CHAIR LEDOUX announced that the final order of business would be
HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 1, Urging the Governor to
acknowledge officially the sovereignty of Alaska tribal
governments, to create clear and consistent policies for
increased state collaboration and partnership with tribes, and
to direct the attorney general to conduct a complete review of
the state's litigation against Alaska Native tribes; urging the
Governor to acknowledge the inherent criminal jurisdiction of
Alaska tribal governments over tribal members within the
boundaries of their villages; urging the Governor to cooperate
with tribes' efforts to transfer Native land to trust; and
urging the Governor to support multilateral negotiations between
tribal governments, nontribal municipalities, and the state
government to delineate clearly tribal geographical
jurisdictions. [Before the committee was CSHCR 1(CRA).]

TIMOTHY CLARK, Staff, Representative Bryce Edgmon, Alaska State
Legislature, said this resolution is addressed to Governor Bill
Walker and requests that he establish a more collaborative
relationship in terms of the state's dealings with tribes. He
offered that it encourages Governor Walker to negotiate
intergovernmental agreements, increase tribal authority and
responsibility, enforce laws and deliver justice in their
communities, and directs the Alaska Attorney General to conduct
a review of the state's litigation against tribes.
REPRESENTATIVE GRUENBERG surmised that page 3, lines 8-17, urges
Governor Walker to establish the policies, negotiate agreements,
and directs the attorney general to conduct a complete review of
the state's litigation. He suggested a report also being
submitted to the legislature of which would be a conceptual
amendment. He asked whether the sponsor would be in agreement
so the legislature knows what has been accomplished, and that
the report is available at the beginning of each year.

CHAIR LEDOUX advised that amendments are submitted 24 hours in
advance.
REPRESENTATIVE GRUENBERG asked if Chair LeDoux would be willing
to allow the discussion to continue.

taking any amendments.

can be discussed on the floor of the House of Representatives.

MR. CLARK said he is not at liberty to answer for Representative
Edgmon as to whether he would be amenable to the conceptual
amendment, but that Representative Edgmon would be willing to
discuss the amendment.
