This morning the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Education held a public hearing on a handful of Senate bills.

The committee heard legislation that requires higher education institutions to adopt a policy to award academic credit for military training courses/programs and provide the policy to enrolled students who have listed prior or present military service in their application (SB 5969).

In addition the Committee heard legislation that creates a College Bound Scholarship work group of legislators and higher education stakeholders to submit a report to the Governor and Legislature about recommendations for making the program viable, including recommendations for making the program viable, including but not limited to funding (SB 6436).

Evergreen signed-in to support both bills.
