A
A
E
A
So
those
of
you
that
were
here
last
year,
representative
gravis,
had
introduced
a
bill
house
bill
593
that
basically
gave
an
outline
for
what
was
in
a
cbd
oil
bottle
so
that
we
could
standardize
the
industry
and
that
bill
passed
this
committee.
It
passed
the
house
and
that's
as
far
as
it
got.
A
So
I
was
a
primary
co-sponsor
on
that
bill
and
the
cabinet
for
health
and
family
services
took
the
language
of
the
bill
and
incorporated
most
of
that
into
statute,
and
it's
already
in
place.
There
was
one
thing
they
were
not
able
to
do
and
that
was
to
require
a
qr
code
to
go
on
the
bottle
so
that
it
could.
Anyone
who
wanted
to
could
scan
that
code
and
find
out
you
know
where
it
was
grown
and
and
some
other
information
on
it.
So
what
three?
A
What
house
bill
325
about
is
about
today
is
just
to
allow
for
that
qr
code
or
require
that
qr
code.
E
Is
there
does
any
representatives
have
any
questions
or
any
discussion
go
ahead?.
F
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you
for
bringing
this,
I
think
as
much
clarification
we
can
get
for
our
public
and
our
friends
at
home,
all
the
better.
Can
you
remind
me
and
and
the
and
the
folks
at
home
what
is
the
thc
level
of
the
cannabidiol
oil.

A
E
A
A
Thank
you,
representative
reed,
and
I
have
something
to
read
but
I'll.
Let
you
identify
yourself
for
the
record.
A
So
if
the
members
will
notice
that
the
chairs
posted
house,
simple
resolutions,
3
15,
16,
17,
18,
19,
20
and
45
and
they're
all
listed
on
a
piece
of
paper
in
your
folder,
so
at
the
end
of
the
consideration
of
these
bills
on
the
agenda,
I'll
ask
for
a
motion
in
a
second
to
report,
those
resolutions
with
favorable
expression
and
we'll
take
a
roll
call
on
the
resolutions
as
a
whole.
A
That
way,
we
can
just
vote
all
of
them
at
one
time
and
then,
if
anyone
would
like
to
cast
a
no
vote
on
any
of
the
revolution
resolutions
and
just
communicate
that
with
the
committee
assistant.
Otherwise
all
members
present
at
today's
meeting
will
be
reflecting
a
voting.
Yes
on
the
committee
reports
for
each
of
the
resolutions.
D
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
This
is
our
the
general
assembly.
This
is
our
annual
simple
resolutions
acknowledging
national
days
in
agriculture
through
various
entities,
pull.
D
D
D
I
Yes,
of
course,
hello
everyone.
It
is
an
honor
to
be
speaking
with
you
all
today.
On
behalf
of
the
kentucky
ffa
association,
I
am
mallory
white,
serving
as
the
2020-2021
kentucky
state
ffa
president,
I'm
from
sturgis
kentucky
in
union
county,
and
I
couldn't
be
more
grateful
and
humbled
to
serve
both
kentucky
ffa
members
and
kentucky
agriculture.
This
year,
I've
grown
up
on
my
family's
row
crop
and
beef
cattle
farm,
so
agriculture
has
always
been
a
big
part
of
my
life.
I
I
remember
sitting
in
the
union
county
high
school
auditorium
at
my
very
first
ffa
meeting
and
admiring
the
chapter
president
as
she
stood
confidently
behind
a
podium
and
tapped
a
gavel
with
assertion
instantly.
I
was
hooked,
I'm
not
sure
if
it
was
the
pride
I
felt
while
answering
the
question
ffa
members.
Why
are
we
here
with
all
of
my
peers
or
if
it
was
the
rush
of
joy?
I
felt
zipping
up
a
blue
corduroy
jacket
for
the
very
first
time,
but
I
knew
that
I
had
found
my
place
a
place.
I
I
quickly
became
an
ffa
member
eager
to
participate
in
as
many
contests
as
I
could
convince
my
advisors
to
sign
me
up
for
and
to
take
advantage
of
every
single
opportunity
possible
so
that
I
could
build
a
solid
network
of
both
my
peers
and
agricultural
professionals,
whom
I
admired
throughout
the
bluegrass
and
I'm
happy
to
say
that
I
did
just
that.
The
people
who
I
met
throughout
my
ffa
journey
have
become
some
of
my
closest
friends,
my
biggest
role
models
and
my
sincerest
supporters.
I
I
I
We
know
that
kentucky's
farmers
haven't
ceased
to
provide
for
us,
so
we
are
continuing
to
advocate
for
them
through
any
adversity
we
have
encountered.
