While the statute requires reporting only on general fund expenditures, information regarding expenditures of Authority receipts is also included in the attached reports. Operating Appropriations For mental health operating program funding, the Agency Summary report compares the FY15 Mental Health Trust Authority operating budget recommendations to the Governor's request and to the appropriations passed by the legislature. Note that, for comparison purposes, Authority recommendations include FY15 salary adjustments and base transactions requested by the Governor. This brings the FY15 total recommendations to $238.9 million (column 1). The Governor requested $232.7 million (column 2), and the legislature appropriated $233.2 million (column 3). As shown in the report, the legislature's budget is $533,400 (0.2 percent) more than the Governor's request. An enclosed Transaction Comparison report shows differences between Authority recommendations and the Governor's request. The "15 MHT Req" in the second column indicates that a transaction recommended by the Authority was not forwarded to the legislature by the Governor and the "15GovAmd+" in the second column indicates that the Governor submitted a transaction (either an increment or a decrement) that was not requested by the Authority. Significant Authority requests not forwarded by the Governor: 2014-09-19 House Journal Page 2859 · $652,900 GF/MH for Area Health Education Centers (University of Alaska/Anchorage Campus) · $600,000 GF/MH for Traumatic/Acquired Brain Injury Case Management Expansion and Life Skills grants (DHSS/Senior Community Based Grants). · $450,000 GF/MH for the Alaska Complex Behavior Collaborative Consultation and Training (DHSS/Services to the Seriously Mentally Ill). The legislature funded this request at $525,000 GF/MH. · $345,000 GF/MH for Nutrition Transportation and Support Services grants (DHSS/ Senior Community Based Grants). The legislature funded this request at $200,000 GF/MH. The following are the Governor's requested Mental Health funding reductions that were not requested by the Authority: · $250,000 GF/MH unspecified decrement (DHSS/Services for Severely Emotionally Disturbed Youth). · $3,239,900 GF/MH decrement to reflect a projected reduction in needed Medicaid funding (DHSS/ Behavioral Health Medicaid Services). The legislature treated the Governor's request as a starting point for budget deliberations. Authority recommendations excluded from the Governor's request were not deliberated. A second Transaction Comparison report shows differences between the Governor's request and the appropriations incorporated in the Mental Health bill. The legislature added funding for the following projects to the Governor's Mental Health Budget request: 1. $525,000 GF/MH for the Alaska Complex Behavior Collaborative Consultation and Training (DHSS/Services to the Seriously Mentally Ill). The MH Trust had requested $450,000 for this purpose. 2. $545,000 ($200,000 GF/MH and $345,000 of UGF) for Nutrition, Transportation, and Support Services grants.

Replaced $521,500 of GF/MH for Residential Treatment Services with Federal Receipts. 2. Replaced $280,000 GF/MH Behavioral Health Grants funding with Federal Receipts. Capital Appropriations The Authority recommended a $16.15 million capital budget. The Governor's request totaled $12.35 million (a decrease of $3.8 million). The enclosed Project Detail report shows the Governor's modifications to the Authority's recommendations. Other than technical funding source adjustments, the legislature approved the Governor's request as submitted. We appreciate the good working relationship between the Authority and the legislature.

