H.R. 15: TO AGREE TO AN AMENDMENT OFFERED IN THE NATURE OF A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE HOLT AMENDMENT TO H.R. 15. THE KILDEE SUBSTITUTE AMENDMENT PROHIBITS COMMUNITY EDUCATION GRANTS FOR ANY PROGRAM THAT DUPLICATES OR COMPETES WITH PUBLIC SERVICES ALREADY OFFERED BY STATE OR LOCAL AGENCIES, EXCEPT WHEN THE COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION DETERMINES THAT COLLABORATION EXISTS BETWEEN THE LOCAL EDUCATION AGENCY AND THE OTHER PUBLIC AGENCIES. THE HOLT AMENDMENT PROHIBITS THE AWARDING OF FEDERAL COMMUNITY EDUCATION GRANTS TO PROGRAMS THAT DUPLICATE EXISTING PUBLIC SERVICES, BUT ALLOWS THE GENERAL LOCAL GOVERNMENT, RATHER THAN THE COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION, TO WAIVE THIS REGULATION.
