A
Here
in
the
room,
we
do
have
a
quorum
and
are
duly
constituted
to
proceed
with
our
business.
Today
I
do
have
an
announcement
really
quick.
We
don't
have
any
new
members
of
the
committee
this
year,
but
we
do
have
an
intern
who
will
be
working
with
the
committee
this
session,
mr
caleb
westfall,
if
you
all
would
please
make
him
feel
welcome.
A
Seeing
none
we'll
proceed
with
our
business.
I
feel
like
the
former
gentleman
from
knox
this
morning,
our
good
friend
jimmy
stewart
he'd
like
to
call
the
bills
in
reverse
order,
and
that's
what
I'm
going
to
do
today.
So
if,
if
representative
elliott
would
come
forward
with
house
bill
246,
you
can
just
introduce
yourself
for
the
record.
Then
you
may
proceed
with
your
testimony
representative.
F
F
And
mr
chairman
house,
bill
246
is
a
bill
related
to
public
administrators,
which
I
know
you've
been
a
sponsor
of
in
the
past.
What
this
bill
would
do
is
it
would
remove
the
requirement
that,
in
those
counties
where
there's
no
public
administrator
or
a
guardian,
that
the
district
court
at
this
time
has
to
appoint
the
sheriff.
F
This
would
change
that
language
to
give
the
court
the
discretion
to
appointed
administrator
and
that
that
appointment
could
be
the
the
appointee
could
deny
or
say
I
can't
do
it.
The
other
part
of
this
is
that
we
just
modernize
some
of
the
language
which,
as
you
can
tell,
is
fairly
antiquated.
C
C
C
C
A
A
This
time
I'm
going
to
ask
our
co-chair
representative
fraser
gordon
to
please
come
to
the
chair.
As
I
vacate
to
present
house
bill,
212.
A
E
G
A
Madam
chair
house,
bill
212
is
a
relatively
simple
piece
of
legislation.
What
I
will
say
about
it
is:
is
it
is
kind
of
a
fix
to
a
fix
that
was
created
by
the
delay
of
the
census
numbers
like
in
2021
right
before
the
filing
deadline
for
bills.
Last
year,
the
magistrates
association
was
made
aware
that
the
census
data
was
going
to
be
delayed
by
several
months
because
of
the
coveted
pandemic.
A
What
that
did
was
potentially
someone
could
have
won
a
primary
for
the
the
office
of
magistrate
in
a
county
and
with
the
redistricting
might
not
have
been
eligible
to
run
in
the
november
election
in
the
general
election.
So
what
this
bill
does?
Is
this
pushes
it
back
until
summer
of
next
year
to
remedy
that
issue
brought
to
us
by
the
secretary
of
state.
C
H
A
H
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
josh
branson
kentucky
state
representative
for
the
83rd
district
che
ritter
with
the
kentucky
department
of
education.
Thank
you
all
for
the
opportunity
to
be
here
today
to
discuss
house
bill.
33
house
bill
33
is
an
expanded
jurisdiction
bill.
This
will
probably
look
familiar
to
every
single
one
of
you
just
to
give
you
a
brief
history
on
the
bill.
H
It
came
through
the
house
in
2020,
like
many
bills,
that
year
got
through
the
house
passed
overwhelmingly
got
into
the
senate
covet
hit
and
was
not
able
to
get
through
the
senate
last
session
passed.
The
house
97-0
simply
ran
out
of
time
once
we
got
into
the
senate,
so
house
bill
33.
Currently,
local
governments
are
responsible
for
the
examination,
the
approval
and
the
disapproval
of
plans,
specifications
for
construction
projects
up
to
specific
sizes
and
types
as
defined
in
statute,
one
building
category
that
is
currently
outside
of
their
review,
jurisdiction,
sorry,
school
facilities.
H
The
purpose
of
house
bill
33
is
to
allow
local
governments
to
perform
plan
review
inspection
and
have
jurisdiction
over
enforcement
responsibilities
for
school
construction
projects
when
the
local
government
and
the
department
of
housing
and
building
construction
agree
in
writing.
So
I
just
want
to
emphasize.
This
is
only
with
written
agreement
from
hbc.
H
The
purpose
of
this
bill
is
to
relieve
some
of
the
burden
on
hvc
and
the
backlog
for
state
plan
review
and
allow
local
governments,
where
appropriate
and
with
qualified
personnel,
to
get
those
projects
moving
and
approved
throughout
this
process.
I've
worked
closely
with
the
kentucky
department
of
education
on
additional
language
to
this
review
process,
as
well
as
clean
up
to
existing
language
and
statute.
