ACTION NARRATIVE
TAPE 95-5, SIDE A
CHAIRMAN MILLER called the Senate Rules Committee meeting to order
at 12:20 p.m.
CHAIRMAN MILLER brought CSHCR 9(TRA) (SCHOOL BUS DRIVER
APPRECIATION DAY) before the committee. There being no discussion,
he asked for the will of the committee.
SENATOR SHARP moved and asked unanimous consent that CSHCR 9(TRA)
be approved for calendaring. Hearing no objection, it was so
ordered.
CHAIRMAN MILLER brought CSHB 26(JUD) (DEPOSITIONS IN CRIMINAL
CASES) before the committee. There being no discussion, he asked
for the will of the committee.
SENATOR SHARP moved and asked unanimous consent that CSHB 26(JUD)
be approved for calendaring. Hearing no objection, it was so
ordered.
CHAIRMAN MILLER brought SB 16 (INCREASE LAND GRANT TO UNIV. OF
ALASKA) before the committee.
SENATOR SHARP moved and asked unanimous consent that SB 16 be
approved for calendaring. Hearing no objection, it was so ordered.
CHAIRMAN MILLER opened the hearing on SB 46 (PROSECUTE JUVENILE AS
ADULT IN DIST. CT.).
JOE AMBROSE, staff to Senator Robin Taylor who is prime sponsor of
SB 46, stated Senator Taylor was asking that the committee consider
a proposed Rules CS. The following language was added on page 2,
line 27 - 30 to clear up intent of a provision added in the Senate
Finance Committee: " however, unless there is lawful reason for
further detention, a person who is under the age of 18 and who has
been arrested for violating AS 04.16.050 shall be cited for the
offense and released to the person's parent, guardian, or legal
custodian."
Mr. Ambrose explained that the Finance Committee added "minor
consuming" to the list of reasons why an officer can make a
warrantless arrest. Senator Taylor wants to be sure that this
intent is not punitive, that it is protective. If a minor is
arrested for minor consuming without a warrant the job of the
police is to cite that individual and then get the individual into
the care of a responsible adult.
SENATOR SALO moved that CSSB 46(RLS) be adopted. Hearing no
objection, the Chairman stated the committee substitute was
adopted.
SENATOR SHARP moved and asked unanimous consent that SB 46 be
approved for calendaring. Hearing no objection, it was so ordered.
There being no further business to come before the committee, the
meeting was adjourned at 12:29 p.m.
