SB 111-INTRASTATE AIR SERVICE CERTIFICATES 2:52:23 PM CHAIR WILSON announced that the final order of business would be SENATE BILL NO. 111, "An Act relating to the duration of a certificate of compliance for an intrastate air service provider; and providing for an effective date." 2:52:40 PM TIM BENINTENDI, Staff, Senator Donny Olson, Alaska State Legislature, speaking on behalf of the prime sponsor, Senator Donny Olson, stated SB 111 would align two timeframes that are currently out of synch for the DOT&PF. He explained that Certificates of Compliance are mandated by DOT&PF for public display by intra-state air carriers to show the public the carrier carries valid liability insurance. Currently, the certificates are issued on a calendar basis, January to December, yet air carrier insurance policies can start and end throughout the year. He mentioned most renewals occur during the year rather that on January 1. Thus, new and renewed insurance necessitates that the certificates be renewed for a second time, which waste time and money for all air carriers and DOT&PF personnel. This bill would allow certificates "to float" with the carrier's insurance period and the actual language change would be from a calendar year to any 12-month period. He related that the bill is supported by the air carriers. 2:54:15 PM CHRISTINE KLEIN, Deputy Commissioner of Aviation, Office of the Commissioner, related that the DOT&PF supports SB 111. 2:55:20 PM CHAIR WILSON, after first determining no one else wished to testify, closed public testimony on SB 111. 2:55:31 PM REPRESENTATIVE MUNOZ moved to report SB 111 out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal note. There being no objection, SB 111 was reported from the House Transportation Standing Committee. 2:56:13 PM ADJOURNMENT
