CHAIR CLAMAN informed the committee that discussions with
stakeholders took place prior to developing the changes included
in the Senate committee substitute.
2:34:17 PM
CHAIR CLAMAN solicited a motion.
2:34:23 PM
SENATOR KAUFMAN moved to adopt the Judiciary Senate committee
substitute (SCS) for CSHB 97, work order 33-LS0392\Y, as the
working document.
2:34:37 PM
CHAIR CLAMAN found no objection and SCS CSHB 97 was adopted as
the working document.
CHAIR CLAMAN noted that the Senate committee substitute, page 2,
[line 3,] changed the timeframe from 60 days to 120 days. He
remarked that there had been considerable discussion about the
appropriate number of days. Ultimately, the Judiciary SCS
included 120 days, largely because he believed it provided
greater consumer protection than 180 days. He invited committee
members to offer an amendment if they wished to further discuss
or change the number of days.
CHAIR CLAMAN found no further discussion or amendments and
invited Mr. Nye to make closing comments on HB 97.

RILEY NYE, Staff, Representative Mike Prax, Alaska State
Legislature, Juneau, Alaska, provided closing remarks on HB 97.

the Judiciary SCS, supports the changes.

attached zero fiscal note(s).

reported from the Senate Judiciary Standing Committee.
2:37:13 PM
There being no further business to come before the committee,
Chair Claman adjourned the Senate Judiciary Standing Committee
meeting at 2:37 p.m.
