HB 273 - NOTIFY COMMUNITY ABOUT SEX OFFENDERS Number 2456 CHAIRMAN GREEN announced the committee would briefly take up HB 273, "An Act relating to notification of the public concerning sex offenders." He noted that the sponsor wasn't present. He then called on Shirley Marshall, requesting that she send or fax any written testimony. TAPE 98-16, SIDE B Number 0006 SHIRLEY MARSHALL testified via teleconference from Tok, specifying that she was representing herself, her children, family members and members of the Tok community. She suggested adding to HB 252 that "any health care facility be notified, and that in that health care facility, if a convicted sex offender is employed or volunteering there, that pictures of a convicted sex offender be posted so the community has their own choice whether they go to that facility for their medical care or not." MS. MARSHALL further asked that the emergency medical service licensing board reconsider letting a licensed emergency medical technician (EMT) hold a license if that person is a convicted sex offender. She offered to answer questions. Number 0056 CHAIRMAN GREEN thanked Ms. Marshall and advised her that she could fax information to (907) 465-4316. He asked Representative Masek, sponsor, who had just arrived, whether she or her aide wished to make a statement; Representative Masek said she would wait. Chairman Green then advised Representative Masek that they had taken testimony from someone on teleconference but would consider the bill another day. [HB 273 was held over.]
