SB 65-DEPT. OF LABOR: TECHNICAL ED. PROGRAMS
1:36:15 PM
CHAIR REINBOLD announced that the next order of business would
be SENATE BILL NO. 65, "An Act relating to the duties of the
Department of Labor and Workforce Development; and providing for
an effective date."
1:37:09 PM
TAMIKA LEDBETTER, Ph.D., Commissioner Designee, Department of
Labor and Workforce Development (DOLWD), Anchorage, said she is
very excited about the process and interested in leading and
monitoring the career and technical education (CTE) programs in
Alaska. She expressed interest in the opportunity to partner
with the Department of Education and Early Development (DEED)
and the University of Alaska in this effort.
1:38:41 PM
SENATOR BISHOP reviewed the Department of Labor & Workforce
Development fiscal note for an appropriation of $140,100 in FY
2020 to the Commissioner and Administrative Services. The
allocation is the Workforce Investment Board, and the OMB
component is 2659. There is no fiscal impact to the department
as a result of this legislation, because this does not
significantly change the department's programs. This legislation
simply formalizes the department's role in the coordination of
the state's CTE programs.
SENATOR BISHOP reviewed the Department of Education and Early
Development (DEED), zero fiscal note. The allocation is Student
and School Achievement and the OMB component is 2796. This
legislation amends AS 44.31.020, requiring the Department of
Labor and Workforce Development to coordinate and monitor state
career and technical education programs by cooperating with the
Department of Education and Early Development, the University of
Alaska, and any other entities that provide or fund these
programs. This legislation would become effective immediately.
There is no fiscal impact to the department.
1:40:54 PM
SENATOR COSTELLO moved to report SB 65, work order 31-GS1139\A,
from committee with individual recommendations and attached
fiscal note(s). There being no objection, SB 65 was reported
from the Senate Labor and Commerce Standing Committee.
