My purpose in introducing changes to the licensing requirements is to prevent the licensure of a fisheries business that has demonstrated that it is, and remains, unwilling to pay its taxes, ASMI assessments, employment security contributions, or OSHA fines. My purpose in introducing changes to the bonding requirements is to expedite the collection of unpaid unemployment insurance contributions by the DLWD and to make the bonding amount more representative of the risk of nonpayment posed to fishermen and employees who work for these bonded fish processors and buyers. I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure. Sincerely yours, /s/ Frank H. Murkowski Governor SB 125 SENATE BILL NO. 125 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: "An Act relating to the licensing, regulation, enforcement, and appeal rights of ambulatory surgical centers, assisted living homes, child care facilities, child placement agencies, foster homes, free-standing birth centers, home health agencies, hospices or agencies providing hospice services, hospitals, intermediate care facilities for the mentally retarded, maternity homes, nursing facilities, residential child care facilities, residential psychiatric treatment centers, and rural health clinics; relating to criminal history requirements, and a registry, regarding certain licenses, certifications, approvals, and authorizations by the Department of Health and Social Services; making conforming amendments; and providing for an effective date."
