Senator Pearce was absent. The prayer was offered by the Chaplain, Dr. Paul Beran of the Resurrection Lutheran Church. Senator Hoffman moved and asked unanimous consent that the prayer be spread. Without objection, it was so ordered. Great is Thy faithfulness, Oh God. You give us the awakening Springtime after the long sleep of Winter. You give us the gift of a new uncharted week. You provide us with the responsibilities, opportunities and challenges of this day. We give thanks to You from Whom all blessings flow. Help us to use this day wisely for we will not pass this way again. Save us from the tempting folly to try and please everyone and so accomplish nothing. We confess we scarcely see one step ahead. But You know all things. Even the ending before the beginning. We ask of You: lead us that we might be instruments in Your masterful hands; servants of Your loving will; and leaders fulfilling that responsibility before You and for the people of Alaska. We dare to ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, Who came, not to be served, but to serve. Amen. 2001-04-23 Senate Journal Page 1210 Senator Therriault led the Senate in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Introduction and Reference of Senate Bills SB 199 SENATE BILL NO. 199 BY SENATOR ELLIS, entitled: "An Act establishing a state community service program; establishing by statute the Alaska State Community Service Commission; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Health, Education and Social Services, Judiciary and Finance Committees. SB 200 SENATE BILL NO. 200 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: "An Act relating to the commission of an offense or a juvenile delinquency act involving the victim's race, sex, color, religion, physical or mental disability, sexual orientation, economic disadvantage, ancestry, or national origin; relating to sentencing, informal adjustment, and adjudication for those offenses and acts; relating to a diversity tolerance program for certain juvenile delinquency acts; relating to a civil cause of action for certain acts involving discriminatory harassment; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Health, Education and Social Services, Judiciary and Finance Committees. 2001-04-23 Senate Journal Page 1218 The following fiscal information was published today: Fiscal Note No. 1, indeterminate, Department of Corrections Fiscal Note No. 2, zero, Department of Law Governor's transmittal letter dated April 20: I am transmitting to you today a piece of legislation that I wish were not needed with hopes that some day it will become an unnecessary law on the books. This bill may be called Alaska's Hate Crime Act. It is intended to adequately punish those ignorant offenders who commit crimes based on hatred of another because of who that person is. It is intended to send the clear message that Alaskans condemn this intolerance of diversity. This bill expands the legal protection given to those in our society most vulnerable to attack because of prejudice. Our current law allows for an aggravated sentence in felony cases if the offender was consciously attacking the victim because of that person's race, sex, color, creed, physical or mental disability, ancestry or national origin. This bill: · Includes in the list of aggravators a victim's sexual orientation or economic disadvantage; · Clarifies that the aggravators may apply even if the offender mistakenly perceived the victim to fall into one of the listed attributes; · Imposes mandatory minimum sentences for hate crime misdemeanors; · Prohibits the suspension of imposition of sentences in hate crime cases; · Requires sanctions for juveniles who commit hate crimes including community work service and referral to a diversity tolerance program; · Creates a civil right of action allowing victims to sue their attacker or the parents of a juvenile attacker. This bill cannot solve the problem on its own. Punishing hate crimes will not curb bigotry. We can end the scourge of prejudice only through teaching and sharing with our children the value of cultural diversity and the respect all human beings deserve. 2001-04-23 Senate Journal Page 1219 So with this legislation my administration will be taking further steps to teach tolerance. We will encourage school districts to create standards and guidelines for protecting students from hate crimes. We will train our public safety officers to recognize and adequately address these crimes. And I will create a statewide commission on tolerance that will recommend further actions we Alaskans may take together to build a just society. I encourage the Legislature to stand with me in sending this message of tolerance and respect. I look forward to working together on passage of this legislation and our other efforts to make this Hate Crime Act one that will some day be a forgotten legacy of an intolerant past.
