to get you guys from Fort Smith a better watch, I think. so members i'm i'm much like representative pilkerton i'm just here to learn i don't know much about what we do in here but we'll figure it out as we go um all sponsors of bills that have bills in this committee we sent an email out last week and asked you to respond to the staff
on when you would like to run those bills we will not have another meeting going forward until three or more sponsors let us know that they want to run a bill we're going to run a very efficient committee. There's no reason to drag 20 of you and the crowd to this room unless there's going to be business to be held at hand. We got very little responses back on those emails. So if you would, if you still can find that email in your box, go back and answer it if you have a bill in this committee so that we know when to call a committee meeting going forward.

Representative Allen, you have a question? Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In the truth, we can't run a bill until we get to find a physical impact statement? On certain bills, yes. Okay, so if I wanted to
Representative Jeff Wardlaw

run my bill, I could run it? If your bill doesn't require a physical impact, yes. But it does. Do you have the bill, the physical impact back? No, but I can give you one. We need the official physical impact back first. All right, members, I appreciate you guys coming. I appreciate you organizing. We have a lot of agencies that will answer to us in this committee.
Familiarize yourself with those agencies and be ready to go to work. Right now, I can't tell you when our next committee meeting is. I don't have enough responses to do that, but be watching for the announcements on the floor, and we'll be responding out to emails to the committee. Representative Graham,
