effective date."

Co-Chair Olson relayed that SB 99 was previously heard by
the committee on April 24, at which time public testimony
was taken. There was a request for amendments, and none had
been submitted.

SENATOR BILL WIELECHOWSKI, SPONSOR, explained that the bill
would require financial literacy to be taught in Alaskan
schools. He relayed that the bill had been changed somewhat
substantially with suggestions made by superintendents and
various school boards across the state. He clarified that
the content was not required to be offered in one specific
course and could be spread across courses.
Co-Chair Olson asked if the sponsor was in favor of the
changes that were made.
Senator Wielechowski answered "yes."
Senator Bishop MOVED to report CSSB 99(EDC) out of
Committee with individual recommendations and the
accompanying fiscal note. There being NO OBJECTION, it was
so ordered.
CSSB 99(EDC) was REPORTED out of committee with three "do
pass" recommendations and with three no recommendation
recommendations and with one previously published fiscal
impact note: FN1(EED).
Co-Chair Olson discussed the agenda for the afternoon
meeting.