We
have
not
lost
sight
of
our
purpose,
although
our
methods
may
have
changed
after
zipping
up
a
corduroy
jacket
and
this
year
adjusting
my
mask
more
times
than
I
can
count,
I'm
confident
in
telling
you
that
ffa
truly
fulfills
its
mission
to
make
a
positive
difference
in
the
lives
of
its
members,
through
premier
leadership,
personal
growth
and
career
success
through
agricultural
education.
I
Your
continued
and
purposeful
efforts
in
preserving
and
advancing
kentucky
agriculture
make
us
proud
to
say
the
pledge
of
allegiance
at
meetings
with
a
blue
jacket
on
our
backs.
Thank
you
for
acknowledging
not
only
how
important
kentucky
agriculture
is,
but
also
how
important
its
future
is.
Kentucky
ffa
members
are
the
future
leaders
of
this
industry
and
each
and
every
one
of
you
have
left
us
with
big
shoes
to
fill.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
C
J
J
Well,
first
off,
if
your
last
name's
white
and
you're
from
union
county,
I
suspect
I
know
your
roots,
but
but
besides
that
my
sophomore
year
in
high
school,
of
course
I
was
in
the
ffa
chapter
and
there
was
a
young
lady
who
joined
the
ffa
chapter
as
a
freshman
that
year
she
was
the
first
young
lady
to
ever
be
a
member
of
the
taylorsville
chapter
of
ffa,
my
senior
year
in
77.
I
was
chapter
president
and
the
very
next
year
she
was
chapter
president.
J
Could
you
share
a
little
bit
about
how
ffa
is
open
to
young
ladies
and
how
you
feel
like
they
contribute,
and
you
know
typically
people
think
of
agriculture
as
being
a
male
dominated
industry.
But
could
you
share
your
insight
a
little
bit
about
the
role
of
how
you
see
yourself
and
other
young?
Ladies
in
the
agricultural
field,
going
forward.
I
Yes,
sir,
absolutely
if
you
look
at
our
state
officer
team
this
year,
actually
it's
comprised
of
10
young
women
and
two
young
men,
so
our
officer
team
is
female,
dominated
while
the
industry
may
seem
to
be
male
dominated
and
in
kentucky
ffa
we
actually
have
a
higher
percentage
of
members
who
are
female
than
male
young.
Ladies
I've
never
once
felt
excluded
in
this
organization.
I
Ffa
100
supports
women
in
agriculture
and
stem
and
advocates
you
know
for
them.
Taking
positions,
officer
roles
in
the
organization,
obviously
and
furthering
their
careers
in
agriculture
and
is
supportive
and
truly
provides
opportunities
for
them
to
compete,
to
hold
leadership
positions
and
to
grow
both
their
personal
and
professional
selves.
D
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Thank
you
committee
for
making
the
state
president
feel
welcome.
Mallory.
I
hope
you
have
a
wonderful
year
as
a
pass
state
ffa
president
to
you,
I
served
in
99
and
2000.
I
don't
think
he
was
born
yet
so
I'm
officially
a
has-been.
You
know
what
that
term
means
you're
fixing
to
experience
it
next
year,
but
I'm
officially
a
has
been,
but
you
all
have
a
wonderful
year.
I
know
this
this
year
has
some
circumstances
that
you
are
overcoming
like
you.
D
D
D
A
We'll
proceed
to
vote
then,
if
there's
no
question
or
comment
any
questions
about
my
earlier
statement,
it's
the
first
time,
we've
done
it
this
way.
So
all
right,
we'll
call
the
room
yeah.
I
guess
we
need
a
motion
in
a
second,
so
representative,
hart
has
the
motion
and
representative
pratt
has
a
second
thank
you
for
keeping
us
in
order.
C
C
C
C
D
F
J
Miss
church,
I
can
briefly
explain
my
vote.
Yes,
mr
chairman
representative
reid,
thank
you
for
bringing
these
resolutions
this
year.
I
could
comment
on
all
these
commodity
organizations,
but
you
know
last
week
and
the
week
before
we
we
suffered
some
very
severe
weather
here
in
kentucky
and
and
we
acknowledged
our
transportation
workers
rightfully
so
our
first
responders
are
now,
but
the
farmers
who
provide
the
food
and
fiber
for
us
in
the
world.
They
were
out
there
in
those
elements
taking
care
of
those
animals.
J
K
Thank
you,
chairman,
steve
kelly,
currently,
contract
lobbyist.
A
D
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
The
committee
sub
just
simply
takes
out
the
sir
trial
jobs
and
there's
a
technical
change
in
there.
