ACTION NARRATIVE
1:31:43 PM
CHAIR LESIL MCGUIRE called the Senate Judiciary Standing
Committee meeting to order at 1:31 p.m. Present at the call to
order were Senators Costello, Coghill, and Chair McGuire.
SB 51-UNIFORM INTER.CHILD SUPPORT;PARENTAGE
1:31:59 PM
CHAIR MCGUIRE announced the consideration of SB 51. "An Act
relating to the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, including
jurisdiction by tribunals of the state, registration and
proceedings related to support orders from other state
tribunals, foreign support orders, foreign tribunals, and
certain persons residing in foreign countries; relating to
determination of parentage of a child; and providing for an
effective date."
1:32:38 PM
CAROL BEECHER, Director, Child Support Services, Administrative
Services, Department of Revenue (DOR), introduced SB 51 on
behalf of the administration. She explained that the bill amends
the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA), which Alaska
passed into law in 1996. The law was amended in 2006 to add
definitions and clarifications. The 2008 amendments (UIFSA
2008), which are incorporated in SB 51. UIFSA 2008 will allow
U.S. children to receive child support when one party resides in
a different country. She noted that many countries do not
process child support orders in the absence of a treaty
obligation.
To provide some context for the bill, she explained that
Alaska's child support program is authorized under Title IV-D of
the Social Security Act and is matched with 66 percent federal
funds and 34 percent state funds. In FY2015 the federal match
was $19 million. In 2014 the Division of Child Support Services
collected approximately $112 million; 90 percent goes directly
to families and 10 percent goes to reimburse federal and state
government for welfare and foster care assistance.
The Uniform Interstate Family Support Act was written by the
Uniform Law Commission to provide a framework for dealing with
the enforcement of orders between states. Alaska passed UIFSA
into law in 1996 and all other jurisdictions had passed it by
1998. In 2007, the U.S. signed the Hague Convention
("Convention") on the international recovery of child support
and other forms of family maintenance. In 2008, the Uniform Law
Commission amended UIFSA to incorporate the changes mandated by
the Convention. In September 2014, Public Law 113-183, the
Preventing Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Families Act, was
signed into law. It requires that IV-D child support programs
pass UIFSA 2008 into law by July 1, 2015. Federal funding for
the IV-D Child Support Program is a condition of passage. To
ensure uniformity, the language of UIFSA 2008 may not be
amended. Once passed, the new section will not go into effect
until all jurisdictions have passed it. The treaty will then go
back through the congressional process for ratification and
thereafter go through the process in the Netherlands.
Currently, 12 states have enacted UIFSA 2008 and 20 states have
introduced legislation. The remaining states are in the process
of drafting the bills.
1:37:14 PM
SENATOR COSTELLO asked by what authority the federal government
can remove funding if the state doesn't pass UIFSA 2008.
STACY STEINBERG, Chief Assistant Attorney General, Civil
Division, Collections and Support Section, Department of Law
(DOL), explained that 42 U.S. Code 666(f) is the federal law
that says each state must pass and have in effect UIFSA 1996.
Public Law 113-183, which passed in September, amended that law
and requires each state to adopt UIFSA 2008 as a condition of
receiving federal funding for the state's child support program.
SENATOR COSTELLO expressed the wish that states had a more true
voice in regards to making such important changes without
risking the loss of federal funds.
1:39:03 PM
SENATOR COGHILL asked if the formula remains the same.
MS. BEECHER confirmed that's correct.
SENATOR COGHILL asked if the federal law works well with the
child support compact between states.
MS. BEECHER responded that she believes that UIFSA is the law
that states use when they interact on child support matters.
SENATOR COGHILL offered his understanding that the Uniform Law
Commission is trying to line up an international treaty.
MS. BEECHER clarified that once all the states have passed UIFSA
2008 Congress will ratify the treaty. Moreover, it is an
excellent vehicle for states to enforce child support,
particularly for children who reside in the U.S. and have a
parent in a foreign country.
SENATOR COGHILL asked if the state has input when the Uniform
Law Commission meets.
MS. STEINBERG answered yes. The commissioners met in 2007 or
2008 in Montana and a representative from the State of Alaska
attended and gave input. The commissioners reviewed the
procedural terms of the Convention that foreign countries agree
to and added a new article to UIFSA to specifically implement
the provisions of the Convention.
