So I would like to see if it's possible that this committee starts the process of stop asking for a follow-up. If we could do that, that would be
recognized. Thank you, Madam Chairman. I have just a thought. You know, in committees, these are the only chances we have to really vet bills and figure out what's going on and ask questions.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I appreciate your indulgence on this bill, and I know you guys have a long schedule, so I'll be as quick as I can. This is an agency bill brought to us from the Department of Environmental Quality. It makes a few changes. Notably, it allows an apprentice to keep working as an apprentice until they pass their test to be a journeyman. After two years, they have to quit now if they can't pass their test. It also allows them to pay for a license for two years instead of paying that annually. That is the majority of the changes in the bill. I'd be happy to answer any questions.
