ACTION NARRATIVE
3:21:31 PM
CHAIR JONATHAN KREISS-TOMKINS called the House State Affairs
Standing Committee meeting to order at 3:21 p.m. Representatives
Kreiss-Tomkins, Tuck, LeDoux, and Birch were present at the call
to order. Representatives Knopp and Wool arrived as the meeting
was in progress.
^APPROVAL OF INTRODUCTION OF POTENTIAL COMMITTEE LEGISLATION
APPROVAL OF INTRODUCTION OF POTENTIAL COMMITTEE LEGISLATION
3:22:24 PM
CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS announced that within the first order of
business he would entertain a motion relating to a
constitutional amendment of the Alaska Permanent Fund (APF)
relating to the presentation offered last week.
3:22:39 PM
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK moved that the resolution, "Proposing
amendments to the Constitution of the State of Alaska relating
to the Alaska permanent fund, establishing the earnings reserve
account, and relating to appropriations from the Alaska
permanent fund" be introduced as a House State Affairs Standing
Committee resolution.
REPRESENTATIVE BIRCH objected.
3:23:10 PM
The committee took an at-ease from 3:23 p.m. to 3:24 p.m.
3:24:05 PM
REPRESENTATIVE BIRCH maintained his objection because he is
uncomfortable with locking up a vote in the constitution as it
relates to fund reserves and forward-looking revenues.
3:24:29 PM
A roll call vote was taken. Representatives Tuck, Wool, LeDoux,
and Kreiss-Tomkins voted in favor of introducing a resolution
titled, "Proposing amendments to the Constitution of the State
of Alaska relating to the Alaska permanent fund, establishing
the earnings reserve account, and relating to appropriations
from the Alaska permanent fund" as a House State Affairs
Standing Committee Resolution. Representative Birch voted
against it. Therefore, the introduction of the above resolution
as a House State Affairs Standing Committee Resolution was
adopted by a vote of 4-1.
HB 83-TEACHERS & PUB EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS
3:25:06 PM
CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS announced that the next order of business
would be CS FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 83(L&C), "An Act relating to new
defined benefit tiers in the public employees' retirement system
and the teachers' retirement system; providing certain employees
an opportunity to choose between the defined benefit and defined
contribution plans of the public employees' retirement system
and the teachers' retirement system; and providing for an
effective date." [Before the committee was CSHB 83, Version T.]
3:26:33 PM
REPRESENTATIVE BIRCH noted that he does not support this
legislation and voiced his concern about the cost and financial
impact this will cause downstream, and the state already has a
$7 billion to $8 billion or more liability under the PERS/TERS
program from the last defined benefit (DB) program. He pointed
out that a fiscal note had yet to be offered even though the
committee was advised that, at some point in time, there would
be a follow-up fiscal note.
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK offered his appreciation for this
legislation because "we're just not getting the bang for our
buck for investing into training, investing in our employees,
letting them have careers here in the State of Alaska on behalf
of the people of Alaska." State employees are not eligible to
pay into social security, there is virtually no retirement in
defined contribution (DC). It is well known there are many
fees, hidden fees, and transactions that take place without a
person's knowledge and they are charged for that. He pointed
out the importance of providing something stable, something that
is secure, and people can rely on, is very important in building
a good solid workforce in Alaska. In response to Representative
Birch, advised that the fiscal note "to do something like this"
will require an expensive actuarial report so it is appropriate
to wait until the legislation is before the House Finance
Committee before that exercise takes place.
REPRESENTATIVE KNOPP said that he joins Representative Tuck
because "we're all a little scared about defined benefits due to
where the state ended up with the last one we had." When
looking at the employees who do not have SBS programs and social
security, he opined that it is a valid argument because he never
wants the state to return to the situation "where we were at."
The actuarial must be performed in order to know whether it
should move forward. He opined that the state has learned from
history, he wants to be sure the program is sustainable, and he
supports moving the bill out of committee.
3:29:40 PM
REPRESENTATIVE WOOL opined that by removing benefits from the
retirement package, the results are that it is hard to recruit
and retain. Similarly, prohibition did not work, and
potentially putting the benefits back in is a step in the right
direction, he pointed out. Many people testified that it is
hard for teachers, fire fighters, and so forth, and that
recruitment and retention is a big problem in Alaska currently,
he remarked.
