SB 101-REVISOR'S BILL
CHAIR GENE THERRIAULT announced the first order of business to
be SB 101 and asked for a motion to adopt the committee
substitute (CS).
SENATOR THOMAS WAGONER motioned to adopt \F version CSSB 101 as
the working document. There being no objection, it was so
ordered.
JAMES CRAWFORD, assistant revisor of statutes, Legislative Legal
Services, explained the CS reflects the three suggestions from
the previous hearing.
The first change, found on page 9, line 16, is a further
correction to the power of attorney form. The language "as I
have checked" is deleted and "as indicated" is inserted.
Change two occurs on page 19, line 5 and is a further correction
to clarify that AS 16.43.901 and AS 16.43.906 mentioned on line
6 have been repealed. The work "former" is inserted before each
reference.
3:39:01 PM
SENATOR KIM ELTON questioned why the word "recently" wasn't
deleted.
MR. CRAWFORD responded the Department of Law (DOL) brought the
suggestion forward and the change was made per its
recommendation.
3:39:50 PM
SENATOR ELTON elaborated saying his concern is that the word
"recently" wouldn't be accurate in subsequent years and using
the word might create a legal problem at some point.
CHAIR THERRIAULT asked whether DOL specifically recommended
leaving "recently" in the sentence.
MR. CRAWFORD acknowledged that the drafters weren't given
specific direction on that point and he didn't object to
removing the adjective.
3:41:21 PM
SENATOR ELTON motioned to delete the word "recently" from page
19, line 5.
CHAIR THERRIAULT noted conceptual amendment 1 passed with no
objection. He asked Mr. Crawford if he would automatically
follow through with the DOL to determine whether or not that
creates a problem.
MR. CRAWFORD said he would be happy to do that on behalf of the
committee.
CHAIR THERRIAULT noted the third and final change in the CS
occurred on page 33.
3:43:07 PM
SENATOR CHARLIE HUGGINS joined the meeting.
MR. CRAWFORD referenced the discussion from the 2/24/05 hearing
regarding the third change and explained that Legislative Legal
does not want to "propose estimated solutions to ambiguous
intent" so Section 68, relating to AS 45.63.080(a)(11) is
deleted from SB 101 entirely
CHAIR THERRIAULT noted that removes about two and one half pages
from the bill. He asked Mr. Crawford whether anything else
needed highlighting.
MR. CRAWFORD replied revising is an ongoing process but nothing
else had come to light since the previous hearing.
CHAIR THERRIAULT noted the one zero fiscal note then asked for a
motion.
SENATOR WAGNER motioned to report CSSB 101(STA) from committee
with individual recommendations and attached zero fiscal note.
There being no objection, it was so ordered.
