To require that religious organizations are protected during an emergency and to declare an emergency. Represent Bentley you're recognized explain the bill. Colleagues I'm sure in your state district like my district churches and other religious organizations provide extensive benefits for meeting the spiritual needs of your constituents to health care free drug rehab with groups like celebrate recovery to feeding the needy I've seen the response from these groups only accelerate during this pandemic. Across our nation religion contributes one point two trillion dollars to our nation's economy and society at large what all of the charitable activities such as healthcare educational services volunteer activities to assist the poor job training teaching English and helping those struggling with addiction and mental illness. During this pandemic the need to help all of us struggling with stress has only multiplied a recent Gallup poll show that those who attend church regularly saw clear benefits to the mental health. Unfortunately over the past year many states across our nation of impose more burdensome restrictions on churches and religious organizations and they have impose on secular organizations failing to recognize that no one not only are the services provided essential they're protected by our constitution in the first amendment. We have seen pastors jailed for holding church services churches find hundreds of thousands of dollars because they believe that admitting more than ten people to a church that sees a balance in or synagogue that holds four hundred did not create a more serious health risks than many other activities the states allow like shopping at Walmart. H. B. twelve eleven remedies this to savor treatment this favor treatment of these religious organizations by sampling machine religious services is essential during a public emergency. Our nation Supreme Court may two rulings recently to uphold the free exercise clause of the first amendment protecting religious observers against unequal treatment. Justice Gorsuch wrote that even a pandemic the constitution cannot be put away and forgotten. The restrictions by for to effectively barring many from attending religious services strike at the very heart of our first amendment guarantee of religious freedom. The only explanation of treatment religious prices differently seems to be a judgment that what happens there just isn't essential as what happens at secular places this is exactly the kind of discrimination the first amendment forbids. The constitution forbids law the prohibit the free exercise of religion they guarantee not just protects the rights to be religious person holding those beliefs in Ridley and secretly it also protects the right on of those beliefs outwardly and publicly. Justice and was wrote the first amendment does not allow releases decide which rights to honor it which ones to ignore the government may not permit life sustaining operations during emergency without also permitting soul sustaining operations such as religious services to continue especially when the religious services and here to the public health guidelines required of other services. H. B. twelve level codified Arkansas statute with the Supreme Court has done on the federal level to be sure that lower courts in Arkansas will not uphold and restrictions that limit worship in Arkansas during an emergency H. B. twelve eleven provides that the governor shall not prohibit or limit religious organizations for continuing to operate or engage in religious services during disaster emergency it does not prevent the government from requiring them to comply with neutral health and safety operations there apple to all organizations and businesses. With that colleagues I appreciate your vote to protect our first met rights even in a pandemic thank you for a good vote and god bless. Represent Bentley's explain the bill would anyone like to speak against the bill. Would anyone like to speak for the bill.

Voting on the bill and the emergency clause so everyone voted. Cast about Mr Clark. By a vote of seventy five yeas to nays and six present the bill an emergency clause our past Mr Clark please read house bill twelve twenty nine. House Bill twelve twenty nine represented Bentley to amend the procedure by which the Commissioner of State land sales tax delinquent lands and to declare an emergency. Absent Bentley you're recognized explain the bill. Okay H. B. twelve twenty nine is a very simple bill are brought to me by the commission of lands office first thing it does is it takes the three options that we have in kind of renames them so we're doing a brief little up for you for those of you who aren't as familiar with that I wasn't first so when the land is sent to the Commissioner of land the Is posted for public sale and they're going to call that tax delinquent property auction the first one the second one in is it I have two years to sell this and what they call what they used to call a post auction sale or post auction parcels now the renaming that so property auctions. In this two year period the minimum offer must be all taxes fees penalties and interest due on the property at the time the offers made after two years the is number two in a what used to be negotiated sale parcel and now the con that negotiated price option so we have three different peers initial period we have a two year period where they had to pay the fines the taxes on the line after that it goes to a place where they would take just about any offer the last two options are done online now they have an online option and what this bill would do is add an online option to the first initial sale it used to be have to be held in the county due to covert the past year they've not been able to hold any options so right now of the in. They have nearly twenty thousand twenty thousand parcels that are up that need to be auctioned off because it had to hold off due to code so this really would all it would do is add an online option to that first section so and hopefully get more people bidding get more money back to accounts because of that we have not been able to have these options are counties in ms now the money that normally would have gotten so with that's pretty much it anybody have any questions we have an answering questions if anybody has on this bill. With that I appreciate a good vote thank you Senate rock what purpose you're recognized for a question. Representative merry just one question for you what does this change. The procedure other than what we have in place right now. An online auction for the first a sale so right now they have to go to the county have in the county but now that will open up to do that for sale online. As well as to them in person if they want to just add an online option hopefully open up to more people to be able to be across the state. And help our county to get more money in the end.

