Summary:
The committee first took up HB 4274, with a PCS accepted without objection. The bill concerns military students and military school choice, restoring language from the Open Enrollment Act, removing a six-month residency requirement for military families, and addressing early enrollment administration. After brief discussion, the committee voted 10-0 to report the bill out as due pass.
HB 3076, authored by Rep. Lepak, would create a new alternative certification pathway for teachers to help address the teacher shortage by allowing third-party certifiers outside the traditional higher-education route. Members asked about accreditation, existing pilot language, and how this differs from emergency or adjunct certification. The author said the bill is intended as an additional route for career changers, with examples from other states and a model that includes follow-up support after hiring. The committee also discussed adding mentor-teacher language, and the bill passed 10-2 as due pass.
The committee then considered HB 4358, which would limit screen time for K-5 students to one hour per day, with the author noting possible changes for class-based use, testing, and virtual schools. HB 3312, with a PCS, would require schools to offer firearm safety education in grades K-12, while allowing parents to opt their students out; it passed 9-2. HB 3288, also with a PCS, would increase physical activity for school-age children and prohibit withholding recess or physical education from pre-K through 5th grade as punishment; it passed 11-0.
Finally, HB 3885, with a PCS, would impose mandatory disciplinary actions for third- through fifth-grade students who assault or attempt to assault teachers or school employees. The author said the bill is aimed at improving teacher safety and retention, while still allowing in-school suspension and case-by-case superintendent discretion. Members discussed whether schools already have such authority and whether suspension is always the best response. The bill passed 8-3 as due pass. HB 4277 and HB 4173 were laid over.

Summary:
The committee first handled routine business, including roll call, introductions, and approval of the previous meeting minutes by voice vote. It then heard a presentation on SB 253, focused on expanding support for teacher apprenticeship and teaching-and-learning pathways. Senator Hickman and staff from the Kentucky Department of Education and Nelson County Schools described how the program uses dual credit, work-based learning, and registered apprenticeship to help students earn an associate degree in high school and continue toward a teaching degree. They said the goal is to address the teacher shortage by creating a sustainable pipeline into the profession.
Witnesses emphasized that the main barrier is cost. Mary Taylor said Kentucky’s youth apprenticeship model has been successful in other fields and that education should be added as an in-demand sector, but an associate degree alone will not solve the teacher shortage because teachers still need a bachelor’s degree and certification. Laura Arnold of Nelson County Schools described the district’s Lead Nelson program, saying the district has invested more than $800,000 since 2021, currently has 37 students in the pathway and seven committed apprentices, and spends about $85,000 per apprentice from freshman year through certification. She said district staffing, planning, and university partnerships are also significant hurdles. Members asked about job guarantees, tenure, and retirement; Arnold said employment is performance-based and retirement issues are being considered.
Senator Hickman said the bill would use lottery funds to help cover tuition and dual credit costs so more districts can participate, noting that a prior version died because of a high fiscal note. Representative Payne and Representative Tipton praised the program but stressed the need for funding and noted inconsistencies between statute and budget language on Work Ready Kentucky and dual credit support. Representative Tipton also cautioned that lottery revenue may not keep pace with demand and said the General Assembly may need to make broader funding decisions. After the apprenticeship discussion, the chair moved the committee to the next agenda item on computer science and AI literacy, where Code.org began a presentation on the importance of computer science for all students.

Summary:
The House Capital Budget Committee opened its first hearing of the session, reviewed committee procedures and deadlines, and then heard a presentation from OFM Senior Budget Advisor Jen Masterson on Governor Ferguson’s proposed supplemental capital budget. Masterson said the proposal uses about $396 million in new appropriations, leaving $5.4 million in bond capacity, and emphasized housing, urgent state facility needs, targeted grant programs, climate-related investments, and K-12 and higher education projects. She highlighted $237 million for housing, including $225 million for the Housing Trust Fund, plus funding for state facilities, juvenile rehabilitation, clean energy, salmon recovery, parks, trust land transfer, school seismic safety, small district modernization, lead pipe remediation, and higher education minor works.
Public testimony was largely supportive of the governor’s housing, education, climate, and community project investments, with many speakers asking for additional funding or preservation of specific items. Housing advocates backed the Housing Trust Fund, affordable homeownership, manufactured housing preservation, and transit-oriented developments; tribal, conservation, and climate speakers supported salmon recovery, community forests, the Green Bank, and natural resource projects; and education representatives supported school modernization, seismic safety, lead remediation, community college, and university capital projects. Several local governments and infrastructure groups urged the committee to reject the proposed $75 million sweep from the Public Works Assistance Account, warning it would jeopardize already-awarded loans and raise costs for sewer, flood control, and other local infrastructure projects.
Committee members asked follow-up questions about Rainier School, juvenile rehabilitation funding, and the status of Public Works Assistance Account obligations. OFM said Rainier School was on the planning grant list and juvenile rehabilitation funding included flexible capacity funding and facility improvements. The hearing ended without any votes or formal action, after the chair thanked participants and closed the public hearing on HB 2295.
