We often refer to each Friday as “Kuspuk Friday”. The tradition started in the early 2000’s by Rep. Mary Kapsner (Mary Sattler) of Bethel to honor an aide, Katie Real, who had passed away from an illness. Floor staff, aides, and legislators have continued the Friday tradition over the last two decades.
Kuspuks are a comfortable and welcome colorful addition to the Capitol at the end of each week, and are a way we can show respect for the heritage of our state and the traditional values of all cultures and ethnicities. Here I am in my kuspuk last Friday preparing to preside over a Technical Senate Floor Session.
Greetings, Alaskan Friends and Neighbors:
As you all are very aware the Senate (comprised of 20 members) has been chugging along at a steady pace as an organized body since the first day of the session. The Alaska State House (comprised of 40 members), on the other hand, has had trouble getting their engine started.
This past week, however, they finally agreed on leadership and committee positions via a 22-yea vote for the Committee on Committees Report, and the House is now ramped up and functioning. I was quite disappointed, however, that once again the House Majority did not reflect the will of the voters according to the numbers. Despite the Republicans having the majority, two decided to trade in their commitment to the voters for positions of power within a Democrat-dominated and binding caucus.
A common creed amongst military service members is “leave no one behind”. Apparently these two House members, Representative Kelly Merrick and Sara Rasmussen, have adopted a different creed, “leave no one behind, unless you have the opportunity to trade in that loyalty for a House Finance seat and a bigger office”. I am supremely dismayed at the lack of forethought as this will deeply diminish the ability at the state level for the legislature and governor to provide the needed counterbalance to the negative impacts on Alaska at the federal level by the new administration’s policies pertaining to resource development and the economy.
As a legislature, moving our state toward a fair resolution to our fiscal crisis, bringing meaningful and substantive reform and efficiencies to state operations, ensuring security for each voter’s ballot, and working to improve accountability in our judiciary branch – these efforts will be much more difficult now. I truly hope that my two House colleagues who tipped the balance away from the voters will realize their mistake sooner rather than later and put good policy and the best interest of Alaska ahead of positions and office space. There is still time.
There is a bright spot though for our district despite all this. Representatives DeLena Johnson and Cathy Tilton (who represent Districts 11 and 12 respectively, within Senate District F) have proven to their House Minority colleagues their capacity for leadership during these troubling times.
I have known and watched these two outstanding Representatives from District 11 and 12 for years, and I can tell you that you will not find two finer examples of statesmanship, determination, and hard work in our State Capitol. Recognizing those traits, their colleagues have chosen Representative Cathy Tilton to be their Minority Leader and Representative DeLena Johnson to be one of their members on the House Finance Committee.
I have all the confidence in the world that Representatives Tilton and Johnson will diligently represent the values of District F and prioritize the things important to constituents. I hope that you will join me in both congratulating them and wishing them all the best as they begin their very important work this legislative session. You can drop them a note at Rep.Cathy.Tilton@akleg.gov and Rep.DeLena.Johnson@akleg.gov.
In addition, I hope you’ll take a few minutes to check out the articles I’ve included in this edition for your benefit and edification. One discusses a bill to improve the process for judicial selections in the lower courts: SB14. Another overviews the work of the Health and Social Services Committee thus far.

Who’s to judge?
Senate Bill 14, a bill sponsored by Senator Mike Shower, aims to strike a better balance in Alaska’s lower courts by giving the Governor and the people of Alaska more input into the selection of appellate judges and magistrates.
Critics of this legislation say it politicizes the process. But with recent rulings affecting political races that ignored or nullified clear legislative intent (as just one example of many), there is little doubt politics are already intertwined in our justice system.
In fact, the changes proposed in SB14 to the judicial selection process will actually decrease the politics in our court system. Increased involvement by those the people elect will ensure greater accountability and less politics by the Alaska Bar Association and the Judicial Council, two entities that currently hold tremendous power and control over who can and who cannot become a judge.
The problem
Alaska’s constitution is clear: both Superior and Supreme Court Justices must be vetted by the Judicial Council. The Governor can only make judicial selections from a list of two or more candidates the council offers.
