discussed the importance of designing a program to
build on existing private and public infrastructure. He
cited that 24 states had passed legislation covering
electronics and millions of pounds of the materials had
been diverted.
Mr. Klag continued and noted that Oregon had recently
updated its law and expanded the scope of products
included, similar to what was proposed in the bill. He
thought the bill addressed important elements for an
effective law that was designed in collaboration with
stakeholders. He thought the bill would provide sustainable
financing, which was a crucial element.
10:08:00 AM
DR. LYNN ZENDER, ZENDER ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND RESEARCH
GROUP (via teleconference), relayed that she had a
doctorate in civil engineering. She thought the bill had
been carefully vetted. She discussed tightening budgets.
She referenced state programs in Hawaii, Maine, and
Washington. She mentioned speaking to stakeholder groups.
and discussed forming an advisory group. She mentioned
feedback sessions to tribal and urban groups.
Dr. Zender mentioned the health benefits of the bill, and
noted that electronics contained lead, cadmium, flame
retardants, and PFAS, which caused a myriad of health
problems. She described rural landfills with no liners,
which allowed leaching into nearby water sources. She cited
that in one rural Alaska study, there were health effects
linked to proximity to the dump. There were correlations of
hazardous waste and birth defects. She discussed the
proximity of landfills to villages and discussed water
sources and contamination. Electronics and batteries made
up the bulk of hazardous waste in rural Alaska. She
discussed the limitation of landfill liners. She discussed
potential cuts to federal funds.
10:12:30 AM
Dr. Zender referenced an opposition letter from the
Consumer Technology Association (CTA) (copy on file), to
which her organization had responded with a letter
addressing counterpoints to the arguments presented (copy
on file). She thought the letter from CTA was inaccurate
and presented wrong information. She thought product
stewardship programs were a market-based approach.
10:14:00 AM
Co-Chair Hoffman OPENED public testimony.
10:14:26 AM
KATIE CAPOZZI, PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER,
ALASKA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, ANCHORAGE (via teleconference),
spoke in opposition to the bill. She relayed that while the
chamber supported responsible recycling efforts and
environmental stewardship, it thought that the bill placed
an unachievable and costly burden on manufacturers, which
would ultimately negatively impact Alaskan consumers and
businesses. She thought the bill would establish one of the
most costly and burdensome programs in the nation, while
not taking into account the state's unique logistical and
infrastructure challenges. She thought the state lacked the
infrastructure to support the bill. She contended that the
bill's inclusion of all batteries contained in electronics
proposed to expand the existing system beyond what it could
handle. She thought the bill asked manufacturers to create
a program from scratch and would pass costs on to
consumers. She encouraged future dialog and collaboration
with stakeholders.
Senator Merrick asked if the changes to the bill in the
Senate Resources Committee made the bill more palatable to
the Alaska Chamber.
Ms. Capozzi thought there were improvements made in the
committee, but the chamber still could not support the
bill.
10:17:40 AM
LORENE ANELON, ILIAMNA DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, ANCHORAGE
(via teleconference), spoke in support of the bill. She
relayed that she spoke on behalf of the village of Iliamna
and the corporation. She discussed the expense of
recycling. She discussed challenges with maintaining a
clean environment in the village. She discussed handling of
e-waste and tires. She thought the bill would improve
community clean-up and would prevent harmful chemicals from
impacting the subsistence lifestyle. She thought the bill
would help rural communities.
10:19:40 AM
KATIE REILLY, VICE PRESIDENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS,
CONSUMER TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION, ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA (via
teleconference), spoke in opposition to the bill. She
relayed that her association's members would be responsible
for paying for and delivering on an electronic product
stewardship program in the state. She suggested that the
proposal in the bill would place a significant burden on
electronics manufacturers. She cited that there had not
been a new e-waste program passed since 2014, and cited
that electronics were the fastest declining product waste
stream in the country.
