HB 104-IMMUNITY FOR FIRE DEPT. & MEMBERS
8:04:27 AM
CHAIR TILTON announced that the first order of business would be
HOUSE BILL NO. 104, "An Act relating to immunity for a fire
department and employees or members of a fire department."
8:05:00 AM
REPRESENTATIVE SEATON moved to adopt CSHB 104, Version 29-
LS0550\W, Shutts, 3/9/15, as the working document.
CHAIR TILTON objected for discussion purposes.
8:05:21 AM
DAN BELLERIVE, Staff, Representative Tilton, Alaska State
Legislature, reviewed the changes encompassed in Version W. He
explained that page 1, line 11, exempts intentional misconduct
and gross negligence from the protection afforded to the fire
departments. Page 1, lines 12-14, addresses the concern that
the proposed language of HB 104 would provide protection for a
fire department while carrying out duties under contract with a
private entity that had a contract with a village. Page 2,
lines 3-4, would provide legal protection for fire departments
that are registered with the state fire marshal and provide
services under contract or agreement with a municipality or
village. He noted that existing statute only provides
protection for fire departments operated and maintained by a
municipality or village. Page 2, line 6, provides conforming
language to ensure that the immunity in subsection (c) doesn't
conflict with or restrict the immunities provided in subsection
(d).
8:06:52 AM
REPRESENTATIVE HUGHES recalled the question from the last
hearing regarding whether the term "village" is sufficient or
whether the term "established village" is more appropriate.
MR. BELLERIVE directed attention to AS 09.65.070(e)(2), as
follows:
(2) "village" means an unincorporated community where at
least 25 people reside as a social unit.
8:07:25 AM
CHAIR TILTON withdrew her objection. There being no further
objection, Version W was adopted.
8:07:46 AM
REPRESENTATIVE SEATON moved to report CSHB 104, Version 29-
LS0550\W, Shutts, 3/9/15, out of committee with individual
recommendations and the accompanying [zero] fiscal note. There
being no objection, CSHB 104(CRA) was reported from the House
Community and Regional Affairs Standing Committee.
