bill. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Members, House Bill 1470 is a pre-adjudication bill, And really what this is, is a bill to allow judges and judicial districts to establish a pre-adjudication program if they want to. It doesn't require. It's simply permissive.
You may be familiar with drug courts. They're very popular in the state of Arkansas. That's a pre-adjudication program. This bill would allow for judicial districts who would like to create a pre-adjudication program. Both the judge as well as the prosecutor would have to sign off on this. It would allow other state agencies to help in doing this. There's no appropriation, no additional money. If a judicial district wanted to do this, they'd have to do with the current resources they already have. It's a good bill. It unanimously came out of the House Judiciary Committee, and I'd appreciate a good vote and be happy to take any questions.

Representative Greg Leding

11:07
Mr. Speaker. Colleagues, we're essentially doing the same thing with this bill, just updating some of the
code and clarifying a few things. We are changing the definition of impaired in the Adult Maltreatment Act
to create a rebuttable presumption that a person who has a Social Security representative payee is impaired for the purposes of the Maltreatment Act. This comes out of a recent case in Hot Springs. An individual was providing services to clients and created a bank account and was taking money from these clients and putting it into this account and during an investigation was unable to account for any of their clients' money. So we are changing the law to make it more difficult for people to exploit people in these situations. I'd appreciate a good vote.

Okay, are we not trying to stop that process as far as, through the legislative process, us making the rule changes through laws instead of them implementing the rules and then coming back to us through the interim committees? Is this allowing them to make the rule changes and then coming back to us? That's what I'm trying to ask.

House Bill 1790 by Representative Broadway, an act concerning who is required to consent to an adoption and who is entitled to notice that an adoption proceeding has been initiated. Representative Broadway, you recognize
Representative Mary Broadaway
Unverified
15:19
to explain the bill. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Good morning. I may be a little lengthier than usual this time. My experience in committee is that I perhaps did not do a good enough job explaining what this bill does. And when one is used to dealing with these things
on a daily basis, often it appears a little bit more simple than it really is. So I'm going to try to make this as clear as I can and take the confusion out of it. This bill I brought, I asked to have done on behalf of some of my friends who are practitioners, lawyers out in the field that do adoption work. And what we have found is that this law, first of all, does two things. The first thing it does is it ties up a loophole. Right now, under Arkansas law, if a man is not married to a
woman, that he is the father of her child, he can establish paternity in one of two ways. The first one is when they are in the hospital and the baby is born, both parties can sign what is called an acknowledgement of paternity. And under our paternity statute, then it is legally presumed under law that that man is the legal father of the child. The other way that it can be done is through judicial order. Any of the parties may file to establish paternity, and a court will issue
a finding and sign a court order adjudicating this man to be the father. So we have, number one, an acknowledgement of paternity in the paternity statute, or we have an adjudication of paternity that is assigned court order. In our adoption statute, it sets forth who is required to consent to an adoption. And what it does is it sets forth a man who is not married to the mother, but who has been adjudicated by court order that he must receive notice or his consent must be
required to consent to the adoption. It does not include the man who has signed and acknowledged of paternity and who is legally presumed. So what this bill does is it tries to track the paternity statute and include in our adoption statute that man who has signed an acknowledgement of paternity and is legally presumed to be the father. It ties up a loophole because although most of our judges use as best practice and they may inquire, well, has someone filed or signed
an acknowledgement of paternity, under the statute, they're not required. And sometimes people can be a little sneaky, and they can come in and they can say, there has been no paternity order establishing paternity by court order, and that man who has signed the acknowledgement of paternity does not get notice of the adoption proceeding. Why is that a problem? Because what that does is that can allow that person to come back after the adoption is granted and try to set it aside. So this statute is, or this bill is designed, number
one, to ensure that a father, if he has signed an acknowledgement of paternity, is given notice and his consent could be required in an adoption proceeding. And number two, it is to help preserve the new family unit and ensure that nobody can come back and set that adoption aside. That's part one. Part two is really pretty easy. There is a very specifically set forth provision under the law as, again, whose consent is required or whose consent is not required under certain circumstances.
If a father has abandoned his child through failure to support or failure to have significant and meaningful communication and visitation with that child, then their consent may not be required. But just because someone's consent is not required under law, notice is required to be given to them. That confuses some practitioners sometimes. So a friend of mine who is an older practitioner who does adoptions very occasionally said,
would you please clarify that and put something in the law that says that these people, even though their consent is not required, that you've got to give them notice. I'm not changing the law. That is the existence as the law stands right now. But it just kind of sets you on notice that, yeah, you've got to do that. So that's what these two laws do. I would appreciate very much a good vote. Representative Broadway

Members, this bill, all this bill does is clarify who collects and who is responsible for subordinate volunteer fire districts, who collects the fees for them.

