SJR 19-ANWR & NAT'L PETRO RESERVE: STATE SHARE  3:48:19 PM CHAIR GIESSEL announced the consideration of SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 19 Urging the United States Congress to honor the terms of the Mineral Leasing Act and the Alaska Statehood Act and provide the state with a 90 percent share of all bonuses, royalties, and rentals received by the federal government from the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. 3:48:53 PM LAURA ACHEE, Staff, Senator Jesse Bjorkman, Alaska State Legislature, Juneau, Alaska, said SJR 19 urges Congress to reverse its decision to limit Alaska's share of revenues from oil and gas resource development in the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to 50 percent. She noted that ANWR is federal land. She said that, at statehood, Alaska was promised a 90 percent share (in both the Alaska Statehood Act and the Mineral Leasing Act). In addition, SHR 19 includes a request for Alaska to receive 90 percent of revenues from production in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska (NPRA). The latter was not included in the Alaska Statehood Act or the Mineral Leasing Act. She explained that the 50 percent revenue share that Alaska receives from NPRA production is given to specific regions and programs. The state takes on the work of supporting production in NPRA (through permitting, etc.) but there is no return for the general fund. She shared that, for this reason, the sponsor of SJR 19 felt it was appropriate to include the NPRA production request. 3:50:48 PM CHAIR GIESSEL solicited a motion. 3:50:52 PM SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI moved to adopt the committee substitute (CS) for [SJR 19], work order 34-LS0840\H, as the working document. 3:51:03 PM CHAIR GIESSEL objected for the purpose of discussion. 3:51:15 PM INTIMAYO HARBISON, Staff, Senator Cathy Giessel, Alaska State Legislature, Juneau, Alaska, explained that SJR 19, version H changes page 1, lines 6-7, removing any reference to the federal administration. In addition, version H reiterates that the Alaska State Legislature is grateful for the approval and development of the Willow Project along with other projects in the NPRA. 3:51:52 PM CHAIR GIESSEL removed her objection. 3:51:55 PM CHAIR GIESSEL found no further objection and CSSJR 19 was adopted as the working document. 3:51:59 PM CHAIR GIESSEL [opened public testimony on SJR 19]; finding none, she closed public testimony. 3:52:21 PM CHAIR GIESSEL solicited the will of the committee. 3:52:24 PM SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI moved to report CSSJR 19, work order 34- LS0840\H, from committee with individual recommendations and attached fiscal note(s). He gave authorization for Legislative Legal Services to make technical and conforming changes. 3:52:39 PM CHAIR GIESSEL found no objection and CSSJR 19(RES) was reported from the Senate Resources Standing Committee.
