Full Journal pdf2001-01-16 House Journal Page 0084 HB 50 The following letter dated January 12, 2001, was received regarding: HOUSE BILL NO. 50 "An Act extending the termination date of the State Board of Registration for Architects, Engineers, and Land Surveyors to June 30, 2005; relating to the temporary member of that board; and providing for an effective date." "Dear Speaker Porter: This letter replaces my letter dated January 10, 2001 as shown in 2001 House Journal, pages 51-52, concerning HB 50. In keeping with Alaska's tradition of appropriate regulation of our occupations and professions, on January 10, 2001, I transmitted a bill extending the "sunset" of the State Board of Registration for 2001-01-16 House Journal Page 0085 Architects, Engineers, and Land Surveyors to June 30, 2005. The bill also extended the temporary landscape architect board member position to the same date. In 1998, I signed into law a bill establishing licensure of landscape architects and adding a landscape architect to this state board as a temporary, non-voting position. The landscape architect member's expertise was very valuable when the board wrote the first regulations governing this profession. Landscape architect licensing is still in its early stages. The status of the landscape architect seat can best be evaluated as part of board sunset review in 2005. I urge your prompt and favorable action on this bill. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor" HB 50 is in the Labor & Commerce Committee with a further referral to the Finance Committee.
