FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. HB 360
2024 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
House Bill 360 establishes a board to investigate and report on the wages, workforce, and working conditions for personal
care services, hourly respite, and chore services.
The bill requires the board to meet at least three times annually and produce a biennial report of their findings and
recommendations to the Commissioner of the Department of Health. The commissioner can accept or reject the
recommendations but must provide written explanation of rejections to the board and to the legislative committees that
oversee health and social services. Rejections due to budgetary constraints require additional work with the Office of the
Governor and the Legislature to develop a budget proposal so that the recommendations can be accepted.
The bill requires that the biennial report be published on the department’s website. The bill also requires that an annual
report be published on the department’s website containing information about the mean and median wages for personal
care services, hourly respite, and chore services by agency.
Regulations will be needed to compel agencies to provide wage information for the public reporting requirements.
The department anticipates needing two additional Health Program Manager 2 positions to fulfill the reporting required
under HB360.
Personal Services: Two full‐time Health Program Managers 2 (including benefits): Range 19, located in Anchorage: $262.0
annually beginning in FY2025.
Travel: $20.0 annually for travel of the board and state staff for meetings and presentations.
Services: $30.0 annually for two positions for office space, phone, reimbursable service agreements for core services.
Commodities: $4.0 annually for office supplies.
One‐Time Commodities Cost: $10.0 for two positions in the first year for computers, software, and office equipment.
These cost will be calculated as part of the division's federally required matching contribution and funded as 50 percent
federal and 50 percent state match.