The Judicial Council comprises:
- Three attorneys appointed by the Alaska Bar Association
- Three non-attorneys nominated by the Governor and confirmed in a joint session of the legislature
- The Chief Justice of the Alaska Supreme Court who serves as chair and provides tie-breaking votes
In other words, the Judicial Council consists of four attorneys / Bar members out of seven, who wield great influence over who can become a judge. The result is that one trade association, one profession, unelected by Alaskans, has great control over the judicial temperament of the courts.
Additionally, judges’ names are subject to a Bar member-controlled prescreening process before going to the council for consideration.
The result of this process is non-Bar members (the public) who have legislative and executive branch oversight are in a minority position to influence the final selection decision of the names to be forwarded to the Governor.
Simply put, it is a self-licking ice cream cone that creates a judicial oligarchy.
The [partial] fix
The Constitution prescribes the selection of judges for the Superior and Supreme Court, but it allows the legislature to change how magistrates and appellate court judges are selected and how all judges are screened, giving a path for SB 14.
- Currently, the Judicial Council prescribes 100% of the screening criteria; SB 14 gives direction to the Judicial Council on that subject.
- Currently, magistrates serve at the discretion of the Chief Justice; SB 14 would require magistrates be appointed by the governor from a list provided by the Judicial Council and confirmed by the legislature. The people, via the ballot, would decide whether or not to retain a magistrate.
- Currently, Appellate Court judges are nominated in a process that mirrors the Constitutional process for Superior and Supreme Court judges; SB 14 would add the requirement that the legislature confirm the person nominated by the Governor from the list provided by the Judicial Council.
- Currently, for the Appellate Court positions, the Governor must select a name from a list provided by the Judicial Council which can be as few as two names. SB 14 would allow the Governor to select an attorney not on the Judicial Council’s list. (Note: I am working with the sponsor’s office on some language changes to ensure the attorney is qualified and vetted, not a political appointment, etc.)
SB 14 helps ensure that our Judiciary branch of government has greater checks and balances and better reflects the people of Alaska. After all, our government is to be of the people, by the people, and for the people. Alaskans should have more say in who sits on the bench. This bill provides for more oversight of the courts by the legislators you have elected, empowering you.
Wish it weren’t so…..but Alaska is such an outlier among the 50 states that we’re off the chart in regard to state tax revenue from March to October 2020 during COVID-19 as compared to the same months the previous and non-COVID year.
We were down 32% while South Dakota and Idaho were up 8% and 10% respectively! This is not good, folks, but it’s what happens when a state is so heavily and almost solely dependent on just one revenue source – in our case, oil.
We must diversify our economy! What are your ideas for new industries for Alaska? How can we remove barriers for new businesses, for growth of existing companies, for innovative entrepreneurs? Send your ideas to my aide, Dawson.Mann@akleg.gov, or call him at 907-465-1173.
SB 43: Ridding Ballot Measures of Dark Money
SB 43’s short title is “An Act relating to campaign finance”. Why did I file it on your behalf and what’s it all about?
Ballot proposition #2, which passed in November 2020, shone light on “dark money” for candidate elections but failed to shine that same light on ballot propositions themselves.
SB 43 requires that “true sources” be reported when an intermediary group is donating more than $2000.00 aggregate in a calendar year to all elections.
On February 16, the State Affairs Committee members had a chance to learn from the Alaska Public Offices Commission (APOC) that they would implement the changes proposed in the bill for ballot measures similarly to their work now on applying the dark money provisions to candidates. This will require more time and resources, but the number of ballot measures is relatively small compared to the number of candidates in any given election.
A question arose regarding the constitutionality of the bill. My staff, Buddy Whitt, relayed to the committee that the legislative legal services department determined nothing in the bill to be unconstitutional because it does not repeal or change ballot proposal #2. It merely expands the scope of application. The bill was moved out of the committee without objection, and now awaits a hearing in its next committee of referral, the Judiciary Committee, where it is likely the topic of constitutionality will be discussed in further detail.
