ACTION NARRATIVE 3:18:55 PM CHAIR IVY SPOHNHOLZ called the House Labor and Commerce Standing Committee meeting to order at 3:18 p.m. Representatives Gillis, Hannan, Story, and Spohnholz were present at the call to order. Representatives Stutes and Fields arrived as the meeting was in progress. 3:19:48 PM The committee took a brief at-ease. HB 94-ELECTRONIC SMOKING PRODUCTS EXCISE TAX  3:19:55 PM CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ announced that the first order of business would be HOUSE BILL NO. 94, "An Act relating to the taxation of electronic smoking products; and providing for an effective date." 3:21:20 PM REPRESENTATIVE HANNAN as prime sponsor, introduced HB 94. She paraphrased the sponsor statement [included in the committee packet], which read in its entirety as follows [original punctuation provided]: House Bill 94 would enact an excise tax on electronic smoking products. Use of E-cigarettes, commonly known as vaping, is booming in the United States, most troublingly among young people. Between 2017 and 2018, the Center of Disease Control's National Youth Tobacco Survey saw a 78- percent increase in use of E-cigarettes by high school studentsfrom just below 12 percent to nearly 21 percent. Nationwide, 80 percent of high school students do not perceive a great risk from using e- cigarettes regularly. However, according to the Truth Initiativethe nation's largest nonprofit public health organization committed to ending tobacco use- teens who vape are four times more likely to start smoking conventional cigarettes. Despite claims that e-cigarettes help adults quit smoking or offer adults a safer alternative to smoking, E-cigarettes have not been found by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be effective in helping smokers actually quit, and neither is there evidence that they are safer. Almost all e-cigarettes contain some amount of addictive nicotine, and some contain as much nicotine as a pack of cigarettes. Meanwhile, tobacco taxes are proven to reduce youth tobacco use, resulting in fewer kids becoming life- long smokers, and thus ultimately reducing healthcare costs. In addition to deterring kids from beginning to use these products, tobacco taxes measurably encourage adults who want to quit to do so. Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products (OTP) in Alaska are taxed at 75% of the wholesale price. HB 94 proposes to add electronic smoking products to the OTP definition and in turn to tax them at the current rate of 75% of the wholesale price. Thank you for considering this legislation. REPRESENTATIVE HANNAN noted that HB 94 is projected to raise 2.5 million dollars per year once it is fully implemented. She stated that currently, Alaskas statutes fail to include e- cigarettes. She said this bill would add them into the states current tax structure as a category of nicotine taxation. 3:23:38 PM TIM CLARK, Staff, Representative Sara Hannan, Alaska State Legislature, presented the sectional analysis for HB 94 [included in the committee packet] on behalf of Representative Hannan, prime sponsor, which read as follows [original punctuation provided]: Section 1 amends AS 43.50.150(c) so that the state can enter into agreements with municipalities that also tax electronic smoking products (ESPs). Such agreements would be to jointly audit a person (a business) responsible for paying the excise tax the bill addresses. Essentially, this is an enforcement tool both the state and local governments can use to their mutual benefit.   Section 2 amends AS 43.50.300 to include "electronic smoking products" among the other tobacco products already taxed by the state at 75 percent of the wholesale price. This section also describes what types of transactions make a business liable for the tax.   Section 3 amends AS 43.50.310(b) to describe exemptions from the excise tax for electronic smoking products. These exemptions include ? electronic smoking products that are subject to taxation under AS 43.61.010 - 43.61.030, meaning marijuana-related products; or electronic smoking products that don't contain nicotine; ? or an ESP approved for sale by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a drug or product used to treat tobacco dependence; ? or if the U.S. Constitution or other federal laws prohibit the state from taxing the product.   Section 4 amends AS 43.50.320(a) to require a person who engages in business as a distributor of ESPs subject to the tax to be licensed by the state.   Section 5 amends existing licensed distributor reporting requirements (AS 43.50.330(a)) to include sales reporting of electronic smoking products.   Section 6 adds ESPs to provisions in 43.50.335, which addresses procedures for receiving refunds or credits for taxes paid on products that have become unfit for sale, are destroyed, or are returned to the manufacturer.   Section 7 amends AS 43.50.340 record keeping requirements for licensed businesses selling tobacco products to include businesses selling ESPs. Such records include tracking sales and product information on ESPs being sold.   