                                                 FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA                                                                   BILL NO. HB 155
2022 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
   House Bill 155 would transfer from the Office of Public advocacy (OPA)to the court system the duty to provide court
   visitors in guardianship cases, and in cases involving the involuntary administration of psychotropic medication. This fiscal
   note reflects the cost of that transfer, which is based on the most recent costs incurred by OPA for this work, plus one
   additional staff person to oversee the training, supervision, and scheduling of court visitors.
   By statute, Judges appoint court visitors provided by OPA to assess the needs and conditions of respondents in
   guardianship proceedings. Visitors are neutral evaluators who submit their assessment directly to the judge in the case.
   Visitors also make reports on the continuing appropriateness of the guardianship by conducting a follow-up reviews every
   three years. Finally, court visitors are appointed in cases where an evaluation or treatment facility requests that a court
   order a person in their care to receive psychotropic medication. The visitors role in that type of appointment is to assess
   the competency of the person to consent, or not, to the administration of the drug.
