The Senate Community and Regional Affairs Committee voted May 12 to report House Bill 216 — a measure to transfer Alaska Railroad land to the city of Whittier sponsored by Representative Holland — out of committee with individual recommendations and an accompanying 0 fiscal note.
Senator Gray Jackson moved the motion, asking that the bill (version 34 as read aloud during the meeting) be reported from committee and that legislative legal services be authorized to make any conforming changes. Vice Chair Senator Dunbar said there were no objections and announced that the bill was moved from committee.
Senator Dunbar reminded members that the committee heard an introduction to the bill on April 30, received invited and public testimony at that time, and adopted a committee substitute. She also noted on the record that Megan Clemens of the Alaska Railroad and Jackie Wilde, Whittier’s city manager, were on the line and available for questions.
The committee concluded its agenda, asked members to remain to sign paperwork related to the action, and adjourned at 1:33 p.m. The transcript does not specify the committee’s next procedural calendar step for HB 216.
