Recent Transcript Excerpts

Arkansas Legislative Council (ALC) — Oct. 18, 2019 (47:20)

it gets back to our committee thank you sir

Arkansas Legislative Council (ALC) — Oct. 18, 2019 (47:14)

instead of this just coming straight back to pier i would like for that to be reworked to identify those problems before

Arkansas Legislative Council (ALC) — Oct. 18, 2019 (46:39)

the way that this letter came to appear and it says that they will identify and distribute funds I do not believe since we did not have the appropriation in the Buffalo River conservation that they can do that and we can get with staff i was thinking that the department of ag would actually have to distribute those funds themselves i don't think that if we go ahead and set this up personally i thought that the buffalo conservation committee could give them recommendations but the disbursements would have to come from the department of ag so

Arkansas Legislative Council (ALC) — Oct. 18, 2019 (46:11)

motion yes sir i do i want to make sure and what you were just alluding to was going to be my concern if it goes straight back to peer the way that it was written and i know we've had numerous people including myself about the including but not limited to that's way too broad for what I think this body's supposed to do as far as oversight but in addition as to what Senator Urban was saying I don't think because

Public Health Welfare & Labor Committee (Senate & House) — Nov. 4, 2019 (24:22)

I'm fine with that one. But as far as the privacy language, you're doing that to meet some type of federal requirement? That's correct. Thank you, sir. Any other questions?

Public Health Welfare & Labor Committee (Senate & House) — Nov. 4, 2019 (23:47)

version. And one follow-up. And there's one more about the, there's something about a residency. It says delete a residency question. Is that

Public Health Welfare & Labor Committee (Senate & House) — Nov. 4, 2019 (23:01)

it says updated to add a privacy language. What is the privacy language? Who does that affect? Is that the person

Public Health Welfare & Labor Committee (Senate & House) — Nov. 4, 2019 (22:56)

sir. Could you just give us a little more information? I see under this description where

Meeting — March 31, 2025 (3:25:49)

Excuse me? In here, today, in here. Not today.

Meeting — March 31, 2025 (3:25:45)

for a question? In here, in here. Is that what you're saying?

Meeting — March 31, 2025 (3:09:34)

But thanks for that. You're welcome. Appreciate the question. Any other questions?

Meeting — March 31, 2025 (3:09:03)

Maybe I should ask my question this way then. So do you read that then that they would be eligible for any exemption or credit or anything of other nature that we

Meeting — March 31, 2025 (3:09:29)

guess I struggle with that, that it says exactly that part.

Meeting — March 31, 2025 (3:09:14)

was to give to anybody or any business of the state, tax credits

Meeting — March 31, 2025 (3:07:18)

any businesses that we would also have to give it to these child welfare agencies That's the way I

Meeting — March 31, 2025 (3:06:42)

Which line number? I'm sorry, Senator Clark, on page 2, line 36. Thank you. And then it starts, and it goes over to page 3. So it appears like to me the way that this is written, because it says alter in any way the tax treatment or cause any tax penalty or payment to be assessed against or denied, delay, revoke, or otherwise make unavailable an exemption from taxation it almost appears to me that any type of exemption that we make for anyone under this you know from anyone the state or

Meeting — March 31, 2025 (3:06:32)

is written. And I think I know what we're trying to do, but it says discriminatory action. It says alter in any way the tax treatment.

Meeting — March 31, 2025 (3:06:26)

Yes, Senator Clark. Mine's more on page two and top of three, the way this

Meeting — March 31, 2025 (2:33:39)

in time. Does it not have a fiscal impact because it's saying it has received a positive cost-benefit analysis from the commission? That's correct. So who, is anybody going to review that CBA or anything? AEDC does, is that what you mean? Thank you, sir. I

Meeting — March 31, 2025 (2:33:14)

a question. Senator, this may... My mic's messed up. Did this come through REV and TAX? This didn't come through REV and TAX? Absolutely. Yes, sir. Okay.