Chapter No. 40, SLA 2014 Effective Date: June 19, 2014 2014-09-19 House Journal Page 2916 HB 246 The following letter was dated August 18, 2014, and received August 22, 2014, at 9:45 a.m.: "Dear Speaker Chenault: Due to errors in the legislation that could impair or burden Alaskans' property rights, and under the authority vested in me by Article II, Section 15 of the Alaska Constitution, I have vetoed the following bill: HOUSE BILL NO. 246 am S "An Act adding additional land and water to the Creamer's Field Migratory Waterfowl Refuge; designating the House of Wickersham as the official residence of the lieutenant governor and making the House of Wickersham available for other uses; and relating to per diem claims by the lieutenant governor that are related to the location of the official residence of the lieutenant governor." House Bill 246 originally proposed to incorporate four parcels of State-owned land adjacent to Creamer's Field Migratory Waterfowl to the refuge. Although these parcels have been managed as part of the multi-use refuge for years, legislative action was needed to clarify the management authority of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Unfortunately, after the bill passed, errors were discovered in the legal descriptions of all four parcels. The most troubling is in proposed AS 16.20.039(a)(4), where the property description in the bill refers to "Range 1 East." The Department of Law, after consulting with affected agencies, informs me it should read "Range 1 West," and that the "Range 1 East" land as described in the bill includes private and State property not adjacent to the refuge. Although the Department of Law advises that title to the private property inadvertently described likely will not be clouded since the bill only covers "State-owned land and water," the Department cannot guarantee that outcome. In my view, it would be unjust for a private property owner to awaken, open the newspaper, and discover that his or her property has just been legally described as refuge lands without notice or hearing, due to a mistake. 2014-09-19 House Journal Page 2917 Additionally, that refuge designation or potential burden on the property could show up in a title report should that landowner want to sell their property. Such an outcome only chills private property rights, something no legislator nor I intended with this legislation. I strongly believe that Alaskans should not bear the risk, no matter how small, of any possible title or use encumbrance on their property caused by the incorrect description in the bill. There are two additional areas of concern. The first and most important relates to maintaining access to lands. The legislation contains an exception appearing in AS 16.20.039(a)(7) that should be in AS 16.20.039(a)(6). The exception refers to State land excepted from the refuge as part of a right-of-way. Although the Department of Law advises that this is unlikely to cause actual issues with the right- of-way use, it needs to be corrected to avoid any possible access issues. Last, according to the Department of Law, some extraneous text exists in proposed AS 16.20.039(a)(5)(A). While I agree with the bill's intended purpose of consolidating management of the refuge, I am vetoing this legislation due to the erroneous legal descriptions that can only be corrected by future legislation. The preferable approach is to have accurate legal descriptions to avoid any questions about what State-owned land and water is to be included in the Creamer's Field Migratory Waterfowl Refuge. My Administration would welcome the opportunity to work with the sponsor of HB 246 during the next legislative session to pass legislation that can address this issue in a way that will protect the rights of private property owners - an utmost concern of myself and our Administration.

Chapter No. 15, SLA 2014 Effective Date: See Chapter HB 281 CSHB 281(L&C) am S was due back from the Governor August 30, 2014 (page 2886). The following letter dated August 18, 2014, was received: "Dear Speaker Chenault: Under the authority of Article II, Section 17, of the Alaska Constitution, I have let the following bill become law without signature: 2014-09-19 House Journal Page 2923 CS FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 281(L&C) am S "An Act relating to prescription of drugs by a physician without a physical examination." Chapter No. 115, SLA 2014 [Effective Date: November 28, 2014] HB 281 prohibits the Alaska State Medical Board from sanctioning physicians in Alaska who prescribe certain drugs via telemedicine without requiring Alaskans to obtain an in-person physical examination. The bill contains limitations or sideboards on the practice of telemedicine. One sideboard, for example, prohibits dispensing a controlled substance via telemedicine unless it is done with an appropriate licensed health care provider present with the patient to assist the physician with examination, diagnosis, and treatment. Supporters of the legislation contend it will provide Alaskans with additional access to health care, lower cost health care (saving the cost of office visits), and more individual choice to make health care decisions while maintaining a high standard of care. The legislative history indicates telemedicine affords these benefits to consumers when the lower-level, more mundane prescriptions are accessed via telemedicine. Only a small number of health care providers weighed in on HB 281; the Alaska State Medical Association remained largely neutral on the legislation, but available to assist legislators and staff with questions. Legislators voted in overwhelming numbers to pass HB 281. On the other hand, the Alaska State Medical Board ("the Board") opposed HB 281 because of the Board's concern over changing the practice of medicine, in limited circumstances, so as not to include an in-person examination. As Alaskans, we appreciate and commend all physicians and other health care providers in the state. The work of these dedicated professionals and the State Medical Board assure high practice standards exist in Alaska. I carefully considered the Board's legitimate concerns. First, the Board expressed concern that the standard of care would be diminished without requiring either a prior physician-patient relationship or the