TAPE 04-51, SIDE A
Number 0001

Anderson, Dahlstrom, and Rokeberg were present at the call to
order. Representative Lynn arrived as the meeting was in
progress.
^CONFIRMATION HEARING(S)
^Alaska Labor Relations Agency
Number 0035
CHAIR ANDERSON announced that the first order of business would
be a confirmation hearing for the appointment of Gary Bader to
the Alaska Labor Relations Agency.
CHAIR ANDERSON, although no formal motion was made, asked if
there was any objection to forwarding Mr. Bader's name to the
joint session of the House and Senate for confirmation. There
being no objection, the confirmation of Mr. Bader was advanced
from House Labor and Commerce Standing Committee. Chair
Anderson requested that each member sign the confirmation
committee report. He noted that each member's signature does
not reflect the member's vote during the joint floor session.
SB 272-DEFERRED DEPOSIT ADVANCES (PAYDAY LOAN)
CHAIR ANDERSON announced that the final order of business would
be CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 272(FIN), "An Act relating to certain
monetary advances in which the deposit or other negotiation of
checks to pay the advances is delayed until a later date; and
providing for an effective date."
Number 0069
RICHARD SCHMITZ, Staff to Senator John Cowdery, Alaska State
Legislature, explained the changes to SB 272 on behalf of
Senator Cowdery who chairs the Senate Rules Committee, sponsor
of the bill. He noted that the only change to the bill was that
in the House Finance Committee the licensing fee was increased
to [$3,000], which the industry agreed with. He said this was
done to try to bring it more in line with the actual cost to the
department.
REPRESENTATIVE ROKEBERG asked Mr. Sniffen to point out any
differences in this version of the bill compared to the House
version.
Number 0149
CLYDE (ED) SNIFFEN, J.R., Assistant Attorney General,
Commercial/Fair Business Section, Civil Division (Anchorage),
Department of Law, replied that the version before the committee
is identical to the House version except for the financial
changes reported by Mr. Schmitz. There are still two rollovers,
a cap of $500, and a repayment plan is required, he said.
CHAIR ANDERSON closed public testimony.
Number 0212
REPRESENTATIVE ROKEBERG moved to report CSSB 272(FIN) out of
committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying
fiscal notes. There being no objection, CSSB 272 (FIN) was