3:30:32 PM
REPRESENTATIVE BIRCH referred to the previous testimonies from a
union business agent and from the folks within the system
advancing the DB program and noted that the question was asked
whether there are any private sector employers moving toward a
DB program. The answer, he recalled, was that no private sector
employers are moving toward a DB program and he is not aware
that this is at all commonplace. While, he said, he understands
the issues of recruiting and retention, but putting a package
together that the state cannot afford is not reasonable. Also,
he pointed out, it is not reasonable for the committee to vote
on something with an undetermined cost and without a fiscal
note.
3:31:49 PM
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX noted that with respect to private
employers, there is a good chance their employee is earning at
least a slightly bit more money than a state employee earns.
Even more importantly, she stressed, a person working for a
private employer has the ability to pay into social security and
they own that certainty at retirement. Those individuals
working for the State of Alaska do not receive a social security
benefit, she pointed out.
3:32:32 PM
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK advised that he is part of a multi-employer
DB plan with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
(IBEW), which means every time the union signs up a new
contractor, the contractor is actually entering into a DB plan.
The contractor can see and realize the benefit of the collective
effort of everyone pooling their money together and being able
to offer benefits that by itself would not be able to offer, and
that is just one example of why people are entering into multi-
employer plans. Also, he expressed, a downward spiral is taking
place all over America wherein less and less people have
retirement programs they can rely upon, thereby, becoming a
burden on everyone else. In the event the legislature is
willing to sustain livelihoods and allow people to retire with
dignity without being a burden on society, it is imperative that
it take place as a collective effort. Representative Tuck put
forth that for all of the teachers, fire fighters, police
officers, Department of Fish & Game (DF&G) employees, and so
forth, it would be nice to have collective security for these
employees.
3:34:03 PM
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK moved to report CSHB 83(L&C), labeled 30-
LS0315\T, out of committee with individual recommendations and
the accompanying fiscal notes.
REPRESENTATIVE BIRCH objected.
3:34:22 PM
A roll call vote was taken. Representatives Tuck, Knopp, Wool,
LeDoux, and Kreiss-Tomkins voted in favor of passing CSHB 83 out
of committee. Representative Birch voted against it.
Therefore, CSHB 83(STA) was reported out of the House State
Affairs Standing Committee by a vote of 5-1.
SCR 17-APRIL 2018:SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH
3:34:54 PM
CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS announced that the next order of business
would be SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 17, Proclaiming April
2018 as Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
3:35:10 PM
CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS opened public testimony on SCR 17. After
ascertaining no wished to testify, he closed public testimony on
SCR 17.
3:35:37 PM
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX moved to report SCR 17, labeled 30-
LS1267\A, out of committee with individual recommendations and
the accompanying fiscal notes. There being no objection, SCR 17
moved from the House State Affairs Standing Committee.
HB 407-APOC; CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS/REPORTING
Contains Discussions of HB 158
3:35:57 PM
CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS announced that the next order of business
would be HOUSE BILL NO. 407, "An Act relating to the duties of
the Alaska Public Offices Commission; clarifying the limits on
making, accepting, and reporting certain cash campaign
contributions; relating to campaign finance reporting by certain
groups; relating to the identification of certain campaign
communications; increasing the time the Alaska Public Offices
Commission has to respond to a request for an advisory opinion;
repealing a reporting requirement for certain contributions;
relating to propositions and initiative proposals; and providing
for an effective date."
3:36:39 PM
CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS offered that he had an amendment drafted
although he was unsure whether it would be offered.
REPRESENTATIVE BIRCH asked for confirmation that the proposal
would eliminate the duplicative reporting requirement for groups
where individuals were expected to report at the same time as
the group.
3:37:31 PM
HEATHER HEBDEN, Executive Director, Alaska Public Offices
Commission (APOC), Department of Administration (DOA), referred
to HB 407, Sec. 9. [AS 15.13.040(k), page 5, line 18,] and
answered that that is her understanding. Sec. 9 was repealed,
the requirement for contributors to report the same information
that is currently being reported by the valid initiative group.
REPRESENTATIVE BIRCH commented that he appreciates that insight
as it will solve some problems.
3:38:05 PM
CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS referred to HB 407, Sec. 3. [AS
15.13.040(g), page 3, lines 4-23], and noted that currently, any
group, even if they only spend $1, must register with APOC and
go through all of the paperwork. He opined that Sec. 3
establishes a $2,500 floor and any group that spends less than
that amount does not have to go through the whole APOC process.,
similar to a candidate who spends less than $5,000 "does not
have to do that." Given that this came out of the Senate
Finance Subcommittee process, he asked where the $2,500 amount
came from, and whether there is any sort of rhyme or reason for
$2,500 as opposed to $5,000 or $2,000.
