Senate Bill 6 has already been stated. Regulates is a law that if it passes into law and is signed and passes here, it will be able to regulate the amount of time that a pedestrian is allowed to cross any street, two lane, four lane, or however many lanes it is. In this situation, the amendment is also in the bill, so that has been passed as well. We would greatly appreciate your

So the length of time should be set for at least one minute for two lanes and should be regulated by the Department of Transportation and the Highway Department for multi-lane crossings. Also, it has been noted that many crossing signals do not have the necessary buttons or maintenance to actually function correctly in many cases, which causes danger for pedestrians, which should be solved.

We both share a lot of common interest, and I know that pet ownership does actually incur costs for the human that wishes to have those, but that's the satisfaction we have of being able to live in a great state like Arkansas. And I thank you for bringing this

seen one that I want to be my pet. No, sir, they're pretty mean. Now, in this bill, if I read it correctly, there's some costs here for the individual owner, but don't you agree that the cost that you've implied in this piece of legislation

like diseases that humans might be made aware of or actually could be communicable diseases? Is that what you're

One minute is thinking of heading over here, so I've had enough, though. The second question, if I could, do you have any knowledge of

Meeting — March 31, 2011 (1:10:35)

appreciate your responses. MS. Representative Smith, you're recognized. Thank you, Madam Chair. Senator, I've got about three questions here. How many non-human primates do you estimate we might have in our great state of Arkansas? Do you know? No, sir. Okay. I'm sorry. I can go back and check my

Madam Chair. And I worked closely with Senator Sample in the last session. We talked about this as well. And if it's allowable, I'd like a motion at the proper time. We

I'm on there as well, that we would have it assigned through the subcommittee, through the Ag Department, instead of letting Legislative Council tend to it. If that's the committee's

Meeting — March 31, 2011 (9:10)
