FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. HB028
2024 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
House Bill 28, version U, would add a provision to Title 22 prohibiting the court system from publishing certain cases in
which a defendant was convicted of possession of less than an ounce of marijuana on its website (specifically CourtView),
if the defendant was over 21 at the time of the offense and if the person had no other convictions in that case. It further
would require the court to include certain notices on its website relating to this provision. Section 4.
Last year, the Alaska Supreme Court adopted a court rule change that already accomplishes what section 4 of this bill
would do. As of May 1, 2023, the category of cases described in the bill were removed from and do not appear on the
court's CourtView website. And the court system already posts information about records removed from CourtView and
about how to obtain a criminal background check.
This bill would not require any action or changed practices by the court system. The court system therefore submits this
zero fiscal note.
