Number 001
CHAIRMAN ROBIN TAYLOR called the Senate Judiciary Committee
meeting to order at 9:20 p.m. Senators Cowdery, Donley,
Therriault and Taylor were present. The committee took up HB
2001.
HB2001-REGULATORY COM. OF ALASKA: SUNSET & MISC
CHAIRMAN TAYLOR informed members that a work draft to HB 2001 was
prepared and that he would entertain a motion to adopt it.
SENATOR DONLEY moved to adopt the work draft (labeled 22-
GH2111\F) as the proposed committee substitute.
CHAIRMAN TAYLOR announced that without objection, the motion
carried.
CHAIRMAN TAYLOR offered Amendment 1, which corrects a
typographical error on page 1, line 2; it changes the word "tack"
to "task." He then noted that without objection, Amendment 1 was
adopted.
SENATOR THERRIAULT moved to insert Section 1 [Sec.42.05.175] from
HB 2001 into the work draft [Amendment 2].
CHAIRMAN TAYLOR explained that Section 1 takes in all of the
substantive matters on pages 1 (except the title), 2, and through
line 7 of page 3.
SENATOR DONLEY asked if the motion includes a conforming title
amendment.
CHAIRMAN TAYLOR verified that it does.
SENATOR DONLEY noted that Section 1 falls under the title of HB
2001.
CHAIRMAN TAYLOR pointed out that the title of the committee
substitute will have to be redrafted and that a title resolution
has passed.
SENATOR THERRIAULT stated, "If it takes a title change, yes."
CHAIRMAN TAYLOR noted that with no further discussion or
objection to Amendment 2, it was adopted.
SENATOR THERRIAULT moved to adopt Amendment 3, which would change
the date on page 1, lines 7-8 from September 30, 2002 to June 30,
2003 and explained that the change would provide a one-year
extension.
CHAIRMAN TAYLOR objected to the adoption of Amendment 3.
SENATOR THERRIAULT pointed out that the Legislative Budget and
Audit auditor recommended the Regulatory Commission of Alaska be
extended for four years. He noted that because of concern that
this issue be revisited, it makes sense to him to shorten it to
one year, which he believes is acceptable.
The committee took a brief at-ease.
CHAIRMAN TAYLOR called the meeting back to order and requested a
roll call vote on Amendment 3. The committee took a second at-
ease and upon reconvening a roll call vote was taken. The motion
to adopt Amendment 3 failed with Senators Donley, Cowdery, and
Taylor opposed and Senators Therriault and Ellis in favor.
SENATOR COWDERY moved SCS HB 2001(JUD) to the next committee of
referral. There being no objection, the motion carried.
There being no further business to come before the committee,
CHAIRMAN TAYLOR adjourned the meeting.
