CS FOR HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 23(FIN)
Establishing and relating to the Alaska Arctic Policy
Commission.
9:49:43 AM
Co-Chair Hoffman MOVED to ADOPT the proposed committee
substitute for HCR 23, Work Draft 27-LS1212\T (Nauman,
4/13/12) as a working document.
9:50:02 AM
Co-Chair Stedman OBJECTED for the purpose of discussion.
Mr. Peterson explained the changes in the new committee
substitute for HCR 23, version T. He related that on page
2, lines 15 through 17, language had been added; the
language "and each has a significant stake in the nature
and course of those activities and development" had been
added to the end of the sentence on lines 16 through 17.
The second change, on page 3, line 3, increased the number
of members of the commission from 17 to 20. On page 3,
lines 21 and 22, the language "with experience in a coastal
management program" was added after the wording "one member
from a coastal community." He related that the commission's
new members were on subsections K, L, and M. Subsection K
added a new member who represented the marine
transportations and logistics industry. Subsection L
designated a new member to the commission who would
represent a Native corporation. Subsection M added one
member to the commission who would represent a state-
licensed marine pilot. He stated that there were changes to
page 4, lines 6 and 7, which dealt with the commission's
alternate members. He explained that previously, the
commission had four public alternate members, but that the
language had been reworded so that there were two alternate
members from the public and two alternate members from the
legislature. He added that the two members from the
legislature would include one Senator and one
Representative.
9:52:03 AM
Co-Chair Stedman WITHDREW his OBJECTION. There being NO
FURTHER OBJECTION, Work Draft 27-LS1212\T was ADOPTED.
CHRISTINE HESS, STAFF, REPRESENTATIVE REGGIE JOULE,
explained that the legislation was a result of a
recommendation by the Northern Waters Task Force that an
arctic policy commission be established. She explained that
all arctic nations, including the United States, had an
arctic policy, but that the U.S.'s policy was moving
forward slowly. She concluded that it was decided that
Alaska needed its own arctic policy.
Co-Chair Stedman discussed a fiscal impact note from
Legislative Council in the amount of $272,600 in general
funds for the cost of travel and one range 19 position to
staff the commission.
9:53:25 AM
Co-Chair Hoffman MOVED to report SCS CSHCR 23(FIN) out of
committee with individual recommendations and the
accompanying fiscal note. There being NO OBJECTION, it was
so ordered.
9:53:46 AM
SCS CSHCR 23(FIN) was REPORTED out of committee with a "do
pass" recommendation and with a new fiscal impact note from
the Legislature.
