ACTION NARRATIVE
TAPE 00-05 , SIDE A
CHAIRMAN KELLY called the Senate Rules Committee meeting to order
at 11:20 a.m. Present were Senators Kelly, Leman, Ellis, and
Pearce. The first order to come before the committee was a public
hearing for CSHB 340(CRA).
HB 340-KETCHIKAN INDIAN CORPORATION AS A RHA
SENATOR ELLIS asked why the Ketchikan Indian Corporation excluded
Saxman.
MR. PETER ECKLAND, Legislative Staff for Representative Bill
Williams, stated Saxman has it's own IRA council and it does not
want to be included.
SENATOR LEMAN moved all versions of HB 340 with individual
recommendations and accompanying fiscal notes to be calendared at
the Chairman's discretion. Without objection, the motion carried.
SB 163-TRUSTS AND TRUSTEES
MS. SUE MOSSGROVE, Legislative Staff to Senator Robin Taylor,
stated SB 163 was amended before moving out of the Judiciary
committee. The Division of Legal Services stated the amendment
changed the intent of SB 163 so a CS for SB 163 was drafted.
SENATOR ELLIS asked if Senator Taylor was "cleaning up" past trust
legislation, and whether the intent of CSSB 163 is to conceal a
trust account from a child.
MS. MOSSGROVE stated yes, CSSB 163(RLS) was drafted so that the
existence of a trust could be concealed from a minor so that minors
receiving trusts in the future lead productive lives and not rely
on the trust account.
SENATOR ELLIS asked if CS for SB 163(RLS) gives trustee's the
option of telling one beneficiary and concealing from another
beneficiary.
MS. MOSSGROVE stated CS for SB 163(RLS) relieves the trustee from
the duty to provide notification of a trust account.
SENATOR LEMAN moved to adopt the Rules CS for SB 163 as the working
version of the committee. Without objection, the motion carried.
SENATOR LEMAN moved all versions of SB 163 with individual
recommendations and accompanying fiscal notes for calendaring at
the Chairman's discretion. Without objection, the motion carried.
There being no further business to come before the committee
CHAIRMAN KELLY adjourned the meeting at 11:27 a.m.
