SB 34-STATE-TRIBAL EDUCATION COMPACT SCHOOLS
1:35:08 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND announced the consideration of SENATE BILL NO. 34
"An Act providing for the establishment of public schools
through state-tribal compacts."
[CSSB 34(EDC) was before the committee. SB 34 was previously
heard on 3/23/22.]
1:35:42 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND opened public testimony on SB 34; finding none, he
closed public testimony on SB 34.
1:36:19 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND moved to adopt Amendment 1, work order 32-
LS0390\G.1.
32-LS0309\G.1

AMENDMENT 1
OFFERED IN THE SENATE BY SENATOR HOLLAND
TO: CSSB 34(EDC)
Page 2, line 23:
Delete "January 31, 2029"
Insert "June 30, 2026"
1:36:25 PM
SENATOR MYERS objected for discussion purposes.
CHAIR HOLLAND explained that Amendment 1 would change the
deadline for the legislature to pass enabling legislation from
January 31, 2029, to Juneau 30, 2026. He stated that this would
still allow an entire legislative cycle for the legislature to
consider the recommendations of the state-tribal education
compact. However, it would set an expectation that the
legislature should not delay enacting legislation for five
years.
SENATOR MYERS removed his objection.
1:37:07 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND found no further objection, and Amendment 1 was
adopted.
1:37:18 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND moved to adopt Amendment 2, work order 32-
LS0309\G.2.
32-LS0309\G.2

AMENDMENT 2
OFFERED IN THE SENATE BY SENATOR HOLLAND
TO: CSSB 34(EDC)
Page 2, lines 1 - 3:
Delete "all other federally recognized tribes and
tribal organizations that will be a party to the
demonstration state-tribal education compact"
Insert "the tribal organizations, if any, that
will participate in the negotiation on behalf of or in
conjunction with the federally recognized tribe"
1:37:22 PM
SENATOR MYERS objected for discussion purposes.
1:37:25 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND explained that Amendment 2 was a technical fix.
The current version of the bill makes it sound as though the
federally recognized tribe must know every other tribe
participating in the negotiation. This language initially
referenced a joint application, but it is no longer relevant
under the more open negotiation process included in the current
version of the bill.
1:37:52 PM
SENATOR MYERS removed his objection.
CHAIR HOLLAND heard no further objection, and Amendment 2 was
adopted.
1:38:04 PM
SENATOR KIEHL moved to adopt Amendment 3, work order 32-
LS0309\G.3
32-LS0309\G.3
Klein

AMENDMENT 3
OFFERED IN THE SENATE BY SENATOR KIEHL
TO: CSSB 34(EDC)
Page 2, line 7, following "compact.":
Insert "The board shall consult with the
governing body of each school district that will have
a demonstration state-tribal education compact school
located within the district boundaries."
1:38:09 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND objected for discussion purposes.
1:38:13 PM
SENATOR KIEHL explained that Amendment 3 would place the
obligation on the Department of Education and Early Development
(DEED) to involve school districts that have a demonstration
site within their district boundaries early in the negotiation
process.
CHAIR HOLLAND stated that he did not see any issue with
Amendment 3 but would maintain his objection for discussion
purposes.
1:38:44 PM
SENATOR HUGHES asked whether "consult" means that the school
districts will be at the table for the discussions but would not
participate in the negotiations.
SENATOR KIEHL responded that this does not give school districts
a veto. The negotiating parties would be the Department of
Education and Early Development (DEED) and the federally
recognized tribes and tribal organizations. He suggested that
because the negotiated state-tribal education compact will come
back to the legislature for enactment, it would be essential to
have the local school district involved.
1:39:40 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND removed his objection; he found no further
objection, and Amendment 3 was adopted.
1:40:00 PM
TIM LAMKIN, Staff, Senator Gary Stevens, Alaska State
Legislature, Juneau, Alaska, on behalf of the sponsor, said
Senator Stevens agrees to the amendments since they align with
the overall inclusivity of the bill. In addition, the sponsor
believes that the amendments would tighten up the state-tribal
education compact timeline.
1:40:29 PM
SENATOR HUGHES moved to report CSSB 34(EDC), work order 32-
LS0309\G, as amended, from committee with individual
recommendations and attached fiscal note(s).
CHAIR HOLLAND heard no objection, and CSSB 34(JUD) was reported
from the Senate Judiciary Standing Committee.
