 GERON BRUCE, Legislative Liaison, Alaska Department of Fish and               
 Game, testified in support of HB 141.  He stated, "This bill is a           
 result of concerns brought forth by the Fisheries Policy Transition           
 Team.  Since HB 141 is being held over, we would like to work with            
 the committee on rewording the transition section of the bill."               
                                                                               
 MR. McCUNE testified in support of HB 141.  He added, "I was a                
 member of the transition team and we felt that this should make the           
 Board of Fish more streamline and more efficient."                            
                                                                               
 Number 362                                                                    
                                                                               
 REPRESENTATIVE OGAN commented, "This bill should help in the                  
 confirmation process and might produce a better selection of                  
 candidates knowing they aren't going to get beat up."                         
                                                                               
 CHAIRMAN AUSTERMAN indicated that HB 141 would be held over in              
 committee.
