If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
We
need
to
get
through
the
meeting,
so
we
can
get
to
other
things
we
have
going
on.
If
the
secretary
would
call
the
roll.
C
A
A
We
do
have
a
quorum
and
the
floor.
Leaders
said
that
those
comments
were
out
of
line
during
a
roll
call,
but
I
think
they're
very
well
appropriated
to
the
people
that
do
deserve
them,
because
I
do
have
excellent
staff.
Thank
you.
A
We're
gonna
go
out
of
order
on
the
bills
today,
because
I
know
a
lot
of
members
got
a
lot
of
other
meetings
got
to
get
to
and
I'm
not
trying
to
favor
one
over
the
other,
but
we
are
going
to
heal
house
bill
518.
First,
if
chairman
heath,
I
think
you've
got
some
other
guests
with
you
coming
to
the
table.
If
you
all
would
introduce
yourselves.
A
We
will
a
lot
keeping
things
short
is
going
to
be
the
ones
that
win
the
most
here
today.
So
just
keep
that
in
mind
with
your
testimony.
D
Thank
you
house,
bill
518
makes
needed
changes
to
how
the
kentucky
fair
board
operates.
D
D
clarifies
the
intent
of
the
general
assembly
that
the
board
is
to
be
governed
on
an
independent
corporate
or
the
board
is
to
govern
in
an
independent
corporate
structure
without
undue
interference
from
any
department
of
the
or
the
agency
re-establishes.
The
ability
of
the
board
to
elect
its
chair,
and
vice
chair
from
its
members,
clarifies
that
the
board
will
hire
a
president
and
ceo
and
other
such
employees
as
it
deems
necessary
section.
A
F
If
you
don't
mind,
first
of
all,
it's
great
to
be
back
in
front
of
ag
committee
for
most
of
you,
who's
been
around
a
while.
This
is
I've
spent
a
lot
of
time
at
this
table
in
different
departments,
both
the
department
of
ag,
as
well
as
the
expo
center,
where
I
retired
from
I
had
people
reach
out
to
me
and
ask
me
to
work
on
this
bill
just
because
of
my
history
and
having
the
opportunity
to
work
in
both
places,
and
I
guess
we
need
to
make
some
clarifications.
F
I
think
I
have
since
this
bill
passed.
The
house
had
some
folks
reach
out
to
me
and
ask
you
know
if
we
might
could
possibly
work
on
some
changes
and-
and
I
told
them
we
could
discuss
that-
there
was
a
little
bit
of
confusion
on
who
makes
those
appointments
and
how
they're
made
some
of
these
appointments
are
structured
to
represent
entities
which,
currently,
today
the
governor
appoints
those
going
forward
on
those
ag
positions.
The
commissioner
would
appoint.
F
It
also
takes
some
of
those
at-large
appointments
from
the
governor
and
gives
to
the
commissioner
there's
other
concerns
that
have
been
brought
up,
that
you
know
we
can
talk
about
going
forward.
But,
honestly,
I
think
the
bill
itself
is
a
great
bill
as
far
as
we
have
a
a
board
in
place
and
a
ceo
of
a
facility
on
contract
with
the
state
and
this
bill
very
much
gives
them
the
opportunity
to
run
that
facility.
So
with
that
I'll
stop
and
help
answer
any
questions
we.
E
G
I
do
want
to
comment
that
when
it
comes
to
the
powers
of
the
various
officers
of
the
executive
branch,
if
they
are,
if
the
powers
are
not
enumerated
in
the
constitution,
the
general
assembly
has
the
right
to
change
those.
So
I
fully
support
this
bill
and
move
that
it
be
reported.
Favorably
motion
same
shall
pass.
A
Do
a
second
got,
a
motion
from
senator
thayer
got
a
second
from
jason
howe.
I
do
have
a
couple
of
comments
to
make.
This
is
something
that
I've
worked
on
before
and
something
very
important
to
this
commonwealth.
You
know
there's
a
in
looking
at
it
this
summer
and
brandon.
I
know
you've
been
very
close
to
it.
Steve
you
certainly
have,
but
the
things
some
members
ought
to
realize
is
that
one
thing
that
I
thought
really
stuck
out
was:
67
percent
of
the
hotel
stays
in
jefferson.
