Senate Finance Committee forwards Senate Bill 162 to rules committee
Summary
On May 8 the Alaska Senate Finance Committee moved Senate Bill 162 (recorded in the hearing as "species as legal tender") to the rules committee after the sponsor presented a motion and there were no objections. The bill was previously heard May 4 with public testimony and fiscal notes reviewed.
At a May 8 meeting of the Alaska Senate Finance Committee, Senator Stedman moved that "Senate Bill 162 version N" be reported from the finance committee with attached fiscal notes and individual recommendations; the motion carried with no recorded objection and the bill was referred to the rules committee.
The committee record shows the bill was first heard on May 4, when members took public testimony and reviewed fiscal notes. Senator Hopkins solicited any closing comments from Senator Cronk; none were offered before the committee considered the motion.
No roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript; the chair stated, "Is there objection to that motion? Seeing no objection, that bill is moved to the next committee of referral, which would be the rules committee." The transcript lists the bill on the day's agenda as "Senate Bill 162, species as legal tender." The committee record in this hearing does not include further details of the bill's substance or fiscal estimates beyond the notation that fiscal notes were reviewed at the May 4 hearing.
The committee scheduled its next meeting for Monday at 9 a.m.; no additional action on Senate Bill 162 was recorded in this session.
