Governors transmittal letter dated January 30: Dear President Miller: Alaskans deserve safe, healthy communities where our children and families can live, work and learn without fear of violence. Yet there is a growing concern in our communities that violence among our youth is on a steady increase. We must do all we can to curb this trend and to turn our youngsters away from a life of crime. To that end, last year I appointed a group of more than 80 people of wide expertise to a Conference on Youth and Justice. Today I am pleased to introduce to the legislature four measures that stem from the recommendations of that Conference. This action package was prepared by my Childrens Cabinet after carefully studying the 500-page report of the Conference and its more than 100 recommendations. The package includes legislation in the following areas: Juvenile Delinquency Proceedings: to address how juveniles are treated within the justice system, including confidentiality rules and sentencing options. Healthy Families: a program providing education and support services to pregnant women and the families of newborn infants. The aim is to prevent child abuse and neglect because many young victims grow up to become offenders. Alcohol Offenses: a program to ensure minors who have lost their drivers licenses for alcohol-related offenses are complying with education and treatment programs before getting their licenses reinstated. 1997-01-30 Senate Journal Page 0174 SB 69 Foster Care: a restructure of the states foster care review panels to expand them statewide. The attached bill relates to the juvenile delinquency proceedings and is described in further detail below. The other three bills introduced today are described in separate transmittal letters. Section 5 of this juvenile delinquency proceedings bill sets out a new philosophy for the state in responding to juvenile offenders. The Conference members urged us to rewrite this section of our statutes, to promote a balanced juvenile justice system in the state to protect the community, impose accountability for violations of law, and equip juvenile offenders with the skills needed to live responsibly and productively. The bill lists 14 purposes for the chapter, which may be useful in guiding the court and parties to legal actions in the proper interpretation of the delinquency chapter. I urge the legislature to keep in mind this overall purpose when deliberating changes to our juvenile justice system. Among the provisions of this bill is one allowing communities to handle minor juvenile offenses through programs such as youth courts. This is perhaps the single most important step the state can take to get the message out that there will be consequences for all juvenile offenses. The state does not have the resources for swift and consistent action on all juvenile offenses. Communities want the tools to respond to minor offenses and this bill will help create them. This bill also opens up the confidentiality laws for certain, more serious juvenile offenders who are 16 or older. This provision is crafted with an effort to balance the traditional and well-founded need to protect a juveniles privacy so that bad youthful decisions wont haunt the child for life, with the publics right to know about serious juvenile offenders. Also included in this bill is the establishment of a dual sentencing system for the state whereby certain juveniles can be given both a juvenile and an adult sentence. This is aimed at preventing juvenile offenders from becoming serious, chronic offenders and would affect only the small percentage of juveniles in this risk category. 1997-01-30 Senate Journal Page 0175 SB 69 Imposing a juvenile disposition for the offense and, at the same time, pronouncing an adult sentence, places responsibility for the juveniles future in the youths own hands. If the juvenile offender stays out of trouble and obeys all court-ordered conditions, the adult dual sentence is never imposed. If, however, the offender commits a new crime or violates any court orders, he or she faces the adult sentence, including incarceration in state prison. Finally, the bill makes some minor changes clarifying that courts may order juvenile delinquents to perform community work service and authorizing municipalities to impose civil penalties against juveniles who violate municipal ordinances. This bill also enacts an amendment to the Interstate Compact on Juveniles to clarify Alaska will cooperate with the Compact in the area of returning delinquent or runaway juveniles to other states. Alaska adopted the Interstate Compact on Juveniles in 1960 but, through an apparent oversight, did not adopt this subsequent amendment to the Compact. While the Conference did not discuss this provision, it is consistent with the Conference recommendations to improve our juvenile justice system. My youth justice package of initiatives, taken as a whole, reflects a balance between dealing with current juvenile offenders and preventing future offenders. Funding for the package must also reflect this balance. In addition to helping our communities handle current offenders, we must invest money in prevention efforts. To that end, the legislative package includes fiscal notes listing about $1.8 million in expenses and more than $1 