ACTION NARRATIVE
10:02:18 AM
CHAIR LOUISE STUTES called the House Special Committee on

HB 14-LEG. APPROVAL OF BRISTOL BAY SULFIDE MINE
10:02:51 AM
CHAIR STUTES announced that the only order of business would be
HOUSE BILL NO. 14, "An Act relating to the Bristol Bay Fisheries
Reserve; and providing for an effective date."
[Before the committee was the proposed committee substitute (CS)
for HB 14, Version 30-LS0161\D, Shutts/Bullard, 1/27/17, which
was adopted as the work draft on 1/31/17.]
10:03:12 AM
REPRESENTATIVE ANDY JOSEPHSON, Alaska State Legislature, offered
to take questions should any arise.
10:03:38 AM
CHAIR STUTES opened public testimony.
10:03:51 AM
KATI CAPOZZI, Communication Manager, Resource Development
Council for Alaska (RDC), stated opposition for HB 14, and said
it creates uncertainty for current and future projects. She
stressed that Alaska has a rigorous permit process in place.
Developers may view passage of the bill as a sign of
unstableness and unpredictability; thus, serving to hinder
developer's interests for pursuing projects within the state.
In previous testimony, she reminded, it has been brought that
the Bristol Bay Forever Initiative is unconstitutional, as it
violates the separation of powers. Finally, she underscored the
importance for supporting economic resource development in the
state and urged that HB 14 be rejected.
10:06:07 AM
CHAIR STUTES solicited further testimony and, seeing none,
closed public testimony.
10:06:37 AM
REPRESENTATIVE FANSLER moved to report the proposed CS for HB
14, Version 30-LS0161\D, Shutts/Bullard, 1/27/17 out of
committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying
fiscal notes. There being no objection, CSHB 24(FSH) was
reported from the House Special Committee on Fisheries.
10:06:55 AM
CHAIR STUTES thanked the participants and bill sponsor.
