SB 100-MUNICIPAL LIENS: AUTHORITY FOR & PRIORITY
2:26:10 PM
CHAIR COGHILL announced the consideration of SB 100.
SENATOR DENNIS EGAN, sponsor of SB 100, Alaska State
Legislature, stated that the bill has no opposition.
2:27:04 PM
KATHY WASSERMAN, Executive Director, Alaska Municipal League,
Juneau, Alaska, described SB 100 as a housekeeping bill that
will fix an unintended consequence and allow municipalities to
again file leans. They were prohibited following the Cutler v.
Kodiak Island Borough decision. She noted the letters of support
from Anchorage, Juneau, Fairbanks, Kenai, Sitka, and Kodiak.
2:28:16 PM
BILL FALSEY, Municipal Attorney, Municipality of Anchorage,
Anchorage, Alaska, advised that the Anchorage Assembly last year
identified a legislative priority to change state law and
restore the ability of municipalities to protect citizens by
recording liens. SB 100 would accomplish that goal. It addresses
an unintended consequence of a lawsuit concerning disgruntled
citizens who filed liens against the personal property of the
Anchorage mayor and various assembly members. He said that
municipal liens were swept into the same net when that nefarious
practice was eliminated. He suggested members look at Title 34
and the variety of liens the legislature allows for citizens to
secure their debts.
2:30:26 PM
CHAIR COGHILL found no questions and solicited a motion.
2:30:50 PM
SENATOR COSTELLO moved to report SB 100, version J, from
committee with individual recommendations and attached fiscal
note(s).
CHAIR COGHILL announced that without objection, SB 100 is
reported from the Senate Judiciary Standing Committee.
