ACTION NARRATIVE TAPE 01-12, SIDE A Number 0001 CHAIR PETE KOTT called the House Rules Standing Committee meeting to order at 10:33 a.m. Members present at the call to order were Representatives Kott, Porter, Kohring, Morgan, McGuire, Berkowitz, and Joule. HB 132 - LIQUOR LICENSE APPLICANT CHECK/TRAINING CHAIR KOTT announced that the committee would hear HOUSE BILL NO. 132, "An Act relating to the possession or distribution of alcohol in a local option area; requiring liquor license applicants to submit fingerprints for the purpose of conducting a criminal history background check, and relating to the use of criminal justice information by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board; providing for a review of alcohol server education courses by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board every two years; and providing for an effective date." REPRESENTATIVE PORTER made a motion to adopt Version R [22- LS0380\R, Ford, 4/27/01] as a work draft. There being no objection, it was so ordered and Version R was before the committee. CHAIR KOTT explained that changes in Version R begin on page 8, Section 10, and continue through the rest of the bill. Included are a 0.08 [blood alcohol content]; a "look-back" provision; and effective date clauses in Sections 21 and 22, including an effective date of September 1, 2001, for various agencies to get the word out to the public if the bill passes. REPRESENTATIVE NORMAN ROKEBERG, Alaska State Legislature, came forward as the chair of the House Judiciary Standing Committee, sponsor of HB 132. He informed members that he had no problem with the amendments [in Version R]. He specified that the five- year look-back period is being replaced with a ten-year period. He expressed appreciation for the effective date, which will give agencies ample time to implement changes and to inform the public of the change in the standard for the blood alcohol content. CHAIR KOTT asked whether there were questions for the sponsor; none were offered. He asked whether anyone else wished to testify, then asked whether there was any discussion; neither testimony nor discussion was offered. REPRESENTATIVE PORTER moved to report CSHB 132 [Version R, 22- LS0380\R, Ford, 4/27/01] from committee with individual recommendations and the attached indeterminate fiscal note. There being no objection, CSHB 132(2d RLS) was reported out of the House Rules Standing Committee. ADJOURNMENT  There being no further business before the committee, the House Rules Standing Committee meeting was adjourned at 10:35 a.m.
