Senator Ben Gilmore

Agriculture, Forestry & Economic Development (Senate) — March 18, 2025 (8:08)

addressed that. The second one was going back to what you were talking about, the terms of the bonds. Is that all of that on page 7? Is that where that's spelled out, just to make sure I'm tracking?

JBC-Special Language — March 18, 2025 (24:57)

didn't do a good job of asking it more in lines of is there any sort of certifications or or anything like that that goes in line with being affiliated with this national group so i know a lot of professions get certifications or or something related to being a part of a national affiliation and I don't know because why I'm asking do you are you aware of I'm not aware that would jeopardize any sort of anything related

JBC-Special Language — March 18, 2025 (24:55)

was more in lines and maybe i

JBC-Special Language — March 18, 2025 (24:23)

what is the benefit of having a membership

JBC-Special Language — March 18, 2025 (24:04)

recognized for a question. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, Senator. I just trying to work through how this will work in my mind. So I just have a couple of questions here. So, uh, because I don't know, can you, can you tell me, uh, in regards to the American library association, what that means to library in the sense of why, why do they have an affiliation or membership or what,

Meeting — March 19, 2025 (5:34:02)

I think we should just define it as quote, C. Senator Dotson.

Meeting — March 19, 2025 (5:33:44)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Senator, would you not consider that we should add maybe the standard of good moral character to this bill to ensure that these people are adhering to what we would perceive and assume would be the highest standards possible? If Senator

Meeting — March 19, 2025 (3:43:12)

ask you that. I tell you what, Senator Gilmore, you and I get married, we can reconsider

Meeting — March 19, 2025 (3:42:44)

bit, please? Senator Gilmore. Thank you, Mr. President. I hate to follow a question about living in sin, Senator, but I have to at this point. So, considering that that may be the case, or any other reasons, should we consider it being a pro rata based on years of marriage?

Judiciary Committee (Senate & House) — March 19, 2025 (2:17:26)

with the counselor on the committee here. I'm sorry, could you restate what

Judiciary Committee (Senate & House) — March 19, 2025 (2:17:22)

committee? Senator Gilmore? I'm sorry, because I was conferring

Judiciary Committee (Senate & House) — March 19, 2025 (1:46:29)

wife, you know, whatever spouse is tracking. Again, that's some of the things that's hard to contemplate. I think you might agree with that in something like this that would have to be worked out, especially if there is a court proceeding taking place. And I know of a particular case where that happened. And again, that was brought up in the domestic case that the judge had to work through. So I think those things, wouldn't you agree, get contemplated as a result of those cases. Yes, thank you. Okay, I'm going to

Judiciary Committee (Senate & House) — March 19, 2025 (1:45:57)

Senator Gilmore, you're recognized. So I think just for clarification, because I think I looked it up earlier. The penalty for this is a Class A misdemeanor, right? So we're not talking about a felony offense here. We're talking about a Class A misdemeanor. So that's, I mean, again, it's not nothing, but it's not as. Fine of up to $2,500. Correct. Yeah. So, and I guess that going back to the questions related to, you know, parent giving consent or whatever. I mean, same thing could happen between a spouse, right? Husband,

Judiciary Committee (Senate & House) — March 19, 2025 (1:13:10)

If we are so inclined to come back and perhaps hear other bills, I

Judiciary Committee (Senate & House) — March 19, 2025 (1:12:49)

fine with Monday, Mr. Chair, if he would prefer to wait. If you'd rather

Judiciary Committee (Senate & House) — March 19, 2025 (1:13:05)

a committee meeting this afternoon also. But if I may, Mr. Chair, to the majority leader's point,

Judiciary Committee (Senate & House) — March 19, 2025 (1:10:37)

Yes. Thank you, Mr. Chair. I guess just a question to you and maybe to the Senator. I presume that will give him enough time to get those bills heard and through the process and passed to the House. Do you believe that's the case? OKAY. THAT'S HIS WISH. THAT WAS HIS REQUEST. OKAY.

Judiciary Committee (Senate & House) — March 19, 2025 (59:38)

So what does that mean from your standpoint, the exposure of a juvenile person who's committed an offense and lists out human trafficking, sexual abuse, rape,

Judiciary Committee (Senate & House) — March 19, 2025 (59:07)

So I'd like to know your process because this is what you do, right? So, again, list out all the different things that are coming into consideration. So, you know, back on page two, section G, line 29, the court shall consider. So shall consider includes all of the, you know, one through 11. But we're adding in there, as you can see, the exposure of juvenile. So I guess what does that mean from your standpoint? Because you're already being told to consider certain elements, right?

Judiciary Committee (Senate & House) — March 19, 2025 (59:03)

think probably going back to page two in particular.
