HOUSE BILL NO. 32 "An Act providing for the issuance of one business license for multiple lines of business; and providing for reissuance of a business license to correct a mistake on the license." 3:18:26 PM Vice-Chair Neuman MOVED to ADOPT the proposed committee substitute for HB 32, Work Draft 28-LS0192\R (Martin 2/20/14). Co-Chair Stoltze OBJECTED for discussion. DANIEL GEORGE, STAFF, CO-CHAIR STOLTZE, testified that throughout the bill the term "lines of business" has been replaced with "trades, services, professions, or activities." The change could be on Page 1, line 1; Page 1, line 8; Page 1, line 12; Page 2, line 3 and 4; Page 2, line 21 and 25. He said that the CS included the addition of Section 4, Page 2, lines 14 through 17, which added the statutory definition of "lines of business" within the definitions of the Business Licensing Act. Co-Chair Stoltze interjected that the changes had been made in consort with the sponsor and the Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development. Mr. George agreed. Representative Costello stated that the CS was in direct response to a line of questions brought by Co-Chair Austerman at a previous hearing. Representative Guttenberg asked whether the definition was new or if it could be found elsewhere in statute. Mr. George replied that the words "trades, services, professions, or activities" were utilized within the definition in AS 43.71.10.001, but was not within the bill itself. It was meant to clarify a line of business. 3:22:29 PM Representative Guttenberg understood that defining lines of business as trades and services allowed the department to better define them based on one licensing practice. Mr. George deferred to the department or the sponsor. CHARLES GUINCHARD, STAFF, REPRESENTATIVE COSTELLO, explained that the definition of business had been pulled from existing statute. He understood that the department interpreted it as a direct correlation to the federal NAICS codes. 3:24:55 PM Representative Guttenberg requested assurances that there were not two versions of the meaning of "lines of business." Mr. Guinchard replied that the intent of that change was to have the definition of the word "business" work together with the definition of "line of business." He said that the bill defined business as an entity that may accomplish various different things, whereas the definition of "line of business" would be any one particular thing done by the business. Co-Chair Stoltze WITHDREW his OBJECTION. There being no further objection CS was adopted. Representative Costello stated that the list of the business that would be affected had been provided to committee members. She noted that the fiscal note reflected the need for the administrative work. She noted that there would be a loss to the state of $37,500, which she believed would be better managed by small business owners rather than the government. Vice-Chair Neuman MOVED to REPORT HB 32 out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal note(s). There being NO OBJECTION, it was so ordered. CSHB 32 (FIN) was REPORTED out of committee with a "do pass" recommendation and with one new fiscal impact note by the Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development. Co-Chair Stoltze discussed housekeeping.
