ACTION NARRATIVE
3:33:29 PM
CHAIR MIKE SHOWER called the Senate State Affairs Standing
Committee meeting to order at 3:33 p.m. Present at the call to
order were Senators Holland, Kawasaki, Reinbold, Costello, (all
via Teams) and Chair Shower.
CHAIR SHOWER reviewed the remote meeting protocols, including
the roll call that showed the presence and location of the
committee members.
Roll call: SENATOR REINBOLD, Capitol room 427, SENATOR HOLLAND,
Capitol room 113, SENATOR COSTELLO, Capitol room 119, SENATOR
KAWASAKI, Capitol room 07, and CHAIR SHOWER in the Butrovich
room, Capitol 205.
He reviewed the agenda.
SB 23-INITIATIVE SEVERABILITY
3:37:00 PM
CHAIR SHOWER announced the consideration of SENATE BILL NO. 23
"An Act relating to proposing and enacting laws by initiative."
SENATOR JOSH REVAK, Alaska State Legislature, Juneau, Alaska,
sponsor of SB 23, summarized that SB 23 seeks to restore an
important check in the initiative process. When individuals sign
an initiative petition, the courts should not be empowered to
decide how much the language on the ballot can differ from the
language in the petition. He said the legislature has a right to
enact substantially similar legislation to replace the
initiative, but it is denied that right if the court severs
provisions of the initiative and it goes directly on the ballot.
3:38:53 PM
SENATOR COSTELLO asked how this has been a problem in the past.
DIRK CRAFT, Staff, Senator Josh Revak, Alaska State Legislature,
Juneau, Alaska, explained that the Alaska Supreme Court has
ruled on a number of occasions that provisions of an initiative
are severable. The most recent was the 2018 salmon initiative.
The court struck a number of provisions after the legislative
review process and the measure went on the ballot.
CHAIR SHOWER asked if he had other examples.
MR. CRAFT cited McAlpine v. University of Alaska in 1988 where
the court severed a spending provision in the initiative.
3:40:09 PM
SENATOR COSTELLO asked if the court has weighed in on the
constitutionality of severability, which statute prohibits.
MR. CRAFT answered that he did not recall the court speaking
directly on severability.
SENATOR COSTELLO asked how many states have severability in
their initiative process.
MR. CRAFT answered that NCSL research indicated that more than
20 states have severability in their initiative language, and
the process is either direct or indirect. Alaska has an indirect
initiative process meaning that the legislature has the final
review before the measure goes to the voters. States that have a
direct initiative process more typically have severability
language, so it is unusual to have both the legislative check
and severability. This can potentially override the legislative
check.
SENATOR KAWASAKI asked if all the members had the memo from
Legislative Legal Services on this topic.
CHAIR SHOWER confirmed that his office distributed the memo
dated 3/21/21 to all the members.
SENATOR KAWASAKI said he would like the committee to talk about
that opinion that questions the constitutionality of the bill.
CHAIR SHOWER asked the sponsor to comment.
3:42:57 PM
SENATOR REVAK said SB 23 seeks to resolve the situation where a
group could put forward an initiative knowing that it has
unconstitutional provisions and that the court will sever those
provisions before it goes to the voters. The voters may not see
the same language on the ballot that was on the petition they
signed. This bypasses the legislature's check and constitutional
authority under Title 11, Section 4 to enact substantially
similar legislation before an initiative goes to the ballot.
CHAIR SHOWER asked whether he or his staff had discussed this
with Legislative Legal Services and whether their response was
similar to Senator Kawasaki's characterization.
MR. CRAFT replied Legislative Legal Services was waiting for the
sponsor to submit the question in writing before drafting a
formal response. He agreed to distribute the response to members
as soon as possible.
3:45:16 PM
CHAIR SHOWER recalled that a similar issue came up with an
initiative in the last year or two.
MR. CRAFT said he did not recall that.
SENATOR KAWASAKI said he had no problem moving the bill on to
the Judiciary Committee to review the constitutional issues.
CHAIR SHOWER said he looked forward to having the debate in that
committee.