A
County
are
attributed
to
either
the
kentucky
convention
center
or
the
kick
center,
and
that's
huge
that's
why
I
know
I
understand
that
you
all
put
the
tourism
local
tourism
on
the
board
that
they
are
a
very
integral
part
of
it,
and
I
just
want
to
commend
all
of
you
all.
I
think
you've
done
a
great
job
of
structuring
an
agency
so
that
they
can
move
forward.
So
there
is
consistency
among
administrations
with
the
no
reorg
and
some
of
those
things.
A
A
Our
next
bill
today
will
be
house
bill.
236.
A
I
I
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you
board
for
hearing
this.
I
As
far
as
this
bill,
the
epa
has
asked
them
to
review
these
and
get
all
of
them
up
to
standards.
This
bill
also
does
is
self-sufficient
and
tries
to
be
self-sufficient
in
fees.
However,
the
fees
have
been
not
changed
since
the
late
80s
early
90s.
Currently
it
supplies
about
seven
percent
of
what
it
actually
cost.
I
These
fee
changes
are
kind
of
large
in
percentage,
but
they
go
from
like
five
dollars
to
twenty
five
dollars
from
fifty
dollars
up
to
a
hundred
dollars
and
as
far
as
administrating
these
a
five
dollar
fee
in
today's
world
on
hard
to
get
the
paperwork
done.
I
So
even
though
it's
a
large
percentage,
it's
not
a
huge
fee
increase
currently,
like
I
said
it
supplies
seven
percent.
With
these
fee
changes
it'll
supply,
27
percent.
Now
the
epa
does
kick
in
and
pay
part
of
theirs.
I
ask
the
question
and
receive
the
answer:
approximately
65
percent,
that
the
epa
kicks
in.
So
this
will
make
this
about
92
percent
of
carrying
its
own
weight,
but
I
would
ask
for
any
questions.
A
Have
a
second
motions
made
by
senator
feyer
and
seconded
by
senator
west
questions
on
the
bill.
Senator
givens.
E
Representative
mcpherson
great
to
see
you
friend
thanks
sir
glad
to
have
you
here
with
a
piece
of
legislation
that
we
certainly
do
need
to
be
paying
attention
to,
and
harlan
and
joe
on
the
call.
My
question
may
be
directed
to
the
two
of
you
and
I
I
can't
find
it
in
this
moment
in
looking
through
the
legislation,
but
from
a
prior
read
as
I
was
studying
the
bill.
E
There
is
substantial
change
here.
All
of
the
changes
with
which
I
agree,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
that
what
we're
doing
is
something
that
that
we
intend
to
do.
There's
a
section
in
the
language.
If
I
recall
correctly
that
says
small
home
owner
applications
of
pesticides
that
may
rise,
the
level
of
a
complaint
kda
no
longer
has
to
fill
that
complaint.
E
J
Yeah
sandra,
let
me
take
a
second
here.
I
think
that
is
well
there's
two
sections
that
talk
about
a
homeowner,
the
first
one
was
on.
H
J
And
that's
the
one
that
gives
an
exemption
for
homeowners
to
use
like
non-restricted
products
on
their
own
property
and
in
their
own
home
there
was
a.
There
was
a
let's
see,
that's
on
page
16
at
the
bottom.
That's
the
the
first
thing
that
talks
about
homeowners,
there's
a
there's:
an
exemption
for
private
applicators
farmers
applying
non-restrictive
pesticides,
there's
a
an
exemption
for
licensing
for
homeowners,
applying
pesticides
to
their
own
lawns,
but
we
added
a
an
exemption
for
homeowners,
applying
household
household
pest
products
in
their
own
homes.
J
J
Yes,
that
is
on
page
15,
the
majority
of
it
section
9
of
the
bill,
and
that
lays
out
a
that
lays
out
a
little
bit
of
a
cleaner
road
map
for
us
to
address
claims
of
pesticide
misuse
and
it
it
would.
It
only
applies
to
folks
who
are
required
to
have
a
license
by
this
chapter,
so
that
would
mean
that
homeowners,
homeowners
would
were
not
required
to
have
a
license
on
their
own
property.
J
E
Good,
yes,
that
that
that
was
what
I
needed
to
see,
and
I
have
no
questions
after
rereading
it,
I
think
it
does
achieve
the
intent.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Senator
caslin.
