HB 230-INTENSIVE MGMT SURCHARGE/REPEAL TERM DATE 2:06:30 PM CO-CHAIR LINCOLN announced the final order of business would be HOUSE BILL NO. 230, "An Act repealing the termination date for the intensive management hunting license surcharge." CO-CHAIR LINCOLN directed attention to documents found in the committee packet including letters of support from Resident Hunters of Alaska and the Alaska Professional Hunters Association, and a pie chart provided by the Division of Wildlife Conservation, Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG), that illustrated the distribution of spending [on intensive management activities] in fiscal year 2019 (FY 19), dated 2/6/20. REPRESENTATIVE HOPKINS directed attention to the pie chart that indicated 1 percent of the $3.4 million earned by the surcharge was spent on predator control; he asked what the 1 percent is being spent on this year and for the historic highs and lows of predator control expenditures. 2:07:59 PM EDDIE GRASSER, Director, Division of Wildlife Conservation, ADFG, explained expenditures for predator management are not very high because most of the funds are directed at survey and inventory to determine species' population and the amount of harvestable surplus. To reduce costs in some game management units (GMUs), ADFG uses private citizens to facilitate predator prey management programs. He opined 1 percent is an accurate average and offered to provide further research in this regard. In further response to Representative Hopkins, he confirmed the cost for survey and inventory is included in research and management. REPRESENTATIVE HOPKINS inquired as to where residents participate in predator control. MR. GRASSER said GMUs 13, 20, and 19. REPRESENTATIVE HOPKINS further asked whether out-of-state hunters participate in predator control programs. MR. GRASSER was unsure and offered to provide the requested information. REPRESENTATIVE RAUSCHER related funds requested by the Division of Forestry, Department of Natural Resources, for prescribed burns come from the [Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act, also known as the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Program (PR)]. 2:11:42 PM MR. GRASSER advised PR funds require a 1:3 match of state and federal funds, thus a portion of said funds are state intensive management funds. CO-CHAIR LINCOLN clarified IM programs, through the Division of Wildlife Conservation, fund Division of Forestry controlled burns, that provide firebreaks to protect from wildland fires, and also provide better habitat for game populations. 2:12:35 PM MR. GRASSER said correct; in fact, prescribed burns benefit many animals and birds. 2:13:07 PM REPRESENTATIVE TALERICO moved to report HB 230 out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal notes. There being no objection, HB 230 was reported out of the House Resources Standing Committee.
