ACTION NARRATIVE
TAPE 93-14, SIDE A
Number 015
VICE-CHAIR DAVIS called the House Transportation Committee
Meeting to order at 5:05 p.m. He referred to the only item
before the committee, HB 240, and asked Representative Moses
to provide his testimony before the committee regarding this
legislation.
Number 020
REPRESENTATIVE CARL MOSES stated that HB 240 would allow for
slot and video machine gaming on board the state ferry
vessels as a revenue generator for the Alaska Marine Highway
System. He mentioned that slot and video style machines
would be placed in a restricted area of the vessel and would
afford greater recreational diversion for adults. In
licensing the Alaska Marine Highway System to operate gaming
machines, Representative Moses indicated that he did not
propose this to be a forerunner of greater gaming activity,
such as casino style operations. He said slot and video
type machines have a good track record of security and
management control. According to Representative Moses, the
bill was drafted to allow for the ferry system to set up and
operate the program itself, or for the ferry system to
contract out the operation if it desired.
Number 062
REPRESENTATIVE MULDER asked what games this would include.
REPRESENTATIVE MOSES replied that it applied to slot and
video machines.
Number 079
REPRESENTATIVE DAVIS referred to the fiscal note and noted
that the note itself did not include the potential for
revenue generation.
Number 093
REPRESENTATIVE MACKIE moved for passage of HB 240 from
committee with individual recommendations.
Number 106
CHAIR DAVIS adjourned the meeting at 5:15 p.m.