L
This
would
be
a
question
I
guess
probably
directed
at
joe
on
the
zoom
call
so
and
then
just
to
make
sure
I
understood
this
correctly.
So
some
of
the
new
regulatory
requirements
that
are
in
this
bill
were
asked
upon
you
all
from
the
federal
epa
or
the
state
epa.
K
For
the
first
time
in
in
the
history
of
the
legislation,
the
epa
required
all
the
state
agencies
kda
and
its
counterparts
in
the
other
49
to
review
the
plans
that
were
filed
decades
ago.
That
showed
how
kentucky
met
all
the
minimum
federal
objectives
due
to
an
act
of
the
congress.
We
had
to
redo
this
plan,
and
so
it
was
in
the
course
of
doing
that
comprehensive
review
of
our
existing
program
and
statutes.
K
We
identified
some
places
where
the
statutes
didn't
adequately
describe
the
program
as
as
it
exists
today,
and
so
that
was
kind
of
the
prompt
for
the
exercise
that
generated
this
bill.
I
don't
think,
though,
that
any
of
our
that
the
existing
legislation
is
out
of
compliance
with
what
federal
law
requires,
and
harlan
may
correct
me
on
that.
K
But
this
certainly
does
modernize
the
statutes
and
create
a
more
accurate
reflection
of
the
program
we
actually
run
so
that
anyone,
whether
it's
the
epa
or
a
taxpayer
in
kentucky,
could
open
up
the
statutes
and
get
a
more
accurate
read
on
what
exactly
the
program
consists
of.
Did.
I
answer
your
question,
sir.
M
Thank
you,
gentlemen.
My
question
is
licensure
and
how
our
licensure
complied
with
federal
law
and
are
we
lessening
anything?
I
see
the
deletion
of
some
language
for
certifications
and
things
of
that
nature,
and
you
know
I'm
a
former
state
prosecutor
and
we
can't
you
know.
Sometimes
we
are
more
stringent
than
you
can
be,
but
are
we
giving
up
anything
or
lessening
anything
in
this
program
or
does
our
newly
developed
protocol
anticipate
any
major
changes
of
lessening
requirements
for
licensure.
J
I
think
the
two
sections
that
you're
looking
at
that
were
deleted.
They
they
applied
to
lawn
services
and
golf
courses,
and
the
majority
of
those
two
sections
in
the
statute
read
more
like
a
regulation
because
they
dealt
mainly
with
the
size
of
lawn
markers
and
the
and
the
size,
the
lettering
on
those
signs.
J
And
so
we
felt
like
that.
Those
things
didn't
didn't
really
rise
to
the
level
of
a
of
a
of
a
statute.
J
That's
part
of
your
question
you
may
have
to
refresh
me
on
the
other
part.
Oh
let
me
let
me
point
this
one
out.
One
thing
that
happened
to
us
last
spring
is
we.
We
ran
into
a
situation
where
social
distancing
issues
did
not
allow
us
to
enforce
a
more
stringent
supervision.
J
So
this
federal
standard
in
the
federal
law
for
supervision
of
unlicensed
trainees
is
that
it
can
be
done
remotely
by
electronic
means
telephone
video
chat.
As
long
as
as
long
as
this,
the
supervisor
is
readily
available,
they
can
use
those
means
to
communicate
with
the
trainee,
so
in.
In
that
instance,
we
adopted
that
standard
to
get
us
through
the
spring
season
for
our
for
our
lawn
folks
and
and
other
other
pesticide
applicators.
N
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I've
got
a
question
on
page
11.
N
Number
five:
the
department
shall
issue
non-commercial
applicator
licenses
to
qualifying
prison
inmates
and
other
incarcerated
persons
who
are
who
are
or
will
be
engaged
in
the
application
of
pesticides
under
the
direction
of
the
department
of
corrections.
Fees
for
these
persons
shall
be
waived
by
the
department.
N
My
question
is:
when
these
prison
inmates
are
released,
does
this
license
stay
with
them,
or
would
they
have
to
get
a
different
license
at
that.
J
Point
I'll
answer
that
one
because
it
describes
it
as
a
non-commercial
applicator
license.
The
those
licenses
by
definition,
are
only
tied
to
applying
pesticides
on
property,
managed
or
owned
by
your
employer.