MS. HEBDEN opined that the $2,500 was actually derived from the
similar language that applies to a candidate's campaign. A
candidate's campaign is not in a calendar year, it typically
straddles two calendar years given that candidates are able to
file a letter of intent up to 18 months from the election.
Thereby, limiting it for a group is very similar to the
candidate, except it is based on a calendar year so
theoretically, she offered, they could still expend up to $5,000
during one election cycle.
3:39:42 PM
CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS surmised that effectively the amount is
being pro-rated down since the group would be a calendar year,
and $5,000 was cut in half which leaves $2,500, and that is the
origin for that number.
MS. HEBDEN answered in the affirmative.
3:40:09 PM
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX referred to HB 407, Sec. 8. [AS
15.13.374(c), page 5, lines 14-17], which read as follows:
(c) Within 10 business [SEVEN] days after
receiving a request satisfying the requirements of (b)
of this section, the executive director of the
commission shall recommend a draft advisory opinion
for the commission to consider at its next meeting.
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX asked whether it had been determined that
changing this from seven days to ten business days would make it
almost two weeks before an advisory opinion was issued.
MS. HEBDEN answered that Representative LeDoux was correct, it
would extend it to ten business days rather than seven days.
3:40:45 PM
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX noted that in the past it read that "the
executive director of the commission shall recommend a draft
advisory opinion." She asked whether the candidate or the
person requesting the advisory opinion would receive a copy of
that draft, and whether the draft advisory opinion is public.
MS. HEBDEN noted that she was unsure she understood the
question.
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX offered a scenario wherein Candidate A
requested an advisory opinion about something, and this
legislation read: "the executive director of the commission
shall recommend a draft advisory opinion for the commission at
its next meeting." She asked whether that draft advisory
opinion would be sent to Candidate A.
MS. HEBDEN answered that the draft advisory opinion would be
issued to the person requesting the opinion.
3:42:01 PM
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX offered concern that if a candidate is in
the midst of a campaign and requests an advisory opinion, it
might take a couple of weekends for the draft advisory opinion
to be issued and that is a long time in a campaign season.
MS. HEBDEN responded that it does extend the timeframe; however,
that does not mean APOC could not issue the draft advisory
opinion earlier. Generally, she said, advisory opinion requests
are not being requested when leading up to election day. The
majority of the time, the requestor of an opinion previously had
some type of interaction with APOC staff and they'll have a
general idea of the staff's interpretation that will be issued,
she explained. This is just the formal process of getting it
before the commission and following after 10 business days gives
staff a little more time to research the issue as well as confer
and have the draft reviewed by the Department of Law (DOL), she
advised.
3:43:50 PM
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX remarked that she is still uncomfortable
with that explanation because that does not mean that APOC would
issue the draft in ten business days and she is uncomfortable
with that portion of the bill.
3:44:32 PM
CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS referred to HB 407, Sec. 7. [AS
15.13.090(g), page 4, lines 27-31 and page 5, lines 1-12], and
asked Ms. Hebden to describe the substance of current law as to
the requirement for "paid for by" identifiers.
MS. HEBDEN responded that under current law, the requirement for
"paid for by" identifiers for written communication is fairly
vague. It provides that the "paid for by" identifier must be
easily discernable, and this leaves it to a broad
interpretation, and it comes up quite frequently. She said that
APOC received recent complaints about board signs on the side of
the road with "paid for by" identifiers that were placed on a
file label. In essence, she explained, a person would have to
stop their car, get out of the car, and actually approach the
sign in order actually read any of the information. The current
language in the bill would simply provide a better standard and
more guidance for filers, she offered.
CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS asked whether APOC has promulgated
regulations or established advisory opinions to provide a more
detailed direction to campaigns as far as how to comply with the
"easily discernable" standard.
MS. HEBDEN answered that there is regulation that applies to the
"paid for by" identifier, although it does not provide much more
specificity. The regulation requires that it be visible,
separate from the text of the communication, and be of
sufficient size to be read by a viewer.
