                                                    FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA                                                                        BILL NO. SB 221
2024 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
   This bill removes cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) from AS 14.30.360(a) as recommended content for physical health
   and personal safety instruction and adds a new section AS 14.30.363 that requires CPR be provided in public schools using
   curricula developed by the Department of Education and Early Development (DEED) at grade levels determined by DEED.
   This fiscal note assumes that DEED will create the CPR curriculum and identify which grade levels are appropriate for
   instruction.
   This fiscal note contains the following one‐time expenses: 1) $400.0 for a facilitator to convene 20 qualified medical
   providers with educational expertise for their participation in the development of a K‐12 CPR curriculum, including
   stipends, travel, and facilitation fees; 2) $100.0 First Year certification training for certified trainers (includes cost for a
   facilitator and travel for certified trainers); and 3) $6.0 for legal fees to implement the necessary regulation changes.
   This fiscal note contains the following annual expenses: 1) $30.0 for printed materials; 2) $10.0 for supplies (cleaning
   supplies, gloves, etc. as identified by the curriculum); 3) $35.0 CPR/AED kits ($55.50 (whole dollars) per kit ‐ which supports
   15 students, approximately 635 kits are needed); 4) $375.0 Annual Curriculum training (2‐3 staff per district, depending on
   district size, up to 165 per year this includes stipends, travel, materials and supplies); 5) $75.0 annual certified trainer
   certification training (facilitator, travel for trainers, materials, and supplies.).
   It should be noted, after consultation with the Division of Risk Management, there is concern regarding the high liability
   exposure for DEED developing the CPR curriculum for Alaskan School districts. CPR curriculum should be developed and
   taught by CPR certified instructors. If CPR is taught to school students by non‐certified parties and something goes terribly
   wrong during the course of one of those students' providing CPR, the school district, or DEED, may be held liable for
   negligent and improper instruction.
   This fiscal note contains the following bi‐annual expenses: 1) $150.0 for a facilitator to convene 15 qualified medical
   providers with educational expertise for their participation in a review of curriculum against CDC guidelines every two
   years, including stipends and facilitation fees. (Can be conducted virtually)
