ACTION NARRATIVE
9:40:07 AM
CHAIR LINDA MENARD called the Senate State Affairs Standing
Committee meeting to order at 9:40 a.m. Present at the call to
order were Senators Meyer, Paskvan, Kookesh and Menard.
HCR 20-SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH
9:40:48 AM
CHAIR MENARD announced the consideration of HCR 20.
KAREN SCHUESSLER, aide to Representative Fairclough, said HCR 20
proclaims April 2010 to be Sexual Assault Awareness month.
Sexual assault affects men, women and children of all racial and
economic backgrounds. A person is 2.6 times more likely to be
sexually assaulted in Alaska than any other state. Sexual
assault leaves long-lasting physical and emotional scars that
can influence every aspect of an individual's life.
9:42:03 AM
CHAIR MENARD opened and closed public testimony.
SENATOR MEYER noted that he and Representative Fairclough served
on the Standing Together Against Rape (STAR) board of directors
for years. He suggested that bringing the resolution up every
year, rather than making it permanent, acts as a reminder that
sexual assault is a problem in Alaska that needs continual work.
CHAIR MENARD said she appreciated the voice for victims of these
crimes.
SENATOR PASKVAN commented that he also feels that bringing the
resolution up each year is important; it is actively before the
Legislature and is not forgotten about.
9:43:48 AM
SENATOR MEYER moved to report HCR 20 from committee with
individual recommendations and attached zero fiscal note(s).
There being no objection, the motion carried.
9:44:15 AM
CHAIR MENARD, seeing no further business to come before the
committee, adjourned the meeting at 9:44 a.m.
