An Act repealing the assistive technology loan guarantee and interest subsidy program; and providing for an effective date.

HB 219 repeals the Alaska statute that established a loan guarantee and interest subsidy program for assistive technology. The bill includes a conditional provision stating that the law will only take effect if the legislature reappropriates funds from the assistive technology loan guarantee fund to improve access to these devices. This measure directly impacts the availability of financial support for individuals seeking assistive technology by removing the existing loan program unless specific funding conditions are met.