And this is the language of the Association of Counties. They

appeals to a county court from a county equalization board
and to prohibit a county court clerk from charging a fee for filing an appeal from a county equalization
board. Representative Schlinker, do you recognize to explain the bill? Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Members, what this bill does, we may all be familiar with the process that beginning in August 1 of every year, persons who are aggrieved by the assessor's assessment on their property may appear before the Equalization Board. When the Equalization Board then makes the decision, that property owner has the right to appeal their decision to the county court.
What this bill does, then, is simply to say that there shall not be a filing fee as a county court case for that appeal from the Equalization Board to the county court. We also have put it in two different places in the law regarding filing fees and miscellaneous fees that are charged for other types of cases appearing in county court. I would appreciate a good vote.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This is a smelly little bill because it deals with sewage contracts. From time to time, cities will contract with one another. One city will contract with another one to treat its sewage. This is real simple. This was 1933 law, we're amending it, where the contract was limited to 15 years. With today's infrastructure and the cost of putting it in lots of times, the bonds on the infrastructure are sold for 30 to 40 years.
All this is doing is amending it to where a city can sign a 30-year contract with another entity on sewage treatment here. That's all it does. It means it from 15

Wilkins, you recognize to explain the bill. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Good morning, everyone. I want to first thank Representative Hammer for allowing me to participate in our baritone and bass duet this morning.
Basically what we're doing here with 1878 and the department asked me to carry this legislation, which might surprise some of you since you're aware that I have really been on their case about tightening up their responsibilities regarding their work with juveniles. However, the matter before us now is different than that.
Basically, what we're asking in this bill is that we put the Department of Human Services, Youth Services Division, in the same posture that Arkansas law currently has community correction, state militia, state military department, Community Correction, I mentioned, Department of Correction,
and would extend that same protection to the Division of Youth Services when juveniles are outside of their custody or tend to do what they sometimes do. In other words, the Department would not be responsible for the acts of these youngsters. And I'd be glad to take any questions. Well, I wouldn't really be glad to, but I'll take one or two if there are any.

bill. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Friends, I bring you House Bill 1584. If you will recall, those of us that were here last session, we amended this bill to expand the parameters to allow more children and also grandparents to get these ID cards for our minor children. What we found out in the last two years was sometimes when there are split households, a divorce, that each parent needs a card, and we only had provisions in there to get one card.
So what this bill does is amends it to allow up to three cards for each child, and each one is paid for $5 apiece, so there may be a little bit additional in revenue, but there's no expense to the state. Other than that, we just did this so we don't have to keep coming back and amending it. Otherwise, I'd appreciate a good vote. I'll take any questions, but would appreciate a

It's in the law right now. If it happens before 15 days before the election, they have to send out a notice to everyone by mail. But if it happens after that time frame, it's not enough time to get that out to them. So what they would be able to do if they had to move from one polling place for another because of some kind of emergency, they would place a sign there that would tell them where to go.

is severely ill. Representative Catlett, he recognized to explain the bill. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Your members, this bill would allow state employees of the same state agency to donate a cured sick leave or annual leave to their fellow colleagues if they become severely ill or a member of their immediate family becomes severely ill.
Right now, a lot of school districts allow their teachers to do this, And it really helps the agencies to be able to do this. I worked in state government for 30 years, and a lot of those people, my colleagues or my friends, became family in time. And, you know, it's something if they have a severe illness in their family, you want to do something to try to help them. And if you'll allow me to do this, that's what we'll do.
Appreciate a good vote. And I'll take any questions. Representative Linderman, for
a purpose. A question, please. You recognize? Representative Catlett, if I understand this right, a lot of state agencies, and I know the school district that I was at, had what was determined as a catastrophic illness policy where individuals within the school system or the agency can donate certain days, and a person can take those days out, and there is a limit set on that. Is that not the policy with the agencies now?
Well, yes, sir. Sir, there is a catastrophic leave policy, and members can give to that, but this will allow them to give to an individual that they work with. This would allow individual transfer from
one to another? Yes, sir, it would. And, too, I might add
that they have to get authorization from the agency head to be able to do it. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Representative Mayberry, for what purpose?
Representative Andy Mayberry

Have you had an opportunity to visit with any of the human resources individuals at the different agencies to see what sort of administration issues there might be with this? I mean, is this going to be a difficult thing for them to be
able to handle from that perspective? Well, all I can say, Representative Mayberry, on my own experience, I don't think it will be, but I talked to the State Employees Association, and they were for the bill.

in there that the supervisor, it has to be approved, so it's not automatic. Is that correct? That is correct. My next question is, didn't you have a provision in there where the employee that's giving the hours
still has to maintain a minimum number so they don't put themselves in a
deficit situation? Yes, sir. There is a minimum of 80 hours. They cannot get down

Question. Recognize. Representative Catlett, our agencies now are not
allowed to, our employees are not allowed to donate leave time until the end of the year
when they have excess hours. Is that right? Well, that's usually
common practice that they will not donate time until the end of the year because a lot of times, in most cases, my experience, the people that donate to the catastrophic donate it before they lose it, after they receive the maximum amount. And usually by the end of the year, they donate at that time. If my
Representative Butch Wilkins

