8:43:22 AM
CHAIR SEEKINS removed his objection. Hearing no further
objections, the committee adopted version S.
SENATOR THERRIAULT explained that the issue of state agencies
being liable remained up for discussion and that there would be
a fiscal impact. However, he stated, the sponsors would rather
the fiscal discussion happen in the Senate Finance Committee.
STEVE CLEARY, Director of Alaska Public Interest Research Group
(AkPIRG), testified in support of SB 222. He stated that the
bill was a great example of bipartisan work in the Legislature
and that it would benefit consumers in Alaska.
8:48:24 AM
ED SNIFFEN, Assistant Attorney General, Department of Law (DOL),
testified that version S resolves most of the concerns that have
been heard by the different entities and the public. Concerning
interagency disclosure, some agencies also disclose social
security information to non-governmental third parties in
certain circumstances, such as the Alaska Commission on Post
Secondary Education. That agency is required to report any
defaulted loans to credit agencies.
8:51:25 AM
SENATOR GUESS informed Mr. Sniffen that she and Senator
Therriault were working on fixing that concern.
8:54:24 AM
SENATOR HOLLIS FRENCH moved CSSB 222(JUD) out of committee with
individual recommendations and attached fiscal notes. Hearing no
objections, the motion carried.
