Without objection, it was so ordered. Creator God; As we awakened this morning we were reminded of the majestic beauty that surrounds us. May the Sun remind us of the warmth that comes to our lives and the wind be symbolic of Your spirit that blows in the midst of our very being. As we awakened this morning we were reminded of the many activities ahead of us. We take a moment out of our busy day to acknowledge and honor You. You created us, made and molded each of us unique and individual. We thank You for the creation of all things good and Your continued creativity in each of us. As we embark upon this day help us to be mindful that the one powerful enough to create this world is also powerful enough to walk with us and guide us through the busy activities of our lives. Help us look toward You in our decisions and in the work to which weve been elected and called. We thank You that we are not all the same. You made us unique and special, various cultures, different personality types and varied interests. You created each of us unique and special. Help us honor 685 1997-03-12 Senate Journal Page 0686 that uniqueness in others with respect. May we stand firm in our own convictions and at the same time listen carefully to the convictions of others. When it comes time to make decisions on behalf of the people of Alaska may we honor You by doing what we believe to be right and just. Again we thank You for all who make up this body and the work to which theyve been called. The work of this body is not easy and the decisions at times are difficult. May each Senator find meaning in what they do. Bring us calm even in the midst of the storms. Help us always to move with the convictions of our conscience, but may our conscience be guided by Your will. We give thanks for this new day and the challenging work that lies before us. This prayer we offer to the one who created us and sustains us. Amen. Senator Parnell led the Senate in the Pledge of Allegiance.

INTRODUCTION AND REFERENCE OF SENATE RESOLUTIONS SJR 23 SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 23 BY THE SENATE HEALTH, EDUCATION AND SOCIAL SERVICES COMMITTEE, Urging the United States Congress to amend the Social Security Act so that the higher cost of living in Alaska is reflected when the per capita income of the state is used as a factor in determining the federal share of Medicaid costs. was read the first time and referred to the Health, Education and Social Services Committee. 1997-03-12 Senate Journal Page 0691 INTRODUCTION AND REFERENCE OF SENATE BILLS SB 132 SENATE BILL NO. 132 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: An Act relating to registration of sex offenders and central registry of sex offenders; relating to access to, release of, and use of criminal justice information and systems; relating to notices concerning sex offender registrants; and providing for an effective date. 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 Public Safety (2). Indeterminate fiscal notes published today from Department of Administration (2). Governors transmittal letter dated March 10: Dear President Miller: Reducing the number of people, especially children, who are victimized by violent and repeat sex offenders is an important part of my goal of ensuring safe, healthy communities for Alaskans. This bill strengthens the sex offender registration statutes and broadens access to criminal records in an effort to better protect the public from these criminals. The bill is prompted, in part, to comply with the requirements of the federal Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act which requires registration of sex offenders whose victims were under 18 years old. Compliance with the Act will maintain the states eligibility for $200,000 in grant funds. 1997-03-12 Senate Journal Page 0692 SB 132 The state already complies with much of the Wetterling Act by requiring registration of most sex offenders who victimize children. For full compliance with the act, this bill adds to the list of offenses that require registration to include kidnaping when the victim is under 18; sexual abuse of a minor in the fourth degree if the victim is 16 or 17 years old; and promoting prostitution in the third degree, if the offender induces a person 16 or 17 years of age to engage in prostitution. The bill also enlarges the category of sex offenders who must register for life. Under present law, only repeat sex offenders must register for life while other sex offenders register for 15 years. This bill requires life registration for first-time offenders convicted of the most serious sex offenses, the unclassified felonies of sexual assault in the first degree and sexual abuse of a minor in the first degree. The state must verify the addresses of life registrants every 90 days. By requiring those most serious first-time offenders to register for life, the state is expecting to avoid the costly and time-consuming procedure recommended by the Wetterling Act. That is to require a sentencing court, with the advice of a statewide board of experts in the treatment and behavior of sex offenders, to determine whether each sex offender is a sexually violent predator. The expense of establishing such a board of experts and the costs of open-ended litigation concerning whether a sex offender continues to be a predator would be very high. Registration for life and address verification is not only less expensive, but will better protect the public. Separate from the Wetterling Act requirements, the bill also changes when the time begins on the 15-year requirement for sex offender registration. Currently the clock starts at the time of unconditional discharge, which is an elusive date determined by a complex formula based on Department of Corrections information which is not available in the record system of the Department of Public Safety. The bill would start the clock at the time the offender registers, 1997-03-12 Senate Journal Page 0693 SB 132 which will actually create an incentive for the offender to register as quickly as possible. It is a misdemeanor to fail to comply with the sex offender registration law; thus it is important the period of registration be absolutely clear. Finally, the bill expands public access to information on all convictions by opening state criminal history records beyond the current 10-year limit. Broader information to the public will enable people to better protect themselves and their families. This bill is one more step the state can take to keep our communities safe. I urge your favorable action. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor SB 133 SENATE BILL NO. 133 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: An Act relating to a small business development tax credit under the Alaska Net Income Tax Act; and providing for an effective date. was read the first time and referred to the State Affairs and Finance Committees. Fiscal note published today from Department of Revenue. Governors transmittal letter dated March 11: Dear President Miller: 1997-03-12 Senate Journal Page 0694 SB 133 The vast majority of Alaskas businesses can be defined as small but they play an enormous role in our states economy by providing more than 70 percent of private sector jobs and being the largest employers of minorities, women and youth. Any effort to give a boost to business in Alaska must consider small businesses. This bill, which is part of my Alaska Business Investment Incentive Plan, will encourage growth in small businesses by offering them tax credits for improving and expanding their operations. The intent is to help level the competitive playing field between small businesses and larger corporations which enjoy economies of scale and management, and ready access to investment capital at favorable interest rates. Through this program, the state can assist small businesses in covering start-up costs, the purchase of new equipment, and the expansion of facilities--leading to jobs for Alaskans. The Small Business Investment Tax Credit will benefit non-affiliated corporations, those with no brothers, sisters, parents or subsidiaries, with fewer than 50 employees. The tax credit will be 10% of capital investment up to $100,000, with a maximum annual credit of $10,000 and 50% of the businesss corporate income tax liability. To qualify, the investment must be for new property and the corporation must be in good standing on unemployment insurance and other state taxes. This proposal will help small businesses--the lifeblood of Alaskas economy--to expand and thrive, thereby ensuring more Alaska private sector jobs and a healthy economy as we enter the next century. This is one goal we all can agree on and support.
