Currently, they could get zero. Thank you so much. Representative Hall, you recognize? Thank you, Mr. Chair. Currently, what are the penalties for the bad actors for the towing companies? Because, hey, if I'm a towing guy and I get the call and I go out there and all of a sudden I'm hooking up to it, I'm like, hey, there's a Lamborghini on the back of this sucker. This is a $90,000 tow, you know. My price is going to go up. So are there any recourse to those folks?

Public Health, Welfare & Labor Committee (House) — April 8, 2025 (44:39)

for or against the bill as amended? You closed for your bill? Yes, sir. I'd just like to apologize for all the people that live in that district in the River Valley that it's taken us this long to get this under control. So hopefully this will do the trick.

Public Health, Welfare & Labor Committee (House) — April 8, 2025 (44:20)

like if they catch them breaking the permit, they can write them up for it. So now it's not just ADEQ that can do that. And then they submit that to ADEQ for the fine? Yeah, and then they submit it for the fine. So they have more people that's eyes on it.

Public Health, Welfare & Labor Committee (House) — April 8, 2025 (44:07)

ADEQ going to do more with kind of holding them accountable? Actually, in this bill, I made it, I talked to them, I'd made it where the county sheriff, the county judge, and the county employees,

Representative Hall, you're recognized. Thank you, Mr. Chair. While she's passing out there, some language we've all agreed to. Do what? No, no, I don't need one.

Public Health, Welfare & Labor Committee (House) — April 8, 2025 (1:27:29)

Mr. Chairman. What's the current fine? The fine is anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000, but that depends on the ADEQ, whatever they

Public Health, Welfare & Labor Committee (House) — April 8, 2025 (1:27:43)

that correct? Yeah, but they're having to self, I guess, tattle on themselves. Nobody's there to catch them breaking the

Public Health, Welfare & Labor Committee (House) — April 8, 2025 (1:27:06)

in committee. Yeah. And so all this bill says is that if you break your permit three times within a 45-day period, we revoke your permit. And that's all it says. And those of you that are from the Fort Smith area, when you smell that smell, that's what it

Public Health, Welfare & Labor Committee (House) — April 8, 2025 (1:26:49)

And when they got shut out of Missouri and Oklahoma, the only place they had to go to it was District 24. know and it's a large large amount of it. Sometimes there's 287 semi truck loads going one way a day and so they have open lagoons they're putting it on top of the ground and disking it in and and they're breaking their permit because

Public Health, Welfare & Labor Committee (House) — April 8, 2025 (1:25:48)

What's happened is there was a company, I guess you'd say a statewide company, And they got kicked out of Missouri and Oklahoma. And what this bill deals with is chicken poultry processing waste, water. Because when they kill all the chickens and poultry, they have to have washdowns.
