ACTION NARRATIVE
1:30:55 PM

Standing Committee meeting to order at 1:30 p.m. Present at the
call to order were Senators Stedman, Ellis, Olson, and Chair

HB 269-IMMUNITY FOR VOL. HEALTH CARE PROVIDER
1:31:50 PM
CHAIR DUNLEAVY announced the consideration of HB 269.
REPRESENTATIVE STEVE THOMPSON, Alaska State Legislature, Juneau,
Alaska, sponsor of HB 269, explained that the bill gives
immunity to volunteer health care providers, especially
dentists, who are planning to participate in the Mission of
Mercy.
1:32:58 PM
SENATOR OLSON asked if other states provide free health care by
licensed providers.
REPRESENTATIVE THOMPSON explained that the Mission of Mercy
started about 13 years ago in one of the southern states and has
expanded across the country. This is the first time it will be
held in Alaska. Plans are to do follow-ups next year in
Fairbanks and Anchorage. Over 200 dentists are signed up to
participate.
SENATOR OLSON asked if there have been complaints of any kind in
other states.
REPRESENTATIVE THOMPSON said he has not heard of any complaints.
JANE PIERSON, Staff, Representative Steve Thompson, Alaska State
Legislature, Juneau, Alaska, suggested Dr. Logan answer the
question.
1:34:26 PM
DR. DAVID LOGAN, DDS, Alaska Dental Society, Juneau, Alaska,
introduced himself.
SENATOR OLSON asked if there have been any complaints that would
give rise to the need for this immunity.
DR. LOGAN said there have been no complaints, just the opposite.
People are grateful for the services and follow-up care is
provided for 30 days.
SENATOR OLSON asked if there has been any morbidity related to
double extractions and abscesses.
DR. LOGAN said no. For the most part, dentists doing those
procedures are oral surgeons who manage cases very thoroughly.
CHAIR DUNLEAVY opened and closed public testimony.
1:37:28 PM
SENATOR STEDMAN moved to report CS for HB 269 from committee
with individual recommendations and attached fiscal notes.
CHAIR DUNLEAVY announced that without objection, CSHB 269(JUD)
was reported from the Senate Labor and Commerce Standing
Committee.
1:37:47 PM
At ease
SB 183-EXTEND EMERGING ENERGY TECHNOLOGY FUND
1:39:27 PM
CHAIR DUNLEAVY reconvened the meeting and announced the
consideration of SB 183. He said it was the second hearing on
the bill.
JESSE LOGAN, Staff, Senator Lesil McGuire, Alaska State
Legislature, Juneau, Alaska, summarized SB 183 on behalf of the
sponsor. He read from the following:
SB 183 seeks to move the termination date of the
Emerging Energy Technology Fund from January 1, 2015,
to January 1, 2020. The Fund was created in AS
42.45.375 under the Alaska Sustainable Energy Act to
promote the expansion of energy sources available to
all Alaskans. With a matching grant from the Denali
Commission, a total of $8.9 million was available.
Round one is underway and round two is expected to
have approximately $2 million available for funds. It
is not an angel fund; it is designed for projects that
are still in the research and development phase with
the expectation that they will be available for
commercially ready projects within five years.
EMILY FORD, Public Outreach Liaison, Alaska Energy Authority
(AEA), Anchorage, Alaska, offered to answer questions.
1:40:41 PM
CHAIR DUNLEAVY opened and closed public testimony.
1:41:19 PM
SENATOR STEDMAN moved to report SB 183 from committee with
individual recommendations and attached fiscal note.
CHAIR DUNLEAVY announced that without objection, SB 183 was
reported from the Senate Labor and Commerce Standing Committee.
1:41:30 PM
At ease
HB 167-ARCHITECTS, ENGINEERS, SURVEYORS
1:42:46 PM
CHAIR DUNLEAVY reconvened the meeting and announced the
consideration of HB 167. It is the second hearing on the bill.
ANNA LATHAM, Staff, Representative Kurt Olson, Alaska State
Legislature, Juneau, Alaska, presented HB 167 on behalf of the
sponsor. She explained that the bill is an Act relating to the
regulation of architects, engineers, land surveyors, and
landscape architects. It is a housekeeping bill and all changes
were brought forth by their board. It requires registrants to
sign the seals on documents instead of stamping the documents,
signing and indicating which portion of the documents they are
taking credit for. It requires documents containing multiple
fields of practice to be sealed and signed by each registrant
and it adds definitions.
She noted the bill passed the House last year by a vote of 29:0
and it was previously heard by this committee on February 11,
2014.
CHAIR DUNLEAVY asked if there were any questions.
1:44:34 PM
CHAIR DUNLEAVY opened and closed public testimony.
1:45:12 PM
SENATOR STEDMAN moved to report CS for HB 167, Version N, from
committee with individual recommendations and attached fiscal
note.
CHAIR DUNLEAVY announced that without objection, CSHB 167(RLS)
was reported from the Senate Labor and Commerce Standing
Committee.
1:45:29 PM
There being nothing further to come before the committee, Chair
Dunleavy adjourned the Senate Labor and Commerce Standing
Committee at 1:45 p.m.
