HB 140-LEG SALARIES; STATE OFFICERS COMP COMM  3:13:31 PM CHAIR SHAW announced that the first order of business would be HOUSE BILL NO. 140, "An Act relating to the State Officers Compensation Commission; and relating to policies of the Alaska Legislative Council regarding allowances and reimbursement for moving expenses." [HB 140, as amended, was moved from committee on 4/11/23; in committee packets was a proposed committee substitute (CS) for HB 140, Version 33-LS069\B, Klein/Wallace, 4/11/23, "Version B."] 3:14:01 PM REPRESENTATIVE WRIGHT moved to rescind the committee's action on 4/11/23 in reporting CSHB 140(STA) [HB 140, as amended on 4/11/23] from committee. There being no objection, it was so ordered. 3:14:28 PM REPRESENTATIVE WRIGHT moved to adopt the proposed CS for HB 140, Version 33-LS069\B, Klein/Wallace, 4/11/23, as the work draft. CHAIR SHAW objected for the purpose of discussion. 3:14:58 PM JOSH WALTON, Staff, Representative Laddie Shaw, Alaska State Legislature, on behalf of Chair Shaw, relayed that Version B corrected conflicting language in the version of the bill that moved from committee on 4/11/23. He deferred to Mr. Klein to provide an explanation of changes in Version B. 3:16:15 PM NOAH KLEIN, Legislative Legal Services, Legislative Affairs Agency, recalled that a previously adopted amendment essentially bifurcated the compensation committee report creating a separate report for the legislature and a separate report for executive branch officials. He explained that the amendment used plural language, while another amendment was in the singular. He highlighted page 2, line 11, of Version B, noting that the language in the proposed CS was drafted in the plural to correct those technical inconsistencies. 3:17:45 PM CHAIR SHAW removed his objection to the motion to adopt the proposed CS for HB 140. There being no further objection, Version B was before the committee. 3:18:00 PM REPRESENTATIVE WRIGHT moved to report CSHB 140, Version 33- LS069\B, Klein/Wallace, 4/11/23, out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal notes. There being no objection, CSHB 140(STA) was moved the House State Affairs Standing Committee.
