FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. LL 0049
2019 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
This legislation merges the Division of Labor Standards and Safety and the Division of Workers' Compensation into the
Division of Workers' Safety and Compensation. The new division would administer the same programs as are currently
administered by the two separate divisions. The department's regulations need to be updated to reflect the division
name change.
This merger would result in immediate administrative efficiencies resulting in position reductions and personal services
savings. The estimated cost savings is based on the reclassification of the Labor Standards and Safety Director (range 27)
to a Deputy Director (range 25) position, the elimination of the Occupational Safety and Health Chief (range 23) position
with those duties assumed by the Deputy Director, the elimination of a vacant office assistant II (range 10) position, and
the reclassification of a vacant Administrative Officer II (range 19) position to an Administrative Officer I (range 17)
position.
