CHAIRMAN LEMAN called the Senate Labor and Commerce Committee                  
meeting to order at 2:42 p.m. and noted the presence of Senators               
Kelly, Mackie and Leman.  He stated the only order of business                 
would be confirmation hearings on governor appointees.                         
                                                                               
The first item on the agenda was the confirmation hearing on the               
appointees to the State Board of Registration for Architects,                  
Engineers, and Land Surveyors.  There being no comments or                     
testimony, CHAIRMAN LEMAN requested a motion.                                  
                                                                               
SENATOR MACKIE moved that the names of Don Iverson, Scott McLane,              
Kathy Gardner, and Patrick Kalen be forwarded, for consideration,              
to a joint session on confirmations, and that this was not an                  
indication of how members would vote in that joint session.                    
Hearing no objection, CHAIRMAN LEMAN stated the motion carried.                
                                                                               
The next item on the agenda was the appointment of Inge Bolivar to             
the State Board of Barbers and Hairdressers.  There being no                   
comments or testimony, CHAIRMAN LEMAN requested a motion.                      
                                                                               
SENATOR MACKIE moved that the name of Inge Bolivar be forwarded,               
for  consideration, to a joint session on confirmations, and that              
this was not an indication of how  members would vote in that joint            
session.  Hearing no objection, CHAIRMAN LEMAN stated the motion               
carried.                                                                       
                                                                               
SENATOR KELLY requested that the names of appointees to the Alaska             
Workers'  Compensation Board be held over.  CHAIRMAN LEMAN stated              
the names of those appointees would be held over until the                     
following Tuesday.

CHAIRMAN LEMAN requested a motion.                                             
                                                                               
SENATOR MACKIE moved that the name of Audrey Foldoe be forwarded,              
for consideration, to a joint session on confirmations, and that               
this was not an indication of how members would vote in that joint             
session.

SENATOR MACKIE moved that the name of Alfred L. Tamagni, Sr. be                
forwarded, for consideration, to a joint session on confirmations,             
and that this was not an indication of how members would vote in               
that joint session.