SENATOR COGHILL asked what the pro and con debate was in
Congress.
MS. STEINBERG said she wasn't aware of any pro and con debate,
but both the Senate and House unanimously passed the Preventing
Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Families Act, which requires
states to adopt UIFSA 2008. Ratification was done in 2010.
SENATOR COGHILL offered his understanding that this is a take it
or leave it decision.
MS. STEINBERG agreed; she added that she and Ms. Beecher were
available to answer questions now or after the meeting to
provide more input. She noted that she also provided members a
lot of information, including a copy of the Convention, to help
the committee understand the provisions and how it works with
child support.
1:43:58 PM
SENATOR MICCICHE joined the committee.
SENATOR COGHILL said he doesn't object to treaties, but they
make him nervous.
MS. STEINBERG offered to give a sectional analysis.
CHAIR MCGUIRE asked Ms. Steinberg to discuss the sections that
contain substantive changes.
1:48:09 PM
MS. STEINBERG told the committee that Sections 77 and Section 78
clarify the 2001 amendment to UIFSA that relates to making a
controlling order determination for child support. She continued
to review the substantive changes, starting with Section 79.
Section 79 amends AS 25.25 to add new sections:
Jurisdiction to modify child support order of foreign
country. Provides that when a foreign country no
longer has or refuses to exercise jurisdiction over a
child support modification, Alaska may act over
individuals subject to the personal jurisdiction of
the court without consent and even when persons are
not residents of this state and the order that is
issued will be controlling.
Procedure to register child support order of foreign
country for modification. Provides that a party or
child support enforcement agency can file a petition
to modify a foreign registration or at another time.
SENATOR COGHILL asked who the signatories are of the Hague
Convention. He specifically asked about Asian countries because
of the large Asian population in Alaska.
MS. STEINBERG replied about 30 companies, including the U.S.,
have signed on. She named them and confirmed that no Asian or
South American countries had signed on and ratified the
Convention.
1:53:13 PM
Section 80 amends AS 25.25.71 to remove the procedures
on parentage and creates definitions for sections
25.701 to 25.713 regarding initiating, registering,
contesting, enforcing, and modifying support orders.
Definitions include "application," "central
authority," "convention support order," "direct
request," "foreign central authority," "foreign
support agreement," and "United States central
authority."
Section 81 amends AS 25.25 by adding new sections:
Applicability. Provides that sections 25.701 to 25.713
only apply to child support proceedings under the
Hague Convention.
Relationship of child support services agency to
United States central authority. Provides that the
federal Department of Human Services has recognized
the Alaska child support services agency as the agency
that may act under the convention.
Initiation by child support services agency of support
proceeding under the convention. Specifies that the
Alaska child support services agency provides
enforcement services in child support proceedings to
establish, modify, and enforce child support in
foreign and domestic proceedings.
Direct request. Provides that an individual may
request to establish, modify, or enforce a child
support order under the applicable laws of the state,
but does not require the child support services agency
to provide assistance to the petitioner who is filing
the request. This section provides that the statutes
applying to the convention do not prohibit the use of
the simplified and expedited rules in Alaska law for
recognition and enforcement of foreign support orders.
Registration of convention support order. Provides the
necessary documents to register a foreign support
order including: the order and verification of its
enforceability in the country it came from, the total
arrears, and the due process rights of the respondent.
This section provides that the court does not have to
register an order if it finds that it would be
contrary to public policy and must promptly notify the
parties if the order is not registered.
Contest of registered convention support order.
References to statutes that apply to contested
registration of a support order and provides the
regulations for registering a support order under the
Hague Convention, specifically the timelines for
contesting registration and the basis for contesting
the registration.
Recognition and enforcement of registered convention
support order. Provides the circumstances under which
Alaska may refuse to register a support order that is
under the Hague Convention.
Partial enforcement. Provides that when one part of a
foreign order can be enforced and one part cannot the
court shall enforce the part that can be enforced.
Foreign support agreement. Provides the terms under
which a foreign support agreement can be recognized
and enforced in Alaska.
Modification of convention child support order.
