Without such lifelines we find ourselves vulnerable to decisions that are harmful to ourselves and to others. Bless each representative gathered here today as they struggle with issues and decisions on our behalf. May the lifelines that they carry with them on their journey of life bring strength to them.

III, sec. 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a resolution concerning the implementation of the recommendation of the Alaska Sanitation Task Force. The Alaska Sanitation Task Force was established by the Department of Environmental Conservation to examine the critical problems of inadequate water and sanitation facilities in rural Alaska and to provide recommendations for a comprehensive strategy for improving these conditions. The task force consisted of 27 representatives from federal, state, Native, and regional organizations. Its findings established dramatically that many villages in rural Alaska have inadequate water 1993-03-01 House Journal Page 0486 HJR 32 and sewer facilities and that the lack of facilities has resulted in critical health and safety problems in rural Alaska. Solving these health and safety problems will not be easy. The task force has provided a road map for their solution. The solution, though, will require the coordinated efforts of state, local, and federal governments, along with Native organizations and other groups. This resolution requests the assistance of the President of the United States in obtaining the cooperation of the appropriate federal agencies in addressing these important problems. These federal agencies have responsibilities for assuring safe water and sanitation programs and facilities in rural Alaska. The Department of Environmental Conservation has copies of the Alaska Sanitation Task Force report available for your review. I urge your support and prompt action on this important resolution. Sincerely, /s/ Walter J. Hickel Governor" INTRODUCTION, FIRST READING AND REFERENCE OF HOUSE BILLS HB 186 HOUSE BILL NO. 186 by the House Rules Committee by request of the Governor, entitled: "An Act relating to conspiracies to commit murder in the first degree, murder in the second degree, kidnapping, and certain drug offenses; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Judiciary and Finance Committees. 1993-03-01 House Journal Page 0487 HB 186 The following fiscal notes apply to HB 186: Fiscal note, Dept. of Corrections, 3/1/93 Fiscal notes (2), Dept. of Administration, 3/1/93 Zero fiscal note, Dept. of Law, 3/1/93 Zero fiscal note, Dept. of Public Safety, 3/1/93 The Governor's transmittal letter, dated March 1, 1993, appears below: "Dear Speaker Barnes: Under the authority of art. III, sec. 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a bill creating the crime of conspiracy. This law is tailored, however, to reach only a narrow range of intended crimes; namely, conspiracies to commit murder in the first degree, murder in the second degree, kidnapping, or a felony drug offense. Conspiracy laws have provided a useful tool in the federal war on drugs and could prove effective in Alaska, as well. If sufficient evidence of the conspiracy is obtained, charges may be filed and arrests made before the conspirators actually commit the underlying planned serious felony offense. The United States Supreme Court has noted that "a conspiracy poses distinct dangers quite apart from those of the substantive. . ." offense. Iannelli v. United States, 420 U.S. 770 (1975). As it explained elsewhere, "concerted action both increases the likelihood that the criminal object will be successfully attained and decreases the probability that the individuals involved will depart from their path of criminality." Callanan v. United States, 364 U.S. 587, 593-94 (1961). This bill requires that a conspirator commit an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy. This must be an act that manifests a purpose on the part of the actor that the underlying crime be completed. This bill is one of four that I am introducing this session to create tough new laws to combat drugs and violent crime. If enacted, these bills will give the state the tools it needs to prosecute serious criminals fairly and effectively. 1993-03-01 House Journal Page 0488 HB 186 I urge your favorable action on this bill. Sincerely, /s/ Walter J. Hickel Governor" HB 187 HOUSE BILL NO. 187 by the House Rules Committee by request of the Governor, entitled: "An Act authorizing the interception of private communications related to the commission of certain criminal offenses; making related amendments to statutes relating to eavesdropping and wiretapping; relating to the penalty for violation of statutes relating to eavesdropping and unauthorized interception, publication, or use of private communications; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Labor & Commerce, Judiciary and Finance Committees. The following fiscal notes apply to HB 187: Zero fiscal note, Dept. of Administration, 3/1/93 Indeterminate fiscal note, Dept. of Administration, 3/1/93 Zero fiscal note, Dept. of Public Safety, 3/1/93 Zero fiscal note, Dept. of Law, 3/1/93 The Governor's transmittal letter, dated March 1, 1993, appears below: "Dear Speaker Barnes: Under the authority of art. III, sec. 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a bill authorizing the interception of private communications. Section 1 creates a new chapter in the criminal code relating to "interception of private communications," more commonly thought of as "wiretapping." Sections 2 - 8 of this bill make conforming 1993-03-01 House Journal Page 0489 HB 187 amendments to existing eavesdropping statutes in AS42 (Public Utilities and Carriers) and increase the penalty for a violation of those statutes. The bill contains substantial safeguards and protections similar to those required in federal law. Comprehensive federal legislation has been enacted (18 U.S.C. 2510 - 2521), authorizing wiretapping under carefully delineated circumstances. Under the federal law, states may adopt similar laws only if, like this bill, they are at least as restrictive and protective of private communications as the federal law. Under this bill, wiretapping is permitted only if a court order is obtained in advance, and only the attorney general or the attorney general's designee may authorize an application for the order. This bill limits the crimes for which wiretapping may be used to murder, kidnapping, and class A or unclassified felony drug offenses. Careful records must be kept during the