ACTION NARRATIVE
CHAIR HOLLIS FRENCH called the Senate Judiciary Standing
Committee meeting to order at 2:09:26 PM. Present at the call to
order were Senators Therriault, Wielechowski, and Chair French.
SB 168-PASSENGER VESSEL TAX CREDIT
CHAIR FRENCH announced the consideration of SB 168.
2:09:58 PM
SENATOR THERRIAULT said that regarding discussion the previous
day regarding building infrastructure in communities, it won't
be possible to apply the funds in question to the communities.
Testimony had been heard about support for the bill from
communities that will benefit from the tax; whether or not
passage of the bill will result in communities imposing their
own head taxes, the will of the people is still honored. Having
a better understanding of the math, he is comfortable forwarding
the bill to the floor.
He then made a motion to move SB 168 from committee with
individual recommendations and attached fiscal note(s). There
being no objection, the motion carried.
SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI said that he won't object to moving the
bill to the floor but he thinks it is unconstitutional and will
vote no on ultimately passing it.
There being no further business to come before the committee,
Chair French adjourned the meeting at 2:12:45 PM.
