HOUSE BILL NO. 218
"An Act relating to cost recovery fisheries for private
nonprofit hatchery facilities."
STEVEN DAUGHERTY, ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL, NATURAL
RESOURCE SECTION, DEPARTMENT OF LAW, (via teleconference)
noted problems with subsection(d) of Section 1 in the bill.
There are potential taxing authority issues. The Department
of Law has been working to try to develop clearer criteria
so that it is the legislature that is imposing the tax, not
the hatchery operator. He noted concerns with some of the
potential amendments.
9:09:54 AM
Co-Chair Chenault took up Conceptual Amendment 1, which was
moved and objected to during the meeting on April 27, 2005.
[Amendment 1 deleted Section 1 of the Version X Committee
Substitute to HB 218.] Co-Chair Chenault asked if there
were any objections to the motion to adopt Conceptual
Amendment 1. There being NO OBJECTION, it was so ordered.
Representative Hawker MOVED to ADOPT the new CS for HB 218,
labeled 24-LS0544\P, Utermohle, 4/27/05. There being NO
OBJECTION, it was so ordered.
IAN FISK, STAFF, REPRESENTATIVE BILL THOMAS, explained a
change in the new CS. In Version P, on page 1, language was
eliminated about the commissioner consulting with other
interested parties. Language about affected commercial
fishermen and "organizations of affected commercial
fishermen" was added. Other suggestions of Mr. Esquiro from
an earlier meeting were not incorporated.
9:13:22 AM
Mr. Daugherty commented on the changes in the new CS and
said there are no problems with the new language in
subsection (d). He explained that the legislature would
apply a formula that would be defensible regarding the
amounts that have to be collected each year.
9:14:24 AM
Representative Hawker clarified that the legislature sets
taxes and fees in the context of this bill only.
Representative Kelly said he assumes that subsection (d) is
corrected. Mr. Fisk replied that it was discussed with the
Attorney General's office.
9:15:43 AM
Representative Foster MOVED to report CSHB 218 out of
Committee with individual recommendations and the
accompanying fiscal notes. There being NO OBJECTION, it was
so ordered.
CSHB 218 (FIN) was REPORTED out of Committee with a "no
recommendation" recommendation and with the following fiscal
impact notes: zero note #1 by the Department of Commerce,
Community and Economic Development, zero note #2 by the
Department of Fish and Game, zero note #3 by the Department
of Public Safety, and with indeterminate note #4 by the
