FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. HB 150
2018 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
House Bill 150 would authorize the same pay, allowance, and benefits for state active duty personnel as federal
active duty personnel. When active state service is authorized by the Governor or Adjutant General as the
Governors designee, members of the organized militia would be entitled to receive, for each day of active state
service, pay in an amount equal to the pay received by a member of the regular armed forces of the United States
in the same grade and rank.
The existing pay system for the organized militia is based on compensation for the specific duty for which they
were called into service, rather than a typical pay structure based on experience, rank, and longevity. This pay
system is neither stable nor reliable for National Guard members, and constitutes a complex, cumbersome, error-
prone accounting system which requires considerable time to determine each members pay for active state
service.
The fiscal impact of this legislation cannot be accurately determined at this time. The nature, severity, and
duration of any state disaster will determine the number of members called to active duty and the extent of their
service. Due to multiple unknown factors, such as when disasters will happen, the number of militia members
called into active status, their ranks, and other factors, the Department is unable to calculate the estimated fiscal
impact to the state and therefore submits an indeterminate fiscal note.
While the Department cannot predict future calls to active duty, it can look back to recent examples to provide
real-life perspectives on the potential financial impact of HB 150 on future events.
