Number 001
CHAIRMAN RICK HALFORD called the Senate Rules Committee meeting to
order at 1:07 p.m. and opened the public hearing on HB 88 am (MAY
1 IS FAMILY DAY/MAY IS FAMILY MONTH). There was a proposed SCS HB
88(RLS) before the committee for its consideration.
Number 015
REPRESENTATIVE CON BUNDE, prime sponsor of HB 88, explained the
legislation establishes the importance of the family in our
society. Currently, there is an effort going on to establish May
1 as a nationwide day of recognition, and in order to do that, each
state must adopt similar legislation.
Representative Bunde outlined the following changes made to the
House version of the bill and incorporated into the Senate Rules
SCS:
(1) On page 1, lines 7-12 language was deleted which may
reflect the status of families and children in Alaska today, but
may not be accurate in the future;
(2) On page 2, line 8, the word "early" was deleted to
clarify that spring in Alaska is not always early;
(3) On page 2, line 17, the language was changed to reflect
the rights and responsibilities of both the children and the
parents; and
(4) On page 2, lines 20-21, the requirement to make an annual
report to the legislature was deleted.
Number 095
SENATOR ZHAROFF moved that SCS HB 88(RLS) be adopted. Hearing no
objection, it was so ordered.
Number 125
SENATOR LITTLE expressed her hope that not only will this bill be
passed, but that it will be followed up with actual funding which
will ensure aid to families in need.
Number 137
There being no other witnesses present to testify on SCS HB
88(RLS), Chairman Halford closed the public hearing.
Number 139
SENATOR LITTLE moved that SCS HB 88(RLS) be passed out of committee
with individual recommendations. Hearing no objection, it was so
ordered.
Number 142
SENATOR JACKO moved and asked unanimous consent that HB 88 am be
approved for calendaring at the Chair's discretion. Hearing no
objection, it was so ordered.
Number 145
CHAIRMAN HALFORD brought HJR 11 (REPEAL OF REGULATIONS BY
LEGISLATURE) before the committee as the final order of business.
He stated the bill did not require a substantive hearing, only a
calendaring motion.
SENATOR JACKO moved and asked unanimous consent that HJR 11 be
approved for calendaring at the Chair's discretion. Hearing no
objection, it was so ordered.
There being no further business to come before the committee, the
meeting was adjourned at 1:15 p.m
