FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. HB 265CS(FIN)
2022 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
This legislation adds a section to centralized licensing regulations expanding and clarifying telehealth capacity for Alaska
licensed health care providers and for physicians licensed in another state who are providing telehealth under the bill's
narrow exemption. It also clarifies parameters of telehealth prescription of a controlled substance by physicians, physician
assistants, and advance practice nurse practitioners.
If the bill passes the following expenses will be incurred:
Services: 14.7 (legal costs to amend regulations, printing, and postage in first year)
Professional licensing programs within the Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing are primarily
funded by Receipt Supported Services, fund source 1156 Rcpt Svcs (DGF). Licensing fees for each occupation are set per AS
08.01.065 so the total amount of revenue collected approximately equals the occupations actual regulatory costs.
