Introduction and Reference of Senate Bills SB 293 SENATE BILL NO. 293 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: An Act relating to contracts for the provision of state public assistance to certain recipients in the state; providing for regional public assistance plans and programs in the state; relating to grants for Alaska tribal family assistance programs; and providing for an effective date. was read the first time and referred to the Health, Education and Social Services and Finance Committees. Zero fiscal note published today from Department of Health and Social Services. 1998-02-12 Senate Journal Page 2499 SB 293 Governors transmittal letter dated February 10: Dear President Miller: In accepting the challenge of reforming Alaska's welfare system, the state must make every effort to build a successful public assistance program. This bill I transmit today continues Alaska's efforts to implement effective and responsible welfare reform, particularly in rural areas. This legislation takes advantage of a provision in federal welfare reform allowing regional non-profit Native corporations to develop and implement welfare programs. Not only would this promote local responsibility for program success, it will better tie program assistance to local economic and social conditions. Under the bill, the Department of Health and Social Services may contract with regional Native organizations for operating family assistance plans. The federal Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, established that specifically named Alaska Native organizations could propose to operate tribal family assistance plans, independent of the state plan, to serve the native population within a specific geographical region. A state- and federally-approved tribal family assistance plan will receive, directly from the federal government, a portion of Alaska's allocation of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families block grant funds to provide public assistance to the families the plan serves. The federal funds, however, will only be about half of the funds that have historically been appropriated to serve this purpose. This bill establishes standards by which the state will provide grants to these organizations to match the federal funds. The regional plans are expected to be custom designed to meet the economic conditions and needs of the area. Regional plans may depart from some requirements of the state assistance program, as long as the plans contain specifically identified program elements. Additional provisions in the bill address record sharing and confidentiality, data reporting and financial records, program termination, and procedures for appeal. 1998-02-12 Senate Journal Page 2500 SB 293 This bill will contribute to making our public assistance programs more effective by considering regional conditions in plan developments. I urge your support of this bill. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor SB 294 SENATE BILL NO. 294 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: An Act providing for a Cook Inlet watershed water quality monitoring project tax credit under the Alaska Net Income Tax Act; and providing for an effective date. was read the first time and referred to the Resources and Finance Committees. Fiscal notes published today from Department of Revenue, Department of Environmental Conservation. Governors transmittal letter dated February 11: Dear President Miller: In the interest of ensuring healthy communities in Alaska and continuing the state's partnership with industry for responsible development, I am transmitting a bill offering corporate tax credits to companies for voluntary water quality monitoring programs in the Cook Inlet area. The tax credit is intended as an incentive to private industry to expand their efforts in safeguarding our precious watersheds. The concept for this bill was proposed by a group of Cook Inlet area stakeholders representing the oil and gas industry, Native corporations, commercial and sport fishing, tourism, environmental groups, and private landowners. 1998-02-12 Senate Journal Page 2501 SB 294 The tax credit provided under the bill is limited to certain expenditures for water quality monitoring projects in the Cook Inlet watershed that meet specific criteria. A taxpayer would be allowed a 60 percent credit against the Alaska Net Income Tax for qualified direct expenditures on an approved water quality project. The credit would be limited to $100,000 per year or 50 percent of the tax liability, whichever is less. Only qualified project expenditures in the state in a tax year beginning after December 31, 1998 and before January 1, 2004 are eligible for a credit under the bill, but carry- forwards may be made to tax years beginning before January 1, 2007. To be eligible for the credit, a taxpayer must submit a project design to the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) for approval. The department would also certify the direct expenditures for qualified water quality monitoring projects. The DEC may seek help from an advisory group with expertise in water quality projects to evaluate project designs or certify expenses. This bill will encourage private industry to invest in qualified water quality monitoring projects in the Cook Inlet watershed. If this tax credit program is successful, it will serve as a model for additional water quality monitoring programs across the state.
