Douglas OBrien No Against The apprenticeship programs are there to instill knowledge and the correct way of conducting construction duties with safety in place and awareness for hazards....... Amber Cartier, ABC of Yes In section 8 AAC 90.165 – In order for Alaska someone to obtain a trainee certificate of fitness must they still be indentured into an OA accredited program? Or will a person enrolled in an apprenticeship now fall under a “student trainee” since we are a federally registered education program? Ella Demoski No Against Opposed to the decision to end any apprenticeship electrical standards. John Hakala Yes Many concerns, see e-mail. See highlighted .pdf for questions.

Alaska District Council of Laborers Theodore Swanson Yes Against Many concerns, see e-mail. See highlighted .pdf for questions. Mike Notar No Against Reconsider these changes and leave what is already good practices alone. Eric Jensen No Against …our electrical apprenticeship programs are already the weakest in the country and that if you loosen up the regulations any more we not only will see higher fatalities in the industry from electrocutions and fires, but Alaska will be producing the lowest quality electricians and the lowest quality electrical work. Hannah Wilson Yes Against Are these the people you potentially want building public buildings? Would you feel safe in a building knowing it was built by one journeyman and ten potentially completely inexperienced "trainees"? Mike Desmond, No Against Does not support 90.140 & 90.300. Western Mechanical, Inc. Kyle Kaiser, OIF/OEF No Against The proposed changes/elimination of Veteran Electrical and plumbing/pipe-fitting apprenticeships is unacceptable. Bonnie Nichols No Against Not in the best interest of workforce dev. in the state. Margie Goodrich No Against I strongly oppose reducing or eliminating apprenticeship standards of competency. Patrice Parker No Against The rules and regulations are there for a very good reason - to protect the lives and limbs of the workers, and to protect the public from the dangers that come from shoddy workmanship. Robert Yost No Against Forward standard reply of opposition by local 341. Sergio F. Acuna, No Against Eliminating apprenticeship standards, Business Rep. and allowing journey worker to trainee Laborers’ Local 341 ratios of up to 10:1 would create dangerous job site conditions and put construction workers at greater risk of serious injury and death.

Michael Rodgers No Against I'm against the Proposed Regulations to weaken apprentice standards. Alex Chung No Against These so-called regulations will place workers at greater harm. Please put a stop to these efforts. Nona Dimond, IBEW No Against …would wreak havoc on Alaska’s construction apprenticeships. Becky Moeller No Against Safety workers and me as a tourist. Michael Speciale, No Against Making these proposed changes will IBEW ultimately culminate in a net loss of value to our state. To save us from a thesis, I will reduce my concerns to a pithy quote. George McGuan Yes Against What I would like to know most of all is why this change was deemed to be necessary. Was there any input from a single tradesman or tradeswoman? Sean Kelley No Against These regulations undercut our longstanding, privately-funded training programs supported by contractors and construction workers Brandon McGuire No Against Both the proposed changes in apprenticeships and licensing are ridiculous and will only hurt the state in the long run. It's obvious that whoever came up with this idea has no clue what they are doing. Michelle Gillette No Against Stop job-killing, harmful regulations Cam Farrally Yes Against Did you know the IBEW was formed to fight for worker safety because at the time (the 1890’s) being a power lineman was the most dangerous job on earth?

Dennis O’Connell No Against I feel the proposed worker safety are a dangerous move since they weaken worker safety overall. Amber Cartier, ABC of No See letter. Several concerns. Alaska Tyler Desjarlais No As a citizen voicing my opinion during public comment, I oppose changes to proposed regulations to increase the ratio of journeyman to apprentices from 1:1 to 10:1. Shelly Fraley Yes Against I ask you, would you yourself rather have someone working on your job who could cause harm or be harmed due to poor training. Imagine if that were your son, daughter, husband, wife or grandchild. See email for comments. Steve Wisdorf, Wired No Against I am TOTALLY Opposed to these new AK LLC regulations. John Jensen No Against I am highly dubious about the proposed change to apprenticeship training programs for Alaska electricians and plumbers. James B. Hamilton No Against Barbara McDaniel No Against Protect Alaskans and Jobs - Say No to Proposed Regulations April Lewis No Against These changes lower education & safety for our state's workforce & should not be approved. Jason P. Ebberson No Against Keeping the COF is necessary to save lives. This isn’t a game. Joel Ramert No Against The most important and meaningful training and knowledge in apprenticeship programs is the one on one work with a journeyman. Everett Collins No Against James Dahl No Against Eliminating apprenticeship standards, and allowing journeyworker to trainee ratios of up to 10:1 would create dangerous job site conditions and put construction workers at greater risk of serious injury and death. Mike Snell No Against If this change in regulation occurs there will be added injuries and hazardous work done that will expose workers and the public to injury. Terry McGahan No Against This change is a terrible idea, Alaska's work place is dangerous enough .keep the existing system intact.