3:46:47 PM
SENATOR COSTELLO said this legislation is important because it
will result in more time and care going into the language that
goes on the initiative petition. That language does matter, and
it should not be different when it appears on the ballot. She
said she was familiar with the memo, but the courts are the
final arbiter as to whether something is constitutional. She
thanked the sponsor for introducing the legislation.
CHAIR SHOWER described it as disingenuous to change the language
in an initiative after people sign. He reiterated that it is
appropriate to look at the constitutional issue in the Judiciary
Committee.
3:49:16 PM
CHAIR SHOWER opened public testimony on SB 23.
3:49:52 PM
KATI CAPOZZI, President/CEO, Alaska Chamber of Commerce,
Anchorage, Alaska, stated that the chamber believes that SB 23
will maintain the integrity of the signature gathering process
for ballot measures. Last year the chamber membership voted to
support the following policy position statement:
Initiative petitions often ask voters to make simple
yes or no decisions about complex issues without
subjecting them to detailed expert analysis or the
opportunity to participate through a public process.
Changes in the initiative process should produce more
transparency and better public policy in a
comprehensive and balanced manner equally benefiting
both voters and the legislative process. As such, we
support SB 23 and the bill sponsor's efforts to
correct a deficiency that has been overlooked in the
ballot measure process. We also believe that SB 23
will result in fewer protracted legal battles once the
ballot measure proponents understand that should any
section of their initiative not pass constitutional
muster, they would be required to revert to the
signature gathering stage of the process. This will
result in more carefully crafted ballot measures being
proposed from the outset, which means a smoother, more
predictable and transparent process for all parties
whether they support or oppose the ballot measure in
question.
3:52:53 PM
SENATOR KAWASAKI asked whether the chamber would be willing to
put forward a constitutional amendment dealing specifically with
Article 11 Section 7. [Ms. Capozzi was not online to hear the
question and Senator Kawasaki said he would call her and pose
the question.]
3:53:41 PM
BETHANY MARCUM, Alaska Policy Forum, Anchorage, Alaska stated
that Alaska is fortunate to have a constitutionally enshrined
ballot initiative process. This is a valuable right but for it
to have value for future generations of Alaskans, it is
imperative to ensure the integrity of the process. Past Alaska
Supreme Court decisions created a loophole, which allows the
court to sever parts of the initiative language. While removing
an unconstitutional provision may be well intended, the result
is that the words that appear on the ballot may be different
from the language that voters signed on the petition. She said
this is an injustice to Alaskan voters and it strips the
legislature of its right as a counterbalance in the initiative
process. She said it would be good policy for the legislature to
address this by passing SB 23.
3:55:44 PM
MARLEANNA HALL, Executive Director, Resource Development Council
for Alaska (RDC), Willow, Alaska, stated that RTC has reviewed
SB 23 and requests the committee move it along. It will ensure
that the language on an initiative petition remains unchanged
when it appears on the ballot. Initiative proponents would no
longer be able to rely on Alaska's courts to do their legal and
editing services; if the court were to sever provisions from the
initiative petition that voters signed, it would not be passed
along to the ballot box.
3:57:25 PM
CHAIR SHOWER closed public testimony on SB 23 and solicited a
motion.
3:57:45 PM
SENATOR REINBOLD moved to report SB 23, work order 32-LS0209\A,
from committee with individual recommendations and attached
fiscal note(s). [The original version of the bill passed from
committee. It was not amended.]
CHAIR SHOWER found no objection and SB 23 was reported from the
Senate State Affairs Standing Committee.
SB 77-USE OF INTERNET FOR CHARITABLE GAMING
3:59:06 PM
CHAIR SHOWER announced the consideration of SENATE BILL NO. 77
"An Act relating to charitable gaming online ticket sales and
activities."
He asked Senator Costello to refresh the committee's recall of
the bill.
3:59:28 PM
SENATOR COSTELLO, speaking as Chair of the Senate Labor and
Commerce Committee, advised that SB 77 is one of the sweet of
bills the Senate Labor and Commerce Standing Committee
introduced that were lifted from the governor's disaster
declaration bill and are intended to make Alaska laws more
COVID-19 aware. She said her aide would go over what is in the
bill.
