Summary

The bill changes Alaska’s nursing fee structure so that the amount collected from licensees roughly matches the department’s and Board of Nursing’s regulatory expenses. It requires the Department of Health to review fees each year, adjust them as needed, and report the results. Single‑state nursing licenses would be charged the full cost, while multistate licenses or privileges would be charged about half that amount.
