HOUSE BILL NO. 332
"An Act relating to elementary and pre-elementary
schools."
Representative Bryce Edgmon remarked that HB 332 would
modify Title 14 so that pre-elementary or Head Start
facilities would be eligible for E-rate discount funds
available through the Alaska Universal Services Fund. This
bill provides a more explicit definition allowing Head Start
facilities to be available for money to help with bandwidth
costs. Last year this federal program brought in $18 million
to the State of Alaska. He noted the attached bill amendment
would not disqualify or impact special needs children.

Representative Joule OBJECTED for discussion.
