Senate Labor and Commerce Committee reports bill to extend licensing board, register interior designers
Summary
The Senate Labor and Commerce Committee voted without objection to report Senate Bill 54 — which would extend the Board of Architects, Engineers and Land Surveyors and register interior designers — from committee with individual recommendations and an attached fiscal note.
Juneau, Alaska — The Senate Labor and Commerce Committee voted unanimously Wednesday to report Senate Bill 54, a measure to extend the state Board of Architects, Engineers and Land Surveyors and to register interior designers.
The bill was reported from committee with individual recommendations and an attached fiscal note after a motion from Senator Tom Merrick. The measure is returning to the floor with the committee’s recommended changes; the committee’s chair, Senator Bjorkman, said no additional amendments were received by his office since the committee’s prior meeting.
SB 54 was in its fourth committee hearing. Committee members earlier had taken a presentation on the bill, heard invited and public testimony and adopted three amendments at an earlier meeting before setting the bill aside for further consideration. At Wednesday’s session, the sponsor’s staff, Serena Hackenmiller, was available but no new amendments were offered.
Because the committee acted by unanimous consent, there was no roll-call vote recorded in the transcript. The committee took a brief recess after the motion to sign paperwork; the clerk returned the meeting to the record and moved on to the next agenda item.
Votes at a glance: A committee motion to report SB 54 as amended carried without objection; a fiscal note was attached.
The committee will consider other items on its March agenda; no further public testimony was recorded on SB 54 at this hearing.
