First offense a warning then a ride to Beans Cafe or Anchorage Rescue Mission if they refuse automatic one day at Community Service Lockup.
Second offense $500 fine for solicitor plus ride to Beans Cafe or Anchorage Rescue Mission if they refuse then either three days at Community Service Lockup or a week at Cook Inlet Pretrial charged as a misdemeanor.
Third Offense $1000 fine for the solicitor. Now depending on background and personal choice either can spend six months at Cook Inlet Pretrial charged as a misdemeanor. If they are not from Anchorage they have the option one time of having the taxpayers purchase them a one way ticket where they came from and unless it is an in state medical emergency they are officially kicked out of the Municipality of Anchorage if they show up again must provide positive identification then they will spend an automatic six month at Cook Inlet Pretrial for trespassing unless a medical emergency.
Now all these offense can be reduced in an exchange for alcohol and drug related treatment of offender and 500 hours of supervised community service each offense. Judges and defendants have this option during sentencing.
After the second offense notice the Municipal Health Department to send a notice to the State of Alaska Department of Health and Social Services and the Social Security Administration since most panhandlers are recipients of the fraud program called Social Supplementary Income which needs to be eliminated completely. Since federal law prohibits anyone having benefits that involves a criminal record since 1997 the last real Federal Welfare Reform Act which I had a hand in helping five states pass and support of last real GOP congress and President Bill Clinton signed it into law.
Please tell mayor Dan Sullivan, Anchorage Police chief Mark Mew and your assembly you want fairness in panhandling enforcement which means punish the panhandler and the donor.
