Chair sees a quorum. Members, Chairman Johnson's in a committee meeting over on the Senate side, and Representative, the co-chair is sick today, so they asked me to sit in for them. So on the agenda, we only have one item to concur on Senate Amendment, HB 1189. Representative Clowney. Representative Clowney, are you prepared to run your amendment? You're recognized. Identify yourself. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Nicole

Clowney, Representative District 21. Thank you all for being here for one bill. I feel terrible, but hopefully this will be quick. That's all right. You're recognized to present your amendment. Thank you. This is House Bill 1189. This was a bill dealing with behavior analysts and their licensure. It was amended over on the Senate side to do three things. First, it took out all references to a national certifying board. The whole point of this bill was to sort of make sure that the locus of decision-making power was in Arkansas, so we wanted to make that extra clear. Second, added Senator Irvin as a co-sponsor. And then third, just clarifies that two members of the existing board should have this particular certification since they will be the ones responsible for this license. So that's all this amendment does. I'm happy to answer any questions about it. We'll get there.
