FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. HB237
2024 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
This legislation would allow the Board of Nursing (“board”) to issue temporary permits to nurses looking to reinstate their
lapsed Alaska licenses so they could get back to work in Alaska more quickly while meeting all the reinstatement
requirements. The requirements for the temporary permit would be established by the board in regulation. This would be
similar to the temporary permits the board/division issues now for nurses applying for new licenses by endorsement (i.e.,
they hold a license in another state).
If the bill passes the one-time printing, postage, and legal costs for regulations project will be covered by the division's
existing authority.
Professional licensing programs within the Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing are funded by
Receipt Supported Services – fund source 1156 Rcpt Svcs (DGF). Licensing fees for each occupation are set per AS
08.01.065. The total amount of revenue collected approximately equals each occupation’s actual regulatory costs.
