HOUSE BILL NO. 338
"An Act relating to applications, qualifications, and
criminal history and background checks for a
certificate of fitness for explosives handlers; and
providing for an effective date."
LALANYA SNYDER, STAFF, REPRESENTATIVE MIKE CHENAULT,
explained that HB 338 is designed to tighten up Alaska
statutes. Currently, the Department of Labor has the
authority to issue a license known as a certificate of
fitness to work with explosives in Alaska. The department
requires that an explosive handler applicant submit to a
criminal background check, but it does not require
fingerprinting. This bill would provide the necessary
authority for the Departments of Labor and Public Safety to
perform a fingerprint-based nationwide criminal history
search to better ensure the safety of Alaskans.
Representative Kelly asked if the bill only changes
requirements for explosives handlers. Co-Chair Meyer said
that is correct.
1:45:16 PM
TOM BRYCE, ALASKA DISTRICT COUNCIL OF LABORERS, whose
organization represents explosives handlers, expressed
support for HB 338.
Representative Stoltze MOVED to REPORT CSHB 338 (L&C) out of
Committee with individual recommendations and the
accompanying zero fiscal notes. There being NO OBJECTION,
it was so ordered.
CSHB 338 (L&C) was REPORTED out of Committee with a "do
pass" recommendation and with zero fiscal note #1 by the
Department of Public Safety and zero fiscal note #2 by the
Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
