Governor's transmittal letter dated January 28:                                
                                                                               
Dear Mr. President:                                                            
                                                                               
Under the authority of art. III, sec. 18, of the Alaska Constitution,          
I am transmitting a bill relating to the licensing, by the Department          
of Health and Social Services (DHSS), of facilities for the care of            
children, child placement agencies, maternity homes, and residential           
facilities and foster homes for adults.  The bill reorganizes and              
clarifies existing licensing statutes and provides much-needed detail          
in the statutes.  The bill's reorganization of the statutes separates          
licensing of child-related facilities from licensing of adult facilities.