Ferguson Ladyman you're recognized present the bill. Thank you Mr Speaker. colleagues what this bill does is fairly simple it makes the nine eleven system function better more efficient so that's what it does you little bit history When the nine eleven rule enhancement fund was created there was not a single point of focus for nine eleven. So the rule and Hanson Fund was created and placed under Adam the Arkansas division of emergency management. In twenty nineteen. By legislation the nine eleven board was created. And that board is currently working on the new generation nine eleven system improving our nine eleven system. trying to make it better. So to make that more efficient this fund which consist of three million dollars that is allocated each year it is would be moved from Adam to the nine eleven board so that's simply what it does it would make them more efficient it would improve our nine eleven system it would help get it further out into the real communities so that if you need an ambulance out in Eastern Craighead County you know you can have communications so that's all it does I'll be happy to take any questions.

House bill twelve a one represented Mayberry to modify the procedure for collection of surcharges to fund the telecommunication telecommunications equipment fund. Representative Mayberry you're recognized explain the bill. Thank you Mr Speaker and members you might have looked at this bill and said I don't really understand what it does so that's what I'm here to explain to you this is a bill that was brought to me by Arkansas rehab services and let me first tell you what the telecommunications access program is so we kind of can gather on where we are on the page. If you are deaf or as Representative Fite has made sure in our bills that we now say hard of hearing you might have trouble communicating by telephone my father in law's death and in his kitchen he has a machine equipment that allows him to make the phone call he can speak you can talk but he can't hear what the person says back so it's kind of like closed captioning on his machine and he can read what that person is saying he does have a cell phone he can tax but kind of hard to text your doctor or your pharmacist or your insurance company or whatever else so it provides a lot of services that's what the telecommunications access program provides this bill will not change any services provided by. The tap program if you're receiving those services they do not change. That service is provided by us every time we pay our telephone bills Hey. Your fees will not change because of this bill the way it's collected how much it is nothing changes okay. So let me tell you what this bill does first of all as I mentioned we right away start out with correcting some language the bill that we just passed yesterday by Representative fight with the preferred terms we changed it to deaf and hard of hearing in the beginning there the next it'll section we just took a definition that's in another section and moved it over here to clarify so you don't have to look on two different pages to find this definition. No changes really there. The part that does change is basically to make it easier for this program to work on the government side we are making government more efficient through this bill. The bill clarifies an accounting procedure that makes to technical updates to the tax statute the accounting procedure will be changed to state that A. R. S. does not need to petition the public service commission to pause the surcharge and less program revenues equal or exceed three times the amount of expenditures for the past fiscal year this cleans up the current reference to a three year average of expenditures and if the surcharges paused program staff do not need to petition to restart the collection until they have spent half of the program revenues for that previous fiscal year again we are just trying to make it easier for our government to do what they've always done and that's what this bill does And I'd appreciate a good vote thank you.

Our broadband providers that graciously came to the table invested hours of compromise to be able to deliver this vital piece of legislation for the benefit of our constituents back home. Secondly I want to thank all the lobbyists that represent these firms for their due diligence and continual support as we work through the language and overcame all of their obstacles and finally I extend my appreciation to the members of the Senate both in committee and in the Senate as a whole unanimously supported this initiative with their votes of approval.

