CSHJR 16(RES) AM -OPPOSE UN LAND DESIGNATIONS IN ALASKA
CHAIR WAGONER announced HJR 16 to be up for consideration.
REPRESENTATIVE ELKINS, sponsor, introduced Jennifer Baxter, his
staff person to present the bill to the committee.
JENNIFER BAXTER, staff to Representative Elkin, said that HJR 16
opposes the designation of any area in the state, such as a
world heritage site, biosphere reserve or any other type of
international designation, without the prior consent of the
Alaska State Legislature and the affected local governments.
Many of these United Nations designations include private
property in-holdings and contemplate buffer zones of adjacent
land and could be used to harass or block commercial activities.
Under current law, the Secretary of the Interior can nominate
world heritage sites and the Secretary of State can nominate
biosphere reserves, both without the approval of the United
States Congress.
MS. BAXTER explained that it further urges the United States
Congress to pass legislation that will require approval by an
act of Congress before any area of the United States or its
territories can be studied or be nominated to be any type of
international designation.
CHAIR WAGONER said he enthusiastically supported this
resolution.
4:26:38 PM
SENATOR DYSON moved to pass HJR 16 [CSHJR 16(RES)] from
committee with individual recommendations and zero fiscal note.
There were no objections and it was so ordered.
