9:25:35 AM
Co-Chair Olson queried the number of questions on the exam.
Senator Stevens replied that the exam was one hundred
questions.
Co-Chair Olson wondered whether the bill would be
considered an unfunded mandate.
Senator Stevens replied that he had heard that it would be
considered an unfunded mandate, but remarked that the state
funded education. He stressed that there was an expectation
in the school system that it provided the students with
what it means to be a citizen.
Co-Chair Olson wondered what kind of resistance had been
received against the legislation.
Senator Stevens deferred to Mr. Lamkin.
Mr. Lamkin explained that there was a component of the bill
that allowed repeating the test or taking a semester course
until receiving a passing grade.
Co-Chair Olson wondered whether there was a disadvantage
for the rural students.
Senator Stevens replied that that there was an account
taken into account for the rural students.
Senator Kiehl remarked that the state required three years
of social studies, and wondered whether the semester of
civics could be considered a social studies requirement.
Mr. Lamkin replied that the bill did not mean to be
prescriptive, and allowed for the current local control.

RESEARCH AT GENERATION CITIZEN, WEST VIRGINIA (via

states. He stated that West Virginia required a civics
assessment for graduated.
9:36:51 AM
LISA BOUDREAU, DIRECTOR, STATE POLICY AT CIVX NOW, JUNEAU
(via teleconference), read from a prepared statement:
Good afternoon, I'd like to thank the three co-chairs,
Stedman, Hoffman and Olsen and the other honorable
members of the Committee. It's an honor to testify
before the Alaska Senate Finance Committee.
My name is Lisa Boudreau, and I serve as Director of
State Policy for the CivXNow Coalition, a project of
iCivics.
Before detailing our work at CivXNow and addressing
the merits of Senate Bill 29, I want to speak to the
perilous state of our constitutional democracy.
We've long lamented the state of civic knowledge
in the country, and the annual Annenberg Public
Policy Center's Civic Knowledge Survey released
last September is cause for continued concern:
• Less than half (47 percent) of U.S. adults
could name all three branches of government, down
from 56 percent in 2021. One in 4 respondents
could not name any.
• Asked to name the five rights protected by the
First Amendment, fewer Americans could name any
of the five than in 2021. For example, less than
1 in 4 people (24 percent) could name freedom of
religion, down from 56 percent the prior year.
Turning to K-12, we're all too familiar with
depressing scores from the nation's report card, the
National Assessment of Educational Progress, where
civics and U.S. history scores regularly rank lowest
among all subjects tested. In 2018, only 24 percent of
8th graders were deemed proficient on a test measuring
civic knowledge, skills, and dispositions, and a
paltry 15 percent were proficient in US history.
Lastly, in Alaska there is currently not a designated
position in the Alaska Department of Education that is
focused on social studies.
These results taken together, it's fair to question
the extent to which Americans and Alaskans are
prepared for informed, effective, and lifelong civic
engagement. Solutions are not immediate or singular,
but as social studies educators and advocates, we
offer the most promising long-term plan for
strengthening and sustaining our democratic
institutions.
Stated simply, civic education is key to rebuilding
trust in institutions and one another, fostering
informed patriotism and civility, and empowering
citizens to build a more perfect union.
This statement is not just based on what I think, We
know it's what voters and parents want. Last fall,
pollster Brent Buchanan and his firm Cygnal gauged
public support for stronger K12 civic education. The
poll engaged a national sample of 3,002 adults in
September 2022, including 2,385 likely voters; 1,195
Republican primary voters; and 803 K12 parents, with
substantial overlap across groups. Overall,
respondents demonstrated strong support for more
emphasis on civics.
Two-thirds of likely voters think civics in schools
should be emphasized more, with Republican primary
voters (64 percent) and parents (59 percent). Similar
numbers across these three groups see civics as more
important now than it was five years ago (likely
voters, 69 percent; Republican primary voters, 66
percent; and K12 parents, 66 percent). And early two-
thirds of likely voters (65 percent) support more
funding to ensure every child receives an adequate
civic education, as do 59 percent of Republican
primary voters and 64 percent of K12 parents.
However, civics has been neglected over the past 50
years, coinciding with the troubling trends that I
outline in the beginning of my testimony, we estimate
that the federal government invests in civics at less
than fifty cents per K-12 student versus $50 per
student in STEM subjects.
This comes on the heels of two decades of retrenchment
in social studies education since No Child Left
Behind. The Council of Chief State School Officers
estimates that 44 percent of school districts have cut
back on instructional time for social studies over a
20-year period. Alaska is one of only 3 states that
lack a State Social Studies Coordinator position,
which is the only person in a Department of Education
who focuses on supporting districts in social studies.
I'm here representing a coalition, CivXNow, that is
285 organizations strong and representative of the
country's political and geographic diversity.
