HB 207-STUDENT QUESTIONNAIRES AND SURVEYS
3:47:44 PM
CHAIR WILSON announced that the only order of business would be
HOUSE BILL NO. 207, "An Act relating to questionnaires and
surveys administered in the public schools."
REPRESENTATIVE NEUMAN moved that the committee adopt CSHB 207,
Version 25-LS0680\E, Mischel, 4/11/07, as the working document.
There being no objection, Version E was before the committee.
3:49:47 PM
REBECCA ROONEY, Staff to Representative Peggy Wilson, Alaska
State Legislature, on behalf of Representative Wilson,
presented the changes included in Version E: page 2, line 2,
following "the right to", was inserted "grant"; and page 2, line
12, preceding "permission", was inserted "written".
MS. ROONEY provided the sectional analysis, which read as
follows [original punctuation provided]:
Section 1. Requires a school district to get written
permission to administer a questionnaire or survey.
It exempts anonymous surveys. Surveys that concern
public information are also exempted.
Section 2. Requires a school district to provide a
parent or guardian the opportunity to deny permission
to take an anonymous questionnaire or survey. Written
permission is not required.
Section 3. Defines a 2 week time frame for school
districts to notice parents of an upcoming
questionnaire or survey so that they may either deny
permission, for anonymous, or grant permission, for
non-anonymous, surveys.
Section 4. Defines what a written notice must contain.
Section 5. Adds language to current statute that
defines how a parent can deny permission for student
to participate in an anonymous survey.
3:51:34 PM
REPRESENTATIVE NEUMAN moved to report CSHB 207, Version 25-
LS0680\E, Mischel, 4/11/07, out of committee with individual
recommendations and the accompanying fiscal notes. There being
no objection, CSHB 207(HES) was so moved.
3:52:01 PM
