House committee moves seafood‑task‑force bill on labor data disclosure from committee

Tim Lampkin, staff to Senator Stevens, reintroduced Senate Bill 181 to the House Education Committee on April 8, describing the bill as a product of the Alaska Seafood Task Force that would authorize disclosure of certain Department of Labor information to other state agencies. Lampkin said invited testimony and technical witnesses were available for questions but the committee reported the measure procedurally.

A committee member moved the recommended action (document 34‑LS‑0921/a) to move the bill from committee with attached fiscal notes and individual recommendations. Co‑chairs asked if there was any objection; none was recorded and the motion was carried from committee. No public testimony or policy debate occurred on the record during the committee’s procedural action.

The motion was a procedural referral from the House Education Committee; the committee did not take a policy vote on the bill’s merits during this meeting.