J
So
in
that,
in
this
instance,
they
would
only
be
able
to
they're
only
licensed
to
apply
pesticides
on
department
of
corrections,
property,
okay,
thank
you
and-
and
that
would
not
allow
them
to
go
out
and
work.
They
would
have
to
come
once
they
were
released.
They
would
have
to
take
the
regular
examination
for
a
commercial
license.
E
Givens,
mr
chairman,
thank
you
very
very
quickly
to
the
folks
from
kda
that
are
on
the
call
verify
for
me.
If
I
am
a
farmer-
and
I
am
applying
and
using
on
my
farm
pesticides
that
are
not
restricted
use,
these
are
not
restricted
use
products
glyphosate,
those
sorts
of
things
do
I
have
to
have
a
license
to
apply
those
and
do
the
people
under
me
that
are
that
I
employ
have
to
have
a
license
to
apply.
E
J
Yes,
I
turned
from
the
page.
I
think
I
think
that
is
the
that's
the
paragraph
above
the
one
I
previously
mentioned,
but
I
turned
the
page,
so
I've
got
to
get
back
to
it.
Let's
see,
okay,
if,
if
you'll
take
a
look
on
page
16
and
section
10
of
the
bill
you
you'll
see
subsection,
one
of
that
section
is
relates
to
the
license.
The
the
the
license
and
registration
requirements
for
shall
not
apply
to
any
farmer
owner
of
ground
equipment.
J
A
Senator
gibbons
only
comment
I
might
make
is
that
there
are
federal
regulations
now
just
to
buy
non-restricted
use
pesticides
like
glyphosate
and
gramoxone
that
you
now,
because
I
just
took
my
certification
last
week
in
order
to
buy
those
any
other
questions.
Now
we've
got
a
motion
on
the
bill.
The
secretary
called
the
roll.
L
Time,
I'm
going
to
vote
no,
I'm
going
to
continue
to
study
this
and
with
utmost
respect
to
the
bill
sponsors
and
as
somebody
from
the
ag
sector
on
the
on
the
commercial
and
farm
side.
Both
I
want
to
kind
of
just
be
more
comfortable
with
this
and
might
change
my
mind
when
I
get
to
the
floor,
but
I
want
to
do
a
little
more
reading.
Thank
you.
A
Motion
passes
seven
eyes
and
one
knee.
A
Thank
you
for
your
board
representative
fearson.
Thank
you
for
being
here
today,
chairman
heath.
Thank
you.
Next
bill
will
be
a
house
bill
229,
and
we
do
have
a
somebody
that
stepped
in
representative
miles.
What.
A
O
A
A
Yes,
we
can
all
right.
I
would
like
you
all
very
much
before
we
get
started,
I'd
like
to
remind
all
members,
there's
a
local
mandate
and
corrections
impact
that
are
in
your
folders
on
this
bill.
A
O
H
O
Much
the
I
like
to
tell
everybody:
this
is
a
small
bill
with
a
big
impact,
we're
simply
changing
the
definition
for
property,
as
it
relates
to
the
purpose
of
criminal
damage
to
property.
Offenses
we're
striking
out
the
word
cattle
and
we're
adding
in
the
word
livestock,
as
defined
in
krs
150.010.
G
This
is
an
excellent
bill
and
I
would
motion
same
shall
pass.
A
You
have
a
second
got,
two
or
three

To
commend
my
house
counterpart
on
this
legislation,
you
know
back
in
2017
sent
bill
139
designated
horses
livestock
across
the
board,
and
I
don't
know
how
we
left
this
out,
but
matt.
We
appreciate
it
and
I
think
it's
very
important,
very
timely
and-
and
everybody
should
take
note
of
this
legislation.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.

P
Well,
I
you
know
I
we
can
talk
about
cannabinoids
as
a
pharmaceutical
and
that
this
really
expands
the
ability
to
research
and
better
deliver
products
to
folks
who
have
epilepsy
or
ms.
P
A
P
That
is
correct.
I
had
a
conversation
with
kentucky
state
police.
This
morning.
They
were
concerned
about
certain
delta,
nine
and
delta,
eight
tetrahydro
cannabinoids
cannabidiols,
and
we
probably
are
able
to
get
to
the
same
protections
that
they're
concerned
about
by
better
defining
what
laboratories
are.
A

Most
