HB 133-PUBLIC MEETINGS: EXEMPT MUNI SVC AREA BD
8:42:36 AM
CHAIR MCCORMICK announced that the next order of business would
be HOUSE BILL NO. 133, "An Act exempting municipal service area
boards from the requirements of the Open Meetings Act; and
providing for an effective date."
8:42:50 AM
REPRESENTATIVE JESSE SUMNER, Alaska State Legislature, prime
sponsor, said HB 133 seeks to exempt meetings of municipal
service area boards from the Open Meetings Act (OMA). He noted
that he would like to amend the bill to more narrowly tailor the
legislation to fact finding missions for the observation or
investigation of road or maintenance issues, as such a broad
exemption could be problematic.
8:43:44 AM
CHAIR MCCORMICK opened public testimony. After ascertaining
that no one wished to testify, he closed public testimony.
8:44:31 AM
REPRESENTATIVE SUMNER suggested that a forthcoming amendment
could replace the exemption for administrative or managerial
meetings with the investigation of road or maintenance issues,
or solely to meet on matters that are administrative or
managerial in nature.
CHAIR MCCORMICK announced that HB 133 would be held over.
