SB 338-CLAIMS AGAINST STATE EMPLOYEES CHAIR GARY STEVENS announced SB 338 to be up for consideration and noted that amendment 1 was passed at the last hearing and he would like a motion to adopt amendment 2. SENATOR COWDERY made a motion to adopt amendment 2. There being no objection, it was so ordered. 23G-2 10/7/2004 (2:31 PM) A M E N D M E N T 2 OFFERED IN THE SENATE STATE BY _____________________ AFFAIRS COMMITTEE TO: Proposed CS for SB 338 (23-LS ) Add the following new subsection to proposed AS 09.50.253 (Actionable claims against state employees): "( ) The provisions of this section are in addition to and do not supersede a term in a state employee collective bargaining agreement addressing legal defense and indemnity." CHAIR GARY STEVENS asked Ms. Voitlander to explain the amendment. GAIL VOITLANDER, Department of Law, recapped that at the previous hearing PSEA (Public Safety Employees Association) was concerned about the implications on collective bargaining related to defense and indemnity issues. Amendment 2 addresses those concerns and makes it clear that the certification process for the attorney general to convert a claim against a state employee to a claim against the state is in addition to an employee's right to defense and indemnity that is set forth in a collective bargaining agreement. She understood that PSEA concurs with the amendment. CHAIR GARY STEVENS asked whether anyone from PSEA was available to speak to the issue and no one spoke up. There were no further comments or questions. SENATOR BERT STEDMAN made a motion to move CSSB 338(STA) from committee with attached zero fiscal note. There being no objection, it was so ordered.