Ms. Reilly expressed concern about the provisions proposed
in the bill. She thought there was no clear data on
electronic data generation across the state. She was
concerned about significant costs for manufacturers. She
discussed a requirement for a collection event required for
communities with less than 5,500 people, which would result
in over 200 expensive collection events. She discussed the
potential for skyrocketing costs. She pondered where and
how much e-waste was being generated. She referenced CTA's
written testimony (copy on file). She highlighted a fiscal
note from the Department of Environmental Conservation. She
mentioned that CTA's overall concern with the bill was the
addition of considerable costs for doing business in the
state, while being structured beyond what was needed to
meet the need.
10:23:13 AM
FALLON GLEASON, SELF, ANCHORAGE (via teleconference),
testified in support of the bill. She worked in
environmental health in Bristol Bay and had assisted
numerous villages with e-waste. She thought recycling e-
waste was imperative. She discussed federal funding used by
tribes to recycle e-waste, and the potential for using the
funds for other matters related to health. She stressed
that e-waste created a burden for small rural communities.
10:24:42 AM
VANESSA TAHBONE, SELF, NOME (via teleconference), spoke in
support of SB 61. She worked for Kawerak, a regional non-
profit, as an environmental project coordinator. She was a
regional coordinator for the Back-haul Alaska Program. She
had worked to get electronics out of landfills in rural
communities. She noted that there were already storage and
shipping routes in place. She conveyed that electronic
recycling had already been happening in her region for over
a decade. She was an avid subsistence hunter and gatherer
and discussed chemical pollution on the land. She
emphasized that there was existing infrastructure.
10:27:25 AM
ENISHA ELBIH, SELF, ANCHORAGE (via teleconference),
testified in support of the bill. She was a resident of
South Naknek and was speaking on behalf of the tribe. She
noted that her community had a class 3 unlined landfill,
which meant pollutants could leach into the land and air.
It was her community's first year shipping out e-waste. She
mentioned the uncertainty of future funding and thought the
cost of shipping should be on the manufacturer.
10:29:12 AM
BENNY PISCOYA, KAWERAK INC., NOME (via teleconference),
spoke in support of the bill. He relayed that he was a
Native man, and he had participated in hunting and fishing.
He had learned from his grandfather to "pack it in, pack it
out," which he thought should apply to e-waste.
10:29:52 AM
Co-Chair Hoffman CLOSED public testimony.
10:29:59 AM
Senator Kiehl addressed a new fiscal note from the
Department of Environmental Conservation, Division of
Environmental Health, OMB Component 3202. For FY 26, the
department estimated there would be a cost of $499,600 of
UGF, and two full-time positions. The number stabilized in
FY 28, with a cost of $420,700. In FY 29, the fund source
switched from UGF to General Fund program receipts and
remained level going forward.
Co-Chair Hoffman asked the sponsor if she wanted to offer
closing comments.
Senator Tobin emphasized that currently 70 percent of
Alaskan communities had an e-waste recycling program paid
for by Alaskans through grants, community contributions,
and tribal dollars. The bill did not create a statewide
recycling program but instead established a statewide
electronic stewardship plan. She clarified that although
the initial costs would be paid by UGF, the annual fees
would eventually be paid for by the manufacturer fee
associated with registration with a digital stewardship
program. The costs would be backfilled. She mentioned
potentially making a longer time horizon for implementing
the program, to ensure the state was able to recoup the
costs. The actual costs incurred by establishment of a
stewardship plan would be paid for by manufacturers on a
service charge that people already paid. She emphasized
that people were already paying for e-recycling for other
states, in Canadian provinces, and in Europe. The bill
proposed to continue the existing program, but paid for by
manufacturers. She looked forward to stakeholders
contacting her office for dialogue.
Co-Chair Hoffman thanked the sponsor.
SB 61 was HEARD and HELD in committee for further
consideration.
Co-Chair Hoffman noted that the deadline for amendments to
SB 30, SB 54, and SB 61 was set for Tuesday, April 8 at 5
o'clock p.m.