The bill broadens the scope to allow cities counties improvement districts and all municipalities the ability to partner with established providers to participate in the expansion of broadband services to those who currently have no service or who are under served. No one is closer to understanding the needs of the people better than leadership in our cities and counties. This is about service and service leads to economic development. We can no longer be in the bottom five across our great nation and broadband it is the new electricity. Our businesses must have and we must have cutting edge technology to be attractive to new businesses or businesses are hampered back home to the lack of dependable hi Class hi speed broadband. As we know through this pandemic we must make great strides in providing broadband for our schools our health care systems in rural Arkansas and most especially our seniors and home bound. This bill will further advance economic development opportunities reduce barriers and allow local entities to provide for their citizens. By allowing or entities back home to partner with the private sector by raising funds and investing in infrastructure we eliminate the spoken barriers to provide and meet the needs of our fellow Arkansans. Emergency clause goes hand in glove with the existing broadband emergency that each and everyone of our districts face. It is the need for broadband expansion for our students our businesses are public health entities and for the safety of all of our first responders. Happy to answer any questions.

Thank you Mr chair. This bill sent Senate bill seventy amends the law concerning county financial records and count and financial operation of the county. Section one amends Arkansas Code thirteen dash four dash three oh four concerning the retention of the county financial records also it eliminates the listing of several tops of the account ledgers as permanent records such as city accounts school accounts and so forth it strikes the cancel warrants. Lawrence is no longer issued by county treasurer's. Combines the monthly treasurer's report with the quorum court and the prosecuting attorney they are the sign. Changes the wording. Municipal court as you know it went to the District Court a my Amendment eighty. All school documents in the part of code are stricken since we no longer have treasures that are this school treasures. And that county treasures that are school transfers I see correct that section two legislation gives authority to a third party vendor issuing payroll checks and also jury checks. They ill take the county treasurer the circuit Clerk or the county Clerk in the county judge to make that decision to try to get someone outside to do issue these checks and then it has to be approved by the quorum court. It and to do that they have to have been able to save money and they'll have to follow all the guidelines section three repeals the Arkansas Code fourteen dash fifteen dash eight oh three that require required County treasurer's that had counties that had two different they had to quorum court I'm sorry to. County. I'll get this. They had to court houses in the same county and what schools was requiring them to do was to put the money in that district for their for their or school districts what is so ACT eighty three thirty four of nineteen ninety five done away with that so what all the only thing we're doing here is striking all of this it should have been done twenty five years ago so we're just cleaning up the records Amendment fourteen dash twenty four dash one twenty reduces the amount of time that a cancels a avoided check is on the books. It's always been one year but the banks have gone down to six months and so what this will do we'll just bring their their voided checks in line with what the banks are doing. Amendment fourteen dash twenty four dash one twenty one it is specifically allows the disbursement of county funds payments to the federal and state governmental entities by electronics federal government no longer will they accept anything but electronic. And so this will take care of the ordinance to to allow them to do that Amendment fourteen dashed twenty five dash one twenty five one amends the code that treasures have to have pre numbered checks for everything the issue but you can't do that with electric trance transfers so that will allow them the law to do that. Arkansas title twenty one chapter six subchapter three is amended to add an additional section when twenty one dash six dash three eleven that would allow county government offices. And departments to us accept payment through credit and debit cards and be able to such charge them a fee the fee that is costing them. This is not a mandatory but it's just authorizing them a chance to do that and bring in their office up to the twenty first century. I'll take any questions. And I appreciate a good vote represent love. Purpose of love for what purpose. You're recognized for a question okay mystique's. Since I work with the county I really do appreciate this Biel put and then when it gets down to the last portion that you were just going over it says when a payment is made through a debit card a credit card the county shall assess the sea shall assess a fee so are we making counties assess a fee when they may not necessarily have to. It It is the charge to them and you know your collectors are already doing that and they do charge a fee that they charge whatever it's costing them to do this whatever the the card holder card company charges that's what they will charge you so this is exactly what the county treasurer's or wanted to. Okay call C. the cost would come back on to the taxpayer's. If they don't do that.