3:46:47 PM
CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS asked that if someone had a big sign by the
side of the road and scribbled on a file label on the bottom
corner the "paid for by" identifier, whether that file label
"paid for by" identifier would be in violation of the standard
that currently exists.
MS. HEBDEN replied that that was a good question.
CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS offered that if someone filed a complaint
about that sign, whether APOC would find it to be in violation.
MS. HEBDEN responded that if the file label contained all of the
correct language, "it very well could be considered
substantially compliant and APOC would not find a violation.
3:47:40 PM
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK requested clarification that she was saying
that as a person is driving down the road, a person must be able
to read the "paid for by" identifier, depending on the speed of
the vehicle.
MS. HEBDEN answered that that is just an example and she does
not know that that is necessarily the standard.
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK referred to HB 47, Sec. 7, [AS 15.13.090(g),
page 4, lines 28-29], which read as follows:
(g) A "paid for by" identifier for a printed
communication is clearly identified and easily
discernible ...
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK asked for clarification that that standard
is unknown.
MS. HEBDEN answered that currently, the standard is that it be
"easily discernable." The language before the committee aims to
add more specificity by setting a standard font size based on
the size of the communication, she advised.
3:48:37 PM
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK said that he knows there are Alaska
Department of Transportation (DOT) highway standard signs and
depending upon the speed of the vehicle -- and those signs are
pretty huge, for example, a stop sign, and the sign must be able
to be seen from a certain distance. He asked whether it is
really a concern for drivers to be able to see the "paid for by"
identifier.
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX said she echoes the same thoughts as
Representative Tuck because if it is important to someone, and
the information is on the sign, the person can get out of their
car to look at the sign. She asked whether the committee has to
micro-manage the font size, and answered, "I don't think so."
REPRESENTATIVE KNOPP opined that the signs are not supposed to
be placed within 600 feet of the right-of-way anyway, and he
can't see that far, so he is not sure whether font size is a big
issue. He asked whether that was in statute.
MS. HEBDEN (audio difficulties) regulate the placement of the
sign, only the content of the sign. She reiterated that the
billboard was simply an example of the "paid for by" identifier
questions as one of APOC's number one complaints. It is the
"low-hanging fruit" that the public sees, and this is meant to
benefit the filers, she advised.
3:50:34 PM
REPRESENTATIVE WOOL said that as Representative Knopp mentioned,
signs are not supposed to be near the road, but everyone knows
that they are. He said, "If this 10 percent rule, that if a
sign is bigger than 2 feet by 3 feet, then the 'paid for by'
can't be any smaller than 10 percent. So, I can see a big 4 by
8 sign that has 3 letters on it, 'JKT' each 3.5 feet, then the
'paid for by' has to be 10 percent of 3.5 feet with each font.
That's pretty big." It is one thing if a person receives
something in the mail but driving down the highway at 55 mph is
another thing, he said.
MS. HEBDEN replied that she understands that 10 percent of the
sign might be big in certain cases. She reiterated that it is
not necessarily the size of it, it is simply setting some sort
of standard beyond "easily discernable."
REPRESENTATIVE WOOL said that he noticed that the bill lists a
font size for the smaller sign and commented that this all
appears overly complicated.
3:52:55 PM
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX moved to adopt Conceptual Amendment 1 to
HB 407, to delete Sec 7 in its entirety [page 4, lines 27-31 and
page 5, lines 1-12].
CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS objected for purposes of discussion.
3:53:21 PM
REPRESENTATIVE KNOPP offered that he was unsure he could support
a complete deletion of Sec. 7, if it removes any requirement for
posting "paid for by" identifiers. Although, he said, he would
support a conceptual amendment that deletes the 10 percent, as
that is the actual issue. He added that he would support an
amendment "if it was nominal, no smaller than two-inch letters"
on the sign, and that deleting Sec. 7 in its entirety would
remove that entire requirement.
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX explained that Sec.7 is an entirely new
section in the law and there is another section somewhere in the
statute that requires the "paid for by" identifier. Therefore,
removing this section will not open the door to various types of
campaign literature with "paid for by" identifiers. Conceptual
Amendment 1 removes micromanaging "this thing down to the enth
degree," she explained.
REPRESENTATIVE KNOPP offered his support if Representative
LeDoux's statement could be verified.
MS. HEBDEN stated that Representative LeDoux is correct, under
current AS 15.13.090 "paid for by" is required, and Sec. 7
simply adds a new subsection clarifying "easily discernable."
