CHAIR STUTES announced that the only order of business would be
HOUSE BILL NO. 107, "An Act relating to certain fish; and
establishing a fisheries enhancement permit."
10:04:55 AM
REPRESENTATIVE KREISS-TOMKINS moved to adopt the proposed
committee substitute (CS) for HB 107, 30-LS0396\U, Bullard,
3/4/17, as the working document.
10:05:08 AM
CHAIR STUTES objected for discussion.
10:05:28 AM
ELIJAH VERHAGEN, Staff, Representative Talerico, Alaska State
Legislature, presented the changes included in the proposed CS
for HB 107, paraphrasing from the committee handout titled,
"Explanation of Changes - CS House Bill 107," which read:
Title:
Page 1 line 1 changes the title by replacing the word
enhancement with the word rehabilitation.
Sec. 1:
Page 1 line 4 replaces the word enhancement with the
word rehabilitation.
Page 1 line 5 replaces the word enhancement with the
word rehabilitation.
Page 2 line 21 replaces the word enhancement with the
word rehabilitation.
Page 3 line 16 replaces the word enhancement with the
word rehabilitation.
Page 4 line 1 replaces the word enhancement with the
word rehabilitation.
Page 4 line 16 replaces the word three with the word
five, thus extending the period of the permit by two
years; enabling permit holders to see results from
their efforts.
Sec. 2:
Page 5 line 1 replaces the word enhancement with the
word rehabilitation.
Sec. 3:
Page 5 line 7 replaces the word enhancement with the
word rehabilitation.
10:06:41 AM
CHAIR STUTES removed her objection and without further
objection, Version U was before the committee.
10:06:52 AM
REPRESENTATIVE KREISS-TOMKINS asked whether the changes
previously discussed in committee and provided in the CS were
made via consultation with the Alaska Department of Fish & Game
(ADF&G).
MR. VERHAGEN answered yes.
10:08:39 AM
REPRESENTATIVE NEUMAN asked whether a statutory or technical
definition exists to differentiate the characteristics of
rehabilitation from those of enhancement.
MR. VERHAGEN explained that statute does not define
rehabilitate. Legal counsel suggested including an applicable
definition and one was located in the dictionary to serve the
purpose.
REPRESENTATIVE NEUMAN said the term enhanced is often used when
fry are introduced into creeks.
10:10:33 AM
REPRESENTATIVE EASTMAN stated support for having the definition
of rehabilitation included in the proposed CS.
10:11:04 AM
REPRESENTATIVE KREISS-TOMKINS moved to report the proposed CS
for HB 107, Version 30-LS0396\U, Bullard, 3/4/17, out of
committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying
fiscal notes. There being no objection, CSHB 107(FSH) was
reported from the House Special Committee on Fisheries.
10:11:30 AM
CHAIR STUTES thanked the participants.
