Chapter 102, SLA 2001 Effective Date: 07/14/01 I did not expect to see again this year the legislature making specific grants out of the Alaska Technical and Vocational Education Program account. Last year's grant from this program to the University of Alaska, Kotzebue Technical Center and Alaska Vocational Technical Center were presented as a one-time, transitional provision until the Alaska Human Resource Investment Council was able to establish the grant program. It is disturbing to see these line-items again this year, and to see to the practice expand in scope with new grantees without any formal selection process. 2001-07-20 Senate Journal Page 1890 I hope next year the legislature will allow this program to proceed as originally designed and intended under last year's Senate Bill 289. The Alaska Human Resource Investment Council is prepared to accept grant applications and award funding as deserved. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor
