A comprehensive data protection and privacy bill (SB 116, HB 159) has been introduced in Alaska. Similar to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and other recently proposed state laws, the Alaska Consumer Data Privacy Act (the Act) would give Alaskan consumers more control over their personal information, impose a series of requirements on covered business, and create a limited private right of action. The Act, however, goes even further than the CCPA with respect to the right to know and the right to disclosure by creating a five-year lookback period as opposed to the 12 months required by CCPA. Additionally, the Act would create a data broker registry. If enacted, it would go into effect on January 1, 2023.

Print article Mouhcine Guettabi, an economist with the Institute for Social and Economic Research, has warned that uncertainty about Alaska’s fiscal future has a cost of its own. The resulting caution among prudent investors discourages productive development and economic growth. Now it appears that many Alaskans are leaving the state for greener pastures. Under normal conditions, populations grow, but during the past four years, Alaska’s population has declined. Our legislators’ current push to fund the education budget and avoid pink slips for teachers highlights their recognition of the economic cost of uncertainty. Good for them!

KBBI s Kathleen Gustafson reporting on District 31 Representative Sarah Vance s votes in the Alaska House of Representatives for the week beginning April 18, 2021.
In the Alaska House of Representatives this week, House Bill 169 passed. The bill seeks to fund the State s school districts before the rest of the budget is complete.
HB 169 will also determine education funding over two years, instead of year to year, funding K-12 education in Alaska through June 30, 2023.
Funding schools for two years and ahead of the budget will mean that school districts can operate without issuing yearly layoff notices to teachers and other staff. District 31 Representative Sarah Vance of Homer voted against the bill, which passed, 25 to 14.
