HB549 RELATING TO AN EARLY LEARNING APPRENTICESHIP GRANT PROGRAM.
Moved through its first hearing in the Higher Education committee with amendments. Thank you Chair Andrew Takuya Garrett and Vice Chair Terez Amato and committee members for hearing and passing this bill. Mahalo to the many state agencies that showed support and mahalo piha to our community programs, businesses and individuals who took the time and care to submit testimony for this bill. HB 549 will still need to be heard the committee on human services and homelessness and the committee on finance. (We will need extra support from all our advocates to get this bill heard and passed through finance.) Let's stay the course and get this one to the finish line. Thank you everyone for supporting and advocating for our kids and families.

This bill was joint referred to the committees on Higher Education and Committee on Education and the Committee of Ways and Means. Please call or email Senator Kim and Senator Michelle Kidani and ask them to please schedule a hearing for SB 426 now. If you are their constituent, be sure to mention that. Here is a draft request you could model off of. Thank you!!
