HB 114-BOILER/PRESSURE VESSEL INSPECTION REPORTS  2:19:41 PM CHAIR COSTELLO announced the consideration of HB 114. 2:20:12 PM REPRESENTATIVE SAM KITO III, Alaska State Legislature, Juneau, Alaska, stated that HB 114 is a House Labor and Commerce Committee bill that was introduced at the request of the Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOLWD). It does two things. First, it establishes a $10 fee for each boiler and pressure vessel inspection report that is filed without using the online system. Second, it reduces the time allowed to submit the report following an inspection from the current 30 days to 15 days. The bill seeks to encourage people to use the online system. The nominal fee for those who do not use the online system helps cover the department's costs for manually entering the information. He listed the individuals available to answer questions. SENATOR MICCICHE asked if the bill provides any accommodation for a small business owner in rural Alaska who has not transitioned to using technology. REPRESENTATIVE KITO deferred the question to the department. 2:22:07 PM DEBORA KELLY, Director, Division of Labor Standards & Safety, Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOLWD), Juneau, Alaska, explained that these inspections are generally done by insurance companies or state inspectors, not small business owners. The inspector is still free to submit the inspection report by mail, and the impact would be a $10 fee every two to five years. She noted that most of the inspection reports already come through the online system. 2:23:12 PM CHAIR COSTELLO found no one who wanted to testimony on HB 114. Finding no questions, she solicited a motion. 2:23:36 PM SENATOR MICCICHE moved to report HB 114 from committee with individual recommendations and attached fiscal note(s). CHAIR COSTELLO stated that without objection, HB 114 moves from the Senate Labor and Commerce Standing Committee.
