SB 151-REGULATION OF NATURAL GAS PIPELINES CHAIR BUNDE announced SB 151 to be up for consideration. MS. MARY JACKSON, staff to Senator Wagoner, sponsor, said at last week's hearing, two issues were outstanding: the sponsor asked the committee to insert an immediate effective date, which the committee substitute (CS) does; and the second issue was the fiscal note from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). She handed members a revised fiscal note from DNR and a fiscal note from the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) that reflects the impact on the Regulatory Commission of Alaska (RCA). She pointed out that the change in the fiscal note is on the very last line on the second page and reads: "...for the Kenai Kachemak Pipeline. However these dynamics are unlikely as only 63% of the line's total capacity has been contracted for." SENATOR SEEKINS moved to adopt the CS to SB 151, Version D. There were no objections and it was so ordered. SENATOR FRENCH asked if the CS contains any other differences than the two the Ms. Jackson mentioned. MS. JACKSON said there were none. SENATOR SEEKINS asked if all this bill does is to allow other natural gas pipeline carriers to piggyback onto current statutes. MS. JACKSON replied that is correct. The bill removes "North Slope" so that the Act can apply statewide. SENATOR SEEKINS moved to pass CSSB 151 (L&C) from committee with individual recommendations. The roll was called. SENATORS SEEKINS, DAVIS, STEVENS, FRENCH and BUNDE voted yea, and CSSB 151(L&C) moved out of committee.
