All right, members, members and members elect, if you would take a look at these screens, make sure that you're, that it correctly reflects what you picked, and we will take a 5-minute recess. We'll be back in 5 minutes. The House organizational meeting will stand in recess. Yeah. You, uh, Gina has got the forms, Gen, yeah. Yes, sir. legislate counsel. for. on the regular members, not all, but they can have 2. OK. Yeah. Now legislate a it says Cooper County on the community. It doesn't have to talk. 2. Everybody else is out. If they. Oh OK. It implies. Gina. Right, sorry about that. I want you, it's fine. It's like the NFL. I started to go off. I started to go, you're off the blacked out. hey, if you got fever, get out, you got fever, get on, man, but I should be able to get on AMC. I mean you're. You're picking the top. Yeah. You, I mean, you should be, you should be fine. I guess, I mean, I don't, I mean. she know she know I'm I'm OK. You good? The house will come to order. In accordance with House Rules 54, 80 and 81. We now begin the process of membership selections for the House Budget Committee, Arkansas Legislative Council and the Legislative joint auditing Committee. Members, uh, the parliamentarian will explain some additional rules that are in place related to these. Committees One thing that, uh, I know came up two years ago. At some point, there may be members that will pass on a selection because they are already, for example, on ALC by virtue of certain positions, such as the majority leader. Uh Speaker, etc. And so it's understandable that they would pass if that's their only option, but it's, if you have an option, because as we get down through this, there's gonna, you're probably gonna be selecting an alternate position on certain committees. We really need to be able to fill those. And so unless you just have no option, no viable option available to you if you would, go ahead and select an alternate selection. And now I recognize the parliamentarian to discuss some additional rules. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Uh, just to not, not be, uh, repetitive, but just to, to go back over what the speaker, uh, alluded to, uh, this, these three joint committees are we look to house rules 54, 80, and 81. I'll go through briefly, we're gonna have the similar screens, the larger voting screens will have broken down by each district, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th. The smaller screens here in front of you will have the running. Running total for each, um. Committee To get into joint budget Committee, we take 6 members and 2 alternates per caucus. So you'll see on the 2nd district screen up there. There's 6 los plus 2 alternates. Those alternates, your alternate 1 and 2 for every member of budget. So the 6, and, and representative Chairman Gene can, can, can reinforce this alternate 1, alternate 2 when you get into the process, you're an alternate for everybody. Arkansas Legislative Council, 5 members per caucus, and one in 1st and 2nd alternates. So when you select, you won't just say, I want to be first alternate. First slot you'll want to pick to be alternate for a specific person because in counsel and audit, you're an alternate for that specific member. We're going to dive in here's, here's where it gets a little, little, uh, more in the weeds if you will. Legislative council pursuant to Rule 80, there can be no more than 2 members of each caucus from the same county. Doesn't affect, doesn't affect a tremendous amount, but some of the counties that fall into multiple congressional districts. Uh, we'll pick on white is the one I use. There are several members in white, but some are in first, some are in 2nd, so you could have more members from White County that as long as they fall in the different Congressional caucus districts. Moving on to audit. Similar scenario, we have 5 members, 1st and 2nd alternate, you're picking a specific alternate position. For that person. However, Rule 81, which deals with joint legislative joint AD. differs and it says no more than 2 members per county. that committee, it doesn't break it down by caucus. It's a slightly, uh, different verbiage. Uh, for each of those, so you're a limit of 2. Two from Pulaski County, 2 from Benton County, 2 from Washington County, any of the counties on leg audit. The echo, uh, something the speaker said. If you take a position on legislative council, let's say you get one of the 5 positions. When it comes time when we come back through, you're encouraged to take an alternate position in audit. Don't take a main position in council and then take an alternate position in council. That make sense? OK. The going back and I skipped over something I need to say, the two county rule and council, and also in joint all the only effects the primary member. It does not affect the alternate, so you can, you can be alternate 1st, 2nd, on each one of those and not have to worry about the county rule. It just pertains to the first. position. Again, we're gonna continue this selection until we get all positions filled. And it will, it'll, we'll probably go through the order probably close to twice and looking back in previous years, we got through it because people pass, there are gonna be people that have positions on these, uh, by nature of their positions. Uh, Speaker Budget chair, council chair, those will have some ex officio depending on the committee. So a lot of those will pass as we go forward, but fill those up. Also, we will entertain trades until the close of business. On, uh, today for those committees, but again, it's got to be within your caucus. Um Representative Gazaway can't trade with Representative Perry two different caucuses. Are we ready to proceed? Mr. Speaker. You ready to proceed? All right. We'll be just, we'll, we'll handle it in similar. So how we just finished that. We'll start with our number one in seniority from the 2nd district.
