SB 315-ENTRY PERMIT BUY-BACK PROGRAM CHAIR SEATON announced that the first order of business would be SENATE BILL NO. 315, "An Act relating to the administration of commercial fishing entry permit buy-back programs." Number 0128 REPRESENTATIVE SAMUELS moved to adopt SB 315, Version D, as the working document. There being no objection, it was so ordered. Number 0170 CHERYL SUTTON, Staff to the Joint Legislative Salmon Industry Task Force, Alaska State Legislature, informed the committee that SB 315 is the companion to HB 410, which this committee heard and moved out on February 9, 2004. She stressed that SB 315 is precisely the same legislation as HB 410. Simply put, SB 315 modifies existing law governing buy-back programs. The legislation would allow the Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission (CFEC) to "front fund" a buy-back program if an appropriation were received for that purpose. Senate Bill 315 has a zero fiscal note, she mentioned. She concluded by urging the committee to report SB 315 from committee. CHAIR SEATON, upon determining no one wished to testify, closed the public hearing on SB 315. Number 0362 REPRESENTATIVE WILSON moved to report SB 315 out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying zero fiscal note. There being no objection, SB 315 was reported from the House Special Committee on Fisheries.
