I guess I just want to understand, are they two separate things like this group will complement and coexist with whatever that other group is, which I think maybe is determined by federal law?

State Agencies & Govt'l Affairs (House) — March 19, 2025 (1:27:46)

I'm not sure if it is or not. I

State Agencies & Govt'l Affairs (House) — March 19, 2025 (1:27:05)

and I think you probably got the same mail I did. How is this different from that? I think

State Agencies & Govt'l Affairs (House) — March 19, 2025 (1:26:53)

you're recognized. Thank you, Mr. Chair. So, Representative Beatty, you know, you and I are both on some sort of federal group as the majority leader and as the minority leader regarding the census,

State Agencies & Govt'l Affairs (House) — March 19, 2025 (8:12)

and was signed, so that's enacted, and so I guess that would just be my suggestion. I don't think it's, you know, essential

State Agencies & Govt'l Affairs (House) — March 19, 2025 (8:19)

necessarily, but if the goal is to match them, that would be one way. I think that would be fine to do.

State Agencies & Govt'l Affairs (House) — March 19, 2025 (7:23)

that they were fine with it so all right representative collins thank you mr. chair and i guess my only question would be we passed at least one bill i had a bill that moved that final report to january 15th and i'm for the state and district candidates and i didn't know if keeping those matched up was important enough that you if you were going to amend it down the road if you would make that or and or other changes we've already done through law just to sync those up Yeah, I'd be open to that, certainly.

the department that they serve and it is not compulsory as municipality can choose to adopt or not choose to adopt i think that we talked with the municipal league and i don't think that they have any issues with this and it's obviously supported by the firefighters so i'm happy to answer any questions and um

firefighter for exercising their rights in here this is just kind of a baseline protections for firefighters as it is currently for law enforcement officers in their relations with

City, County & Local Affairs Committee (House) — March 19, 2025 (52:40)

firefighters. There is one in statute that is for law enforcement officers, and this takes it exactly and applies it to firefighters. They are in separate sections of code, which is why we need add it all here as opposed to just adding in and firefighters which is essentially what we're doing it lays out and i'll just kind of tell you in brief kind of the areas and happy to answer questions and mr stallings represents the ark stop professional firefighters and he can tell you a little bit more about any of these details but the sections in here are disciplinary proceedings

City, County & Local Affairs Committee (House) — March 19, 2025 (52:35)

Correct. Okay, thanks. Members, any other questions? Seeing no additional questions,

Judiciary Committee (House) — March 20, 2025 (1:20:48)