Hb
518,
sponsored
by
our
chairman
chairman
heath
and
myself,
is
the
provisions
of
this
bill
uniquely
addresses
the
necessity
for
operating
the
kentucky
state
fair
board
in
an
independent,
corporate-like
manner,
while
incorporating
legislative
and
executive
branch
oversight.
A
We
do
have
some
questions
representative
raymond.
H
Hi,
thank
you
really.
Could
you
explain
to
me
the
thinking
and
bringing
this
I'm
wondering,
what's
broken
with
the
state,
fair
board
that
needs
fixing
and
what
would
look
different
in
a
couple
of
years,
when
the
majority
of
members
were
appointed
by
the
commission,
agriculture
rather
than
the
governor.
K
As
I
stated
first
of
all
chairman
thanks
for
allowing
me
to
be
here
for
the
members
on
this
committee,
that's
been
around
for
a
while.
I
probably
am
not
a
stranger,
but
as
I
look
around
there's
a
lot
of
new
members
here,
how
I
got
involved
with
this
bill
before
I
answer
your
question
just
a
background.
K
After
that
I
actually
went
to
work
at
the
fair
board
as
an
executive
director.
So
I've
kind
of
seen
this
from
all
angles,
but
I
was
brought
in
to
work
on
this
bill,
basically
by
some
former
board
members
and
and
to
I
guess,
put
my
input
in
on
what
I
saw
during
that
time,
as
both
the
department
of
ag
as
a
sitting
member
on
the
board.
K
As
an
employee
of
the
fair
board,
and
and
this
is
really
a
result
of
some
of
the
issues
that
we've
seen
happen
there-
it's
not
at
a
particular
administration
by
no
means
it's
not
this
one,
I
mean
I
worked
under,
I
retired
under
the
previous
one
because
of
some
of
these
very
issues,
it's
just
difficult
to
do
business.
So,
as
we
looked
at
this
for
one
we
wanted
to
keep
the
ag
influence.
K
There
I
mean
ag
has
always
been
a
very
prominent
influence
with
the
especially
the
fairgrounds
that
brings
in
the
majority
of
their
revenue
or
the
ag
programs
or
the
ag
events
that
happen
there
that
are
produced
by
the
fair
board.
That's
obviously
the
state
fair,
the
world
championship
horse
show
north
american
and
the
farm
machinery
show
so
part
of
what
the
the
driving
force
of
this
bill
was.
Is
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
kept
that
ag
influence
at
the
facility?
K
K
You
have
a
board
in
place
and
a
ceo
in
place
that
needs
to
be
allowed
to
make
some
of
the
decisions.
This
bill
actually
tries
to
take
some
of
that
politics
out.
It
divides
the
appointments
with
both
the
governor's
office
and
the
commissioner
of
ag,
but
it
also
clarifies
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
the
authorities
that
that
board
and
the
ceo
that
runs
that
facility
should
have
so
to
answer
your
question,
we
felt
like
that.
Some
of
these
things
did
need
to
be
addressed.
K
I
mean
that's
the
purpose
of
the
bill,
which
is
what's
your
question.
Why
do
we
need
to
fix
something
that
you
didn't
feel
was
broken?
We
felt
there
was
some
issues.
We
felt
that
there's
too
much
politics
involved.
We
wanted
to
take
some
of
that
out.
We
also
felt
that
it
was
important
and
you
can
see
in
some
of
the
changes
that
we
wanted.
K
A
member
of
both
the
house
and
the
senate
have
a
seat
on
this
board,
so
they
can
see
firsthand
what,
including
you
know,
what
the
board
actually
is
included
in
or
not
included
in
currently.
So
we
felt
like
that
was
another
important
change
that
the
general
assembly
would
have
a
member
of
each
chamber
on
there
to
see
firsthand
how
things
are
being
ran.
G
Your
mic
on,
I
just
want
to
follow
up
on
the
comments
that
you
just
made
about
taking
the
politics
out
of
this
you're,
not
taking
it
out
of
this.
What
you're
doing
you're
stripping
the
governor
of
responsibilities
that
all
governors
previous
had
in
terms
of
appointing
this
board,
and
yet
you're
saying
you
still
want
the
president
of
the
senate
to
be
an
ex-officio
member
and
the
speaker
of
the
house
to
be
an
ex-official
member.
G
That's
politics,
that's
playing
politics,
and
I
understand
you
know
I'm
a
little
bit
frustrated
because
we
see
I'm
in
committee
state
government,
this
committee,
I'm
seeing
what's
happening,
and
the
public
knows
what's
happening-
is
that
the
governor's
powers
are
trying
to
be
stripped,
are
being
stripped
because
it's
a
political
maneuver
and
the
people
of
this
commonwealth
voted
for
him
and
we've
never
had
this
kind
of
stripping
the
power
of
the
executive
branch
of
government,
and
I
I'm
just
very
disappointed
in
in
in
how
we
are
proceeding
with
these
measures.
