1:02:39 PM
CHAIR KITO announced that the first order of business would be
HOUSE BILL NO. 278, "An Act extending the termination date of
the Board of Certified Real Estate Appraisers; and providing for
an effective date."
1:02:58 PM
MEGAN HOLLAND, Staff, Representative Andy Josephson, Alaska
State Legislature, introduced HB 278 on behalf of Representative
Josephson, prime sponsor. She stated that the proposed bill
would extend the termination date for the Board of Real Estate
Appraisers by eight years as recommended by Legislative Budget
and Audit (LB&A).

previous meeting on HB 278. Upon ascertaining that there was no
one available for public testimony, closed public testimony.

with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal
notes. There being no objection, it was so ordered.

questions in the hearing on HB 279. She asked for the question
to be restated.
REPRESENTATIVE BIRCH spoke to the issues of transparency in
commission meetings brought forward in a letter from his
constituent.
MS. BARICKMAN answered there is a process for complaints which
go through the investigative unit and not directly to the
commission, so it would not be appropriate for the commission to
hear a complaint in a public meeting.
REPRESENTATIVE BIRCH reiterated the process.
MS. BARICKMAN answered she could not speak to the specific case
but confirmed his understanding of the process was correct.
1:10:41 PM
SARAH CHAMBERS, Deputy Director, Division of Corporations,
Business, & Professional Licensing (DCBPL), Department of
Commerce, Community & Economic Development (DCCED), answered
questions in the hearing on HB 279. She stated the department

attended a commission meeting. She offered her assistance to
the constituent.

to help telehealth mental health service providers and was

health services via telehealth.
MS. HAMILTON answered the regulation will increase accessibility
to mental health services.
1:22:00 PM
REPRESENTATIVE JOSEPHSON moved to report HB 302 out of committee