Representative Williams, you're recognized to explain your
Representative Darrin Williams
Unverified
41:37
bill. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Members, an appraisal management company is basically like a middleman. A lender often hires an appraisal management company. And appraisal management companies can order both broker's price opinions or appraisals, depending on what's needed. Now, a broker's price opinion is really a streamlined version of an appraisal, almost. A broker price opinion is usually done when you're doing a short sale or foreclosure or when the bank's doing a home equity loan line of credit or something of that nature.
It's less intense and less costly, often done by real estate agents. What this bill is doing is simply trying to remove a nonsensical provision in the law. Right now, the law says an appraisal management company cannot order a broker's price opinion unless they own the property. Well, appraisal management companies are not in the business of owning property, so that doesn't make sense. The lender could itself go and order a BPO on the exact property that the appraisal management company is not allowed to order the BPO for the lender on.
This is moving the provision that would prevent an appraisal management company from ordering a BPO on property that they don't own. So it's simply removing a nonsensical provision from the law, and I'd be happy to try to answer any questions. Seeing none, I'd appreciate a good vote. Thank you.

1582 House Bill 1582 by Representative Barnett to amend the Arkansas Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act of 1971 Representative
Barnett, you are recognized to explain the bill Good morning, thank you
Representative Jonathan Barnett
Unverified
43:27
fellow colleagues I'll try to do this quickly because it's Friday and I know we all want to leave as soon as possible The Arkansas Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act was enacted to ensure the safe operation of natural gas pipeline facilities in Arkansas.
The Arkansas Public Service Commission Pipeline Safety Office is responsible for inspecting the natural gas pipeline facilities in the state to ensure safe operation to prevent natural gas incidents that may cause death, injury, or property damage. Both the state and federal laws require Arkansas statutes and codes to be at least equally stringent to federal laws. Pipeline Safety Office works cooperatively with the U.S. Department of Transportation to inspect facilities in Arkansas. As part of that cooperation, the Pipeline Safety Office is reimbursed through a grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation
for approximately 50 percent of its annual expenditures. The grant agreement requires the Commission to maintain its regulations and state statutes in compliance with the federal laws and regulations. Failure to do so will result in a loss of a portion of the federal funding, which will result in increased costs to Arkansas ratepayers. Section 1 clarifies the notice requirements for commission rulemaking proceedings for pipeline safety regulation. This makes the notice provisions the same as for the other commission rules.
Section 2 increases the maximum civil sanctions amount to be equally to the maximum federal civil sanction amounts. The Commission has discretion in asserting civil sanctions up to a maximum based upon the nature of a violation. And, historically, imposition of sanctions has been very limited, and the Commission has not imposed sanctions at the maximum legal limits. Section 3 establishes the criminal penalties for willful violations of the Pipeline Safety Code and for tampering with pipeline make markers.
It is also established as a civil penalty mount. This is required to match federal requirements. This bill is intended to maintain safe operation of natural gas pipelines facilities in Arkansas and prevent incidents that could result in death, injury, or property damage. There is no known opposition to the bill, and the commission has worked closely with the natural gas utilities in preparing these revisions. Appreciate a good

Representative Jonathan Barnett
Unverified
46:21
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Underground Facilities Damage Protection Act established the Arkansas One Call Center
and is intended to prevent damage to underground utility facilities and ensure public safety. Third-party damage is major cause of damage to underground utility facilities, and by contacting Arkansas One Call before digging, damage can be avoided. The facilities can be marked so an excavator can avoid the utility facilities. The law requires contacting Arkansas OneCall before digging. As with House Bill 1582, the Arkansas Public Service Commission Pipeline Safety Office is required to ensure that the state
OneCall statutes are consistent with the federal requirements. This is part of the requirement to maintain the same level of federal funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation and failure to do so will result in loss of funding and increased cost to ratepayers. The purpose of one-call centers is to prevent damage to underground facilities, which cause damage and cause money to repair and create potential public safety hazards that can result in death, injury, or property damage. Section 1 brings the civil sanctions for one-call violators equal to the federal standards consistent with requirements of state and federal law.
The civil sanction provisions are enforced by local prosecuting attorneys, I don't see Nate here right now, with assistance from the Pipeline Safety Office and the Natural Gas Utility Operator. The prosecutor has the discretion in assessing the level of sanction, and ultimately a circuit judge will enter an order. Sections 2 and 3 clarify various exemptions and eliminate some exemptions. The federal law requires the elimination of most exemptions, with the exception of utility facility operators excavating by hand,
and any excavation and rights-of-way require contacting Arkansas One Call and is requesting location of the underground facilities before digging. These amendments clarify that any excavation with the right-of-ways requires notification of facility location before digging. This will help reduce damage to underground facilities, improve public safety, and save money. Section 4, establish criminal penalties for willful violation of one-call laws that result in the damage of natural gas pipeline facilities. This provision will be implemented again by local prosecutors.
This provision will help reduce damage to underground facilities, improve public safety, and save money. The commission has worked closely with the Arkansas One Call and utility facility owners. The commission also has worked with counties, municipalities, and Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department to assure that there's not any problems with these amendments. There is no opposition to this bill. Sorry I didn't get up here and just say I wanted to update and clarify, but I thought you ought
