ACTION NARRATIVE TAPE 02-10, SIDE A  Number 001 CHAIRMAN RANDY PHILLIPS called the Senate Rules Committee meeting to order at 10:36 a.m. Senators Cowdery, Halford and Phillips were present. SENATOR HALFORD moved to calendar at the Chairman's discretion HB  106-FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS and its accompanying fiscal notes, if any. CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS announced that with no objection, the motion carried. CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS announced that HB 262-BUILDING SAFETY ACCOUNT Was before the committee and asked if Representative Murkowski was present. MS. AMY ERICKSON, staff to Representative Murkowski, informed members that Representative Murkowski does not support either proposed committee substitute. CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS said that he would prefer the sponsor to be present. He pointed out that in the "old days" the legislator who sponsored a bill presented it in committee instead of sending a staff person because some questions can only be answered by the sponsor. He then said he would set HB 262 and SCR 36 aside for another 24 hours. SENATOR HALFORD moved to calendar at the Chairman's discretion HB 307-OIL/GAS EXPLORATION INCENTIVE CREDIT and its accompanying fiscal notes. CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS announced that with no objection, the motion carried. He also announced that Senator Therriault was present. SENATOR HALFORD moved to calendar at the Chairman's discretion CSHB 405(JUD)-CRIMES ON OR AGAINST STATE VESSEL and asked for unanimous consent.   CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS announced that with no objection, the motion carried. SENATOR HALFORD moved to calendar at the Chairman's discretion SCR 35-SUSPEND UNIFORM RULES FOR HB 405. CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS announced that with no objection, the motion carried. SENATOR HALFORD moved to calendar at the Chairman's discretion HB 438-DISABLED VETERANS LICENSE PLATES and its accompanying fiscal notes. CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS announced that with no objection, the motion carried. CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS announced that HB 470-COMMON INTEREST  OWNERSHIP:OFFERING STMTS was before the committee. He asked for an explanation of the changes made in the proposed Senate Rules Committee substitute. MS. JANET SEITZ, staff to Representative Rokeberg, explained that the words "subsequently recorded" were replaced with the words "delivered to a purchaser" on pages 1, 3, 4, 5, and 21. A public offering statement is not recorded; it is a 6 to 8 inch document of which part is recorded. The language change more accurately reflects what actually takes place. SENATOR HALFORD asked if any other changes were made. MS. SEITZ replied, "With the exception of the language on page 3, line 31, it's just to conform to the new preliminary public offering statement." She added that this was at the request of John Faulkner and the Alaska Homebuilders' Association. SENATOR HALFORD moved to adopt the Senate Rules Committee substitute (LS 1522\L). CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS announced that with no objection, the motion carried. SENATOR HALFORD moved to calendar SCS CSHB 470(RLS) and its accompanying fiscal notes at the Chairman's discretion with individual recommendations. CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS announced that with no objection, the motion carried. There being no further business to come before the committee, CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS adjourned the meeting at 10:44 a.m.