3:55:26 PM
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK commented that he understands why Sec. 7 was
included in HB 407, in that there are probably many complaints
that APOC receives and streamlining it for the agency would
probably assist the agency. Although, he said, he is a bit
leery on some of this language and referred to Sec. 7, AS
15.13.090(g)(1), page 4, lines 30-31, which read as follows:
(1) smaller than 24 inches by 36 inches in
size or that includes a video component, the "paid for
by" identifier is
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK commented that he was unsure how to get to
12 points on a video, and some of this language could be
improved upon, so he supports Conceptual Amendment 1. He asked
Ms. Hebden whether APOC has the authority to create a policy
through regulation.
MS. HEBDEN answered that APOC does have the authority through
regulation.
3:56:51 PM
CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS withdrew his objection. There being no
objection, Conceptual Amendment 1 to HB 407 was adopted.
3:57:02 PM
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX moved to adopt Conceptual Amendment 2 to
HB 407, and delete Sec. 8, which has the effect of returning to
7 days rather than 10 business days.
CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS objected.
3:57:30 PM
REPRESENTATIVE KNOPP offered concern regarding the ten business
days requirement because by including the weekends, it totals
two weeks. Yesterday, Ms. Hebden stated that APOC gives
priority to time-sensitive requests, yet there is an amount of
overtime that could be required when addressing these requests
within seven days, he said. Ms. Hebden also mentioned that
sometimes legal opinions and so forth are quite time-consuming
and it puts her staff in somewhat of a bind, he said.
3:58:33 PM
REPRESENTATIVE WOOL suggested a compromise of seven business
days as it may allow the agency enough time to respond to
requests.
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX related that if she can get the vote,
she'll take seven business days.
CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS responded that he would be amenable to
seven business days because there is value in this section, and
it gives APOC a bit more flexibility. For cleanliness of
process, he asked whether Representative LeDoux would be
comfortable withdrawing Conceptual Amendment 2 and offering a
new Conceptual Amendment 3.
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX withdrew Conceptual Amendment 2.
3:59:17 PM
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX moved to adopt Conceptual Amendment 3 to
HB 407, [AS 15.13.374(c), page 5, line 14], delete "10 business"
and insert "7 business."
CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS objected for purposes of discussion.
3:59:53 PM
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK said that while he realizes this is a policy
call, APOC came to the legislature in good faith with some cost-
saving measures. He reminded the committee that the employees
at APOC work hard, especially during campaign season, and are
swamped with all sorts of inquiries that include:
investigations, reporting, answering to the public, and so
forth. He commented that ten business days is reasonable
because when people run for office, typically they have a
campaign plan and hopefully they will present their questions
"way ahead of time." Although, he said, if it is the will of
the committee to go with seven business days, he said he guesses
that is a good compromise.
CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS noted that seven business days may be the
sweet spot for the committee.
4:01:12 PM
REPRESENTATIVE WOOL asked Ms. Hebden to offer her comments and
pointed out that APOC's staff has been cut.
MS. HEBDEN responded that she would be happy with seven business
days because she appreciates this legislation moving forward.
Those extra few days would help to provide more time to perform
a little more research as far as performing a thorough analysis
of any issues and possibly help the Department of Law (DOL) as
well, she said.
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK suggested that if Conceptual Amendment 3 is
adopted and the legislation moves to the next committee, that
Ms. Hebden calculate the average amount of employee hours spent
per inquiry in order to offer the House Finance Committee more
workload information when determining whether seven business
days would actually help APOC as much as it would prefer.
4:02:45 PM
REPRESENTATIVE WOOL noted that the committee had gone back and
forth on the number of days and related that seven business days
could be nine days total with the weekend, or it could be simply
ten calendar days.
REPRESENTATIVE KNOPP related that he would not support
Representative Wool in that request because somewhere along the
line the interpretation will get back to ten business days and
APOC will be back at 14 days. There will be no grey areas if
the committee is specific with seven business days going
forward.
4:03:51 PM
CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS withdrew his objection. There being no
objection to changing 10 business days to seven business day,
Conceptual Amendment 3 to HB 407 was adopted.
4:04:16 PM
The committee took a brief at-ease.
4:04:41 PM
CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS announced he had an amendment which would
be distributed to committee members and explained that HB 158 is
sponsored by Representative Eastman, which this committee heard
last year. Basically, he explained, it deletes statutes that
APOC is not currently following, and he recently realized that
the committee had heard this APOC cleanup bill, and that this
bill is "sitting in Finance."
