ACTION NARRATIVE
TAPE 98-7, SIDE A
CHAIRMAN KELLY called the Senate Rules Committee meeting to order
at 11:47 a.m., and noted the presence of Senators Leman, Taylor,
Duncan and Kelly.
CHAIRMAN KELLY brought HB 73 - SALMON MARKETING ASSESSMENT & ASMI
before the committee as the first order of business.
SENATOR LEMAN moved and asked unanimous consent HB 73 be approved
for calendaring at the discretion of the Chair. Hearing no
objection, it was so ordered.
CHAIRMAN KELLY brought HJR 68 am - CONT OPERATION OF MCKINLEY PARK
AIRSTRIP before the committee.
SENATOR LEMAN moved and asked unanimous consent HJR 68 am be
approved for calendaring at the discretion of the Chair. Hearing
no objection, it was so ordered.
CHAIRMAN KELLY brought CSHB 204(RES) - MORATORIA ON COMMERCIAL
FISHERIES ENTRY before the committee
SENATOR LEMAN moved and asked unanimous consent CSHB 204(RES) be
approved for calendaring at the discretion of the Chair. Hearing
no objection, it was so ordered.
CHAIRMAN KELLY brought CSHB 323(FIN) - PERS CREDIT FOR
NONCERTIFICATED EMPLOYEES before the committee as the final order
of business.
SENATOR LEMAN asked if the committee could have a brief explanation
of the bill by its sponsor because he had some concerns with the
legislation.
REPRESENTATIVE TOM BRICE, prime sponsor of HB 323, explained
concern had been raised earlier that there would be a tremendous
fiscal note to the school districts. The language was fixed to
where the employees cover the entire cost of the increase which
will maintain the actuarial soundness of the PERS system. This
will allow the employees to buy the extra three months themselves
with no impact to the school districts. It also provides the
choice of whether to opt in and participate or to not participate.
The committee took a brief at-ease, and when it came back to order,
CHAIRMAN KELLY announced CSHB 323(FIN) would be held in committee
for further action.
There being no further business to come before the committee, the
meeting adjourned at 11:58 a.m.
