The massive quake claimed the lives of over 3,000 people, has left over 6,500 injured, and has leveled countless numbers of homes, schools, buildings, and temples. Today I ask you to stand with me in solidarity with the Nepalese people, and pray for their safety, well being, and quick recovery in their rescue efforts. In deepest respect for the religious beliefs of all Alaskans, I offer the following prayer. Bodhisattva Prayer for Humanity May I be a guard for those who need protection A guide for those on the path 2015-04-27 House Journal Page 1128 A boat, a raft, a bridge for those who wish to cross the flood May I be a lamp in the darkness A resting place for the weary A healing medicine for all who are sick A vase of plenty, a tree of miracles And for the boundless multitudes of living beings May I bring sustenance and awakening Enduring like the earth and sky Until all beings are freed from sorrow And all are awakened. By Shantideva, Indian Buddhist sage, 700 A.D. Prayer performed each morning by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Guttenberg. CERTIFICATION OF THE JOURNAL Representative Millett moved and asked unanimous consent that the journal for the 94th, 95th, 96th, and 97th legislative days be approved as certified by the Chief Clerk. There being no objection, it was so ordered. MESSAGES FROM THE GOVERNOR SB 64 The following letter dated April 24, 2015, 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: CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 64(EDC)(efd fld H) "An Act relating to school bond debt reimbursement." Chapter No. 3, SLA 2015 [Effective Date: See Chapter] 2015-04-27 House Journal Page 1129 Under current law, a municipality is eligible for school construction bond debt reimbursement at varying percentages, depending in part on the date of the election authorizing the bonds. The bill would place a five-year moratorium on the state's obligation to reimburse school construction debt payments for elections that take place after January 1, 2015, but before July 1, 2020. The bill version that passed the Senate had two effective date provisions. One would have made the bill effective immediately upon becoming law (AS 01.10.070(c)); the other would have made the section reinstating a modified school debt construction reimbursement program effective July 1, 2020. In addition, some sections of the bill were to be retroactive to January 1, 2015. Like most legislation, the bill was not without controversy during the legislative process. Some objected to a moratorium on the State's partial school construction debt reimbursement in light of the long- standing nature of state assistance with school construction costs, even in times of budget shortfalls. But I understand that our current budget situation requires the State to take actions it may not have in the past. Additionally, some legislators objected to the proposed retroactive application to January 1, 2015. Although the bill passed the House of Representatives on April 2, 2015; the alternate effective date clauses- including the immediate effective date provision-did not receive the constitutionally required two-thirds vote. House Journal, April 2, 2015, page 0684. The Department of Law has advised me that the bill will still have retroactive application despite the failure of the effective date provisions, since an effective date clause operates independently of the date of retroactive application. The failure of the effective date clause does not change the date of retroactive application. Whether the bill takes effect immediately or 90 days after signature by the Governor, the date of retroactive application remains the same. See, Arco Alaska v. State, 824 P.2d 709, 711 (Alaska 1992). Yet news reports lead me to believe some members of the public thought the failure of the immediate effective date also meant failure of the provision on retroactive application. Confusion is understandable. So while the bill is legally sound, and even though I 2015-04-27 House Journal Page 1130 support efforts to reduce our State's budget, including debt service, I would prefer that this have been done in a manner more understandable for Alaskans. For these reasons, I have not signed CSSB 64(EDC)(efd fld H) and have allowed it to become law without my signature. Sincerely, /s/ Bill Walker Governor" The Speaker stated that, without objection, the House would recess to a Call of the Chair; and so, the House recessed at 11:09 a.m. AFTER RECESS The Speaker called the House back to order at 1:06 p.m. **The presence of Representative Pruitt was noted.
