FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. LL 0873-3
2019 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
The applicable sections of this bill relate to parole eligibility. The bill directs that inmates serving time for crimes for which
they may not earn statutory good time cannot be eligible for discretionary parole. This bill impacts approximately ten
individuals annually who would be considered for discretionary parole. It is normally granted to about 20 percent of those
for whom it is considered. The average reduction in time incarcerated is seven months.
This legislation will have a fiscal impact on insitutions because two individuals who would have received discretionary
parole will now remain incarcerated for an additional seven months each at a cost of $168.74 per day. This is an additional
434 days (14 months x 31 days) of care annually for an additional cost of $73.2.
Without knowing the actual impacted inmates, the specific institution where they will spend the additional time can't be
known at this point so costs are reflected in the Insitution Director's Office and will be allocated to the appropriate
component later.
The total cost per day for inmate care is comprised of all the costs involved, both direct and indirect.
