 Why this fiscal note differs from previous version/comments:
 Updated analysis to reflect the new committee substitute, which changes the multiplier in statute for determining the Special Education

 changes made.

STATE OF ALASKA                                                                    BILL NO. CSSB 19
2021 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
   This bill amends AS 14.30.650, the funding for the Special Education Service Agency (SESA), by increasing the funding from
   eighteen dollars and sixtyfive cents ($18.65) times the average daily membership (ADM) to twentythree dollars and
   thirteen cents ($23.13) times the ADM.
   In addition, this bill amends AS 44.66.010(a)(6) to extend the sunset date of SESA from June 30, 2021 to June 30, 2029.
   The funding increase under this bill has an effective date of July 1, 2021 (FY2022); the rest of the bill has an immediate
   effective date.
   Per AS 14.30.650, the Department of Education and Early Development's FY2022 budget includes $2,404.4 to provide grant
   funding to support SESA's statutory responsibilities. Funding for the FY2022 budget was determined by multiplying $18.65
   by the ADM in the preceding fiscal year (FY2021 Projected) as determined under AS 14.17.600 ($18.65 x 128,923.91 FY2021
   Projected ADM = $2,404.4).
   The FY2021 ADMs were finalized March 15, 2021. The amended FY2022 SESA entitlement is $2,937.9 ($23.13 x 127,015.30
   FY2021 Final ADM); an increase of $533.5 compared to the FY2022 budget.