Sections 8 and 9 perform "housekeeping," in that they update the definitions of "distributor" and "wholesale price" under this chapter to include ESPs as among products related to them. 3:28:39 PM The committee took an at-ease from 3:28 to 3:35 p.m. 3:35:28 PM MR. CLARK resumed the sectional analysis on Section 10, which read as follows [original punctuation provided]: Section 10 adds to AS 43.50.390 to provide a definition of "electronic smoking product" consistent with use of the phrase elsewhere in statute. It specifies that an ESP means a: "(A) component, solution, vapor product, or other related product that is manufactured and sold for use in an electronic cigarette, electronic cigar, electronic cigarillo, electronic pipe, or other similar device for the purpose of delivering nicotine or other substances to the person inhaling; "(B) product under (A) of this paragraph that is sold as part of a disposable integrated unit containing a power source and delivery system or as a kit containing a refillable electronic smoking system and power source." Section 11 specifies dates of applicability of various sections of the bill, in order to preempt any confusion about when these measures become effective. Section 12 provides an effective date of January 1st, 2021 for the act. 3:36:59 PM REPRESENTATIVE FIELDS directed attention to Section 3, the exemption for electronic smoking products that dont contain nicotine. He asked if that is consistent with exemptions in other states that tax vaping products. He also asked if there are similarly addictive substances that tobacco companies use in lieu of nicotine for vaping products. MR. CLARK shared his understanding that in other states, there are exemptions on vapor products that are nicotine-free; however, that's not the case in all jurisdictions. REPRESENTATIVE FIELDS questioned whether it's a necessary exemption or if it creates a loophole that makes it easier to sell a vaping device with different addictive products and similar dangers. CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ announced that HB 94 would be held over. HB 301-ELECTRICIAN & PLUMBER APPRENTICESHIPS  3:38:33 PM CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ announced that the next order of business would be CS FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 301(L&C), "An Act relating to certificates of fitness for plumbers and electricians." 3:39:05 PM REPRESENTATIVE GABRIELLE LEDOUX, Alaska State Legislature, as prime sponsor, provided a brief summary of HB 301. She said the bill is about adding the current apprenticeship regulations into statute. 3:39:41 PM REPRESENTATIVE FIELDS added that the purpose in putting forward this legislation is to ensure that apprenticeship is the standard for trainees, as it has been in Alaska for decades. He noted that he does not support any attempt by the Department of Labor & Workforce Development (DLWD) to create workarounds around apprenticeship. 3:40:35 PM REPRESENTATIVE STUTES directed attention to a letter from the Alaska State Home Building Association (ASHBA) [included in the committee packet]. She asked how HB 301 affects the ASHBA. REPRESENTATIVE FIELDS said there might be some confusion about HB 301, because as written, the bill changes nothing in terms of how any industry practices in Alaska today. He noted that [the ASHBA] has a separate bill that would change the standards for plumbing. He offered his belief that the ASHBA is objecting to HB 301 because they would prefer to go in a different statutory direction. He reiterated that the current bill changes nothing about the way in which the industry operates today. 3:41:27 PM CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ opened public testimony. 3:41:44 PM VICTOR BANASZAK, President, Alaska State Home Building Association, read the following prepared statement: The Alaska State Home Builders Association appreciates the opportunity to comment on HB 301, relating to certificates of fitness for plumbers and electricians. We also support apprenticeships. We support fewer statutory barriers for training skilled trades. We have long supported state funding for programs in workforce development. Getting good qualified workers and trades for our line of work is very difficult. Its become a national crisis. We are here to ask you not to make it more difficult. Residential construction contractors do not want and do not need to be included in AS 18.62 for certificates of fitness. We are already well covered, and dont wish to be included in legislation that tightens controls on apprenticeships and other possible avenues to skilled trades. We would propose that HB 301 be amended to remove residential construction from certificates of fitness. Residential construction is licensed separately under AS 08.18.025, and we also comply with municipal residential building codes, which include inspections. Mortgage financing requirements also typically include code compliance and energy efficiency standards. In other words, residential construction has plenty of government and regulatory oversight on construction standards that are outside the requirements for certificates of fitness. Conversely, state law exempts certificates of fitness for residential construction performed by owner- builders, and it even prescribes how owner-builders can list and sell new construction that includes self- installed plumbing and electrical. Anyone who says that certificates of fitness should be mandated for licensed, bonded, and insured home builders is welcome to explain why unlicensed contractors in the state are exempt and allowed to install their own plumbing and electrical. We feel that HB 301 strengthens federally registered apprenticeship programs, but it does not necessarily help housing. If enacted, HB 301 should remove residential construction from the certificates of fitness for plumbers and electricians. Thank you for your consideration. 