H
H
Third
there's
also
an
energy
report.
That's
been
required
in
statute
since
2010.
If
you
all
recall
back
into
around
2010
the
efficient
school
design,
movement
jump
started
with
the
american
recovery
and
reinvestment
act,
and
the
report
was
useful
at
that
time.
H
It
was
designed
to
help
legislators
with
ideas
in
the
area
of
efficient
school
design.
However,
it's
currently
it's
unclear
whether
anyone
reads
or
utilizes,
this
yearly
updated
report
and
these
reports
take
up
to
between
100
and
200
staff
hours
each
year
to
compile
and
that's
a
five-week
time
that
kentucky
department
of
education
could
be
focused
on
working
with
districts,
approving
and
reviewing
construction
plans
and
documents.
A
Have
a
motion
representative,
koenig,
second
representative,
bray,
any
questions,
representative
marzian,
I
think
you've
got
a
question.
I.
I
When
I
saw
this,
I
was
a
bit
concerned
because
it
looked
a
little
bit
like
a
roll
back
on
energy
efficient
school
buildings,
which
I
don't
know
if
y'all
anybody
here
remembers,
representative
jim
decessory,
who
was
a
republican,
and
I
worked
together
on
screen
school
legislation.
H
No,
I
do
not
see
it
as
that
it
just
it's
taken
away.
This
report,
that's
done
every
year.
That's
all
that
it's
doing
a
lot
of
the
schools.
Now
the
the
design
of
schools
now
is,
is
far
better
than
what
we
had.
You
know,
10
or
12
years
ago,
and
a
lot
of
the
things
that
were
new
10
or
12
years
ago.
H
It's
just
is
just
common
practice
now
with
energy
efficiency,
and
so
all
this
is
really
doing
is
just
taking
away
that
report,
because
it's
not
really
utilized
a
whole
lot
from
what
we
understand
and
it
takes
a
lot
of
staff
hours
from
kde.
So
that's
all
it's
doing.
A
I
Also
was
a
little
concerned
about
the
water
fill
stations
they're
still
going
to
be
in
they're
just
in
another
they're
still
gonna
have
that
that's.
H
Correct
they
are
that
language
is
already
in
administrative
breaks,
okay,
so
so,
and
it's
also
in
statute,
so
we're
just
taking
it
out
of
statute
because
it
already
exists
in
the
plumbing
section
of
administrative
brex.
I
But,
but
does
the
rag
as
have
as
much
impact
as
the
statute.
D
You,
mr
speaker,
mr
chairman,
my
question
is
on
section
three
162.062:
the
plans
for
the
school
deals
with
water
bottle,
filling
stations
and
and
drinking
fountains
it
looks
like
that
is.
Is
that
taken
out.
H
D
H
H
D
In
the
age
of
covet,
if
our
name
is
chairman
in
the
age
of
covet
water,
filling
stations,
water
bottle,
filling
stations
are
something
that
has
come
become
routine,
but
water
fountains
have
been
eliminated
it
just
for
me
the
that
language
should
be
removed
at
least
water
water
fountains
should
be
made
unworkable
or
or
taken
out
of
use.
At
this
point,
because
of
covet.
D
H
Opinion,
okay,
well,
this
bill
doesn't
we're
not
addressing
that
in
this
bill.
Specifically,
this
is
mainly
just
the
water
bottle
filling
stations
it's
in
statute,
but
it's
also
in
administrative
brags.
So
it's
just
taking
it
out
of
the
statute
and
keeping
it
in
the
administrative
breaks
where
it's
supposed
to
be.
Okay,.
D
A
F
G
G
I
Mars
in
I'm
going
to
vote
yes,
can
I
explain
something
real
quick,
go.
B
C
A
I
When
I
saw
this
bill
because
representative
cesar
and
I
had
worked
so
hard
on
it,
we
talked
a
lot
about
it
and
represented
brown
brought
up
a
good
point,
and
I
wonder
if
it
would
would
not
hurt
the
bill
any
if
we
just
amended
it
and
kept
that
water
fill
station
in
just
because
I'm
on
the
administrative
reagan
and
they
can
be
changed
pretty
quickly,
the
regs
can.
But
if
it's
in
statute,
if,
if
that
would
be,
I
don't
think
it
hurt
your
bill
any.
If
we
could
talk
about
it
later.
C
A
G
Yes,
please,
yes,
on
both.
A
Seeing
no
other
business
coming
before
the
committee,
we
will
consider
ourselves
adjourned.
