FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. SB 131
2024 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
This bill seeks to amend AS 14.30 adding a new section to Article 10. The new section adds a requirement for districts to
provide department‐approved education on the history and contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. The
program would need to include content for grades K‐12 and must include instruction on the history of these populations
and their contributions in the United States.
This fiscal note contains three one‐time expenses: 1) in FY25 $30.0 for stipends ($1.5 each) for 20 educators and
community stakeholders for participation in the development of a rubric to evaluate programs; 2) in FY25 $35.0 to
contract an education expert to facilitate the development of a rubric for evaluation of programs; and, 3) in FY26 $6.0 for
legal fees to implement the necessary regulation changes.
The Department of Education and Early Development (DEED) plans to hold the necessary stakeholder engagement
meetings with participating educators and community stakeholders virtually and to publish the approved rubric and
evaluation process electronically on the DEED website.
No effective date is identified at this time.
