Meeting — March 31, 2025 (3:02:14)

There's some folks out there that have some wild religious beliefs that we would all agree kids should not be subjected to. So what are the protections for kids in those instances when you've got people that want to handle deadly snakes or just for example.

Meeting — March 31, 2025 (3:01:35)

Thank you, Mr. President, and thank you, Senator Clark, for bringing this bill. I think I understand and I agree there's good reason for religious folks to be concerned about being discriminated against when they're trying to adopt kids. You know, there are people out there who feel like you and I would be monsters because we discipline our children with a spanking. But we both recognize that there are other religious folks out there with beliefs that we would consider extreme. So what prevents those people from...

Meeting — March 31, 2025 (1:57:11)

is a simple bill that just says the state needs to have a seat at the table when these agreements are looked at in the future. I appreciate most of you are signed on as co-sponsors. The utilities have had their input and are not opposed, so I'd appreciate a good vote. I'd be happy to answer any questions you

Judiciary Committee (Senate & House) — March 31, 2025 (2:27:08)

really like to vote for a bill like this, but I'd really like, like Senator Clark has said, some definitions and some clarity to handle those in instances where there are disputes between the renter and

Judiciary Committee (Senate & House) — March 31, 2025 (2:22:36)

You know, it's a competitive business. I guess my concern there, though, is the lack of definitions. I don't know. It seems open-ended to me. I understand what you're trying to do, and I appreciate it. Well,

Judiciary Committee (Senate & House) — March 31, 2025 (2:22:15)

on it. Which happens quite frequently. So that $25,000 damage mark for the Class B felony, or see if it's below that. Is there anything that specifies how the renter is setting their prices? Are those prices have to be set in the contract beforehand? Well, they're set according to what other rental stores rent for.

Judiciary Committee (Senate & House) — March 31, 2025 (2:21:32)

Obviously, those things aren't going to run in the $25,000 range. But, I mean, you're looking at felonies here if you keep equipment longer than you were

Judiciary Committee (Senate & House) — March 31, 2025 (2:20:56)

So I think I understand the impetus behind this. My concern as someone who rents equipment from time to time is the lack of definitions, I guess. So if I keep a piece of equipment knowingly or not knowingly, what is, is there a time period that's specified whereby which I, I mean, obviously I don't do this, but I know that there's people out there But if I forget that I've got this piece of equipment, because I mean, it's everything from backhoes and trailers, right, to small saws and things like that.

Judiciary Committee (Senate & House) — March 31, 2025 (2:20:50)

Secretary McKee. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
