FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. SB 174
2022 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
SB 174 amends AS 14.03 Title 14 by adding a new section on dress code and natural hairstyles, which prohibits a school
governing body from prohibiting a student from wearing a hairstyle historically associated with race. Natural hairstyle is
defined to include braids, locks, twists and tight coils. Further the governing body cannot require a student to
permanently or semipermanently alter a students natural hair.
However, a school governing body may adopt a school dress code that restricts student hairstyles if the restriction is
necessary to comply with a health or safety law.
SB 174 also amends AS 23.10 Title 23 by adding a new section to Article 7 Employee Rights which prohibits an
employer from adopting a workplace dress code disallowing hairstyles historically associated with race, with the same
criteria and health and safety exception identified in Title 14.
The department anticipates no fiscal impact from SB 174.