presence of a licensed healthcare provider with the 2014-09-19 House Journal Page 2924 patient at the time of the consultation. However, no testimony was provided that significant standard of care levels have been diminished in Alaska or elsewhere by using telemedicine. Indeed, telemedicine is already practiced successfully throughout the state, and telemedicine in Alaska originated with the Tribal Health Programs, thanks in significant part to Alaska's former United States Senator Ted Stevens. Not only was no objective data presented of diminished health care outcomes for consumers due to telemedicine, but data exists tending to show the opposite - that telemedicine offers a useful and potentially 1 cost-effective service. Currently in Alaska, when a patient uses telemedicine to access health services like prescriptions, a licensed health care provider is at each end of the line, one with the patient, and one on the other end of the telecommunication. To address the Board's concern that under HB 281 no health care provider would be physically present with the patient to prescribe lower level prescriptions (those that are not controlled substances), legislators added a provision requiring follow-up care and an agreement that the individual receiving the care consents to have all records of the consultation sent to his or her primary care provider. Second, the Board expressed concern that out-of-state medical providers would be prescribing medications from another state; yet nothing in HB 281 changes the requirement that a physician must be licensed to practice medicine in this state. Furthermore, the Legislature directed that the physician be located in this state, and that, as noted above, the prescribing physician or another licensed health care provider is available to provide follow up care. Taken together, these provisions assure the legislative goal of cost-effective medical care delivered by trained and qualified Alaska physicians. In addition, although it appears nothing in HB 281 would restrict an Alaska physician who travels out-of-state temporarily to be able to treat his or her patients via telemedicine while on travel status, the Board could, by regulation, address this if it feels the need. 1 See, Lori Uscher-Pines and Ateev Mehrotra, Abstract, Analysis Of Teladoc Use Seems To Indicate Expanded Access To Care For Patients Without Prior Connection To A Provider Health Affairs February 2014, Vol 33, no. 2, pp. 258 - 264 2014-09-19 House Journal Page 2925 Third, one person raised concern that this legislation might run afoul of judicial interpretation related to whether a physician's recommendation to a patient, given over the phone, to seek emergency 2 room care amounted to medical malpractice. Marsingill and other cases establish that "a physician has a duty to provide a patient with enough information to allow a reasonable patient to make an informed and intelligent decision concerning whether to proceed with 3 treatment." The cases did not hold that physicians are prohibited from making a diagnosis or providing a prescription over the phone. If the concern is that somehow HB 281 would alter the court's rulings on the standards that apply for informed consent between a physician and patient, the Department of Law notes that HB 281 does not amend AS 09.55.556 on standards related to a health care provider's duty to obtain the informed consent of a patient. During the legislative process and in our subsequent review, the bill's potential public benefits of health care access, affordability, and personal responsibility were rigorously weighed against concerns raised by the Board. Like the overwhelming number of legislators who voted to pass HB 281, I believe Alaskans' interests more heavily tilt to implementing HB 281. I also have a great deal of respect for the Alaska State Medical Board and its concern for losing some ability to require in-office patient examination. For these reasons, HB 281 will become law without my signature, so legislators may be reminded in the years ahead to revisit this issue, assure telemedicine is working properly for Alaskans, and to continue the dialogue between the Alaska State Medical Board, legislators, and the Executive Branch.

Chapter No. 71, SLA 2014 Effective Date: October 8, 2014 2014-09-19 House Journal Page 2943 SB 108 The following letter was dated August 28, 2014, and received August 29, 2014, at 9:34 a.m.: "Dear Speaker Chenault: Under the authority vested in me by Article II, Section 15 of the Alaska Constitution, I have vetoed the following bill: HOUSE CS FOR CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 108(FIN) "An Act relating to the confidentiality of certain records of criminal cases; and providing for an effective date." The provisions in HCS CSSB 108(FIN) attempt to solve a complex issue that requires striking the right balance between open and transparent criminal court proceedings, the rights of crime victims, and the rights of persons who have been accused, but never convicted, of a crime. Unfortunately, the legislation summarily sweeps all such cases under the cloak of confidentiality in an unnecessarily broad manner without respect to likely adverse impacts on the public. In my view, the legislation unnecessarily restricts access to criminal court records which adversely affects the ability of Alaskans to protect themselves and to hold their judicial system accountable. Additionally, the law would be vulnerable to legal challenge. This legislation implicates important constitutional provisions and protections for all concerned, including the victim, the accused, members of the public outside the criminal proceeding, and generations to come who review and rely on historical information left in the public record. For centuries, our country and her states have allowed public access to criminal court documents and proceedings because public confidence in the fairness, trustworthiness, and impartiality of our judicial system depends on the public's ability to observe criminal court proceedings and access the records of those proceedings. Indeed, the United States Supreme Court has concluded that "…a presumption of openness inheres in the very nature of a criminal trial under our system of justice." Richmond Newspapers, Inc. v. Virginia, 448 U.S. 555, 573 (1980). 