CO-CHAIR PHILLIPS noted the language that pertains to polling legislators about convening a special session is ambiguous to the point where the Speaker of the House or the President of the Senate could poll only his/her majority caucus or only the people they believe will agree. She stated that could become very political and dangerous. CO-CHAIR MILLER asked what provision is in current law. CO-CHAIR PHILLIPS answered the existing statute gives the Senate President and the Speaker of the House the ability to agree to not convene a special session. CO-CHAIR MILLER noted the Senate used that procedure three times last year. CO-CHAIR PHILLIPS suggested the original language be retained. CO-CHAIR MILLER noted he does not want to remove Section 3 in its entirety. CO-CHAIR PHILLIPS suggested deleting subsection (B) only. REPRESENTATIVE BARNES asked for clarification. CO-CHAIR MILLER noted the committee was reviewing subsection (B) of Section 3 which relates to polling of the membership by the presiding officers. CO-CHAIR MILLER announced there was a motion to remove subsection (B) on page 3. There being no objection, the motion carried. CO-CHAIR MILLER stated the word "law" as opposed to "concurrent resolution" in Section 2, line 13, needs to be reviewed in relation to legislative procedure used to declare an extension. REPRESENTATIVE GRUSSENDORF informed committee members he looked into the A.L.I.V.E. court decision which was a separation of powers issue in which a legislative body was trying to annul regulations promulgated by the executive branch. He stated that issue is slightly different because the Alaska Legislature will have appropriated money for a disaster. The same number of votes would be necessary to enact a statute or to pass a concurrent resolution. REPRESENTATIVE BARNES agreed the A.L.I.V.E. decision pertained to a legislative body annulling regulations with a resolution, which a governor cannot veto, but she questioned how the Department of Law could tie that case to SB 101. REPRESENTATIVE BARNES moved to delete the word "law" and reinstate "concurrent resolution." There being no objection, the motion carried. REPRESENTATIVE BARNES moved to report CCSSB 101 (2d CC) out of committee. There being no objection, the motion carried. There being no further business to come before the committee, CO- CHAIR MILLER adjourned the meeting at 1:13 p.m.
