FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. LL 0072-3
2023 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
This bill adds to the list of parental rights regarding their student(s) participating in activities or classes, specifically
activities involving gender identity, human reproduction, or sexual matters. It directs districts to create procedures and
timelines for parental notification in order for the parent to “opt in” to the activity or classes involving gender identity,
human reproduction, or sexual matters. In addition, parental consent is required for any name change or pronoun. The
bill also provides remedies for parents regarding the violation of these district policies.
Additionally, this bill prohibits a school district or regional educational attendance area from selectively withholding
information regarding their child’s physical, medical, or mental health from parents or legal guardians unless it is
determined that the information may result in child abuse or neglect.
Finally, the bill requires districts to create policies and procedures to ensure the safety and privacy for students in locker
rooms and restrooms by providing a separation by biological sex.
The effective date of this legislation is July 1, 2023 (FY2024).
The fiscal impact of this bill is a one‐time cost of $6.0 legal services costs associated with regulation development.