2014-09-19 House Journal Page 2944 While Richmond Newspapers addressed the issue of whether a trial could be closed to the press and public, something not at issue in this legislation, the Supreme Court's opinion spoke to constitutional interests at stake in HCS CSSB 108(FIN). The First Amendment, in conjunction with the Fourteenth, prohibits governments from abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or of its people to petition the government for a redress of grievances. The First Amendment right to free speech "goes beyond protection of the press and the self-expression of individuals to prohibit government from limiting the stock of information from which members of the public may draw." Id. at 576, citing, First National Bank of Boston v. Bellotti, 435 U.S. 765, 783 (1978). Free speech, the Richmond Newspapers Court held, carries with it some freedom to listen, to receive information and ideas. Id. at 576. The public's right to know what happens in criminal proceedings was not based on some right to satisfy mere personal curiosity, but rather on a person's right to be fully informed so as to protect him or herself or family members from harm, to foster accountability for our judicial branch by the people, and to improve individual decision-making. I think here of the parent who wants to complete his or her due diligence on a potential daycare provider. Just because the prosecutor failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a person should be convicted of a crime related to child abuse, it does not mean that a parent outside the proceeding should be left in the dark about that court process. A parent's standard for who should watch his or her child would likely be considerably different than whether someone had been acquitted of such charges on a "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard. At the very least, the parent should have access to court information so they can pursue a more fully informed choice. The legislation makes case records confidential from public view, but gives access rights to records of criminal proceedings to employees of the Department of Health and Social Services who are responsible for the health, safety, welfare, or placement of a child; a person with a physical or intellectual disability; or a person with a mental illness. Why is it important for a State worker to have access rights to this information to protect a vulnerable person in the State's care, but not for a parent or other family member trying to ensure the safety of a 2014-09-19 House Journal Page 2945 vulnerable person in their household? An argument can be made that the legislation could create more crime victims in our state because it would inhibit the ability of Alaskans to protect themselves or their loved ones via access to complete criminal records. While I do not believe the provisions of this bill clearly violate the victims' rights provisions of the Alaska Constitution, I believe that the other constitutional implications and the rights of victims need to be considered further to address the important interests at stake in this type of legislation. Next, the public's right to know what happened in a criminal proceeding is important for reasons of government accountability. How else would we discover misconduct by a prosecutor or defense counsel or misconduct by a judge in one trial or a series of trials? The public's right to know is also important for historical accuracy and completeness. Where records in the public domain are incomplete, truth and accuracy suffer. Where volumes of court information would be rendered confidential by the legislation, the public is left with only what was printed in press reports of the time, if any. Under the best of circumstances, no one could say those accounts are complete or wholly accurate. More reputational destruction could occur based on incomplete accounts and no member of the public would be able to ever "set the record straight." It has been said that text, out of context, is pretext, and the saying holds true here. An incomplete historical record fosters inaccuracy in the retelling, all at the expense of truth, safety, accountability, and future decision-making. On the other hand, as a society we have already set some limitations on the public's right to know out of concern for individuals. For example, in some cases, the parties' privacy interests outweigh the public's right to view proceedings or records, such as proceedings involving the protection of minor children. These privacy interests and more were thoughtfully set forth by a number of people in legislative hearings on the bill. Lawmakers heard compelling testimony from individuals who had been arrested, but never charged with a crime, or who had been subject to retaliatory, baseless requests for protective orders against 2014-09-19 House Journal Page 2946 them. These individuals' names appear on the Alaska Court System's easily searchable electronic public index (CourtView), adversely 4 affecting their reputation. In many situations, I agree that the privacy interests of a person outweigh the public's need to know of a minor brush with the law, and certainly so when an Alaskan is the subject of a baseless, retaliatory action. It is easy to imagine how someone could simply log on to CourtView and make decisions based on the simple fact that a person was arrested or had a protective order filed against them, regardless of the final outcome. This is especially true where CourtView does not make the disposition of the case known until one drills down several screens into CourtView. A relatively simple solution might be for the Alaska Court System to make the case or charge disposition more readily available on the same screen as the listing of the charge. Unfortunately, the bill before me requires no consideration of the substance of a matter, or of its possible significance, historical or otherwise, to the public at large, in order to remove a record from public view. As one person wrote in opposition to the bill, "This bill takes a meat-axe approach to a problem," by making all criminal records confidential (in the broad categories enumerated) when a more finely targeted or nuanced response would better balance the rights and interests of all Alaskans. During public testimony on the bill, several tragic accounts were related about how people had been stigmatized by an arrest without subsequent charges being brought and by being wrongly charged as an adult when a minor was involved and the charges should not have been on CourtView. To better address some of these concerns, the Alaska Court System recently adopted a more finely-tuned approach via an amended Alaska Court rule that better protects Alaskans' privacy. The newly amended Alaska Court rule provides that names of those who are arrested with the following circumstances will no longer be visible in the electronically searchable CourtView database: · criminal cases dismissed because the prosecuting authority declined to file a charging document; 4 See, House Finance Standing Committee Minutes, April 14, 2014 and letters of support for Senate Bill 108. 