interceptions, which must be filed with and held by the court under seal. Notice of the interception must be given in almost all circumstances and a defendant always has the right to move to suppress the evidence for any violation of the law, before it is used at trial or sentencing. Finally, annual reports, providing information about each interception made during the year, must be prepared by the attorney general and filed with the federal government. This bill is one of four that I am introducing this session to create tough new laws to combat drugs and violent crime. If enacted, these bills will give the state the tools it needs to investigate and prosecute serious criminals fairly and effectively. I urge your favorable action on this bill. Sincerely, /s/ Walter J. Hickel Governor" HB 188 HOUSE BILL NO. 188 by the House Rules Committee by request of the Governor, entitled: 1993-03-01 House Journal Page 0490 HB 188 "An Act relating to forfeiture of certain property; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Judiciary and Finance Committees. The following fiscal notes apply to HB 188: Zero fiscal notes (2), Dept. of Administration, 3/1/93 Zero fiscal note, Dept. of Public Safety, 3/1/93 Zero fiscal note, Dept. of Law, 3/1/93 "Dear Speaker Barnes: Under the authority of art. III, sec. 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a bill amending the states asset forfeiture laws to make them more effective. Many of these changes are found in the Model Asset Seizure and Forfeiture Act (1991), prepared by the American Prosecutor's Research Institute. This bill -- permits forfeiture of real property, including buildings; -- permits tracing of drug money to allow forfeiture of any property purchased with that money; -- permits forfeiture of all dangerous instruments used by a drug dealer, while existing law requires forfeiture only of firearms; -- permits the sharing of forfeited assets between municipal police departments and the state; -- requires the costs of the forfeiture proceedings to be paid by the drug dealer; -- allows the court to forfeit other assets of the drug dealer if the property to be forfeited is commingled with other property, has been removed from the jurisdiction, or has been destroyed by the drug dealer; -- gives the state a perfected priority lien on the forfeited property, and thus avoids the pitfalls of Fehir v. State, 739 P.2d 785 1993-03-01 House Journal Page 0491 HB 188 (Alaska App. 1987), which permits unsecured creditors to claim forfeited property; and -- resolves some of the procedural ambiguities in existing forfeiture law noted in Badoino v. State, 785 P.2d 39 (Alaska App. 1990). This bill is one of four that I am introducing this session to create tough new laws to combat drugs and violent crime. If enacted, these bills will give the state the tools it needs to prosecute serious criminals fairly and effectively. I urge your favorable action on this bill. Sincerely, /s/ Walter J. Hickel Governor" HB 189 HOUSE BILL NO. 189 by the House Rules Committee by request of the Governor, entitled: "An Act relating to the charging, prosecuting, and sentencing of certain minors concerning offenses of murder in the first degree, attempted murder in the first degree, murder in the second degree, and certain other offenses; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Health, Education & Social Services, Judiciary and Finance Committees. The following fiscal notes apply to HB 189: Zero fiscal notes (2), Dept. of Administration, 3/1/93 Zero fiscal note, Dept. of Corrections, 3/1/93 Zero fiscal note, Dept. of Health & Social Services, 3/1/93 Zero fiscal note, Dept. of Law, 3/1/93 Zero fiscal note, Dept. of Public Safety, 3/1/93 The Governor's transmittal letter, dated March 1, 1993, appears below: 1993-03-01 House Journal Page 0492 HB 189 "Dear Speaker Barnes: Under the authority of art. III, sec. 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a bill that amends existing law to provide that a 16- or 17- year-old arraigned on a charge of murder in the first degree, attempted murder in the first degree, or murder in the second degree is automatically prosecuted in "adult" court and, if convicted, is sentenced as an "adult." Under present law, 16- and 17-year-olds are generally "prosecuted" in juvenile court and, if adjudicated as delinquent, may be placed in rehabilitation programs only until the minor's 20th birthday. A minor may be tried as an adult only if the court finds probable cause to believe that the minor is delinquent and that the minor is not amendable to treatment through the juvenile system. The court must base its findings on whether the minor "probably cannot be rehabilitated . . . before reaching 20 years of age." AS47.10.060(d). In making this decision, existing statutes allow the court to consider the seriousness of the offense the minor is alleged to have committed, the minor's history of delinquency, the probable cause of the minor's delinquent behavior, and the facilities available for treating the minor. AS47.10.060(d). Under existing law, it is often difficult for prosecutors to demonstrate to the court's satisfaction that the statutory requirements have been met, even though the minor is accused of murder in the first or second degree or attempted murder in the first degree. This showing is especially difficult to make for first offenders, who do not have a pattern of convictions and unsuccessful rehabilitation in the juvenile system to demonstrate to the court. This bill would remedy this situation by, in essence, automatically waiving a 16- or 17-year-old accused of these serious offenses into "adult" court. In "adult" court, the minor would have the same constitutional rights and protections given to an adult accused of the same offense. This bill would also allow the court to sentence a minor offender, if convicted of one of these serious crimes in adult court, to incarceration beyond the minor's 20th birthday. 1993-03-01 House Journal Page 0493 HB 189 This bill has been recommended by law enforcement officers in the state as an appropriate method for prosecuting serious juvenile offenders and providing greater protection to the public. I urge your favorable action on this important bill. Sincerely, /s/ Walter J. Hickel Governor" HB 190 HOUSE BILL NO. 190 by Representative Martin, entitled: "An Act relating to grants awarded by the Alaska Science and Technology Foundation." was read the first time and referred to the Labor & Commerce and Health, Education & Social Services Committee.
