HB 71-KAWERAK INC AS REGIONAL HOUSING AUTHORITY CHAIRMAN KELLY asked about the Bering Straits Native Association. LARRY LABOLLE, staff to Representative Foster, prime sponsor of HB 71, explained the Bering Straits Native Association was assumed by Kawerak, Inc. when Kawerak was created. Kawerak requested HB 71 because to appoint a member to the Housing Authority, Kawerak members must recess their meeting, reconvene as the Bering Straits Native Association, and make the appointment. CHAIRMAN KELLY announced CSHB 71(CRA) has a zero fiscal note. SENATOR HOFFMAN moved to pass CSHB 71(CRA) from committee. There being no objection, the motion carried.
