HOUSE BILL NO. 297 "An Act recognizing the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation as the authorizing agency to approve home energy rating systems for the state; and providing for an effective date." 1:36:09 PM Vice-Chair Neuman MOVED to ADOPT the proposed committee substitute for HB 297, Work Draft 28-LS1307\N (Nauman, 3/5/14). Co-Chair Stoltze OBJECTED for discussion. DANIEL GEORGE, STAFF, REPRESENTATIVE BILL STOLTZE, explained the changes in the CS. The CS removed the findings section in the original bill. He read the findings that had appeared in the original bill: "The legislature finds that recognizing the corporation as the state's home energy rating system authorizing energy services, a public purpose in benefitting the people of the state. The corporations shall act as the authorizing agency for purposes of approving home energy rating systems used in the state." Mr. George shared that the second sentence was the only one that carried over into the latest version of the bill; additionally the CS placed the sentence under a new section, Article 6 of AS 18.56, entitled Home Energy Rating Systems. REPRESENTATIVE LANCE PRUITT, SPONSOR, understood that Alaska Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC) was agreeable to the changes in the CS. Co-Chair Stoltze WITHDREW his OBJECTION. There being NO OBJECTION, it was so ordered. 1:38:53 PM Representative Pruitt explained that the bill would make AHFC the authorizing agency for approving home energy rating systems. He addressed a prior question related to authorizing raters. He said that the system that the state had invested in would be available for individuals to use. STACY SCHUBERT, ALASKA HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION, ANCHORAGE (via teleconference), thought that the changes brought greater clarity to the bill. Co-Chair Stoltze pointed to the new zero fiscal note from the Department of Revenue (DOR). Representative Gara MOVED to REPORT CSHB 297(FIN) out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal note. There being NO OBJECTION, CSHB 297(FIN) was REPORTED out of committee with a "do pass" recommendation and with one new zero fiscal note from the Department of Revenue. 1:41:47 PM AT EASE 1:43:00 PM RECONVENED
