 CHAIRMAN LEMAN calls the Senate State Affairs Committee back to               
 order and brings up SB 378 (NO PFD:PERSONS JAILED FOR FELONY OR               
 MISD.) as the next order of business before the committee.  The               
 chairman calls Mr. Skidmore to speak to the amendment and the                 
 proposed committee substitute.                                                
                                                                               
 Number 178                                                                    
                                                                               
 DAVID SKIDMORE, Aide, Senate Finance Committee, states the                    
 amendment would do two things: it would exempt non-incarcerated               
 misdemeanants from forfeiture of their dividend, and it would also            
 add the Department of Public Safety to a statute that requires                
 cooperation in determining which individuals would be ineligible.             
                                                                               
 Number 193                                                                    
                                                                               
 SENATOR MILLER makes a motion to adopt the Senate State Affairs               
 committee substitute for SB 378.                                              
                                                                               
                                                                               
 Number 196                                                                    
                                                                               
 CHAIRMAN LEMAN, hearing no objection, states the committee                    
 substitute has been adopted.  The chairman states there is a                  
 proposed amendment, and a proposed amendment to the amendment.                
                                                                               
 SENATOR DUNCAN asks what the amendment to the amendment is.                   
                                                                               
 MR. SKIDMORE replies that the amendment to the amendment was                  
 suggested by Mr. Williams, Director of the Dividend Division.                 
                                                                               
 Number 206                                                                    
                                                                               
 CHAIRMAN LEMAN asks Mr. Williams to speak to the amendment to the             
 amendment.                                                                    
                                                                               
 Number 207                                                                    
                                                                               
 TOM WILLIAMS, Director, Permanent Fund Dividend Division,                     
 Department of Revenue, states the amendment to the amendment is               
 just some clarifying language stating the Department of Public                
 Safety would supply the Dividend Division with a list of the people           
 meeting the criteria under AS 43.23.005.                                      
                                                                               
 Number 212                                                                    
                                                                               
 CHAIRMAN LEMAN asks if there is any objection to the amendment or             
 the amendment to the amendment.  Hearing none, the chairman states            
 the amendment to the amendment, and the amendment itself has been             
 adopted.                                                                      
                                                                               
 Number 215                                                                    
                                                                               
 SENATOR MILLER makes a motion to discharge SB 378 from the Senate             
 State Affairs Committee with individual recommendations.                      
                                                                               
 Number 217
