You provided those special people who helped to form, shape, inspire, and encourage us. You have made us unique, special, and diverse. Daily, You renew us with the gift of life. Thank You for that gift today. We offer to You the broad diversity among us: different backgrounds, different experiences, different perspectives, differing political views, and differing lifestyles. Use our differences not as wedges to divide or degrade, but as gifts to broaden and enrich. Make our diversity like bonding glue uniting us to effectively lead this great state amidst the challenges and opportunities. Give us that unquestionable integrity of heart and mind. This I pray in the Name of Jesus, Who came not to be served, but to serve. Amen. 2002-01-18 House Journal Page 1998 The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Wilson.

HB 199 SPONSOR SUBSTITUTE FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 199 by Representatives Hudson and Scalzi, entitled: "An Act relating to taxation, including taxation of income of individuals, estates, and trusts." was read the first time and referred to the State Affairs and Finance Committees. 2002-01-18 House Journal Page 2003 HB 282 SPONSOR SUBSTITUTE FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 282 by Representatives COGHILL and FATE, entitled: "An Act relating to prescription drug benefits under a group health care insurance plan." was read the first time and referred to the Labor & Commerce and Health, Education & Social Services Committees. The following Governor's bills are out of numerical sequence because the numbers were preassigned. HB 335 HOUSE BILL NO. 335 by the House Rules Committee by request of the Governor, entitled: "An Act making appropriations for the operating and loan program expenses of state government, for certain programs, and to capitalize funds; making appropriations under art. IX, sec. 17(c), Constitution of the State of Alaska, from the constitutional budget reserve fund; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Finance Committee. The Governor's transmittal letter dated January 16, 2002, appears below: "Dear Speaker Porter: The Fiscal Year 2003 operating budget I am transmitting today addresses three key goals: · It continues our investments for Alaska's children in education and provides for their health and safety; · It maintains the existing level of vital public services Alaskans count on; · It encourages responsible resource development to help create and protect jobs for Alaska families. 2002-01-18 House Journal Page 2004 Together with the capital budget and my legislative proposals for K-12 education and veterans, this budget is a $180 million general fund increase over the current fiscal year. Some $81 million of this increase is a direct result of actions you have taken in approving laws, budgets, contracts and replacing lost federal and other funding sources. It includes debt for approved new schools. Operating new facilities, from the Ketchikan youth home to the Anchorage jail. Obligations you approved for pupil transportation and state worker contracts. Medical care required by law for more seniors and Alaskans with disabilities. And holding constitutionally required elections this fall. The remaining amount is for fuel and utility price increases and heavier workloads, such as more state prisoners, or backlogs in permitting and safety inspections. I am indeed proposing some additional investments next year ¾ to improve educational opportunities for our children in K-12 and the university, to keep our children safe in their homes, and to free them from the dangers of tobacco, alcohol abuse, inhalants and suicide. On these investments, I recognize there is a fundamental difference of opinion between some legislators and the many Alaskans who, like me, believe this is a top priority. So I welcome a healthy, open, honest debate on two different visions of what our Alaska can be. There can be an Alaska where our children can learn to the best of their abilities, provide for their families, be good citizens. An Alaska that has saved hundreds of millions of dollars in fewer prisons, less welfare, lower health costs and fewer broken lives. I want to realize tomorrow's returns by making wise investments today. Each year my budget proposals in education and Smart Start have been declared dead on arrival by the Legislative majority. Yet thanks to the vision and grassroots advocacy of thousands of Alaskans and eventually bipartisan support in the Legislature, good ideas have prevailed. Rather than tying the commitment for our kids to the price of oil, I believe Alaskans will always put children first. It is worth noting that under my proposed investments, Alaska would spend $1,100 less per person in today's general fund dollars than in Fiscal 1979 ¾ the year before the pipeline boom began. Budgets have been cut in five of the past six years. 2002-01-18 House Journal Page 2005 I urge you to consider the future impacts of making similar investments again this year ¾ better schools, an even more vibrant university, fewer children abused or in foster care, fewer youth in detention and young adults in prison, Alaskans filling the best jobs in the economy of the future. These opportunities for tomorrow are well worth the investments we must make today. I stand ready to work with you to develop a responsible FY2003 budget for Alaskans. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor" HB 336 HOUSE BILL NO. 336 by the House Rules Committee by request of the Governor, entitled: "An Act making appropriations for the operating and capital expenses of the state's integrated comprehensive mental health program; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Finance Committee. A letter dated January 16, 2002, with an accompanying spreadsheet, to the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority from the Office of Management and Budget was attached (as required by AS 37.14.003(b)) and is on file in the Chief Clerk's office. The Governor's transmittal letter dated January 16, 2002, appears below: "Dear Speaker Porter: I am today transmitting a separate FY2003 appropriations bill for the state's comprehensive mental health program. As required by statute, it includes both operating and capital appropriations and is 2002-01-18 House Journal Page 2006 accompanied by a report outlining the differences between my budget and the recommendations of the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority. Alaska continues to improve services to beneficiaries of the mental health settlement and has become a national leader in the transition to community-based programs. To continue that progress, this proposal effectively uses a combination of Trust Authority receipts, general funds and Alaska Housing Finance Corporation receipts. The proposed mental health budget represents a cooperative effort between state agencies and the Trustees and staff of the Trust Authority. Together with the resources we have appropriated in recent years, their productive working relationships have helped make a positive difference for Alaska's mental health beneficiaries. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor" HB 337 HOUSE BILL NO. 337 by the House Rules Committee by request of the Governor, entitled: "An Act making capital appropriations and reappropriations, and capitalizing funds; making appropriations under art. IX, sec. 17(c), Constitution of the State of Alaska, from the constitutional budget reserve fund; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Finance Committee. The Governor's transmittal letter dated January 16, 2002, appears below: "Dear Speaker Porter: I am transmitting to you today my proposed capital budget for FY2003. When considered with bills you will receive separately, to 2002-01-18 House Journal Page 2007 finance schools and deferred maintenance, and proposals I submitted last year for accelerated transportation and harbor projects, the fiscal year 2003 capital package will be a solid investment to build Alaska's future. The projects support economic development as well as basic public services such as education, transportation and public protection. This $925 million capital appropriations bill includes $114 million in general funds, the same level as in FY2002. Approximately $60 million of that amount is to match federal funds, particularly for transportation and water/sewer projects throughout the state. The budget bill also includes $681 million in federal funds and $130 million in funds from other sources such as the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation, the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority, and the Alaska International Airport System. Alaska's businesses and communities depend on an adequate and well- maintained public infrastructure. The combination of annual capital appropriations and longer-term financing I propose this year will help address those needs in a fiscally responsible manner.
