Number 036 REPRESENTATIVE GREEN asked if the group categories could be changed later. CHAIR MACLEAN replied that if any group proved to be too cumbersome or too time-consuming, it could be broken down into smaller categories, stating each work group would be given a packet of materials received by the Task Force to date. She added that she would like to have one or two more public hearings and wanted the House Task Force to develop a set of recommendations for the Joint Task Force to consider submitting to the Legislature next year. Number 092 REPRESENTATIVE GREEN asked if the House Task Force would work jointly with the Senate Task Force, or if they would work separately and combine ideas later. CHAIR MACLEAN replied that the Senate Task Force would probably accept the House Task Force's recommendations, explaining the Senate Task Force had no budget and the House Task Force did, which she planned to reserve for two or three full Task Force meetings, probably in Anchorage and also some remote sites, during the interim. CHAIR MACLEAN stated that the Legislative Legal Council had informed her the Task Force could not co-sponsor bills but could sponsor their own original legislation, but the Task Force would track the bills discussed for co-sponsorship through next session and supply input, testimonies and recommendations. Number 136 REPRESENTATIVE VEZEY handed out copies of a committee substitute for a piece of legislation which the Task Force had voted to sponsor, CSHB 228(STA), stating the bill would not be passed this year but would be "on the front burner" at the beginning of next session. He summarized the main concerns and changes, including deletion of administrative evaluation of the cost of doing business with out-of-state firms and changing Alaska bidder's preference from 5% to 7%, and altering the Alaskan hire practices section due to constitutional concerns. ADJOURNMENT Number 204 CHAIR MACLEAN thanked Representative Vezey and adjourned the meeting at 5:20 p.m.
