Number 001
CHAIRMAN SHARP calls the Senate State Affairs Committee to order at
11:10 and brings up HJR 48 as the first order of business before
the committee. The chairman calls the first witness.
REPRESENTATIVE MIKE NAVARRE, prime sponsor of HJR 48, states HJR 48
asks the Federal Subsistence Board to refrain from adopting any
federal subsistence regulations that would grant subsistence
preferences or change any of the customary and traditional use
determinations without concurrence from the Commissioner of the
Department of Fish & Game until January 1, 1997. The reasoning for
this is to try to provide for a cooling-off period and an
opportunity for the new administration, our congressional
delegation, the legislature, and the citizens of the state to try
to find a consensus for resolving the subsistence issue. Another
purpose is to address the subsistence moose hunt proposed for the
Kenai Peninsula.
Number 068
EDDIE GRASSER, Alaska Outdoor Council, states the AOC supports HJR
48. The resolution would address a statewide issue. He thinks the
methods the Federal Subsistence Board uses for determining
customary and traditional use leaves a lot to be desired, as
compared to the state system. The AOC also looks at HJR 48 as part
of a package to resolve the subsistence issue.
Number 092
SENATOR RANDY PHILLIPS makes a motion to discharge HJR 48 from the
Senate State Affairs Committee with individual recommendations.
CHAIRMAN SHARP, hearing no objection, orders HJR 48 released from
committee with individual recommendations.
CHAIRMAN SHARP adjourns the Senate State Affairs Committee meeting
at 11:15 a.m.
