HB 217-SP. REQ. ARTS LICENSE PLATES; COMPETITION
9:53:37 AM
CHAIR LYNN announced that the final order of business was HOUSE
BILL NO. 217, "An Act relating to special request registration
plates commemorating the arts; and relating to the Alaska State
Council on the Arts."
CHAIR LYNN offered his understanding that a committee substitute
was available for HB 217, and he asked the bill sponsor to
address it.
9:54:11 AM
REPRESENTATIVE KREISS-TOMKINS, as sponsor of HB 217, indicated
that an available committee substitute (CS) would modify the
cost in the original bill from $150 to $35 for the specialty
license plate.
9:54:31 AM
REPRESENTATIVE KELLER moved to adopt the proposed committee
substitute (CS), Version 29-LS0999\E, Martin, 1/21/16, as a work
draft. [There being no objection, Version E was before the
committee.]
REPRESENTATIVE KREISS-TOMKINS described HB 217 as "American Idol
meets Alaska license plates." He relayed that under HB 217,
every four years the Alaska State Council on the Arts (ASCA)
would hold a state-wide competition for license plate design
that best embodies the spirit, beauty, or landscape of Alaska.
He said those who would be able to submit designs could include
Alaskan artists such as Byron Birdsall or Ray Troll. The
designs would be adjudicated by a jury assembled by ASCA, then
Alaskans at large could vote for a winning design from the
finalists' works. The winning design would go on a limited
edition run for four years, and Alaskans could choose to buy a
limited edition plate during the four years of its run. After
that, the process would be repeated.
9:56:19 AM
REPRESENTATIVE KELLER moved to rescind the committee's action in
adopting Version E as a work draft.
9:56:26 AM
REPRESENTATIVE GRUENBERG objected to ascertain that he had
received all paperwork in question, then removed his objection.
There being no further objection, the committee's action in
adopting Version E was rescinded.
9:56:36 AM
REPRESENTATIVE KELLER moved to adopt the proposed committee
substitute (CS), Version 29-LS0999\N, Martin, 1/25/16, as a work
draft. There being no further objection, Version N was before
the committee.
[HB 217 was held over.]
