2:03:58 PM                                                                                                                    
                                                                                                                                
ANNA   LATHIM,   Staff,   Representative  Olson,   Alaska   State                                                               
Legislature, explained  that although  HB 167  passed out  of the                                                               
House  Labor   and  Commerce   Standing  Committee   without  any                                                               
unfavorable  public testimony  or concerns,  late in  the process                                                               
some  concerns  arose.   As  HB  167  was originally  written  it                                                               
would've required  an architect  stamp on  fourplex units.   Upon                                                               
hearing concerns, Amendment 1 was  drafted such that the language                                                               
would return to existing statute.   In response to Representative                                                               
Chenault, Ms. Lathim  specified that an architect  stamp would be                                                               
required on structures larger than a fourplex.                                                                                  
                                                                                                                                
2:05:38 PM                                                                                                                    
                                                                                                                                
CHAIR JOHNSON,  upon determining no  one else wished  to testify,                                                               
closed public testimony.

CHAIR JOHNSON  [withdrew] his objection  and announced  that upon                                                               
hearing no further objections, Amendment 1 was adopted.

REPRESENTATIVE OLSON moved  to report HB 167, as  amended, out of
