SENATOR LEMAN introduced CSHB 59(MLV) (APPROP: VETS' LAND DISCOUNT REFUND) as the first order of business. REPRESENTATIVE ELDON MULDER, prime sponsor of HB 59, explained the legislation makes a special appropriation to the Department of Natural Resources for refunds to veterans who purchase state land between April 1, 1983 and July 6, 1984. It also reimburses the University of Alaska for veterans' land discounts that apply to land that was transferred to the university as a result of a lawsuit settlement with the state. SENATOR TAYLOR moved that CSHB 59(MLV) be passed out of committee with individual recommendations. Hearing no objection, it was so ordered.
