SB 204 SENATE BILL NO. 204 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: "An Act relating to state lands; relating to the authority of the Department of Natural Resources over state owned lands; relating to the disposal of state land; relating to the leasing and sale of state land for commercial or industrial development; repealing establishment of recreation rivers and recreation river corridors; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Resources and Finance Committees. 2020-02-19 Senate Journal Page 1787 The following fiscal information was published today: Fiscal Note No. 1, Department of Natural Resources Fiscal Note No. 2, indeterminate, Department of Transportation and Public Facilities Governor's transmittal letter dated February18: Dear President Giessel: Under the authority of Article III, Section 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a bill clarifying the State's role in management of state land, removing barriers or obstacles in the state land sales process, allowing for the lease of state lands for economic or industrial development, and repealing statutes that have created land use or management problems for the State. This bill would make land managed by the Department of Natural Resources -- including Mental Health Trust land, parks and recreation areas, refuges, and habitat areas -- subject to the Department of Natural Resources’ platting authority, regardless of where the land is situated. Under current law, plats for subdivisions of state lands for disposal of sale must be approved by a municipality exercising its platting authority. Obtaining this approval delays the platting process and slows state land sales. To make the most of all avenues available to encourage land use for the benefit of the public, this bill includes a new statute for leasing state lands for commercial or industrial development. Under this new statute, the State can lease and sell lands situated within federally designated Qualified Opportunity Zones, or nominated and assessed by the state as appropriate for commercial development. The statute includes a process for requesting proposals from prospective lessees, for accepting bids, and for entering a contract to lease. This statute will allow the lessee to apply to purchase the leased land at any time during the term of the lease if the department determines the lessee has used the land for commercial development consistent with their proposal. 2020-02-19 Senate Journal Page 1788 Further, this bill clarifies the state land sale bidding process by requiring an earnest money deposit, increasing the term of a contract for sale, and granting the state greater discretion as far as when to construct access roads related to state land sales. This bill also repeals the establishment of recreational rivers and corridors. These statutes have created management problems for the State and through this bill we can end those management issues, maintain public use, and allow the State to consider the disposal of some of those state lands. In order to make the best use of our state land for all citizens, I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure. Sincerely, /s/ Mike Dunleavy Governor SB 205 SENATE BILL NO. 205 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: "An Act directing the commissioner of revenue to pay dividends to certain eligible individuals; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Finance Committee. The following fiscal information was published today: Fiscal Note No. 1, Department of Revenue Governor's transmittal letter dated February 18: Dear President Giessel: Under the authority of Article III, Section 18 of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a bill that directs the payment of the unpaid amount of the 2019 Permanent Fund dividend. The payment of 2020-02-19 Senate Journal Page 1789 the unpaid amount will be distributed to eligible individuals in 2020. An individual is eligible to receive the unpaid amount of the 2019 Permanent Fund dividend if the individual received a 2019 Permanent Fund dividend and is eligible to receive the 2020 Permanent Fund dividend. The Permanent Fund Dividend Program was established in 1980, to allow all Alaskans to benefit directly from Alaska’s mineral and investment wealth. For years, the Alaska State Legislature, through a carefully balanced statutory formula has assured a dividend payment that keeps the Permanent Fund on a healthy financial footing, while at the same time directly benefitting the mineral owners, Alaskans themselves. For the past four years, the statutory calculation of the dividend has not been followed. Until such a time that the statutory calculation is amended, I intend to follow the law and submit requests to pay the unpaid amounts. I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure. Sincerely, /s/ Mike Dunleavy Governor Consideration of the Calendar Citations In Memoriam – Leo Mark-Anthony Senator Coghill Senator Hoffman moved and asked unanimous consent the citation be adopted.