HB 323-EXTEND: BOARD OF PHARMACY
1:23:50 PM
CHAIR KITO announced that the next order of business would be
HOUSE BILL NO. 323, "An Act extending the termination date of
the Board of Pharmacy; and providing for an effective date."
CHAIR KITO announced he would reintroduce HB 323 on behalf of
Representative Sullivan-Leonard, prime sponsor, as she was
unable to attend the bill hearing.
CHAIR KITO paraphrased from the sponsor statement, which reads
as follows [original punctuation provided]:
House Bill 323 extends the termination date for the
Board of Pharmacy to June 30, 2022. Pursuant to
A.S.?08.03.010( c)(16), this Board is scheduled to
sunset on June 30th, 2018 if the legislature does not
pass legislation extending it.
Legislative Audit reviewed the Board's operations and
determined that it is in the best interest of the
state to extend this Board considering recent
statutory changes that expand the Board's
responsibilities in relation to the controlled
substance prescription database. Therefore,
recommendation is made to extend this Board for 4
years or through June 30, 2022.
The Board of Pharmacy is composed of 7 members; 5
licensed pharmacists actively engaged in the practice
of pharmacy in the State for a period of 3 years
immediately preceding their appointments and 2 members
of the public.
The Board also regulates admission into the practice
of pharmacy, establishes and enforces compliance with
professional standards and adopts regulations. It also
establishes and maintains a controlled substance
prescription database, and establishes standards for
the independent administration by a pharmacist of
vaccines, related emergency medications and opioid
overdose drugs.
The Board also oversees licensing for pharmacists,
pharmacy interns, pharmacy technicians, pharmacies,
wholesale drug distributors located inside the state,
licenses drug rooms located inside institutional
facilities and also registers pharmacies located
outside of the State if a pharmacy ships, mails or
delivers prescription drugs to consumers of that
state.
These regulations control various aspects of the
field, including but not limited to controlling and
regulating the practice of pharmacy in Alaska.
A.S.?08.80.005 mandates that effective control and
regulation is necessary to promote, preserve and
protect the public's health, safety and
welfare.
1:26:41 PM
REPRESENTATIVE JOSEPHSON moved to report HB 323 out of committee
with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal
notes. There being no objection, it was so ordered.
1:26:55 PM
The committee took an at-ease from 1:27 p.m. to 1:28 p.m.
HB 318-EXTEND: BOARD OF SOCIAL WORK EXAMINERS
1:28:14 PM
CHAIR KITO announced that the next order of business would be
HOUSE BILL NO. 318, "An Act extending the termination date of
the Board of Social Work Examiners; and providing for an
effective date."
1:28:27 PM
TED MADSEN, Staff, Representative Ivy Spohnholz, Alaska State
Legislature, introduced HB 318 on behalf of Representative
Spohnholz, prime sponsor. He testified HB 318 would extend the
termination date of the Board of Social Work Examiners until
June 30, 2026.
CHAIR KITO announced public testimony was still open from a
previous hearing. Upon ascertaining that no one was available
to testify, he closed public testimony on HB 318.
1:29:48 PM
REPRESENTATIVE JOSEPHSON moved to report HB 318 out of committee
with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal
notes. There being no objection, it was so ordered.
1:30:07 PM
The committee took a brief at-ease.
HB 255-PLUMBING/ELECTRIC CERTIFICATE OF FITNESS
1:31:56 PM
CHAIR KITO announced that the final order of business would be
HOUSE BILL NO. 255, "An Act relating to individuals and
employees who must have certificates of fitness to perform
certain plumbing and electrical work; and relating to civil
penalties and violations for not having required certificates of
fitness."
1:32:05 PM
REPRESENTATIVE CHRIS TUCK, Alaska State Legislature, introduced
HB 255 as prime sponsor. He gave an overview of the bill,
explaining that HB 255 would change the violation for working
without a certificate of fitness from a misdemeanor to a
citation and a fine. He stated the proposed bill would bring
the department practices in line with other business license
standards.
1:33:47 PM
CHAIR KITO moved Amendment 1.
Page 2, lines 14 - 15:
Delete "[, EITHER AN EMPLOYER OR EMPLOYEE,]"
Insert ", other than [EITHER] an [EMPLOYER OR]
employee,"
Page 2, lines 17 - 18:
Delete "BY A FINE OF NOT MORE THAN $500]"
Insert "] by a fine of not more than $500"
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK explained Amendment 1 reserves violations
for employers. He pointed to page 2, line 14, of the statute
and explained that independent contractors would be under the
same sanctions as an employer.
1:35:36 PM
REPRESENTATIVE JOSEPHSON asked about violations, citations, and
administrative penalties.
1:36:33 PM
DEBORAH KELLY, Director, Labor Standards and Safety Division,
answered questions in the hearing on HB 255. She explained
there was a multitiered process involving options for a citation
or an administrative fine.
CHAIR KITO asked whether the two penalties worked in
conjunction.
MS. KELLY answered in the affirmative. She added the way
penalties work for other licensure, such as contractor
licensing, generally an administrative fine is issued. She
added that with severe violations or for those who refused to
pay, the citation process is used.
1:37:30 PM
REPRESENTATIVE STUTES shared her concern that the change would
put the employee "between a rock and a hard spot." She
suggested exempting the employee.
1:38:14 PM
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK mentioned the committee had heard
Representative Knopp state he did not like the certificate of
