MS. PAMELA FINLEY, revisor of statutes, explained that HB 375- REVISOR'S BILL is the standard statute clean-up bill. The Senate Judiciary Committee removed the most problematic section; she is happy with that result. A section of interest is Section 1, which puts in statute a practice used by the revisor's office for at least 18 years concerning effective dates. CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS asked if that is a substantive change. MS. FINLEY said it isn't substantive in that it does not change what the revisor's office has been doing. She said the legislative branch writes the effective date. SENATOR THERRIAULT pointed out that it is the status quo so that if the legislature adds an immediate or specific effective date to a bill, it does not want the Administration to be able to hold or veto that bill past that date. CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS asked if the bill contains any substantive changes because, in the past, legislators often added substantive legislation to it. MS. FINLEY said it does not. SENATOR COWDERY moved to calendar HB 375 at the Chairman's discretion with its zero fiscal note. SENATOR THERRIAULT asked Ms. Finley to describe the change made by the House. MS. FINLEY said a change was made on the floor at her request. The phrase "subject to state control" was added to Sections 11 and 12 on pages 5 and 6. She explained that she sent the draft bill to the Executive Branch for review, but it wasn't until the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing that the Older Alaskans Commission notified her that it had several federal programs that the state could not administer. Therefore, to avoid reporting on something the state could not take control over, that phrase was added. CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS announced that with no objection to calendaring HB 375, the motion carried.
