                                                FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA                                                                 BILL NO. HB 142
2021 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
   This bill proposes to expand the allowable absences exceptions to include individuals absent from Alaska for more than
   180 days because of employment in the aviation industry, as long as other type absences do not exceed 45 days in
   addition to those allowable for employment in the aviation industry. It will also require a member of the armed forces to
   physically reside in Alaska under orders of the armed forces immediately before claiming an allowable absence.
   The repeal of AS 43.23.005(a)(4) would eliminate the requirement for anyone to meet the 72 consecutive hours of
   physical presence in Alaska.
   The repeal of AS 43.23.005(f) would eliminate the waiver from the commissioner regarding the requirement to be
   physically present in Alaska for at least 72 consecutive hours in the prior two calendar years.
   The repeal of AS 43.23.008(e) would eliminate the requirement of an individual to prove they intend to return to Alaska
   and remain in the state.
   The bill as proposed, determines Alaska residency based on the 30-day rule for those with more than 180 days of
   allowable absences in each of the preceding 5 consecutive qualifying years. (30-day rule reference AS 43.23.008(d)).
   The fiscal impact of the proposed legislation is one-time administrative and programming work in FY2022.

   - Modify paper applications and forms to include the new absence types, totaling 10 hours
   - Update website help content - 5 hours
   Programming work (standard programming rate of $120 per hour):
   - Add the new absence type to the online application - 8 hours
   - Add the new absence type to the DAIS PFD operating system - 10 hours
   - Add issue logic in DAIS - 10 hours
   - Create new Request for Information Letter - 3 hours
   - Create new denial letter - 3 hours
   - Modify absence reports - 2 hours
   Modify Regulations - 40 hours (average rate $60 per hour)
   Total costs - one time only:

   Total - $7,095.00
