do you think the public would perceive this as

State Agencies & Govt'l Affairs (House) — April 2, 2025 (2:45:39)

I guess my only concern is if we were to refer this out, how

State Agencies & Govt'l Affairs (House) — April 2, 2025 (2:45:37)

I support what you're trying to do here.

State Agencies & Govt'l Affairs (House) — April 2, 2025 (1:36:46)

30 days. They will get credit as if they had worked those 30 days as a state employee for vacation. Is that a two sentence summary? No, Representative, to do it

State Agencies & Govt'l Affairs (House) — April 2, 2025 (1:36:54)

real quickly. When you're in the National

State Agencies & Govt'l Affairs (House) — April 2, 2025 (1:36:41)

So, in summary, state employee gets called up to work in the National Guard. They're deployed for

State Agencies & Govt'l Affairs (House) — April 2, 2025 (1:00:30)

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I apologize if I missed this in your opening. What problem are we trying to solve by doing this, would be my first question. And then my follow-up is with the county clerks and the Secretary of State, because they're They're going to be looking at these witness, I mean, I could forge a witness statement kind of deal. So are they going to have to be policed that somehow?

State Agencies & Govt'l Affairs (House) — April 2, 2025 (52:33)

and that with that I'm ready to close and we'll make a motion do pass as amended. Representative Meeks

State Agencies & Govt'l Affairs (House) — April 2, 2025 (51:58)

no compensation for serving on this commission. And with that, I'll be happy to answer any questions when the time's right.

State Agencies & Govt'l Affairs (House) — April 2, 2025 (51:46)

So, colleagues, this amendment basically does what you asked me to do. We pull out all the per diem and we explicitly state that members of the commission will receive

State Agencies & Govt'l Affairs (House) — April 2, 2025 (29:58)

be like $20 a vehicle. Is that correct? Per month. Or per month. Yeah. Just

State Agencies & Govt'l Affairs (House) — April 2, 2025 (9:50)

And if so, is that a potential another source of savings that we could gain by proving that, hey, our employees are driving safely, we've got the data to prove it, can we get a better rate?

State Agencies & Govt'l Affairs (House) — April 2, 2025 (9:18)

Just about anybody who utilizes vehicles in the public sector now is using some type of technology similar to this. One of the reasons that they employed this technology was to make sure that we were driving safely. And by driving safely, the companies got discounts on the liability insurance that they were having to cover us. And so my question is, does the state pay any kind of insurance or liability insurance for employees who are driving these vehicles?

State Agencies & Govt'l Affairs (House) — April 2, 2025 (8:46)

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. So many of you may remember about a decade ago when I was first elected I delivered pizzas at night to work off some debt and even back then over a decade ago when we got on the clock we took out that little pizza topper thing put it on top of the car and that had all this tracking stuff in it and so private industry has been doing this for a long long time and you know whether it's pizza delivery courier service you know 18 wheelers

You guys are a part of obviously making this possible. This is only the beginning, right? So with that, we are. Merry Christmas, and we are adjourned.

Data Sharing & Data-Driven Decision-Making Task Force — Dec. 19, 2019 (46:09)

Again, thank you to everyone who's participated from the audience.

Data Sharing & Data-Driven Decision-Making Task Force — Dec. 19, 2019 (45:39)

to get this moving forward for the state.

Data Sharing & Data-Driven Decision-Making Task Force — Dec. 19, 2019 (45:07)

And I guess the last bit of business that I do need from the committee is for the committee to vote to allow us to approve the final version of the report once Mr. McCollum was able to get that all in place. Okay, you got a motion, second, any discussion, all in favor say aye. Okay, so with that, again, we appreciate everyone's work. We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. And I think we've done some good things here

Data Sharing & Data-Driven Decision-Making Task Force — Dec. 19, 2019 (44:42)

before the committee. Appreciate all your work. Mr. Gillum will get all this stuff laid out in a nice report for us. He'll get that emailed out and then just everyone, I know it's holiday season, but we need to have that completed by the end of the year. So when that arrives in your mailbox, just read through it real briefly, make sure it all looks good. If you see any issues with it, let either him or one of us know

Data Sharing & Data-Driven Decision-Making Task Force — Dec. 19, 2019 (44:37)

Okay. All right. Hearing none, I don't think there's any other business to come
