and we'll get started. Is it a concurrent Senate amendment? Yes, Mr. Chair. It's a concurrent Senate amendment on House Bill 2074. You ready? Explain your amendment. Okay. Thank you, Mr. Chair and committee. There are a few little technical changes that we failed to get in our first amendment on my bill concerning the transmission of absentee ballot applications. We did add a few technical corrections to this about the citizens temporarily residing outside the United States as well as the military service people.
So we had to add that to our bill. Do you think these are good amendments? I sure do,

Representative Cowling. Do, Pat. Representative Hutchinson, do you have any questions? I have a motion to do pass. All in favor say aye. Aye. You've passed your amendment as amended. Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, committee. Well, as an amendment, we concurred with the Senate on the amendment.
Next on the agenda, we're waiting for a couple of senators to show up. Rep. Slinker, you got any other bills that you need to run or you
wanted to talk about while you're there? No, I just hadn't left the chair yet. I'm sorry. That's okay. You can stay there as long as you like. Is there anyone in the room that has a bill they would like to present to this committee?
Rep. Tyler, you take your seat at the end of the table and tell us

Anyone else in the House that has a bill they need to get out
of here today? If not, we will wait for a little while and
see if we got to cut. This is going to probably be our last meeting because, well, no, well, it depends on how far we get along here, Representative Bernard. We're going to make the decision right at the end to see if we need to have one after adjournment based on what bills we have left.
I have a couple of senators who are trying to get down here to run a bill if they make it. Senator, if you'd take the end of the table and tell us your bill number
and bill 886. Senator, you're ready to explain your bill 886.
Speaker 21

Yes, sir. Thank you, Mr. Chair. there. This is language I worked on with procurement. When they make the reports to the budget about how the state is working with minority vendors, in that report, there's not been a line item for general contractors. And all this does is adds general contractors. And this is their language they suggested that they wanted to use. Is there any questions from the committee?

Are you closed for your bill, Senator? I am closed. We have a motion to do pass on Senate Bill 886. All in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? You've passed your bill, Senator. Thank you so much. Thank you for coming down. Does anyone in the House have another bill they need to run at this time? If not, we would sit here for a little while and see if we have some more members or some more sponsors show up. So we're going back in at what time? Two. We will take a slight recess then.
You're most welcome, Senator, any time. Just remember us when we get down on that end. All right.