Thank
you.
A
A
Each
year
the
facility
generates
over
40
million
dollars
in
tax
revenue
to
state
and
local
government.
The
vast
majority
going
to
kentucky
state
government,
two-thirds
of
the
hotel
tax
collected
in
louisville
convention
and
visitors
bureau,
is
attributed
to
events
at
the
state,
fair
facilities
annually,
the
state
fair
generates
50
million
dollars
in
operating
revenue
and
according
to
an
article
in
in
the
courier
journal
in
january,
15
of
2020
of
the
top
15
events
held
in
louisville
14
were
held
at
the
state,
fair
board
properties.
A
This
is
a
50
million
dollar
industry.
It
needs
to
be
run
like
a
business
and
it's
not
just
this
administration.
It
was
previous
administrations.
You
can
imagine
the
frustration
of
a
chief
executive
officer
whenever
four
years
a
new
person
comes
in
and
says.
Well,
I
don't
know
what
y'all
been
doing
in
the
past,
but
this
is
what
we're
going
to
do
in
the
future
and
it
breaks
that
continuity
and
it
disrupts
business
as
usual.
So
that
needs
to
go
away
and
that's
that's
what
this
bill
does
and
I'll
pass
it
back
to
you
guys.
D
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
appreciate
those
remarks
and
we
are
we're
not
stripping
the
executive
branch
of
responsibilities.
We're
actually
diversifying
the
commissioner
of
agriculture
is
an
executive
officer,
a
constitutional
officer
of
this
commonwealth.
G
I
think
you
just
made
the
argument,
mr
chairman,
that
it
has
not
been
broken
with
the
success
that
we've
had
over
a
period
of
time.
So
your
argument
really
fits
what
I
was
saying
in
terms
of
having
the
chief
executive
officer,
who
is
the
governor
of
the
commonwealth
and
that
in
the
past,
as
well
as
right
now
that
over
a
period
of
time,
they
have
been
very
successful
in
terms
of
attracting
people
into
the
fairgrounds
and
the
participation
of
different
organizations
that
have
come
through
and
been
involved
with
the
fairgrounds.
G

Thank
you,
gentlemen.
I
will
agree.
This
is
necessary.
I'm
gonna
tell
you
what's
gonna
say
for
those
of
you
who
went
to
the
fair
this
year
when
we
had
our
committee
meeting
there,
the
brand
new,
what
the
chairman
of
the
fair
board
on
his
own
two
months
on
the
job,
without
so
much
as
say
input
from
any
of
the
fair
board.
Members
close
the
fair
board
down,
would
not
answer
my
questions
and
I
ask
him
a
direct
question:
why
is
the
kentucky?
Why
are
we
closed
down
but
the
water
park?
E
Next
door
is
going
to
be
open
on
seven
acres
with
2
600
people,
and
you
allow
zero
people
here
at
the
state
fair
and
he
got
up
and
left
the
room.
That's
why
we
need
to
keep
the
politics
out
of
this.
We
need
people
that
run
businesses,
making
a
decision
not
somebody's
appointed
by
somebody
and
doing
no
bidding.
Thank
you,
gentlemen.
L
Thank
you
so
doing
my
my
math
here.
So
I
see
that
we're
we're
removing
the
governor
and
we're
taking
him
down
from
10
appointees
to
three,
and
I
guess
the
argument
of
we're
wanting
to
take
the
politics
out
of
it.
We
don't
want
somebody
being
in
control,
who
is
elected.
L
Every
four
years
would
hold
more
merit
if
you
were
switching
it
to
somebody
who
also
is
elected
or
is
not
also
elected
every
four
years
by
doing
it
from
the
governor
to
the
commissioner
of
agriculture,
like
that's,
that's
trading
apples
for
apples
instead
of
apples
for
oranges.
So
I
guess
that's
where
my
confusion
is
coming
in.
K
You
are
correct
that
this
would
allow
the
commissioner
of
ag
to
have
well
at
large
members,
only
one
more
appointee
than
the
than
the
governor,
and
that
goes
back
to
my
original
statement
myself
and
the
people
members
who
worked
on
this
legislation.
Former
board
members
all
felt
that
agriculture
influence
at
that
facility
was
most
important
to
us
and-
and
we
hope
the
members
of
this
committee
agree
with
us
that
that
agriculture
should
be
kept
in
focus
at
that.
