ACTION NARRATIVE 3:45:17 PM CHAIR IVY SPOHNHOLZ called the House Labor and Commerce Standing Committee meeting to order at 3:45 p.m. Representatives Story, Stutes, Fields, Gillis, Hannan, and Spohnholz were present at the call to order. HB 27-REGULATION OF FLAME RETARDANT CHEMICALS  3:45:56 PM CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ announced that the first order of business would be HOUSE BILL NO. 27, "An Act relating to the manufacture, sale, distribution, and labeling of child-related products containing certain flame retardant chemicals; relating to an interstate chemicals clearinghouse; adding unlawful acts to the Alaska Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Act; and providing for an effective date." [Before the committee was CSHB 27(RES).] 3:46:08 PM KARLA HART, Staff, Representative Geran Tarr, Alaska State Legislature, on behalf of representative Tarr, prime sponsor, provided a brief review of HB 27. She stated that the bill seeks to regulate flame retardants in Alaska. She addressed a question about federal regulation of flame retardants from the last bill hearing. She clarified that the federal government does not regulate flame retardants; however, they do have standards for mattress flammability that can be met with non- toxic options. 3:47:15 PM REPRESENTATIVE FIELDS expressed his appreciation for the bill. He anecdotally reported that its surprisingly hard for consumers to figure out which products are non-toxic and safe for their families. 3:47:54 PM The committee took a brief at-ease at 3:47 p.m. 3:47:58 PM REPRESENTATIVE STUTES moved to report CSHB 27(RES) out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal notes. There being no objection, CSHB 27(RES) was moved from the House Labor and Commerce Standing Committee. 3:48:22 PM The committee took an at-ease. 3:50:30 PM REPRESENTATIVE STUTES moved that the House Labor and Commerce Standing Committee authorize the chair to draft a bill regarding unemployment insurance for the state of Alaskas ongoing response to the coronavirus pandemic. There being no objection, it was so ordered. 3:51:02 PM REPRESENTATIVE HANNAN made a reference to furloughed Alaska Marine Highway System employees who were not eligible for unemployment when there was no return-to-work date. CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ said that's a great example of the gaps in employment that can be created. She explained that current unemployment insurance eligibility requires that applicants be seeking work or obtain a note that states they will not be reemployed within 45 days; however, many employees will not meet those requirements under the current circumstances. She said they are working with the Department of Labor & Workforce Development to figure out a specific solution that would serve those individuals. SB 52-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL; ALCOHOL REG  3:52:28 PM CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ announced that the final order of business would be CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 52(FIN) am, "An Act relating to alcoholic beverages; relating to the regulation of manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers of alcoholic beverages; relating to licenses, endorsements, and permits involving alcoholic beverages; relating to common carrier approval to transport or deliver alcoholic beverages; relating to the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board; relating to offenses involving alcoholic beverages; amending Rule 17(h), Alaska Rules of Minor Offense Procedure; and providing for an effective date." 3:53:05 PM KONRAD JACKSON, Staff, Senator Peter Micciche, Alaska State Legislature, presented the sectional analysis for SB 52, continued from the previous bill hearing, on behalf of Senator Micciche, prime sponsor. [Because of its length, the sectional analysis is provided at the end of the minutes for SB 52.] MR. JACKSON explained Sections 115-171. 3:57:01 PM REPRESENTATIVE FIELDS pointed out that the mayor of Anchorage shut down bars and restaurants except for takeout. He said what were already tough circumstances for working people and business owners in downtown Anchorage will be approaching devastating levels this summer. He opined that being prepared for the pandemic is in part, helping businesses survive what will probably be the worst depression in the Alaskas history. He expressed his hope that the bill will be heard and advanced expeditiously 3:57:50 PM REPRESENTATIVE STUTES sought clarification on stacking licenses. SENATOR MICCICHE explained that under current law, an individual could own a cidery, a winery, and a brewery, but they could not be operated under the same license in the same building. He reiterated that current law does not allow license stacking and that would not change under SB 52. CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ offered her understanding that an individual can own multiple licenses, but the total serving limit would be apportioned. SENATOR MICCICHE clarified that Chair Spohnholz may be confusing sampling with tasting rooms. CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ acknowledged that. 4:00:23 PM SENATOR MICCICHE referred attention to the Title 4 Review Report [included in the committee packet]. He noted that the report addresses the changes to license fees on page 75 and the changes to penalties on pages 76-81. 