SENATOR TORGERSON  brought  SSSB 20  (ALASKA MUNICIPAL BASIC SERVICES        
 PROGRAM) before the committee as the final order of business.  He             
 directed attention to a proposed committee substitute, as well as             
 a proposed amendment.                                                         
                                                                               
  SENATOR KELLY  moved that CSSSSB 20(CRA) be adopted.  Hearing no             
 objection, the Chairman stated the motion  carried.                           
                                                                               
  SENATOR KELLY  moved the following amendment to CSSSSB 20(CRA):              
                                                                               
 Amendment No. 1                                                             
                                                                               
 Sec. 3:  Add a line for "Revenue Sharing for Safe Communities (AS             
 29.60.350-29.60.372)" following "Priority Revenue Sharing" in the             
 Notice to Taxpayer.                                                           
                                                                               
 Sec. 9:  Add a new subsection (d) which states "The intent of this            
 section is to that the governing body of each municipality include,           
 on its notice to taxpayer under AS 29.45.020, the amount of funds             
 received from this program."                                                  
                                                                               
 Sec. 10:  Change 29.360(b) only by changing the word "appropriated"           
 to "allocated"; changing the "municipal assistance" fund to the               
 "safe communities" and deleting the last portion of the final                 
 sentence "...on the basis of amounts received during the fiscal               
 year 1978 under AS 43.70.080."                                                
                                                                               
 Sec. 11:  Omit the opening phrase "After the distribution under AS            
 29.60.372(b)."                                                                
                                                                               
 Sec. 12:  Perhaps the word "or" to "and" when listing the statutes            
 under which a municipality qualifies in 29.60.372(a).                         
                                                                               
   Reword subsection (b) to say "Adjustments of payments                       
 under this section shall be determined by prorating amounts payable           
 under AS 29.60.360, and AS 29.60,370, and 29.60.372(a) by a factor            
 that, when applied, reduces all payments in equal proportion so               
 that payment under AS 29.60.360, AS 29.60.370, and AS 29.60.372(a)            
 equal the amount allocated to the Safe Communities Fund under AS              
 29.60.350."                                                                   
                                                                               
 Hearing no objection to Amendment No. 1, the Chairman stated it had           
 been adopted.                                                                 
                                                                               
 SENATOR TORGERSON stated the new committee substitute would be sent           
 out to all municipalities for their perusal before the next hearing           
 on the legislation is scheduled.
