FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. SS HB 268
2018 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
HB268 requires licensed healthcare providers to provide oral and written information on opioids under AS 08.68.710
before prescribing an opioid to a patient.
This legislation requires the prescriber to orally inform the patient the reason for prescribing the opioid, any nonopioid
alternatives to the prescription, any advantages or disadvantages of using a prescription for a shorter period, and a
warning that the prescription may lead to opioid addiction.
HB268 will require a written statement prepared by the department of Health and Social services that provides
appropriate information conveying the potential addictive and health danger of opioids.
This bill also permits the board to impose disciplinary sanctions against the licensee for repeatedly and without good
cause failing to provide oral and written information on opioids under AS 08.72.277 before prescribing.
If the bill passes the following expenses will be incurred:
Services: $15.5 (regulations project)
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 so the total amount of revenue collected approximately equals the occupations actual regulatory costs.
