SB 215-ENERGY DIVIDEND: INCREASE 2005 PFD 3:54:25 PM CHAIR GENE THERRIAULT announced SB 214 and SB 215 to be up for discussion. As one of the bills' sponsors, he explained that this is energy-dividend legislation. He noted that he had touched base with committee members and asked them to consider passing the bill on to the Senate Finance Committee. He reminded members that the bills propose a dividend to help cover increased energy costs for Alaskans, with additional money to make up a difference for power cost equalization (PCE) in the current fiscal year. They also propose a $10 million appropriation for multiple-year use for weatherization for low- income people. He pointed out that when it comes to PCE for the current fiscal year and the following one, the issue ultimately will be dealt with in the Senate Finance Committee. He suggested the likelihood that funding would continue for weatherization for low-income people, and said he'd like the Senate Finance Committee to consider a multiyear appropriation. 3:56:25 PM SENATOR CHARLIE HUGGINS moved to report SB 214 and SB 215 from committee with individual recommendations and attached fiscal note(s). Without objection, SB 214 and SB 215 were reported from the Senate State Affairs Standing Committee.
