HOUSE BILL NO. 293 "An Act relating to motor vehicle registration plates; and providing for an effective date." 9:53:43 AM CHERE KLEIN, STAFF, REPRESENTATIVE PEGGY WILSON, discussed the legislation. She explained that the bear license plate was originally the state's bicentennial license plate and was recognized in the Lower 48 as an iconic "symbol of Alaska." She cited a recent carinsurance.com pole that discovered that Alaska's plain yellow license plate was the least favored of all states. The legislation provided residents the option of obtaining the bear plate as their primary license plate. She referenced a discussion with a past commissioner of the Department of Public Safety (DPS) who explained that the bear was chosen in 1975 because the bear represented a commonality for all Alaskans. Bear habitat was found throughout the entire state. She reported that the legislation changed words in statute for specialty license plates for "active" and "former" firefighters and EMTs. The bill removed the words "active" and "former" so that all firefighters; volunteer, paid, former, or retired had the opportunity to be recognized for their service and it decreased the years of service requirement for former or retired firefighters and EMTS from ten years to five years. The cost of the license plate would be $30. Vice-Chair Neuman suggested that the license plate could more easily identify a person as medical personnel. Representative Holmes appreciated the bill. She expressed support for the bill. She clarified that the intent of the legislation was to provide two official license plates at the cost of $30. Ms. Klein replied in the affirmative. Representative Wilson discussed the fiscal note from the Department of Administration (DOA) FN1 (ADM). She relayed that $3.2 thousand was appropriated in FY 15 and was a zero note in the out years. AMY ERICKSON, DIRECTOR, DIVISION OF MOTOR VEHICLES, DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATION, responded to Representative Holmes' question regarding cost. She commented that the legislation would not change the fees and the bear would be an alternate primary plate. Representative Holmes shared that people she polled preferred the look of the original license plate calling the design "retro." She requested that the department keep the original design. Representative Wilson MOVED to REPORT CSHB 293(STA) out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal note. There being NO OBJECTION, it was so ordered. CSHB 293(STA) was REPORTED out of committee with a "do pass" recommendation and with one previously published fiscal impact note: FN1 (ADM).
