ACTION NARRATIVE 5:30:19 PM CHAIR LOUISE STUTES called the House Special Committee on Fisheries meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. Representatives Stutes, Kreiss-Tomkins, Johnson, Ortiz, and Millett were present at the call to order. Representative Herron arrived as the meeting was in progress. HB 366-COMM. FISH. ENTRY PERMIT LOANS & BANKS 5:31:04 PM CHAIR STUTES announced that the only order of business would be HOUSE BILL NO. 366, "An Act relating to commercial fishing entry permits; establishing regional community permit banks and regions for certain commercial fishing permits; relating to commercial fishing entry permits and regions leased and controlled by a regional community permit bank; relating to the duties of the Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission and the Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development; and providing for an effective date." 5:31:40 PM REPRESENTATIVE KREISS-TOMKINS stated that a proposed committee substitute (CS) to HB 366, to be offered for adoption, would be forthcoming. He further explained that the intention is to have a working draft made available for public review, as well as to address constitutional questions that arose during the initial hearing of the bill. [The forthcoming CS was treated as being in the committee packet.] 5:31:55 PM CHAIR STUTES asked to have the question of constitutionality addressed. REPRESENTATIVE KREISS-TOMKINS deferred to Legislative Legal and Research Services. 5:333 PM ALPHEUS BULLARD, Attorney, Legislative Legal and Research Services, said HB 366 is constitutionally sound. REPRESENTATIVE KREISS-TOMKINS asked whether HB 366 allows ownership of a permit by any entity other than an individual or a permit bank. MR. BULLARD responded that only natural persons and regional community permit banks would be allowed to hold permits. REPRESENTATIVE JOHNSON called a point of order, and objected to proceeding any further without having the proposed CS distributed to the committee. REPRESENTATIVE KREISS-TOMKINS pointed out that the comments made relate to HB 366, as previously introduced. CHAIR STUTES announced HB 366 as [held over]. 5:36:55 PM ADJOURNMENT There being no further business before the committee, the House Special Committee on Fisheries meeting recessed until 10:00 on 4/7/16, at 5:35 p.m.
