                      SB 130 MARINE PILOTS                                    
                                                                              
 SENATOR LEMAN announced SB 130 to be up for consideration, noting             
 there was a subcommittee report.                                              
                                                                               
 SENATOR PEARCE moved to adopt the subcommittee's CS to SB 130.                
 There were no objections and it was so ordered.                               
                                                                               
 Number 245                                                                    
                                                                               
 SENATOR PEARCE moved to adopt amendment #1 which reinstates the               
 maximum tariff procedure.  SENATORS TAYLOR and LINCOLN objected.              
 SENATORS TAYLOR, PEARCE, LINCOLN and HOFFMAN voted no; SENATOR                
 LEMAN voted yes; and the amendment failed.                                    
                                                                               
 Number 277                                                                    
                                                                               
 SENATOR PEARCE offered amendment #3.  SENATOR LINCOLN objected.               
 SENATOR PEARCE said that there was a tremendous amount of testimony           
 on cross-regionalization in 1991 when they first worked on this               
 issue.  Present law says it leaves that question up to the Board,             
 and the Board has that authority under the language that's being              
 deleted in this amendment.  She did not support the amendment, but            
 did support the language in the present bill that does change and             
 give the Board a different kind of latitude that will allow                   
 continued safety aspects.                                                     
                                                                               
 SENATOR LEMAN said he disagreed, because the Board would still have           
 the ability to establish the procedures by which somebody would get           
 qualified.                                                                    
                                                                               
 SENATORS PEARCE, TAYLOR, LINCOLN, and HOFFMAN voted no; SENATOR               
 LEMAN voted yes; and the amendment failed to pass.                            
                                                                               
 MIKE SPENCE and PAUL FUHS, Southwest Alaska Pilots Association,

 SENATOR TAYLOR moved to pass CSSB 130(RES) from committee with                
 individual recommendations.  There were no objections and it was so           
 ordered.
