Speaker 20
2:42
House. Dear Mr. Speaker, this is to inform you that on January 31, 2011,
I approve the following measures from the regular session of the 88th General Assembly. House Bill 1089 is Act 4,
Speaker 21
2:53
and House Bill 1020 is Act 5. Sincerely, Mike Beebe.
Thank you, Mr. Clerk. Place the communication in the journal. Morning hours expired. Members, we'll go to the red calendar. Mr. Clerk, read House Bill 1091. House
Speaker 20
3:20
Bill 1091 by Representative Lampkin to amend the provisions regarding the assessment and collection of fees and services charged by County Solid Waste Management Systems to make technical corrections.
Representative Lampkin, you are recognized to come to the well. You are
Representative Sheilla E. Lampkin
Unverified
3:49
recognized to explain your bill. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. House Bill 1091 was drawn up and originated with the Arkansas Association of Counties and the County Judges Association because of the difficulty particularly these little
counties in southeast Arkansas have in collecting their sanitation fees. They've had the fees for a while, but people just don't seem to equate a sanitation fee with electricity, that it's something that you have to pay. So they have been collecting them and trying to collect the delinquent ones, and really the bill only pertains to after the fee becomes delinquent, in most cases after nine months. What they do at the end of nine months is they turn it over to the collector, the county collector,
and the fee is attached to the property tax, and then they can't get their license renewal or car tags until they pay their fee. And most of the time that works, you know, when it's either pay your fee or you can't drive a car they pay, but there's still a problem. So the basic changes in this bill is the fact that collectors want to add a 10% fee, like really not an interest, but a fee for handling the collection after they become delinquent. The reason they want the 10% is in many cases they're having to actually hire an extra person,
either full-time or part-time, to collect the fees, maybe in some situations to decide who the renter was. So it is a bill for the counties. It was having the support of the Arts Association of Counties, the County Judges Association, the Clerks Association, and I also had this read by Little Rock Property Owners Association, and they have no problem with it. That's basically what it proposes. It does encourage, not demand, but encourage the property owners
to maybe include this fee with their rental fee in some cases, like sometimes they include electricity or water. But that's not a necessity, just a suggestion. Representative Burris, what purpose? Question. You're recognized for
Representative John Burris
Unverified
6:01
question. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Representative Lampkin, it's a 10% fee on the fine, is that correct? Or on the fee, on the sanitation fee is where the 10% would be assessed.
Not on the tax bill as a whole, but on the actual sanitation fee that
Speaker 31
6:14
their delinquent on? Just on the sanitation bill.
Representative Sheilla E. Lampkin
Unverified
6:20
Okay. Thank you. And in nine months, it would actually be less than $100, and most of these counties are around $100, so that's $10. And

Representative Colin Smith, what purpose? Question. Be recognized. I would like to ask Representative Lampkin to please pull the bill to do as part of your special speakers to insert the word delinquent in Section 2IA.
It does not say specifically delinquent, and we'd like you to request you to do that. I'm
Representative Sheilla E. Lampkin
Unverified
6:54
not sure that I could do that, to tell you the truth. I would have no problem with that, even though the bill was written for delinquent taxpayers, I mean delinquent sanitation people. When speaking to you and the county association
Representative Linda Collins-Smith
Unverified
7:09
folks, they said that the word delinquent did need to be added. Many of us feel like it should be added before it's sent to the Senate and then voted down in the Senate.
Representative Sheilla E. Lampkin
Unverified
7:18
I have no problem with that, Lyndon, if it's, you know, it's legal to do it. Although, I'm disappointed that they haven't read, that they did not ever catch this before. because understanding it like I do, I know that they know it means delinquent, but, you know. I agree. I'm disappointed as well. They came to me
Representative Linda Collins-Smith

and told me it should have the word delinquent. We're asking you to pull the bill, insert delinquent, and I'll sign on your bill. Representative Lamkin, this is your

Choice. Oh, mercy. A tough one. I'm handing the ball back to you. Yes, sir. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As the saying goes, I'm already as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. So I think it's a good bill. I understand Linda's concern. I apologize that nobody called it as many people as read it. I have no problem with it because I know it means delinquent.

you are recognized to present your bill. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Ladies and gentlemen, House Bill 1049 will greatly improve the safety of our kids. This bill is designed to prohibit the use of cell phones in school zones when students are present. It is a secondary offense, not a primary offense. I'll be happy to take any questions.
Speaker 36
10:47
Representative Hutchinson, what purpose? Thank you for being concerned
Representative Donna Hutchinson

about our children that are in schools. Have you ever waited for an hour in a long line of cars for your child or grandchild to come out of the school?
Representative Fred Allen
Unverified
11:05
Yes, I have waited for a while, but that was quite some time
ago. And back through the time I was waiting, we didn't have cell phones.
Representative Mayberry, what purpose? Question. You're recognized. This is to just expound
Representative Andy Mayberry
Unverified
11:26
a bit on Representative Hutchinson's comment or question just a moment ago. I'm going to present this with a purely hypothetical situation that does not resemble my family in any situation whatsoever. However, there are some campuses, I know that where an elementary school and an intermediate campus may join each other, may be next to each other. You have multiple children at different campuses. You have cars
that are lined up for maybe an hour in advance. The people in those cars, oftentimes, especially during cold weather or hot weather, their car is running, and so they are operators of the car, but those vehicles are in school zones and moving very slowly. Would this preclude those people who are essentially at a standstill from being able to use their cell phones to perform whatever duties that they needed
Representative Fred Allen
Unverified
12:23
to do. Good question, Representative Mayberry.
The thing that we have to remember is that this is not a primary offense. In order for you to be ticketed, you have to break the law, primary law, and if you're talking on your cell phone, then you're ticketed for talking on your cell phone. But if you're just in the school zone and you're talking on your cell phone, it's very unlikely that the police will ask you to get off your cell phone. Representative Elliott, what purpose? You're recognized.
Representative Efrem Elliott
Unverified
12:56
Representative Allen, when you said it was a secondary offense, that means that if somebody's speeding through the school and they're talking on their cell phone, then they'll get a ticket for speedy and they'll get additional and so this is just a secondary so if you get caught doing something first you can get tagged with this additional is that correct correct thank

