SB 171-DOA PAYMENTS; REPEAL OTHER DOA DUTIES
9:42:02 AM
CHAIR STOLTZE announced the consideration of SB 171. He asked
for a motion to adopt the proposed committee substitute (CS).
9:42:34 AM
SENATOR HUGGINS moved to adopt the CS for SB 171, [version 29-
GS2811\H], as the working document.
CHAIR STOLTZE objected for discussion purposes.
9:43:00 AM
DANIEL GEORGE, Staff, Senator Bill Stoltze, Alaska State
Legislature, Juneau, Alaska, explained that the CS would place
the University of Alaska System and the Alaska Court System
under the state consolidated travel program. He added that the
CS would put the state's "online checkbook" continuously online
and statutorily require public access for the purpose of
transparency in government spending. He added that the "online
checkbook" would be required to list where the spending takes
place and where the spending would take place from.
CHAIR STOLTZE commented that state agencies have exhibited a
defensiveness regarding the "online checkbook" and said "not
us." He stated that he welcomed consideration that the Alaska
Railroad, Alaska Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC), Alaska
Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA), and the
Alaska Gasline Development Corporation (AGDC) be included as
well. He noted that he appreciated that Senator Wielechowski
came forward with the "online checkbook," a relevant concept
that addressed reforms and cost savings. He added that
Representative Reinbold offered suggestions as well.
CHAIR STOLTZE removed his objection. He stated that without
objection, the CS was adopted.
9:46:02 AM
CHAIR STOLTZE announced that SB 171 would be held in committee.
