FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. HB 255
2018 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
This legislation gives the department the ability to issue citations and administer civil penalties to individuals and to
employers using employees who are operating without a valid certificate of fitness where one is required. The proposed
penalty for a first offense is $125 for an individual engaging in work and $250 for an employer. The proposed penalty for a
subsequent offense is $250 for an individual engaging in work and $500 for an employer.
Using FY13 to FY17 information on the number of individuals and employers working without appropriate certificates of
fitness, the department estimates that this legislation will result in an additional $17,000 in revenue to the general fund
each year. Actual revenue will vary based on the amount of penalties issued.
Provided below is the methodology used for estimating the annual revenue increase.
46 individuals engaging in work without a valid certificate 1st offense x $125 penalty = $5,750
5 individuals engaging in work without a valid certificate subsequent offense x $250 penalty = $1,250
22 employers using workers without a valid certificate 1st offense x $250 penalty = $5,500
9 employers using workers without a valid certificate subsequent offense x $500 penalty = $4,500
