ACTION NARRATIVE
TAPE 97-2, SIDE A
CHAIRMAN KELLY called the Senate Rules Committee meeting to order
at 12:26 p.m. He noted all committee members were present.
CHAIRMAN KELLY brought SB 7 (HUNTING SPORT FISH TRAPPING
FEES/LICENSES) before the committee as the first order of business.
He directed attention to a proposed amendment and asked the bill's
sponsor, Senator Donley, to explain the change.
SENATOR DONLEY explained the legislation sets up a slightly
different scheme for nonresident license fees, and as that scheme
was being developed with the help of the Department of Fish & Game,
they failed to make the king salmon tag parallel to the new
nonresident license scheme. The legislation deletes the current
three-day nonresident license and it goes to a one-day, seven-day,
14-day system. The amendment to Section 7 on page 3 will set out
that same system for a king salmon tag.
It was further explained by Senator Donley that if an individual
purchases a one-day tag or even a seven-day tag, this legislation
doesn't have any impact on them. That is consistent with the
purpose of the bill, which is to address people who come and stay
for the entire season. He added that the legislation also removes
an annual tag.
SENATOR TOGERSON inquired if changes were made to the resident tag.
SENATOR DONLEY answered the only impact on the resident tag fees in
the legislation is in the amendment to the combination resident
licensure, but the fees are not being changed for the resident
tags. It is cheaper for the state when residents buy combination
licenses, because they don't have to pay the vendors for every
license they issue, so the change encourages people to buy the
combination licenses.
SENATOR LEMAN moved adoption of the following amendment to be
incorporated into a Rules CS. SENATOR TAYLOR objected.
Amendment No. 1
Page 3, lines 13-14:
Delete: "(B) [FOR A THREE-DAY TAG ...................... 15
(C)] for a 14-day [OR ANNUAL] tag.......... 30 [35]."
Insert: "(B) for a seven-day [THREE DAY] tag........ 30 [15]
(C) for a 14 day [OR ANNUAL] tag........... 50 [35].
The roll was taken with the following result: Senators Torgerson,
Leman and Kelly voted "Yea" and Senators Taylor and Duncan voted
"Nay." CHAIRMAN KELLY stated the motion carried.
SENATOR LEMAN moved CSSB 7(RLS) be passed out of committee with
individual recommendations and that it be approved for calendaring.
Hearing no objection, it was so ordered.
CHAIRMAN KELLY brought SSSB 38 (ANATOMICAL GIFTS,LIVING WILLS & DN
ORDER) before the committee. Hearing no discussion, he asked for
the pleasure of the committee.
SENATOR TAYLOR moved and asked unanimous consent SSSB 38 be
approved for calendaring. Hearing no objection, it was so ordered.
CHAIRMAN KELLY brought SB 84 (ASSETS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA)
before the committee. Hearing no discussion, he asked for the
pleasure of the committee.
SENATOR LEMAN moved and asked unanimous consent SB 84 be approved
for calendaring. Hearing no objection, it was so ordered.
CHAIRMAN KELLY brought CSHB 43(FIN) (MOTOR VEHICLE INSPECTIONS,
FEES & TAXES) before the committee. Hearing no discussion, he
asked for the pleasure of the committee.
SENATOR LEMAN moved and asked unanimous consent CSHB 43(FIN) be
approved for calendaring. Hearing no objection, it was so ordered.
There being no further business to come before the committee, the
meeting adjourned at 12:36 p.m.