Any Korzenwhisky No Against This is a terrible idea for skilled professions and trades, especially in the dangerous electrical field. Thayne Hacking No Against Wanting to reduce the ratio of jry to apprentice is a bad decision. Ryan Burnett No Against The proposed ratio change from 1:1 to 10:1 for journeyman/apprentice ratio is unfathomable. Robert Schachle No Against I truly think by bypassing Apprenticeship and taking away the fitness card I believe it will hurt Alaska as a hole. John Waldrop No Against This proposed regulation is absolutely a joke and not needed in Alaska! Brannon Nichols Yes (after Against Why would we loosen requirements to the obtain certification in some of the most deadline) dangerous jobs in the State? Clayton Bessette, UA No Against To remove regulations exposes the Local 375 public and the workforce to severe and even fatal accidents. Aspen Marlin No Against If we make it a 10-1 ratio with little to no training it will be pure chaos. John Johnson No Against Bring down the knowledge and training as well as prolong the apprenticeship to the extent the good workers will seek other jobs with ample pay. Jesse Kolbeck No Against It would be a huge mistake to take away the apprentice for our lineman trade, we need the time and knowledge put in to maintain our electrical grid safely and properly. George Radulescu No Against Seth Hurd No Against My biggest concern is safety for the workers and these proposed changes laugh in the face of safety.

  • Support for CSHB 41

    Support for CSHB 41

    To: Representative Dan Ortiz [email protected] RE: Support for CSHB 41 Dear Representative Ortiz, April 17, 2020 On behalf of the Alaska Mariculture Task Force (Task Force), I would like to express strong support for the Senate Finance Committee Substitute version of HB 41, which would accomplish several priority recommendations of the Task Force, as a part of a larger plan to fully develop the mariculture industry in Alaska, with a goal to grow a $100 million per year industry in 20 years. The Task Force members recognize the difficult circumstances that cut short legislative action on CSHB 41. However, it was still a great disappointment to be dead in the water although the bill was in its last committee of referral after efforts by industry, successive administrations and the Legislature for five years to pass this important enabling legislation. The Task Force believes that growth of the mariculture industry can play an important role in Alaska’s economic recovery from the COVID-19 disaster; however, passage of CSHB 41 is central to fully enabling that economic potential. If there is a chance for the Legislature to come back into session, please consider passage of this bill as a priority. In 2016, Governor Walker established and appointed members to the Task Force by Administrative Order No.280, with the directive to provide recommendations to develop a viable and sustainable mariculture industry. In 2018, the Task Force completed a statewide comprehensive plan in order to accelerate the development of mariculture - the Alaska Mariculture Development Plan (attached is a brief summary of the full Plan).

  • Alaska Legislative Digest No

    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.

    Alaska State Legislature Office of the Senate President

    Alaska State Legislature Office of the Senate President October 22, 2019 The Honorable Kevin Clarkson Attorney General for the State of Alaska 1031 West 4th Avenue, Suite 200 Anchorage, AK 99501-1994 <Delivered Electronically> Attorney General Clarkson, Your most recently released opinion on the constitutionality of Alaska’s local hire laws (2019 Op. Alaska Att'y Gen. Oct.3) caused consternation to myself and many of my constituents. Our state has for six decades strove to maintain a balance between being unfairly parochial while maintaining opportunities for Alaska residents to access gainful employment. Time and again, Alaska’s local hire laws have been tested and refined through the judicial process at both the state and federal level. Currently, the law of our State is clear: if there is a determination that a zone of underemployment exists, and a contractor is bidding on a project that uses state dollars, that contractor must prioritize Alaskans in their hiring in order to receive the contract. As the principal legal officer in our State, you have a duty to defend the laws of this State. The current statutes for prioritizing Alaska hire have not been found to be unconstitutional. Therefore, the current Alaska hire laws are still valid, and you are constitutionally required to enforce those laws. Your office has levelled accusations against the Legislature of unconstitutional and unlawful action. Your ad hoc determination that the laws of our land, which remain untested in the courts, are unconstitutional is a diversion into the lawmaking field that is rightfully the purview of this branch of government.
