STATE OF ALASKA                                                                   BILL NO. HB54
2022 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
   This proposed legislation would create an Invasive Species Council within the Department of Fish and Game (DF&G). It
   also creates a new account in the general fund called the invasive species response fund. The Council is tasked with
   facilitating cooperation and communication among entities within and external to the council and to make
   recommendations to DF&G to prevent, manage and eradicate invasive species and recommend expenditures from the
   newly created invasive species response fund. As proposed, there would be a 27-member council representing 18
   different stakeholder groups, not including federal or state agencies, with varying expertise, interests and perspectives.
   In this legislation, the council members are not eligible to receive per diem or travel from DF&G. The legislation requires
   at least four meetings in the first year and at least one annual meeting in out years. For the purposes of this fiscal note,
   the department assumes the mandatory meetings will be held in person and additional meetings will be held
   telephonically as a way to reduce costs.
   Invasive Species Council
   Estimated costs to support the proposed council include:
   Personal Services - the department expects to need a Program Coordinator 2 position to support the council, facilitate
   implementing the bill and draft the 5-year strategic plans. This position would be used for nine months in the first year
   and six months in the outyears.
   Services - $13.7 for the first year and $4.0 in out years is expected for meeting support which would include meeting
   space, technology, and public involvement support.
   Invasive Species Management Decal
   This legislation requires the department to develop an invasive species management decal with the council and offer
   them for sale to the public for $20 each. The department estimates to collect $3.9 annually based upon an average of Fish
   & Wildlife Conservation Stamps that were sold between calendar years 2017-2019. Estimated costs to support the decal
   program include:
   Services - the department estimates a cost of $0.7 in the first year for a graphic design contract.
   Commodities - this includes $1.0 annually in outyears for printing/materials and $0.2 for marketing.
