FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. SB182
2022 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
This bill establishes the crime of interference with emergency communications. A person is guilty of interfering with
emergency communications if they knowingly make repeated calls to an emergency communications center to report an
incident that has already been reported and continues to call after being asked not to, makes repeated calls to an
emergency communications center knowing that there is not an emergency, uses obscene language with an operator with
the intent to intimate or harass the person, or, with the intent to disrupt the line of communication, the person interferes
with or otherwise disrupts communications between an emergency communications worker and emergency personnel.
Interference with emergency communications is a class A misdemeanor. However, if the person has been convicted on
two previous occasions within the preceding 10 years or the interference with the communication results in the serious
physical injury or death of another person, interference with emergency communications is a class C felony.
It is unclear how many additional cases would be referred to the Criminal Division for prosecution if this bill were to
pass. However, the targeted conduct is very specific and, therefore, the department does not anticipate that the potential
increase in cases will have a fiscal impact.