Our coalition facilitates:
• Aggregation of research and measurement to make
the empirical case for high quality civic
learning opportunities across the curriculum and
throughout students' K-12 experience
• Narrative change to position civic learning as
fundamental to our nation's democratic strength
• And policy and advocacy to push for adoption of
state and federal policies that incentivize
schools' civic mission.
CivXNow established a state policy task force with
membership from 40 states (Alaska is not among them).
Our coalition seeks to support local stakeholders,
establish relationships with state policy makers,
identify and activate behind policies to strengthen K-
12 civic education, and ultimately, to ensure their
implementation.
We articulate 8 main policy recommendations to states,
they include:
1. Universal access to high-quality civic
learning experiences, this includes (stand-alone
civics courses in middle and high school and
designated instructional time in K-5)
2. Civics centered in state standards
3. Assessment and accountability (such civic
seals and K-12 civic learning plans from
districts)
4. Pre- and in-service teacher professional
development
5. Schoolwide and community commitments to civic
learning, such as commissions such as the one
this bill proposes.
6. Resourcing policy implementation
We conducted a 50 state policy scan with these
provisions in mind and found:
• 37 states and DC require a high school
civics course, but only seven for a full
year. (Alaska is not among them).
• Turning to middle school, the situation is
bleaker with only seven states requiring a
stand-alone civics course. Twenty-six states
and DC, not including Alaska, do require
civics instruction.
• Civics is officially assessed in 32
states, passage of the U.S. Naturalization
Test the most frequent vehicle (Alaska does
not require a civics assessment).
• Finally, 24 states and DC provide students
with credit for completing service learning
projects (While Alaska doesn't provide
credit for service learning, districts may
do so).
Senate bill 29, sponsored by Senator Stevens, will
create a permanent Alaska Commission on Civics
Education, composed of leaders in our state
government, teachers and students, serving to
periodically forward recommendations to our state
Board of Education and Early Development. Commissions
like these have been formed in other states such as
Indiana and Georgia. The bill will also create
required course time and a civics test for high school
graduation.
The restoration and reinvigoration of civic education
in Alaska will be a long, yet worthy process.
Commitments from educators, administrators, policy
makers, and other stakeholders will have to be made to
uphold the desire to revamp civic education. I have an
optimism about the state of civic education in Alaska
in that the new Commission will develop a plan based
on proven practices in civic education. It will be
critical for the Commission to internalize all
research on civic education and act upon its
recommendations. It will also be critical for the
Commission to support educators with resources,
training, and clear guidance so that implementation is
successful.
At a time when our civic health is badly bruised, and
our political discourse seems more polarized than
ever, the prospects for knitting together our fraying
democracy may well rest on what happens in classrooms
across this great state and in this legislature.
Across the country, parents and educators want kids
to: gain the knowledge and concrete skills that come
from high-quality civic education; learn the
essentials of government, specifically the U.S.
Constitution and its intellectual underpinnings, the
three branches of government, and federalism; and
understand the rights and responsibilities of
citizens.
You may have heard during the first hearing on SB 29
from the Alaska State Social Studies Council President
and President-Elect who testified on behalf of SB 29
from their classrooms with students watching in the
background. They said that our path forward is
stronger state K-12 civic education policies to ensure
that our students graduate with the civic knowledge,
skills, and dispositions necessary for self-
governance. Thank you for carrying forward this
important policy to help teachers make that possible
in classrooms across the state of Alaska.

9:57:18 AM
KELLY MANNING, DEPUTY DIRECTOR, INNOVATION AND EXCELLENCE
IN EDUCATION, JUNEAU (via teleconference), spoke to the
fiscal note.
Senator Wilson queried the regions of the members of the
commission. He wondered whether the commission requirements
were too excessive.
Ms. Manning replied that the funding would include
educators from across the state. She stated that an
educator group of 20 was a standard size.
10:00:53 AM
Senator Wilson wondered whether the stipends were for the
educators.
Ms. Manning replied in the affirmative.
Senator Bishop wondered whether there was a consideration
of established curriculum.
Ms. Manning replied that the development of curriculum
began with existing curriculum.
Co-Chair Olson wondered why the fiscal note was so much
higher than the fiscal note for similar legislation from
the year prior.
Ms. Manning replied that the increase was reflected in the
current year for similar work on the state level.
Co-Chair Olson queried the differences in cost requirements
for programs.
Ms. Manning responded that the fiscal note reflected the
cost of one staff person. She stressed that she was not
involved heavily in the Alaska Reads Act.
Senator Wilson wondered whether the coordinator could be
the facilitator.
Senator Stevens replied that he felt that the department
was attempting to kill the bill with the high costs.
Senator Wilson recalled that similar commissions had used a
coordinator and wondered why they could not also be the
facilitator.
Ms. Manning replied that the department would follow the
recommendations of the legislature.
10:11:18 AM
Co-Chair Stedman felt that the fiscal notes could be
adjusted in the end.
Mr. Lamkin explained that the bill was modeled after two
states that included similarly structured commissions.