million in revenues to properly implement some of these proposals. In addition, funding for this legislative package, including other needed programs which the Conference recommended, is included in my proposed operating budget. Specifically: $300,000 in additional funds for Head Start $614,000 for the Healthy Families Program $107,000 for Partnership 2000 (community involvement in education) $250,000 for the National Guard Youth Corps program $50,000 for inhalant abuse prevention 1997-01-30 Senate Journal Page 0176 SB 69 $398,000 for additional juvenile probation officers $410,000 for community grants for diversion programs I will also be addressing items related to youth crime and the juvenile justice system in my capital budget which I will present in the near future. It will include funding to expand the Johnson Youth Center in Juneau to relieve serious overcrowding in our youth facilities in Anchorage and Bethel as well as Juneau. The Conference on Youth and Justice has done Alaskans a great service in its year-long effort to produce a comprehensive plan for increasing public safety and decreasing juvenile crime. As stated in the Conference report, These are important public goals . . . They will require the involvement, commitment, and cooperation of the Alaska Legislature to ensure that required statutory changes are enacted. I am asking you now for that involvement, commitment, and cooperation. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor SB 70 SENATE BILL NO. 70 BY SENATOR DONLEY, entitled: An Act defining the offenses of unlawful discharge of a firearm; and relating to the commission of those offenses by minors. was read the first time and referred to the Health, Education and Social Services, Judiciary and Finance Committees.

Governors transmittal letter dated January 30: Dear President Miller: Alcohol abuse among minors is one of the most serious and disturbing problems facing this state. It is crucial that we discourage young Alaskans from making the wrong choices about alcohol. This bill helps achieve that goal by enhancing our current laws regarding treatment for underage drinkers. It is part of my package of legislation based on recommendations of the Governors Conference on Youth and Justice. This bill ensures that minors whose driver's licenses have been revoked for alcohol-related offenses are properly screened and monitored for compliance with education and treatment programs before their licenses are reinstated. It does so by extending toward minors a treatment program which has proved successful for adult offenders -- the alcohol safety action program, or ASAP. The state oversees the ASAP which screens offenders, determines what education or treatment is appropriate for them and then monitors their compliance with the recommendations. If the offender fails to comply, further court proceedings are initiated. 1997-01-30 Senate Journal Page 0178 SB 71 My proposal for zero tolerance for underage drinking and driving was passed last year and is now in effect in addition to our use it, lose it law. Under the zero tolerance law, a minors drivers license is revoked if the minor drives a vehicle after consuming any quantity of alcohol. The use it, lose it law revokes a minors drivers license if the minor possesses or consumes unlawful drugs or alcohol, regardless of whether the minor was driving a vehicle at the time. Both laws require the minor complete an education or treatment program before the license may be reinstated. However, there is currently no program for minors similar to the ASAP. To fill this gap, this legislation proposes a program for minors that would be housed in the Department of Health and Social Services. The program would be funded with the fees charged for reinstating any drivers license that has been revoked. This bill increases that fee for first-time offenders from $100 to $250 -- creating another deterrent to underage drinking and drinking and driving for anyone, at any age. The increased fee is expected to generate more than $1 million which will easily cover the $605,000 cost of the youth treatment program. This bill to address the problem of underage drinking is an integral component of my package on the youth justice system and an attempt to take an aggressive approach toward ending a growing crisis in our state. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor SB 72 SENATE BILL NO. 72 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: 1997-01-30 Senate Journal Page 0179 SB 72 An Act establishing the Healthy Families Alaska program; relating to Medicaid coverage for targeted case management services for pregnant women and for eligible children under the age of five; and providing for an effective date. was read the first time and referred to the State Affairs, Health, Education and Social Services and Finance Committees. Zero fiscal notes published today from Department of Health and Social Services (2). Governors transmittal letter dated January 30: Dear President Miller: Its easy to say lets just get tough when faced with the dilemma of how to put an end to our growing problem with juvenile crime. But getting tough is just one part of a much bigger formula. We must promote and fund prevention services for kids who are at risk of becoming juvenile offenders so that