3:44:32 PM REPRESENTATIVE HANNAN questioned whether under current state law, licensed and bonded commercial home builders are required to use certificated electricians and plumbers. MR. BANASZAK confirmed that they are required to use licensed and administrated electricians and plumbers. He explained that they risk getting inspected by the city or the state, during which the inspector can ask what entity is performing the plumbing and electrical. He added that if they are not using someone who is fully licensed and bonded, the inspector can shut down the project. REPRESENTATIVE HANNAN sought clarification as to whether the state requires Mr. Banaszak to use electricians and plumbers who have certificates of fitness, even if they are subcontracted. MR. BANASZAK confirmed that. 3:45:41 PM REPRESENTATIVE STUTES sought to clarify that the ASHBA is asking to use employees or subcontractors that do not have a certificate of fitness. She asked if they no longer wish to be held to that current requirement. MR. BANASZAK said their biggest issue is the severe workforce deficit, adding that its the number one bottleneck in the industry. He said that while they respect this body of governments desire to keep the highest standards for builders - he would hate to see avenues for high school students and new builders reduced. 3:46:47 PM CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ asked if Mr. Banaszak is suggesting that high school students should build residential housing in Alaska. MR. BANASZAK maintained that there are programs for them to begin learning about building and selling homes. He reiterated that he opposes regulating to the point where kids coming through those programs will not have avenues to continue on if they choose not to join a union. 3:47:33 PM REPRESENTATIVE STUTES asked if Mr. Banaszak is asking to be exempt from what he is currently required to do. MR. BANASZAK confirmed that. 3:48:16 PM BRAD AUSTIN, Training Coordinator, Plumbers & Pipefitters Local Union 262, expressed his support for HB 301. He offered his belief that when the plumbing trainee certificate of fitness is tied to an apprenticeship it guarantees that properly trained apprentices will become journeymen. He explained that the state requires a minimum of 8,000 hours; however, their program is five years long and requires at least 10,000 hours. He said that since 1999, they have turned out 45 apprentices that have become journeyman. To conclude, he reiterated his belief that its a great move tie the trainee certificate of fitness to an apprenticeship program. Its a very proven way to train and I think we turn out superior skilled tradesmen. 3:50:44 PM RYAN MCGOVERN, Plumbers & Pipefitters Local Union 375, offered his belief that relaxing these standards will ultimately jeopardize the quality of craftsmen and potentially, public safety. 3:52:15 PM PETER JURCZAK, Project Manager, Ketchikan Mechanical Inc., informed the committee that he was a state inspector with the Department of Labor & Workforce Development (DLWD) for 29 years and that he is strongly in favor of HB 301. He said when the state adopted requirements for the apprenticeship program to be part of the certificate of fitness requirements for trainees, the workmanship improved greatly. Furthermore, it brought continuity into the program. He added that the technology in these trades is changing rapidly. To keep up with the technology, he said, both the journeymen and apprentices should keep in mind that an apprenticeship program gives them a solid basis to continue on with their careers. He said he thinks that the state of Alaska should support and encourage that. He emphasized that the apprenticeship program leads to careers that allow these individuals to work anywhere in the country. He went on to say that its important to have trained workers on residential projects. He reiterated that he strongly supports HB 301, the apprenticeship requirements, and the accompanying regulations. 3:56:56 PM REPRESENTATIVE HANNAN noted the concern about having enough skilled tradespeople available. She asked Mr. Jurczak for his insight, as a previous state inspector, on how to ensure that there are skilled tradespeople available for both the commercial and the residential industries while still adhering to the statutory standards that Alaska has had. MR. JURCZAK offered his belief that schools are trying to steer students in that direction. He said more people are realizing that they can get paid while learning through an apprenticeship program, adding that its just a matter of educating students and encouraging them to try a trade class. 