SENATE BILL NO. 99 "An Act establishing a financial literacy education course for public schools; and providing for an effective date." 9:55:49 AM 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. 9:56:16 AM 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.

Co-Chair Olson discussed the agenda for the afternoon meeting.