Provides that an Alaska tribunal cannot modify a child
support order when the obligee is still a resident of
the foreign country where the order was issued unless
that obligee agrees that Alaska has jurisdiction, the
foreign court refuses to exercise jurisdiction, or the
order could not be registered because of a lack of
jurisdiction, fraud, or lack of authenticity of the
order in the foreign jurisdiction.
Personal information; limit on use. Personal
information under these section is only to be used for
the purposes for which it was gathered.
Record in original language; English translation.
Provides that a record of the court proceedings from
the foreign country must be in its original language
and if not in English must come with an English
translation.
Sections 82 through 84 makes conforming technical
changes.
Section 85 clarifies that uniformity is promoted and
encouraged.
Section 86 repeals AS 25.25.205(f), 25.25.206(c),
25.25.301(b), and 25.25.401(c). These sections address
spousal support. A new section, 25.25.281 will address
spousal support. See Section 25 of the bill.
Section 87 Applicability. Adds that the effective date
applies to proceedings that are started on or after
the effective date of this act to any action to
determine parentage, or register, recognize, modify,
or enforce an order or agreement.
Section 88 Transition provisions. Provides that the
Department of Revenue may adopt regulations to

addressing regulations, is effective immediately.
Section 91 Effective Date. The Act is effective July
1, 2015.
1:55:56 PM
SENATOR COGHILL asked if current statutory regulations will need
to be changed.
MS. STEINBERG replied none have been identified.
SENATOR COGHILL observed that the capacity for public comment on
regulations appears to be limited.
MS. STEINBERG replied there is a public comment period for
regulations. Responding to a further comment, she said there
isn't be much flexibility but the regulations that are in place
will probably be sufficient.
SENATOR COGHILL asked if this helps or hinders communication
between states and nations.
MS. STEINBERG replied UIFSA makes interstate enforcement of
collecting support much more efficient and effective. The goal
of the multilateral treaty is to extend that to foreign
countries.
2:01:14 PM
SENATOR COGHILL spoke to the importance of getting the original
order right.
MS. STEINBERG agreed, and added that the other goal in child
support enforcement is the requirement for all states to have a
uniform set of child support guidelines that can be easily
applied.
SENATOR COSTELLO asked how many Alaska children are involved in
child support services and how many have parents in foreign
countries.
MS. BEECHER advised that about 49,000 Alaska children are
currently in a child support case. Based on a sample survey,
about 42 percent have a parent who lives outside the U.S.
SENATOR COGHILL expressed interest in knowing how many are and
are not European.
MS. BEECHER responded that, based on the sample, a large
majority are German.
CHAIR MCGUIRE thanked the presenters for the work they do for
children.
2:04:11 PM
CHAIR MCGUIRE announced she would hold SB 51 for further
consideration.
SB 49-CIVIL LEGAL SERVICES FUND
2:04:29 PM
CHAIR MCGUIRE announced the consideration of SB 49. "An Act
allowing appropriations to the civil legal services fund from
court filing fees." She explained that she introduced this
legislation after getting involved with Alaska Legal Services
Corporation (ALSC) to help women who were victims of domestic
violence
Speaking as sponsor, she explained that she introduced the bill
in previous legislatures to look at funding Alaska Legal
Services from the punitive damages fund. The current bill
proposes taking 25 percent of the annual filing fees paid to the
Alaska Court System. She believes that ALSC should receive
adequate funding because it serves people who would otherwise
not have legal representation.
2:06:10 PM
NIKOLE NELSON, Executive Director, Alaska Legal Services
Corporation (ALSC), explained that ALSC is a nonprofit law firm
that has been providing free legal help for low-income Alaskans
for the past 45 years. Their mission is to ensure that everyone
is treated fairly in the justice system. ALSC provides free
legal help so people can protect their livelihoods, families,
health, and safety. They provide individual advice and
representation, self-help materials, community education, and
clinics. The work is done by regional staff attorneys in 11
offices statewide and a network of pro-bono volunteers.
She reviewed the types of cases and highlighted that last year
ALSC provided direct representation in 2,600 cases and served an
estimated 43,000 individuals through their website. An
additional 2,000 people attended self-help clinics and
workshops. She reported that a recent outcome study found that
ALSC was successful getting positive results for clients 86
percent of the time, and that there was a 5:1 return on the
funds invested in the program.