fitness. He explained that general contractors cannot perform
or expect their employees to do electrical work. He added that
in the electrical industry there was a requirement for
additional licensing for administrators. He said the aim was to
maintain the integrity of the system. He said there should not
be any "gray areas."
1:39:46 PM
REPRESENTATIVE JOSEPHSON spoke to misdemeanors and said that
taking a case to a jury can be hard to do. He asked for
confirmation that the fine would be up to $500 and not imposed
on the employee.
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK clarified the fine would be not more than
$500 for the employer, and $125 for the first offence and $250
for each subsequent offence for the employee.
REPRESENTATIVE JOSEPHSON surmised "there is jurisdictional
workplace confusion about who has the authority and training to
do certain work in the field," and asked whether the proposed
bill simply made it easier to cite someone.
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK answered that it is the responsibility on
the employee to maintain the certificate of fitness.
REPRESENTATIVE JOSEPHSON asked whether there is a gray area
regarding who does what work on a worksite.
1:42:20 PM
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK answered there were different requirements
according to the scope of work, and some licenses only require
1,000 hours of training. He added that HB 255 does not address
those issues.
REPRESENTATIVE JOSEPHSON spoke to Amendment 1. He offered a
hypothetical situation involving the action of an employee and
asked whether the proposed bill would offer leniency in that
scenario.
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK answered HB 255 was modelled after other
licensing legislation. He said the original draft contained the
same fines for both employee and employer, and the amendment
made the proposed bill "very soft" in comparison to other
license violations with more severe fines.
1:44:44 PM
REPRESENTATIVE BIRCH spoke to Amendment 1. He cited the
language regarding a person other than an employee. He said he
was still uncertain of how the amendment would help that person.
1:45:49 PM
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK answered that the amendment further softens
the penalty on the employee. He added it maintains a person
carrying out the work who is not an employee or an employer
would get the same sanctions for a violation as an employer. He
further added the amendment would ensure there was not an
increase on the fine and contains a cap of $25 thousand for an
employer.
1:46:50 PM
CHAIR KITO asked for clarification of whether it should be
$2,500 or $25 thousand for the employer.
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK clarified it was $25 thousand for the
employer and $2,500 for the employee.
SPEAKER EDGMON removed his objection. There being no other
further objection, Amendment 1 was adopted.
1:47:41 PM
REPRESENTATIVE STUTES asked whether a certification of fitness
was required to drive a truck to backfill a ditch.
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK answered in the affirmative. He added a
certification of fitness was required to install the pipe, to
install wire, to dig the ditch, to backfill the ditch, to set
the poles, and to set the gear. He explained that with too many
contractors working on a system, it is hard to determine who is
responsible when something goes wrong. He reiterated that the
certificate of fitness maintains the integrity of the system.
REPRESENTATIVE STUTES said she thought it seems "we are putting
our general labors out of work."
1:49:07 PM
CHAIR KITO asked whether the bill would change how the penalties
are assessed or change the responsibilities.
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK mentioned Representative Knopp's remarks
that he did not want the penalties and that "if it's not
enforceable, then it's allowed."
1:49:51 PM
REPRESENTATIVE STUTES restated her question of whether a worker
was required to have a certificate of fitness in order to
"backfill."
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK answered in the affirmative. He deferred to
the department.
1:50:26 PM
WILLIAM HARLAN, Mechanical Inspection Manager, Department of
Labor and Workforce Development (DLWD), answered questions in
the hearing on HB 255. He confirmed that under current policy a
certificate of fitness would be required. He added that the
proposed bill would not affect the requirement.
1:51:21 PM
REPRESENTATIVE JOSEPHSON asked whether there is something called
a "utility card" that allows someone without a certificate of
fitness to do that work.
MR. HARLAN asked for the question to be restated.
REPRESENTATIVE JOSEPHSON asked whether a utility card would
enable someone who does not have the certificate of fitness to
do "in-between work."
MR. HARLAN explained that public utilities are exempted
elsewhere in statute so that they can carry out work in a public
easement. He added that subcontractors doing work on a public
utility property would need a certificate of fitness.
1:53:14 PM
MS. KELLY added that there are some other certificates of
fitness, such as a plumber-restricted public utility certificate
of fitness, which allows certain types of plumbing work to be
carried out with fewer hours required than for a full plumber
journeyman.
1:53:56 PM
REPRESENTATIVE JOSEPHSON moved to report HB 255 out of committee
as amended with individual recommendations and the accompanying
fiscal notes. There being no objection, it was so ordered.
1:54:47 PM
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business before the committee, the House
Labor and Commerce Standing Committee meeting was adjourned at
1:54 p.m.
