HJR 12-NORTHERN RAIL EXTENSION
1:12:51 PM
CO-CHAIR WOOL announced that the first order of business would
be HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 12, Supporting the completion of
the Northern Rail Extension; supporting the increase in
defensive capabilities at Fort Greely, Alaska; and encouraging
the development of critical Arctic infrastructure.
1:13:21 PM
REPRESENTATIVE TALERICO, as prime sponsor of HJR 12, suggested
his presentation of HJR 12 [on 4/2/19] covered everything;
therefore, he asked if members had questions for him today.
1:13:40 PM
CO-CHAIR STUTES noted there was a zero fiscal note, and she
asked the sponsor whether there would be another fiscal note.
1:13:50 PM
REPRESENTATIVE TALERICO answered there would not be, because HJR
12 asks for full federal funding.
1:14:29 PM
REPRESENTATIVE STORY characterized HJR 12 as "a good
opportunity" and said she is pleased to see the joint resolution
"brought forward."
1:14:38 PM
CO-CHAIR WOOL concurred.
1:14:42 PM
REPRESENTATIVE DRUMMOND mentioned her experience touring the
rail line last summer with other legislators and how one of the
uses of the rail line could be for farmers to move their product
and avoid having to drive a difficult highway. She opined that
the legislature needs to support its farmers, wherever they are
in the state. She expressed support for finishing the rail
line.
1:16:10 PM
CO-CHAIR STUTES moved to report HJR 12 out of committee with
individual recommendations and the accompanying zero fiscal
note. There being no objection, HJR 12 was reported out of the
House Transportation Standing Committee.
