CHAIRMAN KELLY brought SJR 16 (REFORM THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT)
before the committee and directed attention to a proposed Rules CS.
SENATOR LEMAN explained that after the resolution had moved out of
the Senate Resources Committee, the Department of Fish and Game
suggested that on page 2, line 21, insert the words "require
establishment of biologically sound de-listing criteria and
recovery plan population objectives." The department stated the
National Marine Fisheries does not currently do that and it would
it make it very useful to have those criteria and objectives
established.

NEEDS) before the committee, noting there was a proposed Rules CS
for the committee's consideration.
SENATOR LEMAN moved adoption of CSSJR 20(RLS). CHAIRMAN KELLY
objected for an explanation of the changes made in the Rules CS.
SENATOR LEMAN explained that an amendment was made to the
legislation in the Senate Resources Committee. However, because
that language was confusing, it has been reworded on page 2, lines
21 - 23 of the Rules CS to make it clear that it applies to all
lands in Alaska. SENATOR KELLY removed his objection and stated
there being no further objections, CSSJR 20(RLS) was adopted.

approved for calendaring at the discretion of the Chair. Hearing
no objection, it was so ordered.