2014-09-19 House Journal Page 2947 · criminal cases dismissed for lack of probable cause under Criminal Rule 5(d); · criminal cases dismissed for an identity error under Criminal Rule 43(d); · criminal cases dismissed because the named defendant is a minor wrongly charged in adult court with an offense within the jurisdiction for delinquency proceedings under AS 47.12.020; · minor offense cases dismissed for an identity error under Minor Offense Rule 11(c); · domestic violence protective order cases dismissed at or before the hearing on an ex parte petition because there is not sufficient evidence that the petitioner is a victim of domestic violence as defined by AS 18.66.990(3) or there is not sufficient evidence that the petitioner is a household member as defined by AS 18.66.990(5); and · stalking or sexual assault protective order cases dismissed at or before the hearing on an ex parte petition because there is not sufficient evidence that the petitioner is a victim of stalking as defined by AS 11.41.270 or sexual assault as defined in AS 18.66.990(9). Alaska citizens who find themselves in the circumstances listed above are now better protected. Because of the Alaska Court rule, they will no longer have their names on an easily searchable public database due to a minor brush with the law that resulted in no charges, or where they were the target of baseless requests for a protective order by a disgruntled ex-partner. I remain open to further discussion about whether the balance struck by the Alaska Court rule in tandem with my veto adequately addresses circumstances where privacy interests might outweigh the public's right to know about criminal proceedings. For example, should case records related to an arrest, a charge based on probable cause, and a subsequent prosecutor or court dismissal be available on CourtView (when no lack of probable cause is cited in the record as a reason for dismissal)? Or, should criminal case records involving crimes against people be treated differently than those involving crimes against property with respect to confidentiality in the "not guilty" context? I do not attempt to answer those issues here, but merely to signal to 2014-09-19 House Journal Page 2948 legislators that I am willing to engage in discussing a more targeted approach to confidentiality of criminal case records beyond the new Alaska Court rule, but not so far as HCS CSSB 108(FIN) would take us. Accordingly, although I have vetoed HCS CSSB 108(FIN) because I think it too blunt and sweeping an instrument against the public's right to know, I share that deep concern for individual privacy and maintenance of a person's reputational interest. The sponsor and supporters of HCS CSSB 108(FIN) have made great strides in protecting those interests as demonstrated by implementation of the newly amended Alaska Court rule. Due to this new Alaska Court rule, Alaskans' privacy will be better protected. In addition, I remain open to working with the Legislature, the Court System, and members of the public to develop a more targeted and balanced approach. Sincerely, /s/ Sean Parnell Governor" SB 110 A message dated July 16, 2014, was received stating the Governor signed the following bill and is transmitting the engrossed and enrolled copies to the Lieutenant Governor's office for permanent filing: CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 110(JUD) "An Act relating to the authority of the victims' advocate to request a hearing for the release to a crime victim under certain conditions of certain property in the custody of a law enforcement agency."

IX, sec. 17(c), Constitution of the State of Alaska, from the constitutional budget reserve fund; and providing for an effective date." Chapter No. 18, SLA 2014 [Effective Date: See Chapter] As passed by the Legislature, HCS CSSB 119(FIN) am H contains capital, supplemental, and operating appropriations for Fiscal Year 2014 and Fiscal Year 2015, totaling $2.45 billion, including $888.8 million in unrestricted general funds. This bill represents my continued commitment to Alaska's constitutional priorities including resource development, public safety, education, transportation, and infrastructure. This legislation also approves a transfer of $3 billion from the Constitutional Budget Reserve fund into the State's retirement trust 2014-09-19 House Journal Page 2950 funds. This transfer addresses Alaska's single largest cost driver - our unfunded pension liability - and will significantly reduce our annual operating costs instead of pushing it off to future generations. I am committed to a responsible budget that provides essential public services and makes strategic investments to grow our economy. Leaving a strong, vibrant Alaska for our children and grandchildren requires living within our means and prioritizing spending for Alaskans' future. The capital budget focuses on fixing what we have through deferred maintenance and finishing what we have started. It also provides matching funds to leverage federal and local dollars. The budget contains ongoing investments in energy development, roads to resources, water and sewer projects, and school construction. Working together, we were able to enact a responsible budget and significantly reduce State spending from the current year. In addition, with the increased jobs and economic activity being generated by the More Alaska Production Act, our state will continue to be prosperous and full of opportunity. Thank you for your leadership.