MELODIE WILTERDINK, Staff, Senator Mia Costello, Alaska State
Legislature, Juneau, Alaska, summarized that SB 77 will
establish standards for online charitable gaming to ensure
compliance with online gaming laws. This includes age and
location verification and data security standards. These online
ticket sales will be for raffles, lotteries, dog-mushing
contests, and certain types of classics. The winning tickets can
be drawn online.
CHAIR SHOWER found no questions or comments.
4:01:06 PM
CHAIR SHOWER opened public testimony on SB 77; finding none, he
closed public testimony.
4:01:36 PM
SENATOR KAWASAKI thanked the sponsor for introducing the bill
because this authority has been a huge benefit to charitable
organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
CHAIR SHOWER offered his belief that this bill will help
organizations raise more funds for the good work they do.
SENATOR COSTELLO thanked the committee for hearing the bill and
taking action.
4:03:06 PM
SENATOR REINBOLD moved to report SB 77, work order 32-LS0530\B,
from committee [with individual recommendations and] attached
fiscal note(s).
CHAIR SHOWER found no objection and SB 77 was reported from the
Senate State Affairs Standing Committee.
SB 118-CMTE ON NULLIFICATION OF FEDERAL LAWS
4:03:34 PM
CHAIR SHOWER announced the consideration of SENATE BILL NO. 118
"An Act establishing the committee on nullification of federal
laws; and providing a directive to the lieutenant governor."
4:03:51 PM
SENATOR REINBOLD, speaking as sponsor of SB 118, introduced the
legislation first by reading from a document authored by the
North American Law Center. [A copy of the document is in the
bill file.] She further introduced the bill speaking to the
following sponsor statement: [Original punctuation provided.]
The purpose of SB 118 is to invalidate any federal law
that the state views as unconstitutional. Thomas
Jefferson wrote "nullification?is the rightful remedy"
in a draft of the Kentucky resolution in 1798. There
are more than a dozen other states include Alabama,
Arkansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Wyoming, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South
Dakota, West Virginia, and Iowa. SB118 creates a
committee to review federal law and exercise state
sovereignty. The committee is comprised of the
President of the senate, six members and not more than
4 from one political party, and the House of
Representatives appointed by the speaker as well as 6
appointed members not more than 4 from each political
party.
4:10:18 PM
SENATOR REINBOLD said it is important for the people to
understand that any federal law or mandate that is
unconstitutional on its face does not need to be nullified. The
Committee on Nullification of Federal Laws is a formal committee
of the legislative branch that is created to address serious
issues such as the infringement on gun rights.
4:11:28 PM
SENATOR REINBOLD paraphrased the following sectional analysis
for SB 118: [Original punctuation provided.]
Section One: Establishes a committee on Nullification
of Federal Laws as a permanent interim committee of
the legislature composed of:
a. President of the senate, or the President's
designee
b. Six members of the senate appointed by the
president of the senate with no more than four
members being of the same political party.
c. The Speaker of the House of Representatives or
the speakers designee
d. Six members of the house of representatives
appointed by the speaker with not more than four
members being of the same political party.
Section Two: Adds a new section, Directive, the Lt.
Governor shall forward a copy of the enrolled version
of this bill to the President of the United Sates, the
President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of
the United States House of Representatives, and each
member of the Alaska congressional delegation.
CHAIR SHOWER found no questions or comments
4:12:45 PM
CHAIR SHOWER opened public testimony on SB 118.
4:13:21 PM
STUART THOMPSON, representing self, Wasilla, Alaska stated that
SB 118 is a good idea and constitutionally justified in the
pursuit of the philosophy of the separation of powers and a
series of checks and balances. The founders understood that
abuse of power and government corruption has the potential to
grow through time. He highlighted that Art. XII, Sec. 14
empowers the legislature or the Alaska people to check federal
statutes infringing upon certain Alaskan interests. He suggested
the members of the committee formed by this bill study and
comprehend this provision. He recommended modifications to the
bill to defend it against inappropriate attacks or uncontrolled
judicial interpretation. He urged the committee to pass the bill
quickly.
