INTRODUCTION, FIRST READING, AND REFERENCE OF HOUSE BILLS HB 124 HOUSE BILL NO. 124 by Representative Kito, entitled: "An Act relating to corporations, including benefit corporations, and other entities; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Labor & Commerce and Finance Committees.

HB 128 HOUSE BILL NO. 128 by Representative Ortiz, entitled: "An Act relating to management of enhanced stocks of shellfish; authorizing certain nonprofit organizations to engage in shellfish enhancement projects; relating to application fees for salmon hatchery permits; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the House Special Committee on Fisheries and the Finance Committee. HB 129 HOUSE BILL NO. 129 by the House Rules Committee by request of the Governor, entitled: "An Act relating to sport fishing, hunting, or trapping licenses, tags, or permits; relating to penalties for certain sport fishing, 2017-02-15 House Journal Page 0264 hunting, and trapping license violations; relating to restrictions on the issuance of sport fishing, hunting, and trapping licenses; creating violations and amending fines and restitution for certain fish and game offenses; creating an exemption from payment of restitution for certain unlawful takings of big game animals; relating to commercial fishing violations; allowing lost federal matching funds from the Pittman - Robertson, Dingell - Johnson/Wallop - Breaux programs to be included in an order of restitution; adding a definition of 'electronic form'; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Resources and Judiciary Committees. The following fiscal note(s) apply: 1. Zero, Dept. of Fish & Game 2. Zero, Dept. of Public Safety The Governor's transmittal letter dated February 14 follows: "Dear Speaker Edgmon: Under the authority of Article III, Section 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a bill relating to penalties for certain sport fishing, hunting, and trapping license violations; relating to restrictions on the issuance of sport fishing, hunting, and trapping licenses; creating violations and amending fines and restitution for certain fish and game offenses; creating an exemption from payment of restitution for certain unlawful takings of big game animals; relating to commercial fishing violations; allowing lost federal matching funds from the Pittman - Robertson, Dingell - Johnson/Wallop - Breaux programs to be included in an order of restitution; and adding a definition of 'electronic form.' The bill would allow a person to correct a citation for not having a sport fishing, hunting, or trapping license, tag, or permit on their person, by bringing a copy of the license, tag, or permit that was valid at the time of the citation to the office of the citing officer or to court. There are many reasons why a person may not have a fishing, hunting, 2017-02-15 House Journal Page 0265 or trapping license on their person in the field. This provision would prevent what may have been an honest mistake from turning into an unnecessary conviction. In addition, the bill would allow a person to show actual possession of a license or permit in paper or electronic form. Electronic form would mean the display of a license or permit on an electronic device, such as a mobile telephone, tablet, or computer. However, tags are not conducive to display in electronic format, and therefore are excluded from this provision. In order to better manage issuance of a fishing, hunting, or trapping license, if a person has had their fishing, hunting, or trapping privileges revoked or suspended in this or any other state, this bill would prohibit them from obtaining a fishing, hunting, or trapping license in Alaska. A person should not be able to avoid sanctions merely by obtaining another license. The bill also gives greater discretion to prosecutors and law enforcement by allowing almost all fish and game offenses to be charged as violations rather than criminal offenses. Currently, if a person violates certain fish and game laws, they can only be charged with a criminal offense. A criminal conviction is not always appropriate, nor is it necessarily the best outcome for the State or the offender. By creating the option of a violation where the offender acts without any culpable mental state, prosecutors and law enforcement can more appropriately enforce the State's fish and game laws while maximizing public use and enjoyment. One of the ways Alaska manages its fish and game resources is through the sale of hunting and fishing licenses. The sale of licenses helps track the harvest of resources and sustains important conservation and management programs. Under the Pittman - Robertson, Dingell - Johnson/Wallop - Breaux programs, the State receives significant federal funding for fish and game management activities that is matched at a 3:1 ratio using license revenue. When a person fails to obtain a license, the State loses an important funding source used to manage fish and game resources. The bill would allow the State to collect restitution when a person fails to obtain a lawful hunting or fishing license, including lost federal funds. 