HCR 17-SUPPORT AVIATION INDUSTRY; USE STATE LAND
1:05:12 PM
CO-CHAIR FOSTER announced that the first order of business would
be HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 17, Supporting the aviation
industry; and urging the governor to make state-owned land
available to the unmanned aircraft systems industry for the
management and operation of unmanned aircraft systems and
related research, manufacturing, testing, and training.
1:05:23 PM
CO-CHAIR HUGHES moved to rescind the committee's action in
moving CSHCR 17(TRA) out of committee.
1:05:35 PM
CO-CHAIR FOSTER objected for the purpose of discussion.
1:06:13 PM
The committee took an at-ease from 1:06 p.m. to 1:07 p.m.
1:07:17 PM
GINGER BLAISDELL, Staff, Representative Shelley Hughes, Alaska
State Legislature, on behalf of Representative Hughes, prime
sponsor of HCR 17, reviewed that [on 2/4/16] the committee had
adopted two amendments [to the original version of HCR 17]. She
explained that the first amendment had replaced the word
"aviation" with "unmanned aircraft systems", as well as added a
reference for the economic data within the resolution. The
second amendment had provided a list specifying where copies of
the resolution would be sent. She explained that the latter
amendment had caused a drafting issue with Legislative Legal and
Research Services: It would have changed the status of the
resolution from concurrent to joint, because people outside of
state government were identified to receive copies. She
explained that the Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Legislative
Task Force could distribute copies to any individuals that they
deemed appropriate. In response to a question from
Representative Claman, she clarified that the appropriate action
would be to rescind the previous committee action [moving CSHCR
17(TRA) out of committee], and adopting the proposed committee
substitute (CS).
1:10:28 PM
CO-CHAIR FOSTER removed his objection to the motion to rescind
the committee's action in moving CSHCR 17(TRA) out of committee
[on 2/4/16].
1:10:49 PM
The committee took an at-ease from 1:10 p.m. to 1:11 p.m.
1:11:16 PM
CO-CHAIR FOSTER announced there being no further objection, [HCR
17, as amended], was before the committee.
1:11:47 PM
CO-CHAIR HUGHES moved to adopt the proposed committee substitute
(CS) for HCR 17, Version 29-LS1327\E, Wayne, 2/4/16, as the
working draft.
1:12:06 PM
CO-CHAIR FOSTER objected for the purpose of discussion.
1:12:14 PM
MS. BLAISDELL described the changes that would be made under
Version E. She stated that on page 1, lines 13 and 15,
"aviation" would be replaced with "unmanned aircraft systems".
On page 2, line 1, the following language would be added: "as
identified in the McDowell Group's May 2013 report for the
Alaska Center for Unmanned Aircraft Systems Integration at
University of Alaska Fairbanks", which is a reference for the
economic data in the resolution.
CO-CHAIR HUGHES reiterated that that the UAS Task Force would be
happy to send copies to the FAA, to industry associations, and
to [Alaska's] U.S. Congressional delegation.
1:13:22 PM
CO-CHAIR FOSTER removed his objection to the motion to adopt CS
for HCR 17, Version 29-LS1327\E, Wayne, 2/4/16, as a work draft.
There being no further objection, Version E was before the
committee.
1:13:42 PM
CO-CHAIR HUGHES moved to report CS for HCR 17, Version 29-
LS1327\E, Wayne, 2/4/16, from committee with individual
recommendations and the accompanying zero fiscal note. There
being no objection, CSHCR 17(TRA) was reported from the House