Senator Merrick looked at page 4, lines 1 through 3. She
asked about how the requirement would be filled without a
recognized minority.
Senator Stevens replied that it was a good question, and
stated that he would examine that issue in the bill.
Co-Chair Olson CLOSED public testimony.
Senator Stevens encouraged the committee to take the exam.
SB 29 was HEARD and HELD in committee for further
consideration.
SENATE BILL NO. 98
"An Act relating to the power cost equalization
endowment fund; and relating to the Alaska Permanent
Fund Corporation."
10:17:08 AM
KEN ALPER, STAFF, SENATOR DONNY OLSON, discussed the
presentation, "Senate Bill 98 Power Cost Equalization Fund
Management" (copy on file). He discussed slide 2, "What
Does SB98 Do?"
The Power Cost Equalization Endowment Fund has about
$1 billion Currently, it is managed by the Department
of Revenue SB98 would transfer management to the
Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation
•The APFC would manage the money alongside their
own assets.
•The PCE would be exactly as diversified as the
Permanent Fund
•(This is what they currently do for the Mental
Health Trust fund)
•Regular reporting to the legislature regarding
asset value and income
Mr. Alper addressed slide 3, "Why change it?
• More diversity: the Dept. of Revenue's managers can
only invest in stocks and bonds, and not the various
alternative investments used by the Permanent Fund
• More stability: the PCE fund has changed its
earnings goals and investment allocation at least
three times in the last four years.
o Fund lost close to $200 million in FY2022 (
• Less liquidity: managers moved much of the fund out
of equities in early FY2021 expecting there would not
be a "reverse sweep" at the end of that year, and
missed big market gains.
o PCE fund made 14 percent in FY21, while the
Permanent Fund made 29 percent. That premature
liquidation may have cost the fund $150 million.
o Courts later determined fund wasn't sweepable.
10:21:26 AM
Co-Chair Olson wondered whether there was history related
to the issue of liquidation of funds.
Mr. Alper replied that he could not recall.
Co-Chair Olson wondered how the bill would rectify the
large losses.
Mr. Alper replied that the fund had a number of assets. He
stated that the bill would allow for the Power Cost
Equalization Fund (PCE) to have similar diversity to the
Permanent Fund.
Co-Chair Olson OPENED public testimony.
10:23:28 AM
HERMAN MORGAN, SELF, ANIAK, spoke to the civics education
bill.
Co-Chair Olson asked what bill Mr. Morgan was referencing.
Mr. Morgan explained that that he was supposed to speak on
the civics education bill.
Co-Chair Olson stated that he could not speak on that bill.
10:25:15 AM
Mr. Morgan argued that the staff person did not put him in
for the correct bill.
Co-Chair Olson urged Mr. Morgan to speak to the bill.
Mr. Morgan discussed PCE, and remarked that PCE was needed
in the state.
10:27:32 AM
AT EASE
10:27:56 AM
RECONVENED
10:28:07 AM
Mr. Alper pointed to slide 4, "How would it change the PCE
fund and program?"
It wouldn't.
• The same 5 percent of fund value would be available
each year to fund the programs described in statute
• The same "waterfall" of priority would be funded:
1. The PCE program itself
2. Costs of managing the fund
3. If the previous year's earnings are more than
what is needed for 1 and 2, 70 percent of the
remaining earnings may be used for:
1. Community Assistance (up to $30 million)
2. Renewable Energy Grant Fund, Bulk Fuel
Revolving Loan Fund, or Rural Power system
upgrades
Mr. Alper addressed slide 5, "Sectional Analysis":
Sec. 1.
Adds a new section to the Permanent Fund statutes, AS
37.13. The Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation is to
manage the Power Cost Equalization Fund, and publish
and distribute various reports. Clarifies that PCE
earnings shall be kept separate from Permanent Fund
earnings and not used in the POMV calculation.
Sec. 2
Moves the PCE fund from a separate fund of the Alaska
Energy Authority to a separate fund of the Permanent
Fund Corporation.
Sec. 3
Changes the PCE statute so that the fund is managed by
the Corporation rather than the Commissioner of
Revenue. Adopts the Permanent Fund's investment
guidelines in place of the current Prudent Investor
Rule.
Sec. 4
Conforming language so that the 5 percent of fund
value is determined by the Corporation rather than the
Department.
Sec. 5
Adds a definition to clarify that "corporation" in
this bill means the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation.
10:30:53 AM
Senator Kiehl asked about whether the Permanent Fund wanted
to add the PCE fund to their portfolio.
Mr. Alper replied that the Permanent Fund was "more or less
comfortable" with it.
Senator Kiehl asked whether there was an examination
alternatives.
Mr. Alper replied that he did not believe that there had
been an examination of other funds.
Co-Chair Olson CLOSED public testimony.
Mr. Alper stated that there would be language suggestions
from the Permanent Fund Corporation.
Co-Chair Olson discussed housekeeping.
SB 98 was HEARD and HELD in committee for further
consideration.