2:10:15 PM
MS. NELSON highlighted the problem that ALSC had to turn away
one person for each one it helped last year due to a lack of
resources. In 1984 ALSC's appropriation was $1.2 million to
serve a poverty population of about 40,000. Today the
appropriation is $550,000 and the poverty population is about
106,000. She urged the committee to help ensure that access to
justice is a reality for all Alaskans, not just those who can
afford an attorney. Passing SB 49 would allow the legislature to
appropriate up to 25 percent of the Court System filing fees
into the civil legal services fund. The legislature would then
have discretion to appropriate that amount each year to Alaska
Legal Services Corporation or other organizations providing free
legal aid to low-income Alaskans.
2:12:08 PM
SENATOR COGHILL asked what other funding ALSC receives,
including private sources.
MS. NELSON replied a variety of federal, state and private funds
make up the $4.2 million budget. ALSC receives funds from the
federal government, community partners, private fund raising and
foundation support.
SENATOR COGHILL asked how the federal government provides funds.
MS. NELSON explained that Congress makes an annual appropriation
to the national Legal Services Corporation and each state
receives a share based on its poverty population. Although
Alaska's poverty population is growing, the poverty population
in the Lower 48 is growing at a much higher rate so Alaska's
share of the appropriation is reduced.
SENATOR COGHILL asked how ALSC is connected to the federal Legal
Services Corporation.
MS. NELSON clarified that the Legal Services Corporation is not
a federal agency, but it receives an annual appropriation from
Congress and then disburses grants to recipients in each state
based on the poverty population in the particular state.
SENATOR COGHILL asked how much the Legal Services Corporation
receives from Congress on an annual basis.
MS. NELSON replied she didn't have that information; she only
knew what ALSC has received.
SENATOR COGHILL expressed concern that the state is already
paying for legal services through the Public Defender Agency and
the Office of Public Advocacy, but acknowledged that ALSC cases
cover a larger breadth. He said he appreciates and respects the
work that ALSC has done helping victims of domestic violence and
veterans, but he struggles with the time spent on larger social
questions like the Pebble Mine issue. "Sometimes we're actually
helping you sue the state. Sometimes the state is a bad actor; I
get it. Sometimes it's a larger social question; you don't get
me on that," he said.
MS. NELSON clarified that Alaska is not an outlier in receiving
federal grant monies and that ALSC is not duplicating legal work
of state agencies.
She further clarified that Alaska Legal Services Corporation did
not take a position on the merits of the Pebble Mine case. ALSC
filed an amicus brief when the case was before the Alaska
Supreme Court addressing the question of whether or not pro-bono
attorneys have to disclose all their finances. ALSC's position
was that it would be a barrier to getting private attorneys to
volunteer their time if it would require that they disclose all
their personal finances.
SENATOR COGHILL expressed appreciation for the explanation.
2:20:34 PM
SENATOR MICCICHE stated support for the merits of the bill and
clarified that ALSC only takes on civil cases. It's a pool that
isn't available elsewhere, he said.
SENATOR COGHILL expressed concern about the cost benefit of
taking cases to the Alaska Supreme Court and asked for help
putting it in context.
MS. NELSON replied ALSC takes on about 2,600 individual cases
each year and a very small number (perhaps one percent) go
before the Alaska Supreme Court. Examples of the cases at the
trial court level might include a victim of domestic violence
who was awarded custody of her children. If it's appealed the
next stop is the supreme court and ALSC has to follow it up to
ensure that the mother retains custody. There isn't anybody else
to stand in and preserve her rights. When any case is appealed,
the victim needs representation through the complicated
appellate system to preserve their rights.
SENATOR COGHILL expressed concern with establishing a funding
stream that is "free."
CHAIR MCGUIRE opened public testimony.
2:27:12 PM
ANDREW GAMBLE, Jr, representing himself, Juneau, Alaska, said
he's a Vietnam veteran speaking in support of SB 49. He shared
the story of Alaska Legal Services Corporation helping him when
he tried to settle his mother's estate. They returned his
quality of life.
2:31:31 PM
GERALD "SANDY" ROBERTS, representing himself, Juneau, Alaska,
testified in support of SB 49. He shared the story of being a
three-tour Vietnam veteran who was injured in the service. He
was reinjured years later but unable to get veteran benefits
because his records were lost or destroyed. If someone hadn't
finally suggested he go to the Alaska Legal Services Corporation
for help, he would probably be a veteran on the streets.
