HB 34 - FEDERAL LAWS, REGULATIONS & EXEC. ORDERS
1:05:39 PM
CHAIR KELLER announced that the first order of business would be
HOUSE BILL NO. 34, "An Act making state compliance with a
federal law, regulation, or presidential executive order
contingent on receipt of certain information from the federal
government." [Before the committee was a proposed committee
substitute (CS) for HB 34, Version 28-LS0195\C, Nauman, 1/30/13,
adopted as the working document on 2/25/13; included in members'
packets was a new proposed CS for HB 34, Version 28-LS0195\O,
Nauman, 4/1/13.]
1:06:09 PM
REPRESENTATIVE LYNN moved to adopt the proposed committee
substitute (CS) for HB 34, Version 28-LS0195\O, Nauman, 4/1/13,
as the working document. There being no objection, Version O
was before the committee.
1:06:41 PM
REPRESENTATIVE TAMMIE WILSON, Alaska State Legislature, sponsor,
mentioning that she would be working during the interim to
address concerns with HB 34, explained that Version O of the
bill would preclude the state from complying with a federal law,
federal regulation, or presidential executive order until the
state requests from the federal government a written report on
the economic effect - on the state, on the community, on
industry, and on the local government - of complying with the
federal law, federal regulation, or presidential executive
order; and would preclude the state from accepting any
associated federal funding until either the federal government
or the state provides that written report. Under Version O, the
state would request the written report from the federal
government, but if the federal government does not provide it
within 90 days, then the state would instead prepare the report
and transmit it to the legislature.
REPRESENTATIVE T. WILSON explained that also under Version O,
the state would be required to complete a similar report for all
state laws, state regulations, and executive orders; the
Administrative Regulation Review Committee would be required to
provide certain types of information about proposed regulations
in its statutorily-required notifications, and would be required
to submit comments to the lieutenant governor on the proposed
regulations prior to those regulations being filed by the
lieutenant governor; and the lieutenant governor would in turn
[be required to review those comments, and would] have the
discretion to return the proposed regulations to the appropriate
department for further consideration. The changes proposed by
HB 34, she proffered, would result in the state and industry
having a better understanding of the economic ramifications of
federal and state laws, regulations, and executive orders, and
thereby be better-equipped to make decisions. In conclusion,
she reiterated that she would be working during the interim to
address concerns with HB 34.
[HB 34, Version O, was held over.]
