 Fiscal Note No. 1, Department of Military and Veterans Affairs                                     
                                                                                                    
Governor's transmittal letter dated January 22:                                                     
                                                                                                    
Dear President Halford:                                                                             
                                                                                                    
In 1996 I issued Administrative Order No. 164 to establish the Alaska                               
Veterans Advisory Council. The council advises the state on ways to                                 
better address the needs and concerns of Alaska's veterans, their                                   
dependents and their survivors. Its work is vital and deserves a                                    
permanent status. I am therefore transmitting this bill to establish the                            
Alaska Veterans Advisory Council in statute within the Department of                                
Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA).