we never allow the cycle of a life of violence and crime to begin. This bill is part of my package of legislation based on recommendations of the Governors Conference on Youth and Justice. It establishes the Healthy Families Alaska program to provide education and support services to pregnant women and the families of newborn infants. The Healthy Families program offers home visits to eligible families on a voluntary basis. The visits are designed to meet the needs of parents for information, emotional support, stress management, and assistance with other negative factors that undermine parents health habits and the care of their children. In addition to preventing child abuse and neglect, the service providers work with families to ensure their children receive medical care, such as immunizations, and that mothers receive prenatal care. 1997-01-30 Senate Journal Page 0180 SB 72 These home visits teach parents to develop realistic expectations about child development and positive discipline techniques. They also educate parents about other available services, such as job training programs, drug and alcohol abuse programs, and day care assistance. The Healthy Families Alaska program is administered by the Department of Health and Social Services with services provided by community-based private, nonprofit corporations, municipal governments, and regional Native health corporations. I also anticipate this program will be eligible for future Medicaid coverage; the bill is written to accommodate that possibility. It is crucial this program be fully funded if it is to achieve its goals. I have included in my proposed operating budget $614,000 for the Healthy Families program. Because research shows that abused children are more likely to become violent or be victims of violence as adults, prenatal and infancy home visitation programs may be an effective long-term strategy for preventing youth violence. Programs similar to this proposal have proven effective in other states in preventing poor childhood outcomes, including abuse and neglect. I urge you to allow Alaska to join those states in establishing an effective Healthy Families program. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor SB 73 SENATE BILL NO. 73 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: 1997-01-30 Senate Journal Page 0181 SB 73 An Act relating to the citizen review board and panels for permanency planning for children in state foster care; extending the termination date of the Citizens Foster Care Review Board; and providing for an effective date. was read the first time and referred to the Labor and Commerce, Health, Education and Social Services and Finance Committees. Fiscal note published today from Department of Administration. Zero fiscal note published today from Department of Health and Social Services. Governors transmittal letter dated January 30: Dear President Miller: One of the services provided for abused, neglected or delinquent youths in the states custody is placement in foster care. It is essential these placements receive periodic review to ensure the childrens needs are being met. However, the statutory mandate to conduct regular citizen reviews statewide is not currently carried out, primarily because of lack of funding and a burdensome and duplicative review structure. This bill, as part of my package of bills introduced today based on the recommendations of the Governors Conference on Youth and Justice, restructures the foster care review system to improve the foster care program for our children. Existing law specifies that local foster care review panels be established statewide, each composed of five volunteer citizen members. The costs of recruiting and training the volunteers and then conducting the reviews far exceed the level of funding appropriated to date. The result is that review panels have only existed in the Anchorage area and, even then, cover only a fraction of the total number of children in foster care. 1997-01-30 Senate Journal Page 0182 SB 73 At the same time, to comply with federal law, the Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS) reviews foster care cases using panels consisting of at least two department members and one citizen volunteer member. Under this bill, the newly named Citizens Foster Care Review Board housed within the Department of Administration is reduced from ten members to nine, with five being public members. The statewide board will appoint and train citizens for the local review panels, each consisting of three public members and two members from the DHSS. The panel will be chaired by one of the public members, but the department will schedule the reviews, provide notification to necessary participants, and draft the panel reports. This new structure will meet both the federal and state requirements within one foster care review system, thereby avoiding the current wasteful duplication of services. The cost of operating the review panels will also be greatly reduced by relying on the staff support from the DHSS. Most importantly, this new system will enable the establishment of citizen review panels statewide. This means the state can follow through on its responsibility to oversee the foster care program and provide the quality of services our children in need deserve.
