FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. LL0482
2023 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
This proposed bill amends Alaska’s homicide statutes by making it second‐degree murder to knowingly manufacture or
deliver a controlled substance in violation of certain controlled substance laws where a person dies as a direct result of
ingesting the substance; and the bill creates a new criminal offense and aligns with Governor Dunleavy’s public safety
priorities by holding offenders accountable for their actions.
The bill also amends AS 33.20.010(a) adding an exemption for good time sentencing credits for conduct involving
manufacturing, delivering, or possessing with the intent to manufacture or deliver a controlled substance.
Within the Department of Public Safety (DPS), Division of Alaska State Troopers (AST), the Alaska Bureau of Investigation
(ABI) comprises State Trooper Investigators working in specialized units in Anchorage, Mat‐Su, Fairbanks, Soldotna,
Southeast Alaska, and Western Alaska. ABI coordinates and conducts major criminal investigations, including homicides,
sexual assaults, fraud, forgery, computer and internet crimes, surveillance, missing persons, and lengthier property crimes
investigations. ABI is also tasked with enforcing bootlegging and illegal drug distribution throughout Alaska.
The new subsection of murder in the second degree proposed in this bill will not result in the need for additional resources
within ABI to handle homicide cases requiring investigation as written.
