Senate committee advances bill to enable Fairbanks spur of natural gas pipeline
Summary
The Senate Resources Committee voted unanimously to report Senate Bill 114, which would facilitate construction of a Fairbanks spur of the Alaska natural gas pipeline, out of committee with fiscal notes and technical-conforming authority for legislative legal.
Senate Bill 114, a measure to authorize a Fairbanks spur of the state natural gas pipeline, was reported out of the Senate Resources Committee on Friday, April 11, 2025, by unanimous consent.
The bill "relates to the gas pipeline Fairbanks Spur," committee chair Senator Elizabeth Giesel said when she opened discussion. Paul Manky, staff to Senator Cronk, described the bill briefly for the record as an effort to "get a spur to Fairbanks for the natural gas pipeline." Senator Wilikowski moved to report the bill out of committee with individual recommendations and attached fiscal notes; the motion gave Legislative Legal authority to make technical and conforming changes.
Committee members said there was no one present to testify and no further discussion before the committee accepted the motion without objection. Chair Giesel asked members to remain after the hearing to sign the transmittal documents for Senate Bill 114 (work order 34-LS-0683\A).
The committee took no additional substantive amendments to the bill during the hearing and closed public testimony for SB114.
The committee record shows the motion to report SB114 was made by Senator Wilikowski and adopted without objection, moving the bill onward for the next steps in the legislative process.