4:05:38 PM
CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS moved to adopt Amendment 4, labeled 30-
LS1525\D.1, Bullard, 4/4/18, which read as follows:
Page 1, line 1, following "An Act":
Insert "relating to the location of offices for
the Alaska Public Offices Commission and the locations
at which certain statements and reports filed with the
commission are made available;"
Page 1, following line 8:
Insert a new bill section to read:
"* Section 1. AS 15.13.020(j) is amended to read:
(j) The commission shall establish a central
[AN] office [, WHICH MAY BE CALLED A REGIONAL OFFICE,
IN EACH SENATE DISTRICT IN THE STATE] to keep on file
for public inspection copies of all reports filed with
the commission [BY CANDIDATES FOR STATEWIDE OFFICE AND
BY CANDIDATES FOR LEGISLATIVE OFFICE IN THAT DISTRICT;
HOWEVER, WHERE ONE MUNICIPALITY CONTAINS MORE THAN ONE
HOUSE DISTRICT, ONLY ONE COMMISSION OFFICE SHALL BE
ESTABLISHED IN THAT MUNICIPALITY. THE REGIONAL OFFICE
SHALL MAKE ALL FORMS AND PERTINENT MATERIAL AVAILABLE
TO CANDIDATES. ALL REPORTS SHALL BE FILED BY
CANDIDATES, GROUPS, AND INDIVIDUALS DIRECTLY WITH THE
COMMISSION'S CENTRAL DISTRICT OFFICE. THE COMMISSION
SHALL ENSURE THAT COPIES OF ALL REPORTS BY STATEWIDE
AND LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATES IN EACH SENATE DISTRICT ARE
FORWARDED PROMPTLY TO THAT DISTRICT OR REGIONAL
OFFICE]."
Page 1, line 9:
Delete "Section 1"
Insert "Sec. 2"
Renumber the following bill sections accordingly.
Page 5, following line 17:
Insert new bill sections to read:
"* Sec. 10. AS 24.45.091 is amended to read:
Sec. 24.45.091. Publication of reports. Copies of
the statements and reports filed under this chapter
shall be made available to the public at the
commission's central office and on the commission's
Internet website [, THE OFFICE OF THE LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR, THE LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE LIBRARY OF THE
LEGISLATIVE AFFAIRS AGENCY, AND AT THE COMMISSION'S
DISTRICT OFFICES PRESCRIBED IN AS 15.13.020(j)] as
soon as practicable after each reporting period.
* Sec. 11. AS 24.45.111(b) is amended to read:
(b) The commission shall preserve the statements
and reports required to be filed under this chapter
for a period of six years from the date of filing.
Copies [IF THE COMMISSION'S CENTRAL OFFICE IS NOT IN
THE STATE CAPITAL, COPIES] of all statements and
reports filed under this chapter shall be maintained
in the commission's central [AN] office and be made
available on the commission's Internet website
[ESTABLISHED BY THE COMMISSION IN THE STATE CAPITAL OR
IN THE OFFICE OF THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR]. "
Renumber the following bill sections accordingly.
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK objected.
4:05:54 PM
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK remarked that Amendment 4 to HB 407 is
actually HB 158, and he was unsure there was ever an amendment
deadline on this bill. He requested an explanation of Amendment
4, [HB 158].
4:06:42 PM
REPRESENTATIVE DAVID EASTMAN, Alaska State Legislature,
explained that contained within the statutes are certain
statutory requirements for APOC to accomplish, except the
legislature never provided the funding. Therefore, he pointed
out, it is not within APOC's means to accomplish those
requirements and short of a significant increase in funding from
this legislature, APOC will continue to not accomplish those
requirements. Amendment 4 removes the requirement that APOC
maintain an office in each of the Senate districts, and the
amendment does not result in the closure of any offices because
APOC has not followed that particular statute. It is not a
physical change; it is a change to the statute. There is no
reference to using the internet currently in statute and
Amendment 4 adds a reference that the legislature does want APOC
to have a website, he said.
4:07:42 PM
REPRESENTATIVE KNOPP surmised that Representative Eastman's
intent is, "the commission shall establish a central office" but
the language is not specific as to where that office will be
located. He asked whether it will be one APOC office or
multiple offices somewhere. He further asked whether APOC
currently maintains a central office in Juneau or Anchorage
where most of this retention is done that is mentioned in the
amendment.
