  Number 450                                                                   
                                                                               
  CHAIR MACLEAN summarized SB 154 ("An Act relating to the                     
  economic development grant program; and providing for an

  development grant fund available to municipalities and                       
  ARDORs (Alaska Regional Development Organizations).  She                     
  asked if the Task Force wanted to co-sponsor this bill.                      
                                                                               
  Number 470                                                                   
                                                                               
  REPRESENTATIVE GREEN suggested holding off until three                       
  members of the Task Force hear this bill in another                          
  committee.                                                                   
                                                                               
  Number 480                                                                   
                                                                               
  CHAIR MACLEAN stated that the Office of Management and                       
  Budget would administer this bill.  Hearing no objections,                   
  she stated the Task Force would co-sponsor it.                               
                                                                               
  CHAIR MACLEAN commented that the Task Force would continue                   
  the process of reviewing bills through the interim.
