SB 180 was before the committee.                                                                                                
                                                                                                                                
CHAIR  MCGUIRE requested  a  motion to  adopt  the new  committee

SENATOR MICCICHE objected for discussion.

Legal  Services noticed  that there  was  a significant  drafting                                                               
error in  Section 3 on page  6 of version P,  where references to                                                               
AS 13.26.023 were  updated. She said it was  a complex interstate                                                               
compact issue.                                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                                
CHAIR MCGUIRE  asked if there  were any questions.  She requested                                                               
more information  about the change  in version P.  She summarized                                                               
that it  related to a parent's  inability to delegate a  power of                                                               
attorney (POA) in  absence of the other parent, so  long as their                                                               
parental rights had not been terminated.                                                                                        
                                                                                                                                
MS.  NORE  said  that  was  correct. She  pointed  out  that  the                                                               
drafting error had  nothing to do with the content  and intent of                                                               
the bill; it  relates to references. In Section 2,  a new section                                                               
of delegation of powers over a  minor child was created and split                                                               
from  AS 13.26.020.  All references  were updated  and some  were                                                               
missing, therefore Section 4 on page  6 of version P was added to                                                               
update  all references  made to  AS  13.26.020. There  is also  a                                                               
delayed effective  date because it deals  with interstate compact                                                               
on placement of children, as found on page 8, in Section 8.                                                                     
                                                                                                                                
SENATOR COGHILL asked if the new effective date is in version P.                                                                
                                                                                                                                
MS. NORE said yes.                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                                
SENATOR COGHILL asked about the change in Section 3.                                                                            
                                                                                                                                
MS. NORE  explained the change is  in Section 4 and  refers to an                                                               
amendment  that   was  missed   in  Section   3.  It   amends  AS                                                               
25.23.060(c).                                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                                
SENATOR COGHILL  understood that it  was the same  reference, but                                                               
in a different section.

SENATOR MICCICHE withdrew his objection  and version P was before
