HB 446 HOUSE BILL NO. 446 by the House Rules Committee by request of the Governor, entitled: "An Act establishing and relating to the power cost equalization endowment fund; relating to the power cost equalization and rural electric capitalization fund; authorizing and relating to the sale of the four dam pool hydroelectric project; establishing and relating to joint action agencies created to purchase power projects; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Finance Committee. The following fiscal note applies: Fiscal note, Dept. of Community & Economic Development, 4/12/00 The Governor's transmittal letter dated April 11, 2000, appears below: "Dear Speaker Porter: This bill I am introducing today implements the terms of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Alaska Energy Authority (AEA) and several Alaska communities and utilities served by the Four Dam Pool projects for the sale of those hydroelectric facilities. This sale represents years of hard work by AEA and the local utilities and meets the three principles essential to a successful agreement: 2000-04-12 House Journal Page 3079 HB 446 1) The sale must return fair value to the state for its assets and meet sound business practices as judged by the AEA; 2) The sale must benefit Alaska communities and their ratepayers through local control and economic development opportunities; 3) Proceeds from the sale must be used to provide long-term funding of the Power Cost Equalization (PCE) program. This bill authorizes the sale of the Four Dam Pool to the purchasing utilities pursuant to the MOU. The Alaska Industrial Development & Export Authority (AIDEA) is authorized to provide financing for the sale, not to exceed $110 million. It also authorizes a "joint action agency" to enable the new utility pool to operate and issue bonds. To receive the sale proceeds for long-term PCE funding, an endowment fund is established under the management of the Department of Revenue. Seven percent of endowment earnings will be used annually to fund the PCE program. Other funds, such as the securing of federal funds, may also be placed in the endowment. Any shortfall in funding the $15.7 million PCE program from endowment earnings would be met through a portion of the AIDEA annual dividend, not to exceed $9 million annually. Although time in this session may be short, the opportunity to culminate years of negotiations, to provide financial benefit to the state and local communities, and to create a mechanism for long-term funding of PCE cannot be lost. I urge your prompt consideration of this landmark piece of legislation. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor" HB 447 HOUSE BILL NO. 447 by the House Rules Committee by request of the Governor, entitled: 2000-04-12 House Journal Page 3080 HB 447 "An Act making appropriations relating to power cost equalization and the sale of the four dam pool hydroelectric project and to capitalize funds; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Finance Committee. The Governor's transmittal letter dated April 11, 2000, appears below: "Dear Speaker Porter: This appropriation bill, along with a companion authorization bill, implements the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Alaska Energy Authority (AEA) and several Alaska communities and utilities for the sale of the Four Dam Pool facilities. The bill appropriates the proceeds from the sale to the Power Cost Equalization (PCE) Endowment Fund created by the companion bill. The appropriation includes the purchase price, an insurance fund, an amount originally designated for a loan for the Southeast Intertie, debt service payments from the Four Dam Pool until July 1, 2001, and any future repayments of credits extended under the MOU. Some of the debt service payments would directly fund the PCE program for FY 01 during a transition period until earnings are realized from the endowment. Once fully established, the endowment will contain more than $100 million and will contribute more than $7.5 million annually to the PCE program. Coupled with a portion of the annual Alaska Industrial Development & Export Authority dividend, this will provide a sustainable, dependable source of long-term funding for a program critical to meeting the necessities of health, safety and welfare of rural residents faced with extraordinarily high costs of energy. The sale of the Four Dam Pool provides fair value to the State, benefits to local communities and ratepayers, and long-term funding for PCE. I urge your prompt consideration of this measure. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor" 2000-04-12 House Journal Page 3081 CONSIDERATION OF THE DAILY CALENDAR SECOND READING OF HOUSE BILLS HB 270 The following was read the second time: SPONSOR SUBSTITUTE FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 270 "An Act relating to sexual assault and sexual abuse and to payment for certain examinations in cases of alleged sexual assault or sexual abuse." with the: Journal Page STA RPT CS(STA) NT 4DP 2487 ZERO FISCAL NOTE (DPS) 2488 HES RPT CS(HES) NT 4DP 2NR 2801 ZERO FISCAL NOTE (DPS) 3/15/00 2801 FIN RPT CS(HES) NT 10DP 2979 ZERO FISCAL NOTE (DPS) 3/15/00 2980 Representative Green moved and asked unanimous consent that the following committee substitute be adopted in lieu of the original bill: CS FOR SPONSOR SUBSTITUTE FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 270(HES) "An Act relating to payment for certain examinations in cases of sexual assault."
