SB 32-APPROP: ALTERNATIVE ENERGY REV. LOAN FUND
2:16:19 PM
CHAIR EGAN announced SB 32 to be up for consideration.
2:16:42 PM
MICHELLE SYDEMAN, staff to Senator Wielechowski, sponsor of SB
32, said this bill fulfills a promise made in last years' Senate
Energy Omnibus bill, which passed unanimously in both houses.
That bill authorized a new loan program that would serve
businesses and non-profits in the state that are struggling with
the same high energy costs that everyone else is. She said the
legislature has done a fabulous job of providing assistance to
home owners, schools, cities, the University and state agencies,
but to date there have not been any programs developed for the
non-profit community or businesses. She recalled "breathtaking"
testimony from a young woman representing a consortium of
churches who referred to a church in Fairbanks that had a
$13,000 energy bill last year and a congregation of just 100
individuals - exemplifying the need. They also heard from five
business owners and had letters from 32 additional business
owners urging the committee to move this legislation along.
SENATOR MENARD moved to report SB 32 from committee with
individual recommendations. There were no objections and it was
so ordered.
2:18:46 PM
At ease from 2:18:46 PM to 2:20:11 PM.
