Chris Tuck The Honorable Rep. Cathy Tilton Alaska House of Representatives Majority Leader Alaska House of Representatives Minority Leader State Capitol Room 216 State Capitol Room 404 Juneau, AK 99801 Juneau, AK 99801 RE: Letter in Opposition to Alaska HB 159 and SB 116 Dear Governor Dunleavy, Senate President Micciche, House Speaker Stutes, Senator Hughes, Senator Begich, Representative Tuck, and Representative Tilton: On behalf of the advertising industry, we oppose Alaska HB 159 and SB 116.1 We and the companies we represent, many of whom do substantial business in Alaska, strongly believe consumers deserve meaningful privacy protections supported by reasonable government policies. However, HB 159 and SB 116 contain provisions that could hinder Alaskans’ access to valuable ad-supported online resources, impede their ability to exercise choice in the marketplace, and harm businesses of all sizes that support the economy. To help ensure Alaskan businesses can continue to thrive and Alaskan consumers can continue to reap the benefits of a robust ad-supported online ecosystem and exercise choice in the marketplace, we recommend that the legislature undertake a study of available approaches to regulating data privacy before moving forward with enacting the onerous, and in some cases, outdated provisions set forth in these bills.

  • Alaska Legislative Digest No
    Bradners’ laska Legislative Digest A- Commentary on Alaska issues and policy PUBLISHERS: Mike Bradner, Tim Bradner / Business Office: (907) 440-6068 / 3037 South Circle Anchorage, AK 99507 / Fax: (907) 345-5683 Digest No. 1/2021 Jan. 22, 2021 Senate: Seasoned hands at the helm The state House, split 20-20, has yet to organize but the Senate organized itself quickly and smoothly last week, dispelling fears that differences among the 13 Republicans would cause delays. Senate leaders include experienced hands Sens. Peter Micciche, R-Kenai, as President; Bert Stedman, R-Sitka and Click Bishop, R-Fairbanks, as Finance Committee cochairs, and Gary Stevens, R-Kodiak, as Rules chair. Sen. Shelley Hughes, R-Mat-Su, is Majority Leader. Senate organizers threw the hard-right crowd a bone by giving Sen. Lora Reinbold, R-Eagle River, chair of the Judiciary Committee. There are seven Senate Democrats. As expected, Sen. Lyman Hoffman, D-Bethel, joined the Senate Majority, as he has in the past. Rural lawmakers representing large districts must be pragmatic and often set aside partisan affiliations to represent constituents. The Senate’s new leaders, all experienced, also know it is better to have the canny Hoffman inside the tent than outside. Fears of control by Mat-Su, governor averted There were fears initially that the Senate would wind up being controlled this year by hard conservative senators from the MatSu with Gov. Mike Dunleavy pulling strings behind the scenes. In that scenario, the key issue would have been the governor’s push for large Permanent Fund dividends, which most senators feel can’t be afforded.

  • Legislative Context & Process
    Legislative Context & Process 2021 AASB Virtual Legislative Academy Norm Wooten AASB Director of Advocacy Senate Organization Organized as an “R” majority caucus with Sen. Lyman Hoffman (D-Bethel) joining the majority. Sen. Peter Micchichi (R-Soldotna) - President. Sen. Shelley Hughes (R-Palmer) – Majority Leader Sen. Mia Costello (R-Anchorage) – Whip Sen. Gary Stevens (R-Kodiak) – Rules Chair Majority – 14 Minority – 6 Sen Tom Begich - minority leader Senate Organization Senate majority is organized as a non-binding caucus • Important to understand this • In a typical binding caucus, all members pledge to vote with the caucus on any substantive issue – primarily the budget. • It appears the only way to form the ”R’s” into a majority was as a non-binding caucus. Sen. Shower (R-Wasilla) pre-filed a bill (SJR 3) calling for a constitutional amendment prohibiting binding caucuses. • The non-binding caucus may cause a difficulty in passing a budget. Several ran campaigns on a “Statutory” PFD. The budget may be “held hostage” over the payment of a PFD. Senate Finance Committee Sen. Bert Stedman (R-Sitka) Co-Chair (Operating Budget) Sen.

Sen. Click Bishop, R-Fairbanks, speaks in favor of his proposed gas tax increase Monday, March 2, 2020 on the oor of the Alaska State Senate.
