Public Health, Welfare & Labor Committee (House) — March 20, 2025 (1:56:08)

just speaking as an individual pharmacy owner here today. Representative Leiterman, could you repeat your question for me? Well, so I have a pharmacy in my

Public Health, Welfare & Labor Committee (House) — March 20, 2025 (1:55:26)

Representative Ladyman, you're recognized for a question. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just so I understand, so when you talk about specialty compounders, I mean, can those be the local pharmacies that do compounding? Is that what we're talking

Public Health, Welfare & Labor Committee (House) — March 20, 2025 (1:45:02)

DEQ Director and Chief Administrator of Environment. Yeah, I think it's an easy question to answer, but I'm just curious. The program that would replace the grant program that you talked about, does that require legislation or can it be done with rules? I think whatever

Public Health, Welfare & Labor Committee (House) — March 20, 2025 (1:44:37)

good. Thank you. Thank you. Representative Ladyman, you're recognized for a question. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Energy may have to come up and answer this question for somebody here. They

Public Health, Welfare & Labor Committee (House) — March 20, 2025 (1:44:48)

brought their A-team today. If you will, identify yourself for the record, and you'll be recognized to answer the question.

Public Health, Welfare & Labor Committee (House) — March 20, 2025 (1:39:07)

is these organizations that need volunteers, it can fill that need and meet that obligation. So it's a win-win in that situation. So I think it's a good bill, and I'll vote for it. Any additional discussion on the

Public Health, Welfare & Labor Committee (House) — March 20, 2025 (1:38:57)

your bill is a good bill because people are already going to have the requirement. It gives them another option. But the other side of this that you may not have thought of

Public Health, Welfare & Labor Committee (House) — March 20, 2025 (47:38)

submitted and reviewed. For large hospitals as well as rural,

Public Health, Welfare & Labor Committee (House) — March 20, 2025 (47:00)

Okay. Representative Ladyman. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Well, the discussion's been about rural hospitals.

Public Health, Welfare & Labor Committee (House) — March 20, 2025 (47:13)

I have two of the largest hospitals in the state in my district, so it would be the same for them. so they would not see an impact here. It would be automatic by CMS, is that correct?

Public Health, Welfare & Labor Committee (House) — March 20, 2025 (21:50)

All right. Thank you, Representative. We're going to go back to Amendment No. 1. Any

Public Health, Welfare & Labor Committee (House) — March 20, 2025 (10:24)

testimony. Any questions by the committee? Seeing none, thank you for being here. Thank you.

State Agencies & Govt'l Affairs (House) — March 31, 2025 (1:39:13)

It is. This resolution would call for a convention of states to recommend term limits to the public to amend the Constitution. There have been, and I might get the number wrong, don't hold me to this, I think 40 resolutions to call a convention of states in the past. None of those have ever happened. Parliamentary Inquiry, Mr. Chair. I'm

State Agencies & Govt'l Affairs (House) — March 31, 2025 (1:38:05)

for or against the bill, Representative Ladyman, you're recognized to close for your bill. Well, again, I think the time has come that

State Agencies & Govt'l Affairs (House) — March 31, 2025 (1:37:25)

want term limits for Congress. Our founding fathers, I believe, wanted a country of part-time legislators. National and state executives have term limits. We have term limits. So, you know, I believe this is what the people want. So with that, I'd be happy to take any questions. All right, Representative Ladyman has

State Agencies & Govt'l Affairs (House) — March 31, 2025 (1:36:51)

approved lately so the momentum is building here. The states around us, all states around us except Mississippi and Texas have approved this. There is a bill in Texas right now working it through their legislature. Just remind you of a couple things that I mentioned to you before. There was a study done nationally and in Arkansas, and 80% of the responders to both of those studies, 80% of the people

State Agencies & Govt'l Affairs (House) — March 31, 2025 (1:36:20)

for Congress resolution. Since I presented this resolution earlier the session to you all, I amended the resolution and removed all the references to the state so that this resolution is identical to what's been passed in the other states. Since I was here earlier in the session, three other states have approved this resolution. This brings the total to 11 states that have approved the resolution and those have been

State Agencies & Govt'l Affairs (House) — March 31, 2025 (1:35:58)

you, Mr. Chairman. State Representative Jack Ladyman, District 32. Well, before I start, I wanna thank Representative Pierce. Now we have a state dog that can go with the state duck after it's shot, so appreciate that. Members, HJR 1004 is the Article 5 term limits

Meeting — March 31, 2025 (1:52:22)

would be minor so that's not an issue with this bill I don't believe based on my experience. Representative Ladyman has
