9:03:06 AM
CHAIR PRUITT announced that the only order of business would be
HOUSE BILL NO. 71, "An Act extending the termination date of the
Alaska regional economic assistance program; and providing for
an effective date." He noted that the committee would be
operating under Uniform Rule 42, Conference and Free Conference
Committees, and [has convened to resolve the differences between
CSHB 71(FIN), which has passed the House, and SCS CSHB 71(FIN),
which has passed the Senate].
9:03:25 AM
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX moved that the 2nd Conference Committee on
HB 71 adopt Sections 1-5 of CSHB 71(FIN) as a Conference
Committee Substitute (CCS).
CHAIR COGHILL objected.
A roll call vote was taken. Representatives Kawasaki, LeDoux,
and Pruitt voted in favor of the adoption of Sections 1-5 of
CSHB 71(FIN). Senator Micciche voted in favor of the adoption
of Sections 1-5 of CSHB 71(FIN).
The committee took a brief at-ease.
CHAIR PRUITT requested that the aforementioned vote be voided.
A roll call vote was taken. Representatives Kawasaki, LeDoux,
and Pruitt voted in favor of the adoption of Sections 1-5 of
CSHB 71(FIN). Senators Micciche, Gardner, and Coghill voted
against the adoption of Sections 1-5 of CSHB 71(FIN).
Therefore, the motion to adopt Sections 1-5 of CSHB 71(FIN)
failed to be adopted.
9:05:13 AM
CHAIR COGHILL moved that the 2nd Conference Committee on HB 71
adopt Sections 1-7 of SCS CSHB 71(FIN).
CHAIR PRUITT objected.
A roll call vote was taken. Representatives Kawasaki, LeDoux,
and Pruitt voted in opposition to the adoption of Sections 1-7
of SCS CSHB 71(FIN). Senators Micciche, Gardner, and Coghill
voted in favor of the adoption of Sections 1-7 of SCS CSHB
71(FIN). Therefore, the motion to adopt Sections 1-7 of SCS
CSHB 71(FIN) failed.
9:05:50 AM
CHAIR COGHILL moved that the 2nd Conference Committee on HB 71
request limited powers of free conference from the presiding
officers in order to work out the differences. There being no
objection, the request for limited powers of free conference
will be made.
CHAIR PRUITT pointed out that the memorandum requesting the
limited powers of free conference states the specific points
[Section 1, Section 5(b), Sections 6-8 of SCS CSHB 71(FIN)] for
which the limited powers are requested.
9:06:42 AM
CHAIR COGHILL explained that the goal is to have two pieces of
legislation work together, which requires obtaining powers of
free conference. However, the conference committee must first
obtain limited powers of free conference.
9:07:10 AM
CHAIR PRUITT explained that under the limited powers of free
conference committee, the conference committee can adopt any
language, dates, and effective dates. The goal is to act on the
matter today.
9:07:39 AM
CHAIR PRUITT announced that the committee would recess to the
call of the chair.
3:06:36 PM
CHAIR PRUITT reconvened the 2nd Conference Committee on HB 71 at
3:06 p.m. Representatives Pruitt, LeDoux, and Kawasaki, and
Senators Coghill, Gardner, and Micciche were present at the call
to order.
3:07:08 PM
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX moved that the 2nd Conference Committee on
HB 71 adopt Sections 1-5 of CSHB 71(FIN) as a Conference
Committee Substitute (CCS).
CHAIR COGHILL objected.
3:07:31 PM
A roll call vote was taken. Representatives Kawasaki, LeDoux,
and Pruitt voted in favor of the adoption of Sections 1-5 of
CSHB 71(FIN). Senators Micciche, Gardner, and Coghill voted
against the adoption of Sections 1-5 of CSHB 71(FIN).
Therefore, the motion to adopt Sections 1-5 of CSHB 71(FIN)
failed to be adopted.
3:08:03 PM
CHAIR COGHILL moved that the 2nd Conference Committee on HB 71
adopt Sections 1-7 of SCS CSHB 71(FIN).
CHAIR PRUITT objected.
A roll call vote was taken. Representatives Kawasaki, LeDoux,
and Pruitt voted in opposition to the adoption of Sections 1-7
of SCS CSHB 71(FIN). Senators Micciche, Gardner, and Coghill
voted in favor of the adoption of Sections 1-7 of SCS CSHB
71(FIN). Therefore, the motion to adopt Sections 1-7 of SCS
CSHB 71(FIN) failed.
3:08:47 PM
CHAIR COGHILL, being unable to agree on the limited powers of
free conference, moved that the 2nd Conference Committee on HB
71 make request to the presiding officers for the committee to
be discharged.
CHAIR PRUITT said, without objection, so moved. Further, he
stated that letters of request for discharge of the committee
would be presented to the presiding officers of both bodies of
the legislature.
3:09:17 PM
SENATOR MICCICHE offered that the issue at hand has been a
question of procedure not agreement. He stressed that as
elected officials both bodies are working together without
political standing or bias to handle the situation, but must
first seek appropriate avenues to accomplish the task.
CHAIR PRUITT concurred that this is a procedural step towards
agreement.
3:10:06 PM
CHAIR COGHILL interjected that lack of agreement did exist at
the close of the first session of the 28th Alaska State
Legislature, and opined that the current sentiment appears to be
one of accord.
3:10:24 PM
CHAIR PRUITT thanked the participants.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business before the committee, the 2nd
Conference Committee on HB 71, the meeting was adjourned at 3:10
p.m.
