 Number 506                                                                    
                                                                               
 CHAIRMAN KOTT announced HB 305, "An Act making appropriations to              
 satisfy the agreed upon monetary terms of a collective bargaining             
 agreement for certain employees of the University of Alaska; and              
 providing for an effective date," was the next order of business.             
 He asked if there was anyone wishing to testify.  There was nobody            
 to testify.  Chairman Kott asked if there was debate.                         
                                                                               
 REPRESENTATIVE ROKEBERG said in another meeting the committee heard           
 testimony from the university.  He asked if HB 305 ameliorates some           
 of the problems that had been raised earlier.  CHAIRMAN KOTT said             
 he is sure it ameliorates some of the problems and alleviates some            
 of the concern.                                                               
                                                                               
 WENDY REDMAN, Vice President, Statewide University System,                    
 University of Alaska, said it is a very small unit consisting of              
 about 200 employees.  She explained it is just the crafts and                 
 trades.                                                                       
                                                                               
 There being no further debate, REPRESENTATIVE PORTER made a motion            
 to move HB 305 out of the House Labor and Commerce Committee with             
 individual recommendations and attached fiscal notes.  Hearing no             
 objection, HB 305 was moved out of the House Labor and Commerce               
 Committee.
