ACTION NARRATIVE
TAPE 93-5, SIDE A
Number 001
The Senate Rules Committee was called to order by Chairman
Jacko at 4:55 p.m.
CHAIRMAN JACKO brought HB 211 (MUNICIPAL INVENTORY TAX
EXEMPTION:EXPORTS) before the committee and opened the
public hearing on the legislation.
REPRESENTATIVE CYNTHIA TOOHEY, prime sponsor of HB 211,
explained the legislation amends the statute that allows
municipalities, at their option, the ability to exempt goods
being held for shipment out of state from the inventory
property tax.
The legislation would allow a local government to explore
opportunities for attracting warehousing and distribution of
goods. The local government would decide what exemptions to
allow and then create its own ordinance to activate and
cover the exemptions.
Representative Toohey noted the legislation has the support
of the Department of Community & Regional Affairs, the
Alaska Municipal League, the Municipality of Anchorage, the
Southeast Conference, the Association of Alaska ARDORS and
the Anchorage and Fairbanks airports.
SENATOR HALFORD moved and asked unanimous consent that HB
211 be passed out of committee with individual
recommendations. Hearing no objection, it was so ordered.
SENATOR HALFORD moved and asked unanimous consent that HB
211 be approved for calendaring at the Chair's discretion.
Hearing no objection, it was so ordered.
CHAIRMAN JACKO brought HJR 41 (INDIVIDUAL FISHERY QUOTA
BLOCK PROPOSALS) before the committee and opened the public
hearing on the legislation.
REPRESENTATIVE BILL WILLIAMS, prime sponsor of HJR 11,
stated that many Alaskans have expressed concern with the
IFQ share program for the halibut and sablefish fisheries,
which was recently approved by the North Pacific Fishery
Management Council.
HJR 11 urges the North Pacific Fishery Management Council to
address concerns by Alaskans by amending the IFQ program for
the halibut and sablefish fisheries to include a block
proposal system.
Representative Williams noted HJR 41 passed the House
unanimously and he urged the committee's favorable
consideration of the resolution.
SENATOR LITTLE commented that she was in favor of anything
that would preserve the small boat fishery in Alaska.
CHAIRMAN JACKO agreed with Senator Little.
SENATOR RIEGER moved and asked unanimous consent that HJR 41
be passed out of committee with individual recommendations.
Hearing no objection, it was so ordered.
SENATOR REIGER moved and asked unanimous consent that HJR 41
be approved for calendaring at the Chair's discretion.
Hearing no objection, it was so ordered.

112 (UNIFORM LIMITED PARTNERSHIP ACT UPDATE) be approved for

Halford and Jacko voted "Yea" and Senator Little voted
"Nay." The Chair stated the motion carried.
SENATOR HALFORD moved and asked unanimous consent that HB
254 (OPEN MEETING ACT) be approved for calendaring at the
Chair's discretion. SENATOR LITTLE expressed her strong
objection to the bill saying it serves to provide a lot of
reasons and abilities to have closed meetings, which is
against the best interest of the public. The roll was taken
with the following result: Senators Rieger, Halford and
Jacko voted "Yea" and Senator Little voted "Nay." The Chair
stated the motion carried.
SENATOR HALFORD moved and asked unanimous consent that HB 64
