WITNESS REGISTER
BRIAN HOVE, Staff
to Senator Ralph Seekins
Alaska State Legislature
Juneau, Alaska
POSITION STATEMENT: During discussion of the proposed House
committee substitute (HCS) for SB 306, Version C, and proposed
amendments, responded to questions and comments on behalf of the
sponsor, Senator Seekins.
ACTION NARRATIVE
TAPE 04-86, SIDE A
Number 0001
CHAIR LESIL McGUIRE called the House Judiciary Standing
Committee meeting to order at 12:40 p.m. Representatives
McGuire, Anderson, Samuels, Gara, and Gruenberg were present at
the call to order.
SB 306 - NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE
Number 0108
CHAIR McGUIRE announced that the only order of business would be
CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 306(FIN) am, "An Act relating to the
practice of naturopathic medicine; and providing for an
effective date."
Number 0139
REPRESENTATIVE GARA moved to adopt the proposed House committee
substitute (HCS) for SB 306, Version 23-LS1572\C, Mischel,
5/10/04, as the work draft. There being no objection, Version C
was before the committee.
CHAIR McGUIRE directed attention to page 2, lines 28 and 29, and
said she has spoken with the sponsor about changing the dates to
"December 1, 2004". She said she wants to ensure that there
would be enough time for the task force to present its written
findings and recommendations to the legislature before being
terminated and that nothing about it would be construed as being
political. She noted that even if a legislative member of the
task force did not get reelected, he/she would still serve out
his/her legislative term until a new legislator is sworn in.
Number 0215
BRIAN HOVE, Staff to Senator Ralph Seekins, Alaska State
Legislature, sponsor, on behalf of Senator Seekins, indicated
agreement.
Number 0220
REPRESENTATIVE GRUENBERG made a motion to adopt Amendment 1, to
change the dates on page 2, lines 28 and 29, to "December 1,
2004". He then objected for the purpose of discussion. He
suggested that the report and recommendations be due on December
1, 2004, but that the task force not be terminated until perhaps
February, 1, 2004. This would give the task force an
opportunity to assist the legislature after its report and
recommendations are submitted. He indicated that he would alter
his motion by bifurcating it.
Number 0260
REPRESENTATIVE GRUENBERG made a motion to adopt [an amended]
Amendment 1, to change the date on page 2, line 28, to "December
1, 2004". There being no objection, Amendment 1 [as amended]
was adopted.
Number 0275
REPRESENTATIVE GRUENBERG made a motion to adopt Amendment 2, to
change the date on page 2, line 29, to "February 1, 2005".
MR. HOVE indicated that he didn't have a problem with that
change.
Number 0291
CHAIR McGUIRE asked whether there were any objections to
Amendment 2. There being none, Amendment 2 was adopted.
Number 0319
REPRESENTATIVE GRUENBERG made a motion to adopt Amendment 3, to
delete the word, "State" from page 2, line 16. He said that the
official name of the organization listed in that provision does
not include the word, "State". There being no objection,
Amendment 3 was adopted.
CHAIR McGUIRE offered Mr. Hove the assistance of her staff
during the formation of the task force.
REPRESENTATIVE GRUENBERG made a motion to "extend our thanks,
for the cooperation and assistance, to the [Senate Judiciary
Standing Committee].
MR. HOVE said, "Likewise."
REPRESENTATIVE GRUENBERG made a motion to thank the chair and
vice chair of the House Judiciary Standing Committee.
CHAIR McGUIRE thanked members of the minority for consistently
making a quorum.
Number 0436
REPRESENTATIVE GRUENBERG moved to report the proposed House
committee substitute (HCS) for SB 306, Version 23-LS1572\C,
Mischel, 5/10/04, as amended, out of committee with individual
recommendations and the accompanying fiscal notes. There being
no objection, HCS CSSB 306(JUD) was reported from the House
Judiciary Standing Committee.