by Representative Edwards to prohibit the payment of attorney's fees of privately retained attorneys for indigent persons. Representative Edwards,
you are recognized to present your bill.
Representative John Charles Edwards
Unverified
14:31
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The purpose of this bill is an accountability measure for the Arkansas Public Defender Commission. The genesis of this legislation came out of a Supreme Court decision this past May. And essentially what that decision said was that if an individual in Arkansas is an indigent And if their attorney wishes to have expenses associated with their defense, those expenses can be paid by the Public Defender Commission.
Now, the commission appealed that from a lower court ruling in Pulaski County, but the Arkansas Supreme Court, in a 7-0 decision, found in favor of the defendant's attorney. And the opinion has a good lesson, I think, for all of us as legislators, because the court talked about how they looked at the plain and unambiguous language utilized in the statute in making their ruling.
And I think the court, in my opinion, it was a ruling that was proper based upon what they had before them. What I'm doing with this bill in an effort to use plain and unambiguous language, I want to make it clear that looking forward in the future that any attorney fees for retained counsel would not be paid by the commission. As a policy matter, they're not paid now, but to go ahead and make that clear into the statute and then make it clear in the statute that should an indigent wish to have other expenses that are associated with having their defense pulled together,
that their attorney meets the same criteria as attorneys that are appointed or employed by the Public Defender Commission. The Public Defender Commission is there to provide defense for those individuals who are unable to afford their own attorney. They do that in a variety of ways. Some attorneys are appointed by judges, others are actually employees of the commission, while still others are contracted.
We're just making sure that the same standards that these attorneys meet are met by a retained counsel, which chooses to have their expenses paid by the commission. I think the way I've drafted this bill meets any constitutional issues that are out there. I think it is a good oversight, and I appreciate a good vote. Members, you

explain your bill. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Good afternoon, fellow legislators. I'd like to tell you the story of Mr. Lance Owens.
Mr. Owens was serving time in prison, and while there, he plotted a way to get revenge. He began to file false land claims against those who helped to put him there. The victims of this crime had to hire attorneys. They had to invest money and time trying to clear their name and reclaim their good credit rating. This was a burden on the victims, but the crime was just a misdemeanor, so it had no impact on Mr. Owens' life. And it didn't matter how many times Mr. Owens filed these false claims, it was still just a misdemeanor.
I have other examples of people who committed this crime. Out of revenge, it was false. They filed false liens, false land transfers, even false foreclosures. Clearly, we need to change the law to prevent this from becoming a pattern among those seeking revenge. House Bill 1045 accomplishes that. First of all, it will protect all citizens. The second time you knowingly file a false claim, it becomes a low-level felony.
Let's say the neighborhood Scrooge gets mad. He files a false claim on his next-door neighbor. That first time will be a misdemeanor. If he files something across the street that's a false land claim, that second time will be a low-level felony. But this bill also creates a special category consisting of those who make the laws that's us, and those who enforce the laws. Filing a Falk's claim against those in this section makes the crime a Class C felony.
The physical impact is minimal. The Arkansas Realtors endorse this bill. The Attorney General's Office endorses this bill, and others in law enforcement also endorse this bill. It's a very simple bill, and I would appreciate a good vote.

You are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have two reasons for wanting to come speak for this bill. One is before I present one of my own, I want to make sure you can all see me in behind the speaker stand. The second reason is because I've had this done to me. I had a false claim filed against a business of mine, didn't even know that it had been filed, and leaned on my property until I went to have an assessor's report and tried to sell the property. Then I found somebody that filed a false claim against it.
And there was an impact on it. Yes, there was. So please, this is a good bill. It affects more people than you think. I ask you to vote for Donna's bill. Thank you. Thank you, Representative Benedict.

First of all, there are three district court judges located in Sebastian County. And by error, we weren't able to add the Department 3, which is what is in the bill. That means the third judge. The other part of the bill, in the lower part, merely deletes the language with regard to specificity on the amount. This brings this bill into alignment

But a couple of examples are roof repairs at the law enforcement training facility
in Camden, some generators for the Arkansas Rural Water Association, a generator and all-time, all-timer as three examples of what this money goes for, the type of emergency. Representative
King, for what purpose? I'm taking it easy back there, okay. I'm just happy to see you standing back there, Representative King. Representative Lee, what purpose? Question. You're recognized? Rep. Webb,

is there a group that makes the decision on when the money's appropriated, who it's appropriated to, what it's appropriated for?
Representative Kathy Webb

a group that we're involved in. Thank you. Rep. Klammer,
Representative Ann V. Clemmer

33:40
what purpose? Question. You're recognized. Yes, Representative Webb, would this be a situation like the tornado that hit East End that did not get declared or flooding where it is not declared a natural disaster by a federal disaster?
Is that the kind of thing we're talking about? I'm sorry, I'm
Representative Kathy Webb
Unverified
33:56
just not real clear. Well, it is for things that are not declared natural disasters, and then the discretion is up to the governor on what to use the funds for. So I was just given several examples, the ones I shared from you, but we could certainly ask them, the governor's office, to see if they appropriated money for those particular things. I think the
Representative Ann V. Clemmer
Unverified
34:14
examples I gave were not declared disasters. At least a couple of them have not been. And I think the governor authorized those to go in. I was just asking for clarification.