2017-02-15 House Journal Page 0266 The bill also increases the strict liability fine limits on commercial fishing violations as well as restitution amounts for unlawfully taking an animal. The increased fines and restitution amounts are necessary to ensure that more people can use and enjoy the resource by deterring illegal fishing and hunting that harms other users. Protecting the proper use of Alaska's resources is one of our most important responsibilities. I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure. Sincerely, /s/ Bill Walker Governor" HB 130 HOUSE BILL NO. 130 by the House Rules Committee by request of the Governor, entitled: "An Act relating to the Izembek State Game Refuge, Cape Newenham State Game Refuge, Palmer Hay Flats State Game Refuge, Port Moller Critical Habitat Area, Egegik Critical Habitat Area, Pilot Point Critical Habitat Area, Fox River Flats Critical Habitat Area, Kachemak Bay Critical Habitat Area, and Dude Creek Critical Habitat Area; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Resources Committee. The following fiscal note(s) apply: 1. Zero, Dept. of Fish & Game 2. Zero, Dept. of Fish & Game The Governor's transmittal letter dated February 14 follows: "Dear Speaker Edgmon: Under the authority of Article III, Section 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a bill relating to certain State game 2017-02-15 House Journal Page 0267 refuges and critical habitat areas (collectively called special areas), namely Izembek State Game Refuge, Cape Newenham State Game Refuge, Palmer Hay Flats State Game Refuge, Port Moller Critical Habitat Area, Egegik Critical Habitat Area, Pilot Point Critical Habitat Area, Fox River Flats Critical Habitat Area, Kachemak Bay Critical Habitat Area, and Dude Creek Critical Habitat Area. The bill would correct technical errors or minor omissions in the legal boundary descriptions of eight legislatively-designated special areas and would incorporate parcels of land adjacent into another critical habitat area. Egegik, Pilot Point, and Port Moller Critical Habitat Areas have either typographical errors in the original legal descriptions from the 1970s, or were described from a map with a typographical error. The bill would shift the boundaries to correct these errors with no net change in acreage. Izembek State Game Refuge, Cape Newenham State Game Refuge, and Fox River Flats Critical Habitat Area have small tideland areas within their larger boundaries that were likely excluded from the original legal description due to the mapping of shorelines at the time the areas were created. The bill would incorporate omitted areas by adding 778 acres to the Izembek State Game Refuge, 415 acres to the Cape Newenham State Game Refuge, and 285 acres to the Fox River Flats Critical Habitat Area. Palmer Hay Flats State Game Refuge has small portions of abandoned and current stream channels that were initially excluded from the refuge due to platted descriptions of streambanks. By adding these lands, the bill would add 398 acres to the Refuge. Kachemak Bay Critical Habitat Area has a small portion of tidelands that appears to have been inadvertently excluded from the statutory description. The bill would incorporate 230 acres of tidelands into the critical habitat area. Through the aforementioned amendments, the bill would: (1) correct errors and properly describe areas intended for habitat protection; (2) eliminate the confusing patchwork of land status within these refuges and critical habitat areas; (3) create contiguous, inclusive boundaries that better reflect the original legislative intent of the designations; 2017-02-15 House Journal Page 0268 (4) remove lands inadvertently included in critical habitat areas that were not appropriate for habitat protections, and eliminate permitting requirements for such lands; and (5) clarify management and enforcement of the applicable statutes and regulations governing the subject special areas. In addition, the bill would add several tracts of wetlands, consisting of approximately 1,439 acres, to the Dude Creek Critical Habitat Area. These tracts of lands are located adjacent to the current boundaries of the Dude Creek Critical Habitat Area and were acquired by The Nature Conservancy in 2004 from the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's National Coastal Wetland Conservation Grant Program and then donated to the State of Alaska specifically for the purpose of becoming part of the Critical Habitat Area. After acquiring title for these parcels in 2004, the Alaska Department of Natural Resources issued full management authority to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) to manage the lands consistent with the conservation purposes for which the State acquired the property and with the policies of the Dude Creek Critical Habitat Area. The bill would give ADF&G the authority to effectively regulate these parcels and would be the final step in this cooperative process between State, local, and federal agencies. I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure. Sincerely, /s/ Bill Walker Governor" HB 131 HOUSE BILL NO. 131 by the House Transportation Committee, entitled: "An Act relating to relocation assistance for federally assisted public construction and improvement projects and programs; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Transportation and Finance Committees. 2017-02-15 House Journal Page 0269 HB 132 HOUSE BILL NO. 132 by Representative Wool, entitled: "An Act relating to transportation network companies and transportation network company drivers." was read the first time and referred to the Transportation and Labor & Commerce Committees.