4:01:26 PM REPRESENTATIVE HANNAN, referencing Section 145, sought to clarify whether nonalcoholic Kombucha is included in the bill. SENATOR MICCICHE stated if it's nonalcoholic it's not in the bill. He noted that alcoholic kombucha is currently unheard of; however, in the industry, if a beverage tastes good its often converted to an alcoholic drink. He explained that they were trying to be forward thinking in case kombucha follows that trend. CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ explained that kombucha is not made with cereal grain; instead, it is made from a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY) and tea. She said its a nonalcoholic beverage, although sometimes it contains a small percentage of alcohol. REPRESENTATIVE HANNAN reiterated her interest in ensuring that undue regulations are not being added for a category of beverages that should not be addressed in the bill because it is nonalcoholic. CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ echoed her colleague's sentiments. SENATOR MICCICHE stated that there's a reason it's in the bill. He deferred to Ms. Brawley. 4:05:27 PM ANNA BRAWLEY, Senior Associate, Agnew::Beck Consulting, referencing information provided on the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) website, reported that federal and state law define alcohol as anything above 0.5 percent ABV (alcohol by volume), which could be kombucha if its fermented and in that way. She added that most products that are commercially available are not, making them outside the jurisdiction of the Alcohol and Beverage Control (ABC) Board. She said the bill ensures that if someone were to make kombucha that is alcoholic it would be under the purview of a brewed beverage. She explained that from the TTBs standpoint, kombucha is defined as a brewed beverage similar to the way that mead is made from honey and still considered a wine. She noted that these regulations would not apply to businesses that currently do not have to be licensed by the state. CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ sought clarification on whether alcoholic kombucha exists. MS. BRAWLEY offered her understanding that theoretically, it can be made. She added that to the best of her knowledge, no businesses in Alaska are currently producing it. 4:07:42 PM SARAH OATES, President/CEO, Alaska Cabaret, Hotel, Restaurant and Retailers Association, stated that Alaska Cabaret, Hotel, Restaurant and Retailers (CHARR) and the Brewers Guild of Alaska met many times throughout 2019 to discuss the most contentious sections of Title 4 that have caused previous iterations of the bill to stall out in the legislative process. She said that through challenging yet thoughtful compromise, consensus has finally been reached between public health, public safety, both state and municipal regulatory bodies, and all three industry tiers. SB 52 includes many changes that would benefit all stakeholders. She explained that the addition of endorsements would empower local governments, while protecting licensees by giving municipalities a clear, legal means to restrict privileges of a license if necessary, without having to request revocation of the licenses operations entirely. She recounted her experience working for the Alcohol and Marijuana Control Office (AMCO), adding that this bill will allow members of the industry to pick up a statute book and understand their legal privileges, restrictions, and expectations for the first time in decades. In closing, she relayed Alaska CHARRs full support for SB 52 and implored the committee to pass the legislation. 4:10:22 PM EVAN WOOD, Owner, Devil's Club Brewing Company; Government Affairs Committee, Brewers Guild of Alaska, expressed his support for SB 52. He said the current version of the bill is an eight-year culmination of robust stakeholder engagement, supported by public health, public safety, and all three tiers of the industry. With the future of the industry and the economy at-large in question, he urged the committee to move this legislation forward. 4:12:07 PM ROBIN MINARD Chief, Chief Communications Officer, Mat-Su Health Foundation, voiced her strong support for SB 52 based on the public health elements of the bill. She said it will help prevent underage drinking and support better enforcement of Alaskas alcohol laws. She reported that alcohol and substance abuse were ranked as the number one health issue in Matanuska- Susitna. She offered her belief that having a well-regulated alcohol industry that understands and follows the law is part of the solution. Title 4 is recognized to be outdated, confusing, and otherwise ineffective in carrying out the intent of the law, she said. This systemic redraft of Title 4 will benefit organizations and individuals who are affected by alcohol. She stated that SB 52 will limit youth access to alcohol, promote responsible use by adults, and reduce harm. For that reason, she urged its passage this legislative session. 4:14:14 PM CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ opened public testimony. 4:14:26 PM CAMDEN YEHLE conveyed her plans to open a brewery restaurant; however, she expressed concern about the proposed population changes that would effectively limit the number of brewery tap room licenses from thirty to seven. Five of which are already taken, she said. She pointed out that she could be shut out of the industry if she fails to obtain one of the two remaining licenses. She said she believes that more brewery openings make for more brewery customers, which is good for everyone. She opined that aside from the changes to population limits, the bill looks fantastic. She encouraged the committee to pass SB 52. 