STATE OF ALASKA                                                                    BILL NO. SB029
2019 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
   SB029 extends the Board of Marine Pilots to June 30, 2027.
   This bill extends statutory authorization for the existing Board of Marine Pilots. Adoption of the bill will continue existing
   activities by the board and administration by the division. Failure to adopt the bill will result in a oneyear wind down of
   the board in FY2020, and the division will assume all licensing responsibility in FY2021.
   If the bill passes the following expenses will be incurred:
   Travel:           $26.9 (7 board members and 1 staff to attend four board meetings per year)
   Services:         $0.4 (advertising of public notice of board meetings)
                     $1.0 (Training and Conference Fees)
                     $0.1 (stipends for board members attending board meeting in community of residence)
   Regardless of whether this bill passes, activities and costs of the marine pilot licensing program will continue. Annual
   expenditures are estimated to be approximately $150.0, with revenues from license fees covering those expenses.
   Current schedules of revenues and expenditures for licensing programs are located online at
   https://www.commerce.alaska.gov/web/Portals/5/pub/CurrentFinancialReports.pdf.
   If this legislation is not passed and the board sunsets, the department would continue to require access to expertise in the
   marine pilot profession. Replacing the expertise currently provided by volunteer board members with professional service
   contracts may increase the annual costs of this program, resulting in increased license fees. No professional licensing
   board has sunset in recent years, so reasonable estimates of this cost are unknown.
   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.
