MR. BITNEY, AHFC, stated that the Corporation suggested a
technical change to this legislation. He noted that the
related appropriation language outlined in Section 1, in
three different places, which discusses revenue bonds as
noted in Section 3 of this same legislation should be
revised. He noted that for clarification purposes, there
were two types of bonds that will pay for this project, one
is revenue bonds, secured by a tobacco payment stream. He
continued that the other type of bond is AHFC general
obligation bonds secured by the full faith in credit of
AHFC. He added that these were not revenue bonds. He
suggested that the word "revenue" on page 2, line 3 and on
page 2, line 15 should be removed. He added that on page
3, line 2, the word "revenue" should also be removed, the
same on page 3, line 25 and generally where ever else this
terminology is referenced.
Amendment #2: This conceptual amendment reflects the
changes to this legislation as outlined by Mr. Bitney.
Co-Chair Parnell moved for adoption. Hearing no objection,
Amendment #2 was ADOPTED.
Co-Chair Parnell made a motion to move HB 287, version 1-
GH2043\I as amended from Committee with individual
recommendations.
Senator Phillips objected.
A roll call vote was taken.
IN FAVOR: Senator P. Kelly, Senator Green, Senator Leman,
Senator Adams, Senator Wilken, Co-Chair Parnell, Co-Chair
Torgerson.
OPPOSED: Senator Phillips, Senator Donley.
THE MOTION PASSED: (7-2)
