FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. SB047
2020 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
SB 47 replaces the term "physical therapy assistant" with the national standard "physical therapist assistant." The bill also
updates the education requirements, redefines what is an approved accrediting agency, redefines membership on the
board, and allows foreigntrained applicants to forego the "test of English as a foreign language" (TOEFL) if the program
was taught in English. Finally, this bill institutes minor program changes including revisions to the membership of the
board and adding failure to comply with the chapter, a regulation under the chapter, or an order of the board as a
violation.
If the bill passes the following expenses will be incurred:
Services: $2.3 (printing, postage, and legal costs for regulations project to conform with statutory changes)
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.