4:16:10 PM
MIKE COONS, representing self, Palmer, Alaska, stated full
support for SB 118. He charged that Congress and the White House
are attacking constitutional rights on a daily basis. He said
Alaska is thankfully a sanctuary state due to previous
legislatures. He emphasized that Alaska, along with other
conservative constitution-loving states must join in to tell the
socialist Congress and now the White House a resounding no. He
said the constitution did not envision a central government but
rather a group of states with powers. He said nullification is a
solid existing law for both individuals and the state to use to
address harmful federal laws. He said this legislation is needed
and he hopes other states follow Alaska's example.
4:18:59 PM
CHRIS EICHENLAUB, representing self, Wasilla, Alaska stated that
he was speaking in support of SB 118 because it is a great idea.
He thanked the sponsor for introducing the bill.
CHAIR SHOWER expressed concern that regardless of which party is
in office, there has been a consistent march toward federal
supremacy. He voiced support for local control.
4:20:25 PM
CHRISTINE HUTCHINSON, representing self, Kenai, Alaska, stated
support for SB 118 and the sovereign rights of states. She said
the federal government is overrunning states' rights and it is
the obligation of each state to hold the federal government
accountable for infringing. She expressed hope that all Senators
support SB 118 and urged them to read her POMS.
4:21:25 PM
CHAIR SHOWER closed public testimony on SB 118 and advised that
written testimony could be sent to [email protected] and it would
be entered into the public record.
[SB 118 was held in committee.]
SB 120-ADMIN. REGULATION REVIEW COMMITTEE
4:22:00 PM
CHAIR SHOWER announced the consideration of SENATE BILL NO. 120
"An Act establishing the Administrative Regulation Review
Committee."
4:22:12 PM
SENATOR REINBOLD, speaking as sponsor of SB 120, stated that
this legislation reestablishes the Administrative Regulation
Review Committee, so the legislature is once again able to
review all regulations and statutes. She said the need for this
became apparent when the governor suspended so many regulations
during the COVID-19 pandemic. The separation of powers with
checks and balances by the legislative branch is a critical part
of the US system of government. Constitutionally, the
legislature is the policy making branch and the executive branch
executes those policies.
SENATOR REINBOLD said reestablishing the Administrative
Regulation Review Committee will ensure that regulations
promulgated by the executive branch meet the intent of the laws
the legislature enacted. This committee will investigate
regulations that standing committees identify as cause for
concern and evaluate the legality and constitutionality of
proposed regulations for the state agency that has the statutory
authority to adopt the proposed regulations. She emphasized that
checks and balances are part of the US form of government and
each branch exercises certain powers that the other two branches
can check.
CHAIR SHOWER found no comments or questions and asked for a
sectional analysis.
4:25:59 PM
SENATOR REINBOLD presented the sectional analysis for SB 120.
Section 1 identified AS 44.62.010 - AS 44.62.325 to
apply to regulations adopted by the commission.
Section 2 amends AS 18.56.088(a) to say the board
shall submit a regulation to the Administrative
Regulation Review Committee within 45 days of
adoption.
Section 3 amends AS 24.05.182(a) to say a standing
committee of the legislature can review, amend, or
repeal a regulation before the date the regulation is
scheduled by the department or agency to be adopted,
amended, or repealed.
4:26:51 PM
Section 4 adds new subsections to AS 24.05.182 that
state a standing committee can review a regulation to
determine legislative intent. If the regulation does
meet legislative intent, the standing committee's
findings shall be transmitted to the Administrative
Regulation Review Committee.
Section 5 amends AS 24.08.035(f) to say that if the
deadline is not met, the agency changing the
regulation must report to the Administrative
Regulation Review Committee the new deadline and the
reason it was unable to meet the deadline set in the
fiscal note.
Section 6 amends AS 24.08.060(b) to say that bills
introduced by the Administrative Regulation Review
Committee shall be delivered with a letter of
explanation to the rules committee by request of the
Administrative Regulation Review Committee.
Section 7 adds a new Sec. 24.20.106 to AS 24.20
regarding the review of proposed regulations. It
outlines the responsibilities of the Administrative
Regulation Review Committee and states that the
legislative Affairs Agency may review each regulation
that is subject to AS 44.62.010 - 44.62.300 (the
Administrative Procedure Act). An attorney of that
agency must do the review. The reviews follow an order
of priority:
1. proposed regulations to implement new
legislation
2. proposed regulations requested in writing for
review by the Administrative Regulation Review
Committee or the legislative council as
implicating major policy development.
