 SSTA - 4/25/95                                                                
 Number 370                                                                    
                                                                               
            HB  13 CAMPAIGN FILINGS & DISCLOSURES                            
                                                                               
 SENATOR SHARP brings up HB 13 as the next order of business before            
 the Senate State Affairs Committee and calls the first witness.               
                                                                               
 JEFF LOGAN, Aide to Representative Green, prime sponsor of HB 13,             
 relays information contained in the sponsor statement.  Reasons for           
 campaign disclosure include an informed electorate, deterrence of             
 corruption and the avoidance of the appearance of corruption, and             
 detecting violations of contribution limits.  HB 13 would require             
 candidates whose name is not going to be on the primary election              
 ballot to make campaign disclosure reports, just as all other                 
 candidates are required to do.  The sponsor has worked with APOC on           
 this legislation, and APOC supports this legislation.  There is a             
 zero fiscal note.  HB 13 passed the house with no opposition.                 
                                                                               
 Number 415                                                                    
                                                                               
 BROOKE MILES, Administrator, Alaska Public Offices Commission,                
 states APOC has worked with the sponsor of HB 13 and supports the             
 bill.  HB 13 will not have a fiscal impact.  This bill would                  
 require complete disclosure.                                                  
                                                                               
 SENATOR LEMAN makes a motion to discharge HB 13 from the Senate               
 State Affairs Committee with individual recommendations.                      
                                                                               
 Number 430                                                                    
                                                                               
 CHAIRMAN SHARP, hearing no objection, orders HB 13 released from              
 committee with individual recommendations.
