Full Journal pdf1998-07-15 House Journal Page 4082 HB 473 The following letter, dated June 16, was received on June 18, 1998: "Dear Speaker Phillips: On this date I have signed the following bill and am transmitting the engrossed and enrolled copies to the Lieutenant Governor's office for permanent filing: CS FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 473(FIN) "An Act relating to training and certification of fire services personnel; relating to certification of fire services training programs; and providing for an effective date." 1998-07-15 House Journal Page 4083 HB 473 Chapter No. 101, SLA 1998 ¦Effective Date: July 1, 2000á In signing this bill, I note it does not take effect until July 1, 2000, at which time I will make appointments to the Alaska Fire Standards Council. The Department of Public Safety estimates the annual cost to operate the council at about $165,000 beginning in fiscal year 2001. I expect the Legislature's support for establishing this council is indicative of its intent to fully fund the cost of its operations. I know the Legislature did not intend for this important Council to be funded at the expense of other Department of Public Safety programs. I anticipate the Legislature will provide the necessary additional funds for the Council. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor cc: Commissioner Ron Otte, Dept. of Public Safety Annalee McConnell, Director, Office of Management and Budget The Honorable Mark Hodgins, Alaska State Representative"