Quotes from Constituents and Alaskans
Comments: The Good, the Bad, AND the Ugly
I recognize this is the year Alaska has to get its finances under control. A spending cap along with hard decisions about taxation of our residents and the PFD will have to be the focus as no single change will resolve our issues. But we cannot just keep biting the hand that feeds us and expect that our primary revenue stream will not be impacted. – Kelly
Let the legislature be responsible for writing clear laws and the judiciary be called on to interpret grey areas within that framework. – Clare
Our state will be critically hurt in the future financially due to the demands from the federal government concerning environmental protections for the energy industry nationally. – Scott
Letting AK’s COVID emergency declaration expire is SHAMEFUL. You just flushed an entire public health toolbox down the toilet. Legislators who think simple recommendations regarding the pandemic will work need to get a clue. Too many people in AK are selfish and misinformed and won’t do what’s right. – Susan
Excellent idea on the public health declaration. The state needs to start healing and more restrictions will only hurt. – Lori
You’re a good one, Senator Hughes. – Paul

An Overview for You:
Senate Health and Social Services Committee
The Senate Health and Social Services (HSS) Committee deals with topics related to the programs and activities of the Department of Health and Social Services. So far, this committee has heard three bills, all related to the topic of health.
Senator David Wilson is the HSS Chair. I serve as his Vice Chair. Senators Mia Costello, Lora Reinbold, and Tom Begich are members of the committee.
We have heard three bills so far. We discussed the Governor’s SB 56 (which sought to extend the Covid emergency disaster declaration) in a prior newsletter. The bill was set aside because the House was not organized prior to the disaster end date and because there were multiple unanswered questions from the administration regarding the need for continued broad powers rather than narrowly defined powers related to the COVID recovery phase.
On February 18, we heard Senator Kiehl’s bill, SB 65 “An Act relating to immunity for consulting physicians, podiatrists, osteopaths, advanced practice registered nurses, physician assistants, chiropractors, dentists, optometrists, and pharmacists.” This bill protects a health care provider that is providing informal consultation to another health care provider from being held liable for that consultation provided that certain conditions are met. One of those conditions is that a written report cannot be produced as a result of that consultation. I successfully amended the language in the bill to clarify that for this condition to be met, a written report could not be produced by the consulting health care provider. This bill from Senator Kiehl was a good piece of legislation. It moved out of committee without any objection.
Another bill that we heard on February 18th was Senator Wilson’s bill SB 70: “An Act relating to opioid overdose drugs; and providing for an effective date.” The bill allows the chief medical officer to issue a standing order, including a statewide standing order for the prescription of an opioid overdose drug. Secondly, it removes the sunset date of June 30, 2021 so that health care providers can continue to prescribe naloxone to patients. Naloxone reverses the effects of an opioid overdose in an effort to save a person’s life. The original bill removed the department’s reporting requirement that detailed their expenditures related to substance abuse, mental health, and the opioid epidemic. After discussion, it was decided to leave the reporting requirement in place. This bill moved out of committee without objection.
This week in Senate HSS, on February 23, we will hear another bill from the governor: SB 67 “An Act relating to the licensure of nursing professionals; relating to a multi-state nurse licensure compact; and providing for an effective date.”
The Members of the Senate Health & Social Services for the 32nd legislature are as follows:
Senator David Wilson, Chair
Senator Shelley Hughes, Vice Chair
Senator Mia Costello, Member
Senator Lora Reinbold, Member
Senator Tom Begich, Member
Senate Health & Social Services has allocated Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1:30pm for meetings when it is necessary to bring matters before the committee.

Legislation Update
(Shelley’s bills filed with your best interest in mind)
The latest UPDATES are highlighted in yellow.
SB 27 – Industrial Hemp Program; Manufacturing- Many of you are aware that in 2018 I sponsored and the legislature passed SB6 allowing for the legalized growth and production of Industrial Hemp as an agricultural product in the Alaska. In late 2018 the US Congress passed the 2018 Farm Bill which made additional changes to the federal statutes regarding the production of industrial hemp. SB 27 makes a few small changes in Alaska statute in order to conform to those federal changes. This bill was referred to the Senate Labor and Commerce and Resources Committees. After we receive a response back to our inquiry from the Division of Agriculture, and complete any resulting follow-up, we hope to submit a hearing request for this bill to the Senate Resources Committee.
