FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. SB 184
2018 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
Senate Bill 184 would require certain criminal cases to be made unavailable to the public. Section 3 is the only bill section
that would impact the court system. That section specifies that if a defendant was convicted under AS 11.71.060 for
possession of less than one ounce of a schedule VI A controlled substance (marijuana), and if that person was not
convicted of any other charge in the same case, then the court will make that case file confidential.
The effect of making court case files confidential is that confidential cases do not appear on the public version of
CourtView (cases searchable via the court's website), and members of the public may not access that case file at a court
facility.
The court system can remove these cases from the public version of CourtView, and can disallow public access to the
paper files, without fiscal impact. Doing so will require some staff time for administrators to revise the CourtView
parameters and electronically designate the files as confidential, but we are able to absorb that task in the normal course
of business.
The court system therefore submits this zero fiscal note.
