FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. HB 117
2021 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
HB 117 extends statutory authorization for the existing Board of Certified DirectEntry Midwives to June 30, 2023.
Adoption of the bill will continue existing activities by the board and administration by the Division of Corporations,
Business, and Professional Licensing (CBPL). Failure to adopt the bill would result in a oneyear wind down of the board in
FY2022, with CBPL assuming all licensing responsibility in FY2023.
If the bill passes the following expenses will be incurred:
Travel: $20.3 (5 board members and 1 staff member, 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 licensing program will continue. Annual expenditures are
estimated to be approximately $29.0 with revenues from license fees covering those expenses. Current schedules of
revenues and expenditures for CBPL licensing programs are located online at
https://www.commerce.alaska.gov/web/Portals/5/pub/FY212ndQtrAllBoards.pdf.
If this legislation is not passed and the board sunsets, CBPL would continue to require access to expertise in the
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 CBPL 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.
