 SENATOR MILLER announced  HB 266  (ELIGIBILITY FOR GUIDE-OUTFITTER            
 LICENSE) to be up for consideration.  He said the proposed CS                 
 extends the Board for one more year and requires 8 recommendations            
 and deleted language after that.  There is also a deletion of                 
 insurance requirements.                                                       
                                                                               
 SENATOR LEMAN moved to adopt the CS to HB 266.  There were no                 
 objections and it was so ordered.                                             
                                                                               
 JOE KLUTSCH, Alaska Professional Hunters Association, supported HB
.  He said most land owners require some level of insurance.               
                                                                               
 SENATOR MILLER explained it was a recommendation of the Big Game              
 Guiding Board to do away with the insurance requirement.                      
                                                                               
 CARL LUCK, Director, Occupational Licensing, said the insurance               
 issue was a policy call.  They have no position, because it's                 
 redundant.  In most cases the private land owners and the federal             
 government require insurance.                                                 
                                                                               
 SENATOR LEMAN moved to pass SCSHB 266(RES) from committee with                
 individual recommendations.  There were no objections and it was so           
 ordered.
