FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. HB308
2022 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
This bill mandates the creation of a new program focused on dementia awareness. It requires the development and
implementation of evidence based, data informed strategies for an effective public awareness campaign that includes
assessments of the systems of care designed to serve those impacted by dementia.
Effective public health campaigns require dedicated messaging and activities on focused objectives that can be measured
to evaluate for effectiveness over time. They require the employment of a wide range of strategies, outreach, and
communication approaches that connect with a vast array of audiences by translating complex medical information into
digestible content that will resonate with the public. Campaigns should be geared to motivate and empower risk reduction
behaviors and for new behaviors to be considered and adopted.
The personnel costs for a full time Public Health Specialist II at a Step C needed for this program, plus fringe has been
included in the FY2023 budget. Travel will be needed for training and convening community partners and those with lived
experience to develop a strategic plan to implement all aspects of the legislation. Services costs are for contracts which
will focus on development of a statewide strategic plan along with these supporting activities to implement the overall
public education awareness campaign: creation of educational materials for distribution; assessments of systems; support
for outreach activities; support to maintain and publish annual data, general information, create and evaluate existing
resources, and support to create a centralized publicfacing user friendly website that can be actively maintained.
Commodities costs in year 1 are for computer equipment for the new position.
This funding will support the development of a foundational level dementia program that may grow over time if future
applications for competitive federally available funding for dementia programs (like the BOLD Act) are successful.
