FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. HB 306
2022 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
HB 306 extends statutory authorization for the existing Board of Pharmacy to June 30, 2028. 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 will result in a oneyear wind down of the board in FY2023, and the division will
assume all licensing responsibility in FY2024.
If the bill passes the following expenses will be incurred:
Travel: $20.2 (7 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 $614.1, 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/CBPLScheduleofRevenues_2022_Q2.pdf
If this legislation is not passed and the board sunsets, the Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic
Development 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 the Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing are primarily
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.
