Introduction and Reference of Senate Bills SB 119 SPONSOR SUBSTITUTE FOR SENATE BILL NO. 119 BY SENATORS WILKEN, Kelly, Therriault, Pearce, Leman, Torgerson, Halford, Lincoln, Ward, entitled: "An Act naming the William R. Wood Fairbanks International Airport; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Transportation Committee. SB 137 SENATE BILL NO. 137 BY SENATOR TORGERSON, entitled: "An Act relating to the allocation of money appropriated to the Alaska Human Resource Investment Council; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Finance Committee. 2001-03-13 Senate Journal Page 0636 SB 138 SENATE BILL NO. 138 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: "An Act relating to the business of insurance, including changes to the insurance code to implement federal financial services reforms for the business of insurance and to authorize the director of insurance to review criminal backgrounds for individuals applying to engage in the business of insurance; amending Rule 402, Alaska Rules of Evidence; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Labor and Commerce and Judiciary Committees. The following fiscal information was published today: Fiscal Note No. 1, zero, Department of Community and Economic Development Governor's transmittal letter dated March 9: Dear President Halford: I am transmitting this bill to implement needed financial service reforms in our insurance code in compliance with the federal Gramm- Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA). These changes will assist the State in maintaining its regulatory authority over the business of insurance in Alaska. The GLBA repealed depression-era restrictions on the insurance, banking, and securities industries and, more notably, removed some of the barriers that limited banks from engaging in the business of insurance. Under the GLBA, specific standards are established with respect to consumer privacy, consumer protection, insurance producer licensing, and insurance sales. It requires states to streamline and coordinate their regulatory systems to make them faster, less burdensome, and more effective. This bill reforms our laws to conform to the GLBA and to continue the process of streamlining and coordinating insurance regulation. 2001-03-13 Senate Journal Page 0637 Under the bill, the GLBA reforms would focus on three key areas: · Establishing reciprocity for licensing nonresident insurance producers; · Implementing the GLBA consumer privacy standards regarding sharing of personal information with affiliates and nonaffiliates; and · Implementing GLBA consumer protection measures related to the sale of insurance by financial institutions. These reforms are based on models adopted by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). A significant portion of the bill would amend AS 21.27, the licensing chapter of the insurance code, to provide for reciprocity in the licensing of nonresident producers. In this context, reciprocity means that a nonresident producer would receive a license to transact insurance in this state to the same extent that the producer is licensed in the producer's home state, without having to satisfy any additional requirements. Licensing in this state would be accomplished by submitting an application, providing proof of licensing and good standing from the home state, and paying the license fees. Reciprocity also would allow resident producers to obtain licensing in other states without meeting state-specific requirements. All insurance producers, however, would still be subject to state-specific requirements related to unfair trade practices or consumer protection. The bill requires use of uniform applications in an electronic format to speed up insurance licensing. The GLBA requires that at least 29 states adopt either reciprocity or uniformity in insurance producer licensing by November 2002, in order to maintain the authority to license nonresident insurance producers. Otherwise, a national organization authorized under the GLBA would assume that role. Enacting this bill into law in Alaska would achieve reciprocity and thereby help ensure the state retains the authority to license nonresident producers. 2001-03-13 Senate Journal Page 0638 Another time-sensitive issue under the GLBA relates to consumer privacy. The federal law sets a minimum privacy standard that states must adopt and enforce by July 1, 2001, or risk losing the authority to enforce state consumer protection standards with respect to financial institution insurance sales. This bill expressly requires those regulated under our insurance statutes to comply with the GLBA privacy standards and authorizes the state director of insurance to adopt corresponding regulations on consumer privacy. In addition to the GLBA-related reforms, the bill addresses other important issues to facilitate state insurance regulation and to conform to federal law. This includes the ability to obtain national criminal history record checks for persons who want to engage in the business of insurance. It also requires a person with a felony conviction involving dishonesty or breach of trust to obtain the express written consent of the director of insurance before engaging in the business of insurance. Without this consent, federal law prohibits such persons from working in the business of insurance. The amendment under this bill would assist the director of insurance in ensuring that prohibited persons comply with the law. I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor SB 139 SENATE BILL NO. 139 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: "An Act relating to fees for certain uses of state water and the accounting and appropriation of those fees; relating to authorizations for the temporary use of state water; making other amendments to the Alaska Water Use Act; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Resources and Finance Committees. 2001-03-13 Senate Journal Page 0639 The following fiscal information was published today: Fiscal Note No. 1, Department of Natural Resources Governor's transmittal letter dated March 9: Dear President Halford: This bill I transmit today creates a logical source of funding for Alaska's water use program, bringing much needed efficiency to the program for commercial and residential users. The program has suffered continued underfunding for several years, causing a serious backlog in permits. This inability to issue permits in a timely manner stalls development and frustrates water users. This bill also clearly authorizes the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to allow a streamlined approval process for temporary water uses as another way to optimize program efficiency. Funding for implementation of the Alaska Water Use Act, commonly known as the water rights program, has seen a more than 50% reduction in funding over the past 10 years, leading to two- thirds reduction in staff. The remaining four staff positions can no longer carry out the requirements of the Act. This legislation is part of a three-part solution to provide adequate funding and staffing for the water rights program. First, DNR is promulgating regulations that make implementation of the program less costly. Second, the FY 2002 budget includes a $300,000 budget increment to fund the program adequately. This proposed legislation provides the third part of the solution: a water use fee. Under this bill, the natural resources commissioner would establish a sliding fee for water use based on the quantity intended for use. That money would be separately accounted for within the general fund and available for appropriation to program operation. The bill affirms DNR's authority to allow temporary water uses for construction, development, commercial and private activities in cases where a long-term water right is not appropriate or necessary. The department has been authorizing these temporary uses for several years and many industries, such as oil development and road 2001-03-13 Senate Journal Page 0640 construction, find them crucial to their ability to proceed with their projects in a timely manner. Losing this program option would needlessly exacerbate the current backlog in water permits. The bill confirms that the temporary water use authorizations are revocable and do not create a property right. Because of the revocable nature and finite duration of these authorizations, DNR would not be required to provide prior public notice or conduct an administrative review under the criteria applicable to permits for water rights. However, the commissioner will continue to provide notice to the Alaska Departments of Fish and Game and Environmental Conservation and be authorized to impose reasonable conditions or limitations on these temporary uses. Finally, a transitional provision of the bill would provide that temporary water use permits issued before the effective date of the bill may not be invalidated on the grounds that DNR did not provide public notice under AS 46.15.133 or review a permit application under the criteria set out in AS 46.15.080. A recent decision by the superior court in Greenpeace, Inc. v. Alaska Department of Natural Resources, concluded that DNR should have provided public notice of a temporary water use permit application and conducted a detailed review of the application before issuing the permit. This decision could cause serious delays in development projects and DNR's water use processing. In the interest of promoting efficiency for project development across the state, I urge your prompt and favorable consideration of this measure. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor 2001-03-13 Senate Journal Page 0641 SB 140 SENATE BILL NO. 140 BY SENATORS TORGERSON, Taylor, Austerman, Cowdery, entitled: "An Act relating to regulation and licensing of certain water-power development projects." was read the first time and referred to the Resources and Finance Committees.
