SJR 11-SUPPORTING ROAD BELT ELECTRICAL LINE  3:50:53 PM VICE CHAIR MICCICHE announced the consideration of SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 11 Supporting development of the road belt electrical transmission line; and urging members of the Alaska delegation in Congress to pursue the development of this high- voltage electrical line in the interior of the state. [SJR 11 was previously heard on 1/24/2022.] VICE CHAIR MICCICHE made opening remarks. He related that one concern was that SJR 11 had the potential to draw attention away from other projects in the state. While this concern is valid, there is a security need to have redundant electrical infrastructure in the state. In improving Alaska's power infrastructure, the Senate Resources Committee is interested in all possible options on the table. Currently, the issue before the committee deals with support for a "road-belt electrical intertie," which he and the chair support. The chair expressed an interest in the committee supporting similar resolutions for other electrical and power-related improvements across the state. 3:51:51 PM SENATOR KIEHL noted that the resolution was introduced before the untimely passing of Congressman Don Young, so he is still listed in the resolution. 3:52:15 PM VICE CHAIR MICCICHE related his understanding that the resolution would go automatically to the office of former Congressman Don Young until there is a replacement. 3:52:31 PM SENATOR STEVENS moved to report SJR 11, work order 32-LS0660\A, from committee with individual recommendations and attached fiscal note(s). 3:52:49 PM SENATOR KAWASAKI objected, noting that the committee had adopted a conceptual amendment at the prior hearing on the resolution. [SENATOR KAWASAKI pointed out a technical issue at the 1/24/2022 hearing on SJR 11. At that time, he noted that when SJR 11 was drafted, there was an Acting Secretary of Interior, but a Secretary of the Interior was subsequently appointed.] 3:52:52 PM At ease 3:53:23 PM VICE CHAIR MICCICHE reconvened the meeting and asked Senator Stevens to rescind his motion. 3:53:29 PM SENATOR STEVENS rescinded his motion to report SJR 11 from committee. 3:53:31 PM VICE CHAIR MICCICHE related his understanding that the committee had adopted a conceptual amendment at the last hearing to correct it [The committee had noted a technical issue during the 1/24/21 hearing on the resolution but did not adopt a conceptual amendment.] The word "Acting" was not removed, and the committee would like to correct it for the record, similar to the statement regarding the late US Congressman Don Young. VICE CHAIR MICCICHE asked whether there was objection to correcting either statement; he found no objection, and the technical corrections were adopted. 3:54:05 PM SENATOR STEVENS moved to report SJR 11, work order 32-LS0660\A, as amended, from committee with individual recommendations and attached fiscal note(s). VICE CHAIR MICCICHE found no objection, and CSSJR 11(RES) was reported from the Senate Resources Standing Committee.
