Senators Bishop, Costello, Olson, Stedman were excused from a call of the Senate. Senators Hoffman, von Imhof were absent. The prayer was offered by the Chaplain, Rabbi Max Antman, Congregation Sukkat Shalom. Senator Stevens moved and asked unanimous consent the prayer be spread. Without objection, it was so ordered. This week, Jewish communities all over the world begin reading the book of Leviticus, a section of biblical text which discusses the proper method for offering animal sacrifices to God. This is, of course, no easy task, as the animals have to be slaughtered, treated and presented in very specific ways in order to be acceptable before God. It is grueling work. And yet we read that the ancient Israelites are meticulous, because they believe the sacrifice is worth the reward: a connection to something bigger than themselves, and a place amongst God’s chosen people. Our religious practices have changed a great deal throughout the generations, but the idea of essential sacrifice has remained. What are we willing to sacrifice in order to build a world of wholeness, justice and peace? What is our nation willing to sacrifice to protect the lives of those caught in the midst of an unjust war? 2022-03-11 Senate Journal Page 1988 At this critical inflection point in our world’s history, I pray that we find the strength to act with discernment and compassion. Because there is always a price for speaking truth to power and living out our values. There is always a cost, be it economic, political, or other, to doing what’s right. The only question is, are we willing to pay it? In the Jewish tradition we say, Ken Yehi Ratzon. Let it Be So, Thank you. Senator Wilson led the Senate in the Pledge of Allegiance. Senator Hughes moved and asked unanimous consent Senator Hoffman be excused from a call of the Senate today. Without objection, Senator Hoffman was excused. Certification Senator Hughes moved and asked unanimous consent the journals for the fifty-first and fifty-second legislative days be approved as certified by the Secretary. Without objection, it was so ordered. Standing Committee Reports SB 92 The State Affairs Committee considered SENATE BILL NO. 92 "An Act relating to missing persons under 21 years of age."

The following fiscal information was published today: Fiscal Note No. 1, zero, Department of Natural Resources Governor's transmittal letter dated March 10: Dear President Micciche: Under the authority of Article III, Section 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a bill relating to state ownership of submerged lands and authority over navigable waters. This bill expands on existing law identifying the State’s title interest in submerged lands underlying navigable waters at the time of statehood by clarifying and affirmatively asserting the State’s ownership of those submerged lands that came to be located within or adjacent to federal areas pursuant to federal legislation enacted after statehood. The bill identifies 1,873 water bodies within and adjacent to federal areas in which the State has a title interest to the submerged lands and directs the Commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to conduct ongoing research to identify navigable waters in federal areas to determine the State’s title interest to the submerged land, and report annually to the Legislature any additions, modifications, or other changes to the list of waters in the bill. The bill defines the legal and technical terms key to conducting this research and codifies the criteria to be considered by the DNR Commissioner in determining the State’s title interest in these submerged lands. 2022-03-11 Senate Journal Page 1991 This bill declares Alaska’s constitutional title to the beds of navigable waters and implements the United States Supreme Court decision in Sturgeon v. Frost upholding the State’s title to submerged lands within or adjacent to federal lands set aside after statehood. Alaska’s navigable waters are her cultural and economic lifeblood, providing travel corridors, fish and wildlife habitats, hunting and fishing grounds, and recreational opportunities. Enactment of this measure will advance our State’s ability to manage these submerged lands and navigable waters in the best interests of Alaskans. I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure. Sincerely, /s/ Mike Dunleavy Governor SB 228 SENATE BILL NO. 228 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: "An Act requiring the designation of outstanding national resource water to occur only by statute; relating to the management of outstanding national resource water by the Department of Environmental Conservation; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the Resources Committee. The following fiscal information was published today: Fiscal Note No. 1, zero, Department of Environmental Conservation Governor's transmittal letter dated March 10: Dear President Micciche: Under the authority of Article III, Section 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a bill relating to designation of Outstanding National Resource Waters (Tier III) in Alaska. 2022-03-11 Senate Journal Page 1992 The Environmental Protection Agency requires that states have a process by which an “Outstanding Natural Resource Water,” or a Tier III water, may be designated, and has approved the Department of Environmental Conservation’s policy to direct nominations for Tier III waters to the Legislature. The designation of a Tier III water includes significant use restrictions and requires substantial evaluations on that water and would exceed the Department’s statutory authority to regulate the quality and purity of the water. This bill would establish that a Tier III water may only be designated in statute, and water may not be managed as Tier III waters unless they have been designated. I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure. Sincerely, /s/ Mike Dunleavy Governor SB 229 SENATE BILL NO. 229 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: "An Act relating to misconduct involving confidential information; relating to artifacts of the state; and relating to penalties regarding artifacts or historic, prehistoric, or archeological resources of the state." was read the first time and referred to the Judiciary and Resources Committees. The following fiscal information was published today: Fiscal Note No. 1, zero, Department of Natural Resources Governor's transmittal letter dated March 10: Dear President Micciche: Under the authority of Article III, Section 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a bill relating to misconduct involving confidential information and the protection of state artifacts. 2022-03-11 Senate Journal Page 1993 This bill amends the Alaska Historic Preservation Act and the Alaska criminal code to provide enhanced protections for historic artifacts through increased criminal penalties for violations of the Alaska Historic Preservation Act. Though a young state in political terms, Alaska has a rich history that, if not properly attended and protected, will be lost to future generations. Our State’s remote locations result in troves of historical materials being susceptible to removal outside of Alaska and away from the public. It is important to provide legal clarity and a deterrent for any activity that would illegally monetize the heritage or the people of this state. Under the Alaska Historic Preservation Act currently, the word artifact is not defined. This bill defines artifact. This bill then correspondingly amends all of the Alaska Historic Preservation Act statutes to include the newly defined term artifact. The bill’s remaining amendments focus on criminal liability for offenses related to the newly defined term artifact. The Alaska Historic Preservation Act currently limits criminal penalties to a Class A misdemeanor. Under this bill, depending on the value of the artifact, an individual could be guilty of either a Class B felony or a Class A misdemeanor. An individual will be guilty of a Class B felony where the artifact has a value of more than $25,000. For that Class B felony, the bill grants the sentencing court the discretion to impose a minimum $25,000 fine as well as a fine up to three times the value of the artifact. As a Class B felony, a sentencing court will impose jail time as provided in Alaska’s sentencing statutes under AS 12.55. If the artifact has a value less than $25,000, the individual would be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor and a sentencing court could impose fines and jail time consistent with a Class A misdemeanor as provided in Alaska’s sentencing statutes under AS 12.55. Lastly, the bill amends the offense of “Misconduct involving confidential information in the first degree.” This amendment makes it a criminal violation for an individual who obtains and uses confidential information to commit a crime under the Alaska Historic Preservation Act. Such a violation would be a Class A misdemeanor. 2022-03-11 Senate Journal Page 1994 With this combination of providing a definition to such a broad word as artifact and empowering our legal system to protect these pieces of Alaska’s history, we can further fulfill our obligation to future Alaskans by preserving the past of this land. I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure. Sincerely, /s/ Mike Dunleavy Governor SB 230 SENATE BILL NO. 230 BY THE SENATE RESOURCES COMMITTEE, entitled: "An Act establishing a $25 fee to construct or use a trapping cabin on state land; and exempting trapping cabin permittees from additional land use fees." was read the first time and referred to the Resources Committee.
