Fiscal note from Department of Revenue and zero fiscal notes from Department of Environmental Conservation and Department of Transportation and Public Facilities published today. Governor's transmittal letter dated February 18: Dear Mr. President: Under the authority of art. III, sec. 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a bill raising the tax rate on transfers or consumption of motor fuel. The bill would bring our tax rate more in line with that of other states and raise much-needed revenue for highway maintenance. Additionally, the bill would make certain changes regarding the proceeds from the tax. Alaska is one of only three states with motor fuel tax rates of less than 10 cents per gallon (Georgia, seven and one-half cents; Alaska, eight cents; and Wyoming, nine cents). The mean national tax rate on motor fuel is 18.66 cents. The tax rates in other western states on motor fuel are: Washington, 23 cents; Oregon, 24 cents; Idaho, 21 cents; Colorado, 22 cents; California, 17 cents; and Nevada, 24 cents. The bill would raise the motor fuel tax rate for most fuels to 25 cents per gallon. Aviation fuel and fuel used in and on watercraft would remain at their current rates as set by statute. One cent of the 25-cent tax would go into a special "storage tank assistance" account in the general fund, added by sec. 4 of the bill. The legislature may appropriate from this account into the storage 1994-02-22 Senate Journal Page 2914 SB 334 tank assistance fund established by AS46.03.410. That fund provides grants, testing, and site analysis to owners and operators of underground petroleum storage tanks. Currently, anyone who uses motor fuel, other than aviation fuel or fuel for watercraft, in any engine other than a motor vehicle licensed for the public highways is entitled to a refund of six cents of the existing eight-cent tax. The refund would remain at the current statutory rate of six cents. I urge your prompt consideration and passage of this important bill. Sincerely, /s/ Walter J. Hickel Governor SB 335 SENATE BILL NO. 335 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: "An Act making appropriations to satisfy the agreed- upon monetary terms of a collective bargaining agreement for certain employees of the University of Alaska; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Health, Education and Social Services and Finance Committees.

The appropriations are necessary to satisfy agreed-upon obligations under that agreement. I urge your prompt consideration and passage of the bill. Sincerely, /s/ Walter J.
