Number 001
CHAIRMAN RANDY PHILLIPS called the Senate Rules Committee meeting
to order at 11:55 a.m. All members were present. The committee
first took up SB 363.
SENATOR THERRIAULT moved to calendar SB 363-CAMPAIGN FINANCE
PROVISIONS and its attached fiscal note at the Chairman's
discretion.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS announced that with no objection, the motion
carried.
SENATOR THERRIAULT moved and asked unanimous consent to calendar
SB 370-CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION PROCEDURES and its two fiscal
notes at the Chairman's discretion.
SENATOR ELLIS objected for the purpose of discussion. He then
asked why the default location is the University of Alaska in
Fairbanks.
SENATOR THERRIAULT answered it is because the original
constitutional convention was called in Fairbanks. Background
information shows that the framers wanted it to take place
outside of Juneau, the regular seat of politics. The entire plan
currently defaults to the call as it was originally made. He
added that is the default so the legislature can choose the
location and method of election next year.
SENATOR ELLIS withdrew his objection.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS announced that with no objection, SB 370 would
be calendared.
The committee took up HB 397-EXEMPTIONS FROM DRIVER'S LICENSING.
SENATOR ELLIS noted that Chairman Phillips' announcement on the
Senate floor did not include HB 397.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS said his earlier announcement did.
SENATOR ELLIS said he would have preferred that the Chairman had
announced the specific items to be dealt with so that the public
could stay informed.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS announced that he would hold HB 397 until the
following day.
There being no further business to come before the committee,
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS adjourned the meeting at 12:00 noon.
