Messages from the House Message dated January 21 was read stating the House has confirmed the following members to the Select Committee on Legislative Ethics: Representative Gatto Representative Tuck Representative Johnson (alternate) Representative Gardner (alternate) 2011-01-24 Senate Journal Page 0077 Introduction and Reference of Senate Bills SB 61 SENATE BILL NO. 61 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL, entitled: "An Act making corrective amendments to the Alaska Statutes as recommended by the revisor of statutes; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the State Affairs and Judiciary Committees. SB 62 SENATE BILL NO. 62 BY SENATOR MCGUIRE, entitled: "An Act allowing appropriations to the civil legal services fund from court filing fees." was read the first time and referred to the Judiciary and Finance Committees. SB 63 SENATE BILL NO. 63 BY SENATOR MCGUIRE, entitled: "An Act establishing a renewable energy refundable tax credit." was read the first time and referred to the Resources and Finance Committees. SB 64 SENATE BILL NO. 64 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: "An Act relating to a tax credit for corporate income taxes paid for qualified research and development expenditures; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Labor and Commerce and Finance Committees. 2011-01-24 Senate Journal Page 0078 The following fiscal information was published today: Fiscal Note No. 1, indeterminate, Department of Revenue Governor's transmittal letter dated January 21: Dear President Stevens: Under the authority of Article III, Section 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a bill establishing a tax credit against Alaska income taxes for qualified research and development conducted by corporate taxpayers. Innovation can be an expensive, intricate, and time-intensive enterprise. However, it also can spark a chain of investments in capital equipment, workers, and spillover activities into multiple economic sectors. In effect, the research and development tax credit would stimulate private-sector investment, entrepreneurial activity, and business expansion in Alaska that will bring opportunity and sustainable long-term benefits to our economy. The credit would be 20 percent of qualified research and development expenditures that exceed the average qualified research and development expenditures as defined in 26 U.S.C 41(d) (Internal Revenue Code) for the three years immediately preceding the year in which the credit is claimed. Unused credits may be carried forward for up to seven years after the expenditure for which the credit is claimed. The bill also would impose a reporting requirement so that the Legislature and the public are aware of the fiscal impact and economic benefits of the research and development credit to the state. The credit would induce corporations to conduct independent research in Alaska. For this reason and others, the credit is supported by the Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development Advisory Council, which has been directed to identify means to induce investment and help increase the viability of business. Other supporters of the tax credit include Alaska businesses and chambers of commerce, as well as municipalities and economic development councils. This initiative also parallels efforts by the Anchorage Economic Development Corporation to establish relationships with corporations looking to relocate to favorable locations in Alaska. 2011-01-24 Senate Journal Page 0079 I urge your prompt and favorable action on this matter. Sincerely, /s/ Sean Parnell Governor SB 65 SENATE BILL NO. 65 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: "An Act relating to the procurement of supplies, services, professional services, and construction for the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority; relating to the definition of 'own' for the economic development account; relating to the definitions of 'development project', 'plant', 'facility', and 'project' for the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Labor and Commerce and Finance Committees. The following fiscal information was published today: Fiscal Note No. 1, zero, Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development Governor's transmittal letter dated January 21: Dear President Stevens: Under the authority of Article III, Section 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a bill to provide the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA) with more flexibility to encourage greater investment and Alaska resource development. This bill would amend AS 44.88.172(a) to enable AIDEA to invest directly in a corporation or limited liability company which holds a development project as its sole asset. Under its strategic plan, AIDEA works to encourage other investors to join in financing development 2011-01-24 Senate Journal Page 0080 projects, and to do so, must establish working relationships with those other investors. The proposed legislation will accomplish that goal by providing greater flexibility in how AIDEA and other investors may jointly invest in development projects. This bill would expand the types of development projects for which AIDEA may own and operate. Under existing law, development projects are basically limited to projects related to making, processing, or transporting goods or products; developing or transporting natural resources; generating or transmitting energy; and infrastructure for tourism destination facilities. This bill would expand the definition of "project" to include projects which enhance or promote economic development. The project must also be associated with transportation, communications, community public purposes, technical innovations, prototype commercial applications of intellectual property, or research. Second, the definition of "project" would expand to include federal facilities, including a United States military, National