I you Mr chairman on a representative acre I'm here to present on behalf of senator Justin Boyd and representative that Graham like in Senate bill forty seven so I appreciate the committee's already agreed that technology is advancing and that vehicles safety measures have taken quite a turn of the last half century in that effort we have a a bill here that I'm I'm excited resent as my first bill I relate to the sponsors that I appreciate the opportunity to mess up someone else's bill for my first run as opposed to my own so they're excited about that This bill of. That circuit board as discussed with me at length is a constituent initiated a constituent lead bill it was filed three weeks ago and so far has presented no opposition that was seen in the Senate as it passed unanimously both in committee and on the floor. This bill title to repeal the law that prohibits leaving a running vehicle unattended to German Holcomb says excitement this will allow you to be able to start your vehicle and enjoy the comforts of heated steering wheels and heated seats without running the risk of a fine so at the current time. Arkansas Code twenty seven dash fifty one dash thirteen oh six so it's a no person driving or in charge of a motor vehicle shall permitted to stand unattended without first stopping the engine locking the ignition and removing the key. At this language as originally introduced in the nineteen thirties was last visited in the nineteen fifties and I would say that it's very apparent that vehicle safety and technology advancements over the last seven years have innately removed the original concerns of the nineteen fifty language and and I believe that the this bill will remove kind of a undue burden on the government interceding into the personal lives of our constituents so with that I would like to answer any questions and you Sir any questions from committee. Ventas read thank you Mr I just wanna make sure I understand the bill and appreciate what you explained it'd you're removing just the section I hope that's the case for a it's okay to leave a vehicle running but you're you're not addressing the partner removing of war it's unlocked or unattended vehicle that's on lock that is still going to be in the statute is that correct just that you can't leave it running that is all right it's law correct me if I'm wrong that is correct yes Sir okay we'll be sure on that thank you.
