HB 167-DEATH CERTIFICATE FOR DECEASED VETERAN CHAIR LYNN announced that the next order of business would be HOUSE BILL NO. 167, "An Act relating to providing a death certificate for a deceased veteran without cost." SARAH HOOK, Staff to Representative Max Gruenberg, Alaska State Legislature, said HB 167 provides death certificates for a deceased veteran without costs to next of kin. The bill is modeled after an Arizona statute. 2:26:06 PM EDWARD C. FERMAN, Juneau, said he is a Veteran of Foreign Wars, and veterans are not being taken care. He said the committee is doing a good job, but there are a lot of things that are not covered. He said a soldier came back from the Gulf with a crushed leg and was told she could not get the treatment she needed. "We want to take care of our veterans," he said. PHILLIP MITCHELL, Section Chief, Bureau of Vital Statistics, Division of Public Health, Department of Health and Social Services, suggested a clear definition of a veteran for HB 167. REPRESENTATIVE GRUENBERG said his staff will do that. 2:31:17 PM REPRESENTATIVE GRUENBERG said it will be the same language found in the companion bill HB 166. He offered Amendment 1 as defining a veteran as the meaning given in HB 166. Hearing no objection, Amendment 1 was so moved. JERRY BEALE, Director, Office of Veteran Affairs, Department of Military & Veterans' Affairs, said HB 166 provides a very basic service. It would add a benefit to the families. REPRESENTATIVE CISSNA moved to report CSHB 167, version 24- LS0605\G as amended out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal notes. Hearing no objection, CSHB 167(MLV) was moved out of the House Special Committee on Military and Veterans' Affairs.