SENATOR COSTELLO thanked both veterans for their service to
their country.
2:37:22 PM
ROBBIN SMITH, representing herself, Anchorage, Alaska, testified
in support of SB 49. She shared that the Alaska Legal Services
Corporation gave her the courage to fight back against the
domestic violence in her life. They provided support and helped
her navigate the legal system to get a divorce and get custody
of her children.
2:40:08 PM
MARIE DARLIN, representative, AARP Alaska, Juneau, Alaska,
testified in support of SB 49. She noted the letter of support
in the packets that articulates AARP's support for having
alternative mechanisms for funding the Alaska Legal Services
Corporation. In particular, ALSC has a long, successful history
of service to older Alaskans.
2:41:29 PM
DENISE DANIELLO, Executive Director, Alaska Commission on Aging,
Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS), testified in
support of SB 49. She highlighted that seniors have unique
financial, health care, and social needs. Many live on a fixed
income and receive extensive help from ALSC. She informed the
committee that several years ago the commission and ALSC applied
for a grant through the U.S. Administration on Aging to provide
workshops for seniors to help establish wills, powers of
attorney, conservatorships, and guardianships. The money was
used to support travel for an ALSC attorney to go to communities
that didn't have an ALSC presence. Helping seniors gain access
to the civil justice system was greatly appreciated, she said.
2:43:30 PM
NANCY MEADE, General Counsel, Office of the Administrative
Director, Administrative Staff, Alaska Court System, introduced
herself.
SENATOR COSTELLO asked what impact the bill will have on the
Court System.
MS. MEADE replied the Court System does not anticipate a fiscal
impact should SB 49 pass. All the fees that are collected go
straight to the general fund and the court has no input
thereafter.
SENATOR COSTELLO asked how much the Court System collects in
filing fees.
MS. MEADE advised that the amount doesn't vary much from year to
year. In FY2014 the court collected $2,252,900; 25 percent of
that is $563,225. Looking back five years, 25 percent of the
totals range from $563,000 to $660,000. She noted that in
response to the state's fiscal picture, the supreme court is
considering raising the filing fees by July 1 to coincide with
the new fiscal year. Based on the information she's received,
that could mean the court would collect up to $1 million more
per year.
SENATOR COSTELLO asked if the filing fees vary.
MS. MEADE replied the court administrative rules list the fees
based on the court. For example, the filing fee for an appeal is
$150 and the filing fee in superior court for a divorce or some
other civil matter is also $150. If the case can be filed in
district court because the amount in controversy is lower, the
filing fee is $90. There are waivers for indigent parties and
the court doesn't collect filing fees from state agencies, which
means there are no filing fees for criminal cases.
2:48:41 PM
SENATOR MICCICHE asked Ms. Nelson to address whether or not poor
Alaskans have more availability to legal representation than the
average Alaskan because Senator Coghill's question about equal
access and the cost benefit of cases is legitimate.
MS. NELSON explained that ALSC attorneys meet once a week to
talk about which cases to take on. They are prioritized based on
family safety and economic stability, although some grants allow
prioritization in other areas. The economic benefit study that
looked at the outcomes of ALSC's work showed that 80 percent of
the cases were settled without going to court.
SENATOR MICCICHE asked if additional funding would allow ALSC to
expand its scope and perhaps take on civil cases that Senator
Coghill fears because they're social or environmental in nature.
MS. NELSON answered no; ALSC's core function is to serve low-
income people in civil cases when they can't get representation
anywhere else. They would not move into environmental or social
work if they had additional resources.
SENATOR COGHILL disclosed that he worked with ASLC on veteran
allotments. He reiterated that before the legislature provides a
funding stream, he wants assurance that all needy people are
represented.
2:55:18 PM
CHAIR MCGUIRE stated support for Alaska Legal Services
Corporation and the safety net it provides for low-income
Alaskans.
CHAIR MCGUIRE held SB 49 in committee for further consideration.
2:57:23 PM
There being no further business to come before the committee,
Chair McGuire adjourned the Senate Judiciary Standing Committee
meeting at 2:57 p.m.
