Senators Leman, Mackie, Pearce were absent. The prayer was offered by the Chaplain, Senator Green. Senator Hoffman moved and asked unanimous consent that the prayer be spread. Without objection, it was so ordered. Our Dear Heavenly Father, it is with a great deal of pleasure we come to You today. As always we know we are able to ask You for the things we need and the mercy that You show us. Most of all we have the ability to give You praise. On this very special day, as we reflect on the role of mothers in our lives, we think back to memories of our mothers. We think of the way they used unconditional love as they brought us up and nurtured us; as they had the mercy to forgive; the ability to be patient when we tried their patience. For those who are for the first time celebrating a Mothers Day, we ask that You be with them to give them guidance and care as they nuture their children through the years. For those in our Senate family who will soon be mothers, we pray that they be given the peace and the assurance that in the delivery of their new babies, all will be well. We pray for those of us who are separated from our mothers, either across the state or in terms of thousands of miles, and for those of us who have a spouse from whom we are separated on this very special day. We ask that you be with us and help us to hold very very dear the thoughts of our mothers. For those of us who have had to say good bye to our mothers, we pray that you fill the emptiness of our hearts. Be with us and guide us in all that we do. Amen. 3959 1998-05-10 Senate Journal Page 3960 Senator Halford led the Senate in the Pledge of Allegiance. Certification Senator Taylor moved and asked unanimous consent that the journal for the one hundred eighteenth legislative day be approved as certified by the Secretary. Without objection, it was so ordered. Messages from the Governor HB 168 Message dated and received May 9 was read, stating: Dear President Miller: Under authority of art. II, sec. 15 of the Alaska Constitution, I have vetoed the following bill: CS FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 168(RLS)(efd fld) An Act relating to use of traditional means of access to assist in taking game or fish and to traditional means of access for traditional outdoor activities on land and water set aside for fish and game purposes. I am vetoing this bill because it significantly compromises the Board of Fisheries' and Board of Game's obligation to manage Alaska's fish and wildlife responsibly. It is an unreasonable and unacceptable constraint on future decision making by these bodies while establishing a complicated regulatory process to solve a problem that doesn't exist. This bill also limits the access of citizens to fish and game management decisions through the board process and local fish and game advisory committees. For that reason, local fish and game advisory committees and many individual committee members from across the state have expressed opposition to this bill. I also cannot support a bill that limits the public's ability to effectively participate in decisions that directly affect Alaska citizens in their own communities. 1998-05-10 Senate Journal Page 3961 HB 168 House Bill 168 requires citizens to go to the Legislature for decisions that have long been made by the boards of fish and game. Legislative debate on this bill indicated it was primarily designed to limit the Board of Game's ability to adopt Controlled Use Areas. Regulating the means of transportation used in hunting through creation of Controlled Use Areas is a legitimate tool of the Board of Game, and one that Alaskans accept. The Board of Game considers the establishment of Controlled Use Areas "one of the principal actions available to the board for protection of wildlife, habitat, broadest possible hunter opportunity, and hunt quality in areas of heavy harvest pressure and user conflict." A few Controlled Use Areas exist today that limit some types of motorized vehicles in hunting and trapping. These are mostly walk- in or fly-in areas that are very popular with a broad spectrum of hunters. A quiet hunting experience is quite different from one using a vehicle. Most Alaskans believe there is room on the state's 104 million acres to manage lands for all types of users including both motorized and non-motorized. Even the proponents of this bill concede there is no current problem with Controlled Use Areas. Yet the bill places broad restrictions on any future creation of these areas by the Board of Fisheries and the Department of Fish and Game, as well as the Board of Game. The regulatory process this bill requires is complicated and vague. The bill leaves key concepts open to interpretation, inviting debate and confusion. The result is this bill increases the likelihood of litigation against the state, to no good purpose. Furthermore, longstanding and broadly accepted access restrictions, like the "same- day airborne" ban on hunting most big game, could be eroded under this bill if the Board of Game decides to address special concerns by temporarily lifting restrictions, as it has been asked to do in the past. Reestablishing these restrictions would take an act of the Legislature, making timeliness for game and habitat protection impossible. 1998-05-10 Senate Journal Page 3962 HB 168 Alaska's elected officials should be protecting the state's traditional use of the board process, not restricting that use because of an imagined concern that motorized access for hunting and fishing may be unreasonably restricted at some time in the future. The boards and the department have been very supportive of maintaining opportunities for motorized access, and are fully accessible to the public for modifying access rules, as the public considers necessary. This bill serves no productive purpose and has several severe deficiencies. It has the unfortunate result of widening the gap between the fish and game regulatory process and the people most likely to be affected by those regulations. For all of these reasons, I have concluded that a veto is necessary. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor Messages from the House SB 236 Message dated May 9 was read, stating the House passed and returned: CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 236(RES) An Act extending the termination date of the Citizens Advisory Commission on Federal Areas in Alaska; and providing for an effective date.
