We thank You that as the great sovereign God, the creator of the universe, You still desire us to communicate with You and lift our requests before You. 2005-01-28 House Journal Page 0180 Thank You that we can enjoy the freedom that our forefathers secured for us - freedom of worship, freedom in terms of our political process. I pray for our troops who are trying to implement and protect the process of open elections in Iraq. With increased pressure against them, they especially need Your protection at this time. Help the families of those killed in the downed helicopter to be comforted and strengthened in this time of loss. I also pray specifically that You would bless the representatives gathered here today. Help each of them to exercise justice and fairness in all they say and do. Give them guidance, direction, and wisdom in any decisions to be made. Protect their families as they serve our state away from home during these legislative sessions. And now, "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer." In the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ I lift this prayer today. Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Neuman.

INTRODUCTION, FIRST READING, AND REFERENCE OF HOUSE BILLS HB 116 HOUSE BILL NO. 116 by Representative Meyer, entitled: "An Act relating to the liability of certain persons for entry and remaining on licensed premises." was read the first time and referred to the State Affairs and Judiciary Committees. 2005-01-28 House Journal Page 0184 HB 117 HOUSE BILL NO. 117 by the House Rules Committee by request of the Governor, entitled: "An Act relating to the liability of the state and municipalities for attorney fees in certain civil actions and appeals; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Community & Regional Affairs and Judiciary Committees. The following fiscal note(s) apply: 1. Zero, Dept. of Administration 2. Zero, Dept. of Law The Governor's transmittal letter dated January 27, 2005, follows: "Dear Speaker Harris: Under the authority of art. III, sec. 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a bill to, as a matter of sovereign immunity, limit the award of attorney's fees against the state and municipalities. Since territorial days, Alaska has had a statutory policy of requiring the losing party in most litigation to pay a portion of the prevailing party's attorney fees. In recent years, this policy has been embodied primarily in Alaska Rule of Civil Procedure 82, which the Alaska Supreme Court adopted in response to a legislative delegation, made immediately following statehood, in AS 09.60.010. In most cases, the prevailing party receives a partial fee award, equal to no more than 20 percent of a money judgment or 20 percent of actual fees in a non- monetary case. In cases brought against state or local governments, departures from the general rule of partial fee reimbursement have occurred with some regularity, with the governmental party required to reimburse all of the prevailing party's fees. Ordinarily, the basis for these enhanced fee awards has been the judicially created public interest litigant policy, wherein selected litigants bringing suits to advance ends deemed by the court to reflect strong public policies are granted full fees as a 2005-01-28 House Journal Page 0185 subsidy from the state treasury. The cost of this subsidy has been significant to the state in all recent fiscal years and, on a more irregular basis, has been significant to the municipalities targeted by such lawsuits. There are instances where a Legislative policy sufficiently supports full attorney fee awards and the legislature has chosen to provide for them by statute. Full reimbursement is also important for eminent domain proceedings. Beyond these contexts, the Legislature has not identified a policy that would support a direct public subsidy to private litigants that goes beyond the traditional norm of partial fee awards. To ensure that public money is not disbursed as a subsidy to these litigants without an appropriate legislative authorization, this bill would provide, as a matter of sovereign immunity, that the state or a municipality would not be liable for an attorney fee award in excess of certain percentages of a money judgment or, if a money judgment is not recovered, certain percentages of the reasonable actual attorney fees the prevailing party incurred in litigating the issues upon which the party prevailed. This would prevent enhanced fee awards against the state or municipalities that are not authorized by statute, but leave those governments open to the standard partial fee awards called for in the Civil Rule 82 fee schedule. Section 1 of the bill describes the purposes of the Legislation. It notes the fiscal impact of enhanced fee awards, and specifically relies on the legislature's constitutional authorities in regulating this area. Section 1 states clearly that this bill, if enacted into law, would neither preclude nor repeal specific statutes authorizing the award of costs or fees in particular situations. Section 2 of the bill would create a new provision in the chapter of AS 09 devoted to immunities. It provides that for civil actions or appeals in which a money judgment is recovered, the state and municipalities are not liable to pay more than 20 percent of the money judgment. In civil actions in which no money judgment is recovered, the liability of the state and municipalities for attorney fees for cases that go to trial is capped at 30 percent of the reasonable actual attorney fees that were necessarily incurred in litigating issues on which the party prevailed, and 20 percent for cases that do not go to trial. For appeals in which no money judgment is recovered, the liability of the 2005-01-28 House Journal Page 0186 state and municipalities for attorney fees is capped at 20 percent of reasonable actual attorney fees that were necessarily incurred in litigating issues on which the party prevailed. These limits on liability are very similar to the limits that courts have found for years to represent fair partial compensation to a prevailing party. These limitations do not apply if the statutes provide differently, if the courts determine it is appropriate to award attorney fees as a sanction for misconduct by a party or the party's counsel, or in cases involving the condemnation of property under the power of eminent domain. Section 3 of the bill would make the bill, if enacted into law, applicable only to civil actions or appeals initiated after it takes effect. I urge your prompt consideration and passage of this bill. Sincerely yours, /s/ Frank H. Murkowski Governor" HB 118 HOUSE BILL NO. 118 by Representatives Ramras and Samuels, entitled: "An Act relating to an address confidentiality program for victims of stalking, domestic violence, or sexual assault." was read the first time and referred to the State Affairs and Judiciary Committees. HB 119 HOUSE BILL NO. 119 by the House Community & Regional Affairs Committee, entitled: "An Act extending the termination date of the Alaska regional economic assistance program; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Community & Regional Affairs and Finance Committees. 2005-01-28 House Journal Page 0187 CONSIDERATION OF THE DAILY CALENDAR SECOND READING OF HOUSE RESOLUTIONS HJR 4 The following was read the second time: HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 4 Urging the United States Congress to pass legislation to open the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska, to oil and gas exploration, development, and production. with the: Journal Page O&G RPT CS(O&G) 5DP 115 FN1: ZERO(DNR) 116 RES RPT CS(RES) 6DP 182 FN1: ZERO(DNR) 183 Representative Foster moved and asked unanimous consent that the following committee substitute be adopted in lieu of the original resolution: CS FOR HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 4(RES) (same title) There being no objection, it was so ordered.

Page 2, line 22, insert: "WHEREAS it has been estimated that construction of an Alaska Gas Pipeline is expected to generate between 4,000 and 8,600 jobs; that it is expected there will not be enough available Alaskan workers to fill these new positions and non-Alaska labor will be utilized for positions Alaskans are not available to fill; and, that it has been estimated by consulting groups promoting oil development in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge that oil development in this Refuge will create in excess of 20,000 additional jobs in this state; and 2005-01-28 House Journal Page 0189 WHEREAS according to reliable estimates there are not enough available Alaskan workers to staff both the construction of an Alaska Gas Pipeline, and oil development in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge if both projects occur at the same time; and" Representative Gara moved and asked unanimous consent that Amendment No. 1 be adopted.
