This House is also a sacred place where the people of Alaska can go and ask for help from their representatives in life's challenges as well as joys.

Thank you for their service. 2017-04-07 House Journal Page 0880 Father, I also pray for their families, that your presence would fill their homes and that they would experience your goodness.

The following fiscal note(s) apply: 1. Zero, Dept. of Corrections 2. Zero, Dept. of Health & Social Services 3. Zero, Dept. of Labor & Workforce Development 4. Zero, Dept. of Public Safety 5. Fiscal, Dept. of Revenue The Governor's transmittal letter dated April 6 follows: "Dear Speaker Edgmon: Under the authority of Article III, Section 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a bill relating to personnel and procurement procedures, including national criminal history record checks, for State employees and contractors accessing certain federal tax information. The bill would establish procedures to safeguard the confidentiality of certain federal tax information in the manner required by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) security and safeguarding requirements in 26 U.S.C. 6103(p)(4)(C) and Publication 1075 (published by the Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service and updated September 30, 2016). The IRS requirements apply to State and local agencies that obtain certain federal tax information directly from the IRS, an IRS authorized secondary source such as the Social Security Administration, the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement, the Bureau of Fiscal Service, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or another entity acting on behalf of the IRS pursuant to an agreement under 26 U.S.C. 6103(p)(2)(B). The recently updated IRS security guidelines in Publication 1075 require: 2017-04-07 House Journal Page 0896 · All State employees and contractors with access to certain federal tax information must undergo fingerprinting and a national criminal history record check conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). · Agencies must develop a written policy that requires employees and contractors with access to certain federal tax information to complete a background investigation. The policy must include criteria to define qualifications to access federal tax information. · The background investigation for each employee or contractor must be done every ten years. · The background investigation also must include a check of local law enforcement agency records for the past five years and validation of the employee's eligibility to legally work in the United States. Legislation is necessary to require fingerprinting and an FBI national criminal history record check. Under Public Law 92-544, the FBI can conduct a national criminal history record check for a noncriminal justice purpose if required by a federal law or if a state has enacted a statute requiring this record check. Some State agencies already receive information directly from the IRS, or an IRS-authorized source, and this continued access is vital. The Department of Revenue, Child Support Services Division (CSSD), uses federal tax information to collect child support payments from noncustodial parents. In FY16, CSSD collected over $8.6 million in past due child support through the federal tax refund offset program. CSSD paid these garnished funds to the custodial parent or to the State for reimbursement of Temporary Aid to Needy Families benefits provided to the custodial parent. Continued access to federal tax information is critical to CSSD's efforts to collect child support for Alaskan families. The Department of Revenue uses federal tax information to ensure compliance for corporate income tax, motor fuel tax, and mining tax. It provides an auditing tool that can confirm that the correct amount of tax is paid to the State. The loss of federal tax information could impede audits and possibly allow businesses to escape paying the full amount of taxes due. 2017-04-07 House Journal Page 0897 The Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOLWD) Unemployment Insurance program is required by federal law to use the treasury offset program to recover certain unemployment compensation or risk loss of federal funding - over $22 million. AS 23.20.486 authorizes DOLWD to participate in the federal offset program, which includes confidential tax information subject to the safeguard requirements. DOLWD is currently working on programming and testing and expects to begin participation in the program in the spring of 2017. The Alaska unemployment compensation program estimates it will collect an estimated $300,000 to $400,000 annually through the offset program. To ensure continued access to federal tax information, the bill creates a new chapter in AS 39 for establishing State personnel procedures for State employees who access certain federal tax information. The bill also creates a new section in AS 30.36, establishing similar procedures for State contractors who access certain federal tax information. Those procedures include fingerprinting and an FBI national criminal history record check. Last, the bill amends AS 12.62.400 by adding a new subsection authorizing the Department of Public Safety to submit the fingerprints to the FBI and obtain a national criminal history record check. I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure. Sincerely, /s/ Bill Walker Governor" CONSIDERATION OF THE DAILY CALENDAR SECOND READING OF HOUSE BILLS HB 31 The following was read the second time: HOUSE BILL NO. 31 "An Act requiring the Department of Public Safety to develop a tracking system and collection and processing protocol for sexual 2017-04-07 House Journal Page 0898 assault examination kits; requiring law enforcement agencies to send sexual assault examination kits for testing within 18 months after collection; requiring an inventory and reports on untested sexual assault examination kits; and providing for an effective date." with the: Journal Page STA RPT 4DP 205 FN1: (DPS) 206 FIN RPT CS(FIN) NT 8DP 2NR 846 FN2: ZERO(DPS) 847 Representative Tuck moved and asked unanimous consent that the following committee substitute be adopted in lieu of the original bill: CS FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 31(FIN) "An Act relating to law enforcement training in domestic violence and sexual assault; relating to sexual assault investigation protocols; requiring an inventory and reports on untested sexual assault examination kits; and providing for an effective date."