REPRESENTATIVE EASTMAN answered that the Amendment 4 reads that
APOC should at least have one office, and it currently maintains
an Anchorage office which would satisfy that requirement. There
is not a statutory requirement as to where that APOC office
should be located, and if APOC decided to move to Fairbanks at
some point, it could. He added that the amendment does not add
any new requirements; it simply removes the requirement that
APOC maintain more than one office.
4:09:05 PM
REPRESENTATIVE KNOPP surmised that the amendment removes the
requirement that APOC have an office in every Senate district.
REPRESENTATIVE EASTMAN answered that Representative Knopp was
correct.
REPRESENTATIVE KNOPP asked that if APOC currently maintained a
Juneau and a Fairbanks office, whether it would require the
closure of those offices so APOC would have only a central
office.
REPRESENTATIVE EASTMAN answered that this amendment simply
requires that APOC maintain at least one office, if it wanted
more offices and the legislature appropriated the funds, it
could open more offices.
4:09:45 PM
CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS asked Ms. Hebden to comment on HB 158 and
Amendment 4, and whether APOC would characterize this as basic
statute cleanup by bringing those statutes into alignment with
APOC's practices.
MS. HEBDEN described HB 158 as a statutory cleanup that would
codify APOC's current agency practices. It is not interpreted
as requiring a closure of an office, but rather to simply not
have an office in each Senate district, which it does not at
this point, she said.
4:10:57 PM
CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS deferred to the will of the committee on
this as it was a "late breaking idea" on his part to have some
statutory cleanup performed while a vehicle was available.
4:11:06 PM
REPRESENTATIVE WOOL commented that Amendment 4 will "take APOC
off the state's most wanted list of breaking the rules" because
APOC does not currently maintain an office in every Senate
district. This amendment "would sort of cleanup their act a
little bit," he said.
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX asked that at the time APOC was created
whether it ever had an office in every Senate district.
MS. HEBDEN opined that in the early years it contracted with
local municipal clerk's offices to provide APOC forms and that
type of assistance to filers. Given the rise in technology,
most of the APOC filings take place online and it is not
necessary to have forms on hand for filers, she explained.
REPRESENTATIVE KNOPP advised that he will support Amendment 4.
4:12:32 PM
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK removed his objection on Amendment. There
being no objection, Amendment 4 was adopted.
4:12:52 PM
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK noted that he may offer an amendment on the
floor of the House of Representatives or in the House Finance
Committee, regarding a provision where when "you get down to the
24-hour reporting," if there are any contributions over $250, a
candidate must report that amount. He opined that there is an
anomaly there, whereas if someone is doing an "in-kind
contribution" to their own campaign ... he opined that the
reason for that $250 report is to see any undue influence taking
place at the very end of the campaign. Except, he pointed out,
campaign limitations are not placed on the candidates
themselves, they can donate any amount to their campaign, so how
does a person unduly influence themselves. He said the
potential amendment would be with regard to when a candidate has
an in-kind contribution or even a donation to a candidate's own
campaign, that as to the 24-hour reporting period, it is not
necessary to report that donation.
4:14:08 PM
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX asked whether a candidate could make a
donation to their own campaign within a certain period of time.
MS. HEBDEN answered that during the 33 days prior to the
election, the candidate is limited to contributing no more than
$5,000 to their own campaign.
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX surmised that a candidate can donate to
their own campaign up until the very end, the $5,000.
MS. HEBDEN answered that Representative Ledoux is correct.
4:15:38 PM
CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS opened public testimony on HB 407. After
ascertaining no one wished to testify, he closed public
testimony on HB 407.
4:15:52 PM
REPRESENTATIVE WOOL moved to report HB 407, labeled 30-LS1525\D,
as amended, out of committee with individual recommendations and
the accompanying fiscal notes. There being no objection, HB
407(STA) was moved from committee.
SB 163-DEFINITION OF COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLES
4:16:19 PM
CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS announced that the next order of business
would be CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 163(STA), "An Act relating to
commercial motor vehicles."
4:16:55 PM
CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS opened public testimony on SB 163.
