STATE OF ALASKA                                                                 BILL NO. HB 363
2022 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
   HB 363 provides for legislative findings related to broadband and establishes the Office of Broadband, the Broadband
   Parity Adjustment Fund, and the Statewide Broadband Advisory Board within the Department of Commerce, Community,
   and Economic Development (DCCED). The Office, Fund, and Advisory Board would be repealed on June 30, 2030.
   The Office of Broadband will be established as a new component in the Executive Administration and Development
   Results Delivery Unit. Three positions would be needed to establish the office, with two additional positions added in
   FY2024. Depending on grant activity and regulatory requirements that are tobedeveloped, additional grant staff and
   additional staff with technical expertise may be needed.
   Regulations will be needed to define grant processes and set the broadband cost offset rate, proceeds of which will be
   deposited into the Broadband Parity Adjustment Fund. Legal support services for the board and for regulations
   development will be needed. Contractual support services for initial and ongoing rate setting will be needed, as well as
   contractual support in support of board initiatives. Contract support will also be necessary for planning and grant making,
   which may include mapping, gap analysis, or other activities. The Board does not receive travel or per diem
   reimbursements; however, some services costs will be needed to support the board with room rental, materials
   preparation, and other incidental costs. The amount of grants to be made in each fiscal year is not known.
   Initial costs for the office will be funded from federal revenue from the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment
   Program (BEAD) program, which is expected to begin being received in FY2023
