Normally we're going to meet on Mondays at 11 here obviously is a city committee we got to have a little bit flexibility especially when things are going on in in in the A. B. committees that we need to know about but we should have the agenda is prepared at least 2 days before the meeting in most cases and sponsors will be given notification that their bills will be coming up. Sir Murdock yes Sir. I think we legislative black caucus meets at that time on Mondays. Is at a regular meeting yes Sir mmhm. Every other week. Everyone knows every week and yes we work to accommodate that and I'll speak with Jessica on the other shares that have there's other things going on it's like that again as a city committee we're kind of a different creature and we'll we'll figure out what will work it out okay okay thank you for bringing that to my attention Sir Clark. Senator Rice this question how the Journal tablet Senator J. Cooper mentioned in. Senate what about conflicts and and I guess. We need to get our speed dial set up and judiciary will be meeting I think Monday and Wednesday will start at 9 was judiciaire goes long it's just one floor down you know I can travel back and forth but we we definitely need to get set up of our numbers know what we can do that efficiently I don't know if you want to check to see who else I was conflicts on the committee well as you know Senator Rice Sanders Stubblefield as my seatmate and you just on the other side and so we will we will corner him and get that worked out so we can accommodate everybody and let me apologize in advance we are. Going to have to be as a city committee we may have to have a little bit more of a flexible schedule then the a and B. committees do but we will. We'll create a a text thread or whatever where I can text all y'all and instantly let you know that that that you know whatever's going on a sentence I know it always seem to get worked out but it is this will be a good start yes and and let me say to all House member station you have legislation another committees if there's some. Problem we need to shift things just a tad bit to accommodate shall let me know on everything I can to do that centers for it has been administered has been a committee of flexibility. Because as you said we are not intellectual persons will be flat you are. As we as as befits a solemn but a lot of changes upon adjournment so that are and sometimes is that. Depending upon what it is but we have been blessed not to have a huge agenda this may be different because we are technology and infrastructure technology infrastructure is going to be a great part of what we do going forward yes ma'am I want everyone on the committee I'm glad you brought that point up center and I do the. Sir board filed a bill this morning that will be considering at the next meeting of its I think a. Good bill it it has to do with correcting some old statute that I consider outdated but I let him president is bill next week when we meet and I will try to move through this agenda as quickly as possible so. I don't believe I have anything else yes his or anything else we need to cover any announcements or any anything from committees committee members. The amazing thing in the details all right well folks you'll have a great rest of the week in see you next week here in this committee and senator see you tomorrow morning after no other business committee stands adjourned. But. Okay. Okay.
