Representative Ladyman you are recognized. Thank you Mr chairman. committee members this resolution is for the academies in Jonesboro high school basketball team. they won the six A. boys state championship this year this is their third consecutive championship. Referred to in the five a this first unit six a so get ready confidence there and I want to recognize them in the House. All right any questions. Our motion do pass on the floor any discussions on the motion all in favor say aye. Graduations representative Ladyman to the Jonesborough is a great win thank you Mr chairman and committee all right. All right we will move now to House resolution ten seventy six representative fight you are recognized. Thank you Mr chairman. National debt history month that celebrated nationally from April first to April thirtieth. And the Arkansas school for the deaf with established in eighteen forty nine and continues to serve persons of all ages who are deaf deaf blind or hard of hearing from early childhood all the way to adulthood. And people who identify themselves as staff are actually members of a cultural and linguistic community with shared language distinct culture and glorious history and which Arkansas should celebrate and so this month of April I would like for us to remember our friends who are and members at the deaf community. Could you sign for us I would appreciate a good vote. Very nice. What I said was. Any questions from the committee. We have a motion do pass any discussion on the motion all in favor say aye. Thank you representative fight resolution is passed. Thank you. All right. We will move now to House resolution ten seventy five representative Barker you are recognized yeah. Thank you Mr chair House resolution ten seventy five is your claim April as the school library month in Arkansas the American liver Association announced the first National Library week in nineteen fifty eight and the first national school library month in nineteen eighty five and I think we all know how important the School Library is as a resource multiple resources to our students so also this year's National Library week will be celebrated with the theme there's more to the story. Which makes me think of Paul Harvey I'm not that everyone knows who that is I do and so that is the resolution to proclaim the month of April is school library month in Arkansas. All right any questions on the committee. We had a motion I make a motion to pass do pass any discussion on the motion all in favor say aye aye all right thank you representative Barker thank you Mr okay I will run SP three ninety three from here this is actually a bill which fixes a technical issue with regards to payment for conference travel it the way it was originally written you had to basically forecast exactly what the expense would be we obviously are not able to do that and so this just allows the Speaker to be able to make that appropriation discussion and then when the Fund comes in and then we pay it at that point but is really just a technical correction on that any questions. I'll go ahead make a motion to do pass any discussion on the motion all in favor say aye. All right. we have a technical correction evidently we had something that was at issue with House memorial resolution ten oh five that's at the top of your agenda that was from representative Lundstrum we actually already past that she's actually already presented it so what I'm instructed that we need to do is go ahead and pass it with the correction on it and to be honest I don't even know what the correction is but I think it was just a a typographical error of some kind and so with that I'll go in the making the motion to do pass any discussion on the motion all in favor say aye okay thank you. All right a representative Brooks is. Right here okay good deal all right real represent Brooks you're recognized for House resolution ten seventy eight.
