  HB 180 AHFC HOUSING INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS                                  
                                                                               
  Number 400                                                                   
                                                                               
  CHAIR MACLEAN next presented HB 180 ("An Act relating to the                 
  residential housing inspection requirements of the Alaska                    
  Housing Finance Corporation.") saying the new inspection                     
  requirements were not intended to apply to rural housing                     
  loans, so this bill would allow flexibility in substituting                  
  videotape or other methods for on-site visits.  She added                    
  that the banks were in favor of it.                                          
                                                                               
  Number 420                                                                   
                                                                               
  REPRESENTATIVE HUDSON stated this was a good bill and would                  
  pass even without a Task Force endorsement.                                  
                                                                               
  (CHAIR MACLEAN did not officially announce the committee's                   
  decision.  The committee aide later confirmed that the                       
  decision to co-sponsor had been left open.)