4:16:46 PM REPRESENTATIVE HANNAN sought clarification on how the population cap would specifically affect the Mat-Su Borough. MS. YEHLE offered her understanding that the bill changes the population cap from 3,000 per license to 12,000 per license. She shared, for example, that the city of Wasilla has 8,000 people, allowing for one tap room license, which was already acquired. 4:18:37 PM CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ asked Ms. Brawley to describe the reason for population cap limits and how the restructuring of those limits was designed regarding cities and boroughs. MS. BRAWLEY explained that the current population limit is 3,000 for most licenses. She added, that is defined by local government population. There is a different method for determining the limits for unorganized boroughs, she said. She stated that the proposal is to increase the population limit on new licenses. She further noted that it splits the manufacturing license between production and the retail room. That would allow a manufacturer to get a brewery license with no population limit and exercise it with, for example, a bar, restaurant, or package store license, which cannot be done under current law. She said this would increase flexibility and allow the market to respond to demand without increasing the number of licenses. She added that the purpose of population limits is to limit the number of retail outlets in a certain area because the density of outlets is associated with higher public health and safety impacts, such as crime and violence. 4:20:39 PM MS. BRAWLEY responding to a follow-up question from Representative Hannan, clarified that by unorganized borough she was referring to a location with no local government and therefore, no official determination of residency. She explained that the population in the borough outside a city has a certain number, and then the city would use the residence of that city to determine a separate number, so they are two different numbers." CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ offered her understanding that part of the reason for restructuring the population limits is to avoid a situation where there is a [population] cap inside a city that is located inside of a borough, which forces alcohol businesses right outside the city limit to work around the population cap. She asked if that is correct. MS. BRAWLEY confirmed that. She noted that the bill includes a proposal to allow cities to petition for additional restaurant licenses so a city with a small population, as you said, that is serving a larger area could petition for those additional restaurant licenses, make them available and, because there would be no limit on manufacturing licenses and it would be allowed for a brewery or a distillery or a winery to own one of those licenses, it would be possible to essentially create a brewpub 4:24:55 PM MS. BRAWLEY responding to comments from Representative Hannan and Chair Spohnholz, said she does not have the information available in terms of the specific number of licenses in each community because it depends on the population. 4:25:28 PM PAUL THOMAS, Owner, Alaska Cache Liquor, expressed his support for SB 52. He addressed the eight-year process, adding that everyone had to compromise to reach the current result. He stressed the importance of passing SB 52 to stabilize the industry, especially given the uncertainty of the tourism industry due to the coronavirus. He reiterated that SB 52 is imperative for industry stability. 4:27:21 PM HELEN HARTMAN, American Legion Post 17, stated that SB 52 is a product of over eight years of hard work from 150 different stakeholders from across the state. She voiced her full support for the bill. She said that with the coronavirus pandemic on the forefront of peoples minds, the industry is in dire need of stability. She added that SB 52 will provide that stability. 4:28:24 PM JOSH HEGNA, Owner, Girdwood Brewing Company, expressed his full support for SB 52. He said the bill is the result of an eight- year collaborative stakeholder process that included public health, public safety, and all three tiers of the industry. He offered his belief that SB 52 would provide meaningful improvement to alcohol regulation in Alaska. He urged the committee to move the legislation forward expeditiously. 4:29:47 PM BOBBY WILKEN, Owner, Hoodoo Brewing Co., expressed his full support for SB 52. He anecdotally explained the difficulty of navigating Alaskas current alcohol regulations. He said the bill is the result of an eight-year collaborative stakeholder process, adding that it will modernize the industry and allow it to move forward in the future. He addressed the coronavirus pandemic and the detrimental effect it could have on the industry. He urged the committee to move the legislation forward expeditiously. 4:31:26 PM BEN MILLSTEIN, Owner, Kodiak Island Brewing Company, expressed his support for SB 52 and echoed the sentiments of his fellow testifiers. He added that the bill is the result of an eight- year collaborative stakeholder process. 4:32:30 PM DOUG HOGUE, Owner, Kenai River Brewing Company, expressed his support for SB 52, adding that it's a step in the right direction towards modernizing Alaskas liquor laws. He addressed the coronavirus pandemic and the detrimental effect it could have on the industry. He urged the committee to support the bill. 4:33:38 PM BERT COTTLE, Mayor, City of Wasilla, stated that the city of Wasilla supports the one amendment that still is in there." He said, at least we have the opportunity to go back once a year now - if that amendment stays - to ask for additional restaurant, beer, and wine licenses." He explained that it takes local control away from the local jurisdiction on economic development. He discussed package stores and full pours in Wasilla. He expressed his support for the educational aspect and the law enforcement in the bill. 4:36:11 PM REPRESENTATIVE HANNAN sought clarification on Mayor Cottles meaning of "come back once a year." MAYOR COTTLE explained that under SB 52 in its current form, the city of Wasilla would be allowed to appear in front of the [ABC] Board once a year to ask for additional beer and wine licenses. He noted that there is not a provision in the bill that would allow him to ask the board for an additional package store. 