3:59:01 PM TOM FISHER, Owner, Aaron Plumping and Heating Company, said from a contractor's perspective, HB 301 is instrumental and essential in ensuring a properly trained workforce for the plumbing and electrical trades, which will minimize the probability of endangering public health and property, as well as themselves and others. Registered apprenticeship programs provide on-the- job training, mentoring, structured standards, and trade- specific improvement training programs aimed at making sure the participants are given the tools and resources to be the best tradespeople they can be. He said registered apprenticeship programs provide benefits to career seekers and employers, as well as social and economic benefits to the communities they serve. He said that, as a contractor, he pays benefits into a fund to support the apprenticeship program that he draws his labor pool from. The participants are committed to a five-year program with classroom time and a learning facility equipped with the latest technology in front of professional well-trained instructors and staff. To conclude, he reiterated his support for HB 301. 4:02:32 PM VINCE BELTRAMI, President, Alaska AFL-CIO, informed the committee that his prior job was the statewide training director at the NECA-IBEW apprenticeship program in 2003 when the regulations were modified to require all certificate of fitness holding trainees to be registered in a federally registered apprenticeship program. He said the number of trainees and apprentices grew quickly during that time. The new requirements did not stifle training opportunities for Alaskans opportunities increased significantly. Furthermore, it ensured more safety on the job for workers and safer buildings for occupants to inhabit. He noted that those standards have remained intact, regardless of the governor or commissioner, for 17 years. He stated that its been a tremendous success story; however, the recent efforts by the DLWD to derail those regulations threatens to undo that gold standard. He said he applauds the effort to codify the current regulations into law. He encouraged members to move HB 301 from committee. 4:06:13 PM CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ closed public testimony. REPRESENTATIVE FIELDS said its been made abundantly clear that this bill maintains the status quo, which is an apprenticeship system that works. He addressed the public comments from 375 Alaska construction workers and contractors that opposed watering down existing regulations. He further noted that HB 301 supports an ecosystem that flows from high schools to colleges and provides Alaskans with the opportunity to get good careers in the building trades. 4:07:46 PM REPRESENTATIVE STUTES moved to report CSHB 301, Version LS1506\E, Fisher, 3/6/20, out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal notes. Without objection, CSHB 301(L&C) was moved from the House Labor and Commerce Standing Committee. 4:08:07 PM The committee took an at-ease from 4:08 to 4:10 p.m. SB 52-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL; ALCOHOL REG  4:10:31 PM CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ announced that the final order of business would be CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 52(FIN) am, "An Act relating to alcoholic beverages; relating to the regulation of manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers of alcoholic beverages; relating to licenses, endorsements, and permits involving alcoholic beverages; relating to common carrier approval to transport or deliver alcoholic beverages; relating to the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board; relating to offenses involving alcoholic beverages; amending Rule 17(h), Alaska Rules of Minor Offense Procedure; and providing for an effective date." 4:11:49 PM KONRAD JACKSON, Staff, Senator Peter Micciche, Alaska State Legislature, on behalf of Senator Micciche, prime sponsor, presented the sectional analysis for SB 52. [Because of its length, the sectional analysis is provided at the end of the minutes for SB 52.] MR. JACKSON explained Sections 1-10. 4:25:03 PM REPRESENTATIVE FIELDS questioned whether the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts in Anchorage would be able to continue to sell alcohol under SB 52. MR. JACKSON confirmed that. He directed attention to AS 04.09.250 and explained that the bill codifies the theatre license from 3 AAC 304.695. 4:25:36 PM REPRESENTATIVE STUTES referencing Article 2, asked for an explanation of AS 04.09.020-040. 4:26:37 PM The committee took a brief at-ease. 4:26:55 PM ANNA BRAWLEY, Senior Associate, Agnew::Beck Consulting, explained that the brewery manufacturer license [AS 04.09.020], the winery manufacturer license [AS 04.09.030], and the distillery manufacturer license [04.09.040], take the retail privileges that currently exist in the brewery, winery, and distillery statutes and split them into separate licenses. 