SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 1
Relating to a legislative task force on civics
education.
2:24:42 PM
Co-Chair MacKinnon stated that SCR 1 was previously heard
and the public testimony had been opened and closed.
Vice-Chair Micciche discussed FN 2, explaining that there
was a zero fiscal note on operating from FY 16 through FY
21. He explained that this revised fiscal note differed
from the previous in that the $5.9 thousand dollars in
travel costs requested on the previous note would be
absorbed, and it was truly a zero fiscal note.
Co-Chair MacKinnon asked for confirmation that the bill
would be of no additional cost to the state.
TIM LAMKIN, STAFF, SENATOR GARY STEVENS, explained that FN
2 was indeed a zero fiscal note and the bill would have
zero cost.
Senator Dunleavy stated that he had heard the bill in the
Senate Education Committee and thought it was a good
approach to trying to deal with an issue of civics that
seemed to be a growing problem in the United States. He
supported the legislation.
2:26:53 PM
Senator Olson wondered if the bill would be viewed by
educators as an unfunded mandate. Mr. Lamkin related that
it was not the intent of the sponsor to increase mandates
or obligations for school districts. He thought the task
force would be sensitive to the issue of unfunded mandates.
Senator Olson wondered if the sponsor had heard from any of
the school districts as to whether they were in favor of
the bill. Mr. Lamkin did not have anything in writing to
demonstrate such support, but noted that school board
members were listed in the resolution as part of the task
force.
Vice-Chair Micciche MOVED to REPORT CSSCR 1(EDC) out of
committee with individual recommendations and the
accompanying fiscal note. There being NO OBJECTION, it was
so ordered.
CSSCR 1(EDC) was REPORTED out of committee with a "do pass"
recommendation and with one new zero fiscal note from the
Senate Finance Committee for the Legislature.