Guard, or Coast Guard facility, and would also clarify that a component of a project may be a road. In addition, this bill amends the procurement code (AS 36.30.015(f)) to empower AIDEA to adopt regulations to govern AIDEA's procurement of supplies, services, professional services, and construction. I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure. Sincerely, /s/ Sean Parnell Governor SB 66 SENATE BILL NO. 66 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: "An Act creating a new markets tax credit assistance guarantee and loan program within the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority; and providing for an effective date." 2011-01-24 Senate Journal Page 0081 was read the first time and referred to the Labor and Commerce and Finance Committees. The following fiscal information was published today: Fiscal Note No. 1, zero, Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development Governor's transmittal letter dated January 21: Dear President Stevens: Under the authority of Article III, Section 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a bill creating a new markets tax credit assistance guarantee and loan program within the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA). This legislation will enable AIDEA to foster more economic development in Alaska, especially in areas with great need for new investment. Under this legislation, AIDEA could issue guarantees and make loans to help finance projects funded through a federal new markets tax credit program. This federal program offers a competitive process by which federal new markets tax credits are allocated to support the nationwide financing of projects located in low income areas or otherwise serving low income populations. The federal program arises under Section 45D of the Internal Revenue Code, and provides for the allocation of new markets tax credits equal to 39 percent of total qualifying investments, payable over seven years. The tax credits provide a present value investment return of approximately 30 percent of the amount of the qualifying investment, and can substantially reduce the financing costs for a project. Investments made under the federal new markets tax credit program generally would fund only a portion of total project costs. The balance of the funding must come from other loans or financing. There is a scarcity of capital available and this legislation would enable AIDEA to issue guarantees and make loans to assist in funding amounts not covered by investments made under the federal program. The proposed legislation requires AIDEA to evaluate the commercial reasonableness of the underlying loan AIDEA would guarantee to determine that the project will promote economic development and requires the financial institution to service the guaranteed loan. 2011-01-24 Senate Journal Page 0082 I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure. Sincerely, /s/ Sean Parnell Governor SB 67 SENATE BILL NO. 67 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: "An Act establishing the commercial charter fisheries revolving loan fund, the mariculture revolving loan fund, and the Alaska microloan revolving loan fund and relating to those funds and loans from those funds; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Labor and Commerce and Finance Committees. The following fiscal information was published today: Fiscal Note No. 1, Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development Governor's transmittal letter dated January 21: Dear President Stevens: Under the authority of Article III, Section 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a bill establishing the Alaska microloan revolving loan fund, the mariculture revolving loan fund, and the commercial charter fisheries revolving loan fund, and relating to those funds. This bill would create the Alaska microloan revolving loan fund, the mariculture revolving loan fund, and the commercial charter fisheries revolving loan fund, within the Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development. Structured as revolving 2011-01-24 Senate Journal Page 0083 loan funds, all earnings and loan payments would be retained by the funds for future loans. All operating expenses would also be paid from earnings of the fund. This legislation will promote economic development in Alaska by helping small businesses access critical capital. The Alaska Microloans are modeled after a program currently operated through the federal Small Business Administration (SBA) and available in almost every other state to provide small, short term loans to small businesses. This federal program, however, is currently unavailable in Alaska because an intermediary lender is required. To date no lenders meeting the SBA's qualifications have been identified in Alaska. A critical sector of Alaska's coastal economy is mariculture. Currently, access to start-up capital by Alaska's mariculturists is extremely limited because of the time needed for crop development and market readiness. Due to the unique cash flow characteristics inherent in the industry, access to capital with flexible terms is essential. This legislation will promote economic development, allow the industry to expand, and successfully compete in world seafood markets. On January 5, 2010, the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council published a final rule implementing a halibut charter fisheries limited entry program. Based on past fishing history, it is expected that 40 percent of those applying for the permit, will be denied under NOAA's restrictions, escalating permit prices. In an effort to make financing available to Alaskans for the purchase of halibut charter permits, a new loan fund has been developed that is similar to the highly successful commercial fishing revolving loan fund (AS 16.10.340). This will ensure those valuable permits remain in Alaskans' hands. I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure.
