SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI moved to adopt the Senate CS for SSHJR 21, version 30-LS0820\J, as the working document. CHAIR COGHILL objected for an explanation of the changes. 2:02:10 PM CHAD HUTCHINSON, Staff, Senator John Coghill, Alaska State Legislature, Juneau, Alaska, said the CS makes two substantive changes that resulted in a title change. The new title eliminates the words "and to honor previous federal guidance on marijuana policy". The first substantive change is to the last hereas on page 3. It replaces the phrase, "undermines federal priorities" with "demonstrates a need to address federal law". The second change is in the "Be It Resolved" provision on page 3. It replaces the phrase "in keeping with the federal enforcement priorities enumerated in the United States Department of Justice's August 29, 2013, memorandum" with "and urges the United States Congress to address these issues while respecting states' rights". 2:04:36 PM REPRESENTATIVE DAVID GUTTENBERG, Alaska State Legislature, Juneau, Alaska, sponsor of HJR 21, said he supports the changes.
