INTRODUCTION AND REFERENCE OF SENATE BILLS SB 101 SENATE BILL NO. 101 BY SENATOR DONLEY, entitled: An Act relating to the adoption, amendment, repeal, legislative review, and judicial review of regulations; and amending Rule 202, Alaska Rules of Appellate Procedure. was read the first time and referred to the Judiciary and Finance Committees. SB 102 SENATE BILL NO. 102 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: An Act relating to the eligibility of aliens for state public assistance and medical assistance programs affected by federal welfare reform legislation; and providing for an effective date. 1997-02-24 Senate Journal Page 0471 SB 102 was read the first time and referred to the Health, Education and Social Services, Judiciary and Finance Committees. Fiscal notes published today from Department of Health and Social Services (3). Zero fiscal notes published today from Department of Health and Social Services (2). Governors transmittal letter dated February 24: Dear President Miller: Federal welfare reform enacted in August 1996 limited the eligibility of certain legal immigrants for public and medical assistance benefits and left it up to the states whether to continue that coverage. With this bill, I am asking Alaska to assure those qualified immigrants in need, who were here before the change in federal law, can continue to receive benefits. Those arriving after the change in law would be subject to the new restrictions. The state welfare reform bill enacted in Alaska in 1996 did not address the eligibility of immigrants. This bill establishes that Medicaid, family assistance, and adult public assistance benefits will be available to "qualified aliens" and that for aliens who entered the United States on or after August22,1996, these benefits will not be available for the first five years after establishing qualified alien status in the United States. This legislation strikes an appropriate balance in services for legal immigrants. By continuing to provide services to those who were in the country before the new federal welfare law was enacted, the state is acknowledging its responsibility to provide safety net programs for those Alaskans who need basic services and who originally entered this country under conditions that would grant them these services. However, those immigrants coming into the country after August 1996 will be aware they are subject to new rules and their access to services will be restricted. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor 1997-02-24 Senate Journal Page 0472 SB 103 SENATE BILL NO. 103 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: An Act relating to hearings before and authorizing fees for the State Commission for Human Rights; and providing for an effective date. was read the first time and referred to the State Affairs and Finance Committees. Zero fiscal note published today from Office of the Governor. Governors transmittal letter dated February 24: Dear President Miller: In our efforts to reduce budgets, some actions that save money also create efficiencies which better meet public service goals. That is the case with this bill regarding the Human Rights Commission. This proposal provides the Commission more flexibility in its operations and helps the body perform its essential work for the state. The bill would allow the Human Rights Commission to hold hearings at its office in Anchorage rather than where the alleged discrimination occurred, as is required under current law. This will save time and money in travel costs. The Commission would continue to ensure that complainants may participate in the hearings. This bill would also allow the Commission to charge fees to cover the costs of services, information and materials and to provide tapes rather than transcriptions of the hearings, as currently required. These changes would reduce the cost and time involved in resolving cases, helping the Commission to work through its tremendous backlog of cases, and better respond to the publics increased requests for its services. The result will be better human rights protection for Alaskans. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor 1997-02-24 Senate Journal Page 0473 CONSIDERATION OF THE CALENDAR SECOND READING OF SENATE BILLS SB 19 SENATE BILL NO. 19 An Act repealing the power and duty of the commissioner of fish and game to assist in the enforcement of federal laws relating to fish and game was read the second time.