4:17:07 PM
AVES THOMPSON, Executive Director, Alaska Trucking Association,
offered support for SB 163 as it helps clarify the statutes and
makes it easier for the trucking industry to understand and
comply with the statutes and regulations governing the
operations of the industry's businesses. This legislation
reduces the burden put on farmers and farm vehicles by removing
the 150-mile restriction on farmers transporting their "covered
farm vehicles" while in the conduct of their business and it
allows them to operate statewide. He noted that the legislation
does make clear that if farmers choose to enter the "for hire
world," they need to comply with the commercial vehicle rules
and regulations. This legislation provides certainty for more
carriers of passengers by clearly identifying school bus
operations. School buses are not considered commercial motor
vehicles while conducting school bus operations, but they will
be required to comply with commercial vehicle rules and
regulations should they engage in "for hire transport" other
than school bus operations. He related that this bill also
provides clarification for carriers transporting hazardous
materials in amounts that require a placard. The Alaska
Trucking Association urged the committee to consider these
changes favorably as the changes will provide valuable
clarifications, he said.
REPRESENTATIVE KNOPP noted that the Department of Transportation
& Public Facilities (DTPF) provided the committee with a copy of
the "farm plate mentioned in the bill," and opined that the
state does not currently register "implements, farm trackers,
whatever else may run down the road. We do motor vehicle, I
think, as well," and noted that registrations must be renewed
every two years with a price of $68. He asked, "Are we now
going to have to license hay wagons and anything else that we
pull? As you know, in the commercial world we get the
commercial plate which is -- doesn't expire, it's a permanent
plate. And we've move to -- started exempted vehicles eight
years old and older." He asked Mr. Thompson's thoughts on "this
licensing thing. Are we now having to license a lot of
implements that we never had to in the past?"
4:20:03 PM
MR. THOMPSON responded that that question is outside of his
expertise and noted that the Alaska Trucking Association is
looking more to the commercial vehicle safety regulations. It
could be that some vehicles might be required to be registered,
there are other truck-tractor, semi-trailer configurations that
even in the farm operation would be required to be registered,
he said.
4:20:46 PM
AMY SEITZ, Executive Director, Alaska Farm Bureau, offered
support for CSSB 163, and noted that Alaskan farmers and
ranchers must travel vast distances to reach their markets and
gather the supplies necessary to operate their farm or ranch.
She related that requiring farmers to operate their vehicles
under the commercial motor vehicle regulations for seasonal or
occasional use increases costs and burdens to the state's
farmers, and the current exemption of travel within 150 miles of
the farm is difficult because it restricts travel for access to
markets or supplies. Changing the 150-mile limit for the
exemption to statewide will clarify the issue for law
enforcement because it is currently not clear whether a farm
vehicle is within the 150-mile limit, she offered. She urged
the committee to support the passage of CSSB 163, to help ease
the restrictions of Alaska's farmers and their vehicles, and
also give clarity to law enforcement.
4:22:57 PM
CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS, after ascertaining no one wished to
testify, closed public testimony on CSSB 163.
4:23:08 PM
REPRESENTATIVE KNOPP asked the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV),
[Department of Administration], to answer the question with
regard to its intent as to the plates and whether there would be
a new requirement for licensing trailers and such. He commented
that if the Department of Transportation & Public Facilities
(DTPF) had an answer he would be glad to hear its response.
4:23:48 PM
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK commented that these regulations are new,
but the requirements are the same requirements because the only
change is the 150-mile limit change to 500-mile limit.
REPRESENTATIVE KNOPP said that that would be his question
because he was not aware Alaska had a farm plate in existence,
he thought it was a new application, so that was a
clarification.
4:24:35 PM
DANIEL BYRD, Chief, Commercial Vehicle Enforcement, Division of
Measurement Standards and Commercial Vehicle Enforcement,
Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (DTPF), advised
that currently the "Covered Farm Vehicle" must have a method to
identify the vehicle as a farm vehicle, which is the
registration. There is a farm plate used for vehicles that are
outside of the definition, but this bill would not change
anything as far as how vehicles are registered, or what vehicles
need to be registered. Typically, he offered, farm tractors and
equipment would not be registered by the DMV, but the DMV should
speak to that issue if there is still a question.
4:25:47 PM
REPRESENTATIVE WOOL moved to report CSSB 163, labeled 30-
GS2597\D, out of committee with individual recommendations and
the accompanying fiscal notes. There being no objection, CSSB
163(STA), moved from the House State Affairs Standing Committee.
4:26:37 PM
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business before the committee, the House
State Affairs Standing Committee meeting was adjourned at 4:27
