HB 132-SCHOOL APPRENTICESHIP PROGS; TAX CREDITS
9:19:40 AM
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND announced that the final order of business
would be HB 132, "An Act providing for state recognition of
federally recognized tribes; and providing for an effective
date." [Before the committee was CSHB 132(L&C).]
9:20:02 AM
CO-CHAIR STORY asked for a short outline of CSHB 132(L&C).
REPRESENTATIVE ZACH FIELDS, Alaska State Legislature, as prime
sponsor, presented CSHB 132(L&C). He said the proposed
legislation is designed to expand apprenticeship and "school to
apprenticeship." He said it ensures in statute that the
Department of Education and Early Development (DEED) is directed
to work with the Department of Labor & Workforce Development
(DLWD) and the University of Alaska (UA) to support
apprenticeship and school to apprenticeship. He commented that
it is thematically similar to the Middle College program from
the proposed legislation that was just heard in committee [SB
32]. He said there is a growing need to link secondary and
post-secondary education training and employment, specifically
for graduating high school seniors who cannot afford not to
work. He opined that the traditional model of either going to
college or getting a job does not work "in a global society
where we have a need to continue developing our human capitol."
He said the purpose of CSHB 132(L&C) is to ensure more work-and-
learn options in the postsecondary system. He said that to get
there, Alaska must "strengthen linkages" of the secondary
education system.
9:21:29 AM
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND opened public testimony on CSHB 132(L&C).
After ascertaining that there was no one who wished to testify,
she closed public testimony.
[CSHB 132(L&C) was held over.]
