SB 168-COMPENSATION FOR WRONGFULLY SEIZED GAME 3:31:18 PM CO-CHAIR BISHOP announced the consideration of SENATE BILL NO. 168 "An Act relating to wrongfully seized game." 3:31:45 PM CO-CHAIR BISHOP announced public testimony. 3:32:06 PM ELIZABETH THOMAS, representing self, Juneau, Alaska, testified in support of SB 168. She recounted being cited for harvesting an illegal bull in 2021 and was found not guilty. She noted that the game was donated before her plea, and despite winning her appeal, she is still awaiting the return of her property. 3:33:37 PM CHAIR KAWASAKI asked who the appeal was made to. 3:33:44 PM MR. THOMAS replied that the Alaska State Troopers appealed the State's decision, which was made by Magistrate Newport in Petersburg. 3:34:07 PM CO-CHAIR GIESSEL asked whether she supports or opposes SB 168. 3:34:14 PM MS. THOMAS replied that she supports SB 168. 3:34:25 PM SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI acknowledged having an extensive discussion with Ms. Thomas on this case. He asked for confirmation of his understanding that the situation involved hunting a moose with a broken tine, which was confiscated by an Alaska State Trooper. The moose weighed approximately 1,000 pounds, resulting in a loss of 1,000 pounds of meat, and has still not been returned after two years. 3:34:56 PM MS. THOMAS replied that is correct. 3:35:11 PM SENATOR DUNBAR said that at the last committee hearing, Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG) claimed that efforts were made to find a replacement animal for the lost meat. He asked whether the department attempted to find a replacement animal for the lost meat and whether an alternative moose was offered. 3:35:35 PM MS. THOMAS replied that there was a delay in communication, but recently, a law enforcement official reached out to her about potentially compensating her with a moose from Anchorage. However, specifics about the compensation amount have not been provided, and there are still many unanswered questions. 3:36:26 PM CO-CHAIR BISHOP closed public testimony and held SB 168 in committee.
