FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. SB 35
2019 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
This bill adds conduct to the definition of indecent exposure in the first degree, a class C felony punishable by up to five
years of incarceration. The bill creates a class B felony punishable by up to ten years of incarceration for conduct related to
indecent viewing or production of pictures" of minors. The bill raises potential prison terms for some sex offenses and
eliminates marriage as a defense to certain sex offenses. The bill also provides legislative intent to overturn specific
caselaw and protect the public from sex offenders.
Cases with increased penalties and higher charging levels require more litigation throughout all stages of litigation, but
particularly increase jury trials, contested sentencing hearings, and post-conviction litigation. The Public Defender Agency
anticipates an increase in workload and increasing costs for the Agency related to the litigation of these cases. Therefore,
the agency submits an indeterminate fiscal note.