SB 41 – Health Insurance Info; Incentive Program. Also know as the Alaska Health Care Consumers Right to Shop Act. The goal of this piece of legislation is to bring down the cost of healthcare over time by instituting full cost transparency and an incentive to shop for healthcare services that are below the average cost. This bill was referred to the Senate Labor and Commerce and Finance Committees. We are scheduling a meeting with the Director of the Alaska Division of Insurance, Lori Wing-Heier, to discuss possible improvements to the legislation.
SB 42 – Virtual and Early Education, Reading- The “Education Transformation Act” enables districts to open up slots in classrooms to students in other locations and from other districts via two-way videoconferencing or other distance learning methods via internet. A menu of classes and teachers with video samples would open up a larger variety of course offerings and teaching expertise to students statewide. The bill also requires the state to adjust PRAXIS scores for teacher certification periodically. Districts would be required to post the ratio of administrators to classroom teachers to students each year. Districts could roll forward savings for the next year (up to an amount equal to 15% of current year’s expenditures) without impacting the amount of state funds to be received the next year. High school students could receive course credit for activities outside of school hours that districts determine meet the education or physical activity of a course. The bill establishes a “Read by 9” policy to ensure improved proficiency of students in reading by third grade. It also establishes cooperative agreements are expanded to include efficiency partnerships between districts and businesses, non-profits, and local governments. When between districts, the cooperative agreement is to include at least one rural school district. SB 42 also includes language focused on increasing the number of National Board Certified teachers in Alaska, requiring schools to post who is certified, and creating a halo around the superlative certification, showing the value of it. This bill was referred to the Senate Education and Senate Finance Committees. On Monday February, 15th, aide Dawson Mann and Sen. Hughes presented SB 42 in a hearing before Senate Education Committee. The bill was scheduled to be heard this past Friday and again yesterday, but Sen. Hughes has engaged in a discussion with the Education Chair, Senator Roger Holland, regarding the possibility of his using much of the language from SB42 to draft a Senate Education Committee bill. Sen. Hughes believes the importance and scope of SB42 make it an appropriate bill for sponsorship by a committee that serves the entire senate, rather than just by one legislator. Meanwhile, Sen. Hughes participated in an hour-long meeting on Friday with superintendents across the state to discuss the contents of the bill and to hear their input. Aide Dawson Mann is researching various virtual education and early literacy policies employed by other states as possible tweaks to improve the legislation, with the goal, of course, to improve student achievement outcomes and better equip Alaska’s children and youth for the future.
SB 43- Elections, Voting, Campaign Finance- “An Act relating to campaign finance and initiatives; relating to elections and voting; and relating to unlawful interference with voting”. SB 43 is about improving transparency and accountability in Alaska’s campaign finance laws as well as securing the integrity of Alaska’s election process. This bill was referred to the Senate State Affairs and Judiciary Committees. SB 43 received its first hearing February 2 in the State Affairs Committee. The working draft of a committee substitute was adopted to narrow this bill to the subject of campaign financing related to ballot initiatives. The chair explained he planned to merge the section on ballot harvesting with another bill. The bill received its second hearing on February 16, 2021. The committee substitute was adopted and the bill was moved out. It now awaits a hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee. On February 22, 2021 SB 43 was also given a referral to the Senate Finance Committee.
SJR 4 – Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Alaska relating to abortion. This bill will allow for the question of abortion to be decided through legislation or voter initiative. Each and every time that the legislature has passed legislation attempting to regulate in even the smallest and simplest manner the practice of abortion in the state, the courts in Alaska have stepped in to call any such provisions unconstitutional. Interestingly, the same provisions exist in many other states, including in states considered very progressive The passage of SJR 4 in the legislature and majority approval by Alaska voters will make it possible for the people to have a voice and express their will as it relates to abortion in our state. This bill was referred to the Senate Health & Social Services, Judiciary, and Finance Committees. A hearing request has been submitted to the chair of the first committee of referral.