4:27:38 PM REPRESENTATIVE HANNAN directed attention to AS 04.09.420 and asked for a description of multiple fixed counters. MS. BRAWLEY said the concept exists in current Title 4; however, its being renamed and created as an endorsement under SB 52. She said a beverage dispensary license (BDL) is defined as one room with a fixed counter with plumbing, by which they provide service. Currently, licensees can pursue a duplicate license, which essentially is a second version of their license. She added that they pay the full $2500 fee for each duplicate license and they cannot be transferred independently. She explained that under SB 52, the proposal is to use the endorsement system to create a replacement for the duplicate license that essentially does the same thing. MS. BRAWLEY responding to a follow-up question from Representative Hannan, noted that an example of multiple fixed counters is Anchorages Chilkoot Charlies, a bar with multiple rooms. 4:30:14 PM REPRESENTATIVE STUTES directed attention to AS 04.09.270 [sporting activity or event license]. She questioned whether the 8-year sunset is a new proposal. MS. BRAWLEY said the 8-year sunset does not exist in statute now. She explained that the current license with the same privileges is called a recreational site license, adding that the bill recommends renaming that to sporting activity or event license to better reflect what the existing statute says. She said, the 8-year sunset is proposed for any businesses that do not meet the existing statutory definition to be able to change their business model, pursue a different license, or provide a rationale for how they meet the statutory definition. REPRESENTATIVE STUTES referencing AS 04.09.310, asked if the 10 p.m. closing time is a hard closing. MS. BRAWLEY offered her understanding that existing law is unclear; however, she said that under AS 04.16.010 a new section has been inserted to clarify that a hard close is required. SENATOR MICCICHE clarified that it went from a soft 8 p.m. to a hard 10 p.m. closing. 4:32:26 PM REPRESENTATIVE STORY questioned whether SB 52 makes any significant changes to penalties. SENATOR MICCICHE explained that no changes were made to the more serious penalties. He added that there are penalties associated with some of the new license types. MS. BRAWLEY stated that essentially everything in Title 4 is a class A misdemeanor unless otherwise defined. 4:33:54 PM REPRESENTATIVE FIELDS expressed his support for the bill and more specifically, applauded the extended 10 p.m. closing time for breweries. 4:34:36 PM REPRESENTATIVE STORY sought clarification on Section 6 and the and the corresponding subsections (g-j). She specifically asked if the online fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) information is a new proposal. MS. BRAWLEY explained that the stakeholders intent was to avoid duplicating efforts that are happening now. The idea, she said, is to implement better coordination with the Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) Board, and to ensure that both the ABC Board and the Alcohol and Marijuana Control Office (AMCO) who are the subject matter experts on Title 4 and Alaskas alcohol laws can provide information to the public, licensees, and local governments. Regarding FASD information, she said, that is something that AMCO currently provides. She offered her understanding that the document was produced by the Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS) and offers information about FASD to women who are pregnant. She further noted that the aforementioned information must be included in package store deliveries. 4:36:46 PM REPRESENTATIVE STUTES sought clarification on the new permit that would allow license holders to have live entertainment four times per year between the hours of 9 a.m. and 10 p.m. She asked how that would be regulated. MS. BRAWLEY confirmed that this bill creates a new type of permit. She added that it would be regulated like other permits, including catering permits that beverage dispensaries obtain. 4:38:09 PM MR. JACKSON resumed the sectional analysis on Article 7 and went on to explain Sections 11-114. 4:55:03 PM CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ proposed taking a break from the sectional for invited testimony. 4:55:14 PM TIFFANY HALL, Executive Director, Recover Alaska, stated that [Recover Alaska] has been working on the content of SB 52 for many years, hand in hand with other proponents of public health and safety, as well as with members of the alcohol industry at every level. She reported that alcohol costs the state 2.4 billion dollars every year in lost productivity, health care, public safety, and early death. She said SB 52 will limit youth access to alcohol, promote responsible alcohol use, and reduce the harms of over consumption. She emphasized their support for the proposed regulation of online alcohol sales, statewide keg registration, mandated training for every individual selling alcohol to the public, increased license fees, new penalties that hold license holders responsible, and closing the current loophole on population limits. She offered her belief that the entire bill works to create a Title 4 thats easier to understand, which reduces the burden on both license holders and the state.