4:37:27 PM CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ closed public testimony. 4:37:52 PM CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ questioned whether the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts can [serve] alcohol on their premises. MR. JACKSON offered his understanding that the language in the [theatre] license is sufficient except for the potential issue with the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts building and its ability to limit minors access to areas where alcohol is served. He noted that building layouts are not addressed in this legislation. 4:39:36 PM CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ asked Mr. Klinkhart to interpret the theatre license as outlined in the bill and whether beer and wine could be served during intermission at the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts. GLEN KLINKHART, Director, Alaska Alcohol & Marijuana Control Office, Department of Commerce, Community & Economic Development, offered his understanding that beer and wine could be served; however, he said the issue of controlling access for minors has been discussed. 4:41:20 PM REPRESENTATIVE FIELDS sought to clarify whether the current bill protects the [Alaska Center for the Performing Arts] ability to continue serving alcohol in the atrium. MR. KLINKHART said he does not know. CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ offered her understanding that the bill as it's currently written, allows beer and wine to be served with a theatre license; however, there is some ambiguity about how it would be implemented. She added that there are limitations in statute and perhaps in regulation that requires beer and wine to be served in a 21-and-over area, which the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts does not have. She noted that she does not intend on expanding access to alcohol. Nonetheless, she expressed her interest in ensuring that the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts can continue to serve beer and wine during intermission. 4:43:25 PM REPRESENTATIVE FIELDS agreed. He asked Mr. Jackson to confirm the bill sponsors intent regarding the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts. MR. JACKSON directed attention to Section 04.09.250 on page 17 of the bill. He explained that SB 52 relocates the license from 3AAC 304 695, which codifies the regulation that allows theatre licenses to serve alcoholic beverages into statute. 4:44:14 PM REPRESENTATIVE HANNAN asked Mr. Klinkhart whether he exercised the enforcement of alcohol at the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts during the last decade. She asked if he is concerned about it being served in the atrium area. MR. KLINKHART said he inquired about the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts during his extensive four months on the job. He added that the center has shown its ability to self-regulate, as there have been no incidents regarding public safety. Nonetheless, the old Title 4 information shows that they have been doing it against statute. CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ asked whether the requirement to isolate a 21- and-over area where alcohol is served is in statute or regulation. MR. KLINKHART offered his understanding that its in statute; however, it was intended to regulate bars. 4:47:06 PM MR. KLINKHART responding to a follow-up question from Chair Spohnholz, said [the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts] would need a designated area for the purpose of selling alcohol. 4:47:42 PM CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ asked how alcohol is sold over the internet and how that would be regulated in the state of Alaska. MR. JACKSON deferred to Ms. Brawley. 4:48:31 PM MS. BRAWLEY said currently online alcohol sales are not regulated in Alaska. She explained that SB 52 proposes to limit online sales to wine from wineries with a direct shipment license, which is consistent with 44 other states. She noted that the purchaser would be required to demonstrate that they are of age and would not be able to purchase in a local option area. Furthermore, she said, in-state package stores would still be able to ship wine or spirits to customers. CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ asked if an order from an in-state package store would still be considered an online sale. MS. BRAWLEY explained that regardless of where an individual lives in Alaska, if he or she orders from a package store, then it must be done through a written order, which is interpreted as a paper order as long as the store already has the individuals identification (ID) on file. She noted that SB 52 also proposes to allow Alaska package stores to offer their products online with the same protections, adding that if its purchased through a dry or damp community, then it would still have to be reported through the written order database that controls the monthly limits on customers in those areas. 4:50:51 PM CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ announced that SB 52 was held over.
