STATE OF ALASKA                                                                    BILL NO. SCS CS HB28
2024 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
   This bill limits access to certain criminal justice information for individuals convicted under Alaska Statute (AS) 11.71.060,
   or a municipal ordinance with similar elements, and prohibits the Department of Public Safety (DPS) from releasing the
   information under AS 12.62.160(b)(8) if certain conditions are met.
   The DPS Division of Statewide Services maintains the State’s criminal history repository used to disseminate criminal
   justice information under AS 12.62. The system would need to be modified in a manner to restrict dissemination of the
   criminal justice information as required by the bill.
   The criminal history repository is a legacy mainframe application that requires a programmer with a specialized skill set to
   modify the system. Based on previous programming changes of this scale and scope, the DPS estimates it will require 400
   hours for a contractor to learn, code, and test the system changes to ensure the modifications meet the desired
   outcome. The commonly accepted rate for a contractor with this skill set is $140 per hour, for a total estimated cost of
   $56,000 for the first year only.
   There are approximately 8,500 records in the state's criminal history repository for convictions that could qualify for
   restricted dissemination as outlined in this bill. Each of these records will need to be individually researched, and the DPS
   will need to hire a Criminal Justice Technician 1/2 to dedicate to this effort for two years with temporary incremental
   funding to research and identify qualifying records in the system.
   Cost for the position is as follows:                                               Year 1           Year 2
   Criminal Justice Technician 1/2, Anchorage                                         $102.6           $102.6
   Initial set‐up costs for training, office equipment, and supplies                  $18.4
   Ongoing costs for supplies, training, and other contractual obligations            $17.0            $18.0
   Total                                                                              $138.0           $120.6
