3:17:54 PM
CO-CHAIR FIELDS objected for the purpose of discussion.
3:17:54 PM
REPRESENTATIVE SNYDER pointed out that AS 08.01.063 addresses
licensure for the spouses of military members, but not the
military members themselves. She said the language in Amendment
1 would provide temporary licensure opportunities to active duty
military personnel.
3:18:49 PM
REPRESENTATIVE MCCARTY stated his belief that similar
legislation had been passed "several years ago," and he asked
whether this amendment would duplicate that legislation.
REPRESENTATIVE SNYDER expressed that Representative McCarty may
be referring to SB 86, which included language similar to
Amendment 1, but said that SB 86 had been withdrawn.
3:20:10 PM
SENATOR JOSH REVAK, Alaska State Legislature, stated his support
for Amendment 1 as prime sponsor of SB 21.

REPRESENTATIVE NELSON thanked Representative Snyder for the
amendment and shared his desire to undertake more
"comprehensive" legislation in the future.
3:20:58 PM
CO-CHAIR FIELDS removed his objection. There being no further
objection, Amendment 1 to SB 21 was adopted.
3:21:11 PM
CO-CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ moved to report SB 21, as amended, out of
committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying
fiscal notes. There being no objection, HCS SB 21(L&C) was
reported out of the House Labor and Commerce Standing Committee.
