HJR 47 - CONST AM: APPELLATE JUDGES Number 0048 CHAIRMAN GREEN announced the first item of business would be HJR 47, proposing amendments to the Constitution of the State of Alaska relating to the nomination, selection, appointment, and public approval or rejection of justices of the supreme court and of judges of courts established by the legislature that have as an exclusive purpose the exercise of appellate jurisdiction over judicial acts and proceedings, and requiring legislative confirmation of those justices and judges and of the appointed members of the judicial council. CHAIRMAN GREEN advised members there had been a request to vote on the resolution. He asked whether there were any questions first. Number 0086 REPRESENTATIVE NORMAN ROKEBERG made a motion to take up and move HJR 47 out of committee, with individual recommendations and any attached fiscal notes. CHAIRMAN GREEN asked whether there was any objection to taking it up; none was heard. He then asked whether there was any objection to moving it. Number 0116 REPRESENTATIVE ERIC CROFT objected. He requested an at-ease. CHAIRMAN GREEN called an at-ease at 1:11 p.m. He called the meeting back to order at 1:12 p.m. Number 0173 CHAIRMAN GREEN requested a roll call vote. Voting to move HJR 47 from committee was Representative Rokeberg; voting to move it but with the understanding that their votes were no indication of further support were Representatives Bunde and Green; and voting to move it with a "reluctant yes" was Representative Porter. Voting against it were Representatives James, Berkowitz and Croft. Therefore, HJR 47 moved from the House Judiciary Standing Committee by a vote of 4-3.