This section describes the procedure as well as
evaluating the legality and constitutionality of the
regulation whether the state agency has the statutory
authority to adopt the proposed regulations to
implement or otherwise carry out the statute.
This gives the parameters for the Administrative
Regulation Review Committee and this exempts the Board
of Game and the Board of Fisheries from proposed
regulations.
Section 8 amends AS 24.20 by adding new sections. It
defines the membership of the Administrative
Regulation Review Committee, which is comprised of
members from both bodies and each of the two major
political parties. This must be established within 15
days after organization of the legislature. The
committee may meet during the interim to address
concerns with regulations. The Legislative Affairs
Agency will provide professional and clerical
assistance. This section defines the powers of the
Administrative Regulation Review Committee.
Section 9 amends AS 26.27.110(b) to exempt
corporations from AS 44.62 (Administrative Procedure
Act). However, within 45 days after adoption of a
regulation under this section, the chair of the
corporation shall submit the regulation adopted to the
chair of the Administrative Regulation Review
Committee under AS 24.20.465-24.20.495.
4:30:13 PM
Section 10 amends AS 30.17.120 to say the provisions
of the Administrative Procedure Act regarding adoption
of regulations under AS 44.62.040-44.62.325 to apply
to the authority.
Sections 11-13 are conforming language.
Section 14 amends AS 40.25.120(a) and discusses the
right to inspect public records but exempts medical
and public health records and records that are
confidential under federal law. It references
following 20 U.S.C. 1232g, law enforcement and any
records that would endanger the life or physical
safety of an individual.
On page 10, line 15 it adds written notification
regarding a proposed regulation under AS 24.20.160 to
the Department of Law and the affected state agency
and communications between the Legislative Affairs
Agency, the Department of Law, and affected state
agency under AS.24.20.106.
Section 15 amends AS 42.40.920(b) to add a statute
reference.
Section 16 amends AS 44.62.020 to add a statute
reference and gives authority to adopt, administer, or
enforce a regulation. Each regulation adopted must be
within the scope and authority of the statute.
4:31:30 PM
Section 17 amends AS 44.62.040(c) to exempt the
Regulatory Commission of Alaska, the Board of
Fisheries, the Board of Game, the Alaska Oil and Gas
Conservation Commission, the office of victims'
rights, and the office of the ombudsman. Other
agencies shall submit regulations to the governor's
office.
This section describes the procedure the governor must
follow to return the regulations and orders of repeal
to the adopting agency before they are submitted to
the lieutenant governor for filing within 30 days.
They must be consistent with the faithful execution of
the laws and enable the adopting agency to respond to
specific issues raised by the Administrative
Regulation Review Committee.
Section 18 amends AS 44.62.190(a) by adding new
language to say the agencies may electronically
furnish the proposed regulation, amendment, or order
of repeal, as required by AS 24.20.160(c).
Section 19 amends AS 44.62.245(c) to add the
Administrative Regulation Review Committee to the
distribution list.
Section 20 amends AS 44.62.290(a) to add a statute
reference.
Section 21 amends AS 44.62.300(a) to add the same
statute reference
Section 22 amends AS 44.62 by adding a new Sec.
44.62.325. Submittal for legislative review. It
describes how the lieutenant governor submits a
regulation to the Administrative Regulation Review
Committee for review. Within 10 days, the
Administrative Regulation Review Committee may submit
comments on the regulation to the governor.
4:33:13 PM
Sections 23 through 27 add AS 44.62.010-44.62.325.
Section 28 amends AS 44.88.085(a) to insert references
AS 44.62.040-44.62.325. It adds language that within
45 days after the adoption of a regulation under this
section, the chair of the authority shall submit the
regulation adopted to the chair of the Administrative
Regulation Review Committee under AS 24.20.465-
24.20.495.
Section 29 adds a new section to the uncodified law to
say this Act applies to the adoption, amendment or
repeal of a regulation that is first proposed on or
after the effective date of this Act.
CHAIR SHOWER found no questions or comments.
