Our thank you thank you representative any further questions from committee members. J. none representative speak to you ready to close with your bill I am closed and I'd ask for a good vote so you're making a motion for a do pass do pass so we have a motion for representative pay us per week FOR do pass any discussion on the motion. Saying none all in favor say aye. All opposed say no the ayes have it to bill is passed. Committee members you have a question. The bill is passed. You have a question not not concerning the bill but yes okay. God you're recognized for a question. I would like to request that we honor the the process that we started this with we waited all the the. The maps that we have to see which one the the Committee preferred most we have time to do that now it isn't supposed to rushing this and really for transparency purpose I think we should go back and laid all the maps hazard amended the city which really are the top three because I think at this point now we can't say that because there's been so many amendments to bills that were in the original and some bills have not been waited at all I think it would be just an act of transparency I think we should go back and and and give every bill the same chance. That's why motion. Representative back let me just take to that motion at this time yesterday alluded to that one I opened up with my opening comments that we would go back to the original process and that the first bill we would hear with the one that garnered the most votes from this committee and representative speaks was the sponsor of that bill she went to the in the table to present it if you'll recall there was a proper motion made which could be done at any time and so but are you making a motion to at this time to do what. During our national discussions we we it was said that if a new map please introduce that we would throw it in with the with the other maps that we had already waited and go back to that process so that we would get a full. The. The committee's feelings on which one the maps got the most votes my point is is that there's been new maps introduced to this committee there has been maps that have been met and we've heard this major move amendments made to a but they were never waited on the original like we waited the original we just said okay we're going to take these maps forward and I think for just for transparency purposes I don't know that it'll change anything or it may change some things that may not but I think for transparency purposes we ought to go back to the result is in white all the maps as amended together so we can get the true feeling of how the committee feels. Okay that is that is I've checked that is a proper motion give her the motion from representative back. Any discussion on his motion. Representative Deffenbaugh. Yes I just had a question how okay so for the if that happened how. what we do the Senate what we you know. What we do they they got to go back and do it again or what would what would happen there they should go back to the whole process we passed it so the bill out but representative Beck did make a proper motion that this committee needs to consider and if the if the will of this committee is to pass that motion then we would just have to get guidance from there but we have to go back through the process okay thank you okay yes Sir okay any further discussion on the motion. Shea none all in favor of the motion say aye. All opposed say no. Those have it your motion is failed. Committee members. This meeting is adjourned thank you.
