A
Slight
deviation
from
the
agenda
this
morning-
and
everyone
knows
this
is
a
very
busy
time
and
folks
have
multiple
meetings
they're
trying
to
make
so
trying
to
accommodate
everybody's
schedule.
To
that
end,
we're
going
to
move
down
to
the
resolutions
that
we
have
on
our
agenda
today
and
that's
senator
julie.
Rocky
adams
should
come
forward.
D
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
julie,
rocky
adams,
state
senator
district
36.,
and
would
you
just
like
me
to
proceed.
D
Senate
resolution
163-
and
I
know
that
we
we're
all
very
busy
right
now
and
usually
we
do
a
lot
of
these
confirmations
at
the
very
end.
But
I
pulled
out
these
two
people
because
they're
not
only
my
constituents
and
they
meet
the
the
constitutional
threshold
to
be
confirmed,
but
tony
collier
is
an
attorney
in
town.
D
He
is
a
really
great
guy
he's
committed
to
the
commonwealth,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
point
him
out
that
I
think
he
would
be
an
excellent
addition
to
the
kentucky
board
of
tax
appeals
and
then
on
senate
resolution,
164,
amy
leonards
for
the
crime
victims,
compensation
board,
she's,
also
a
tremendous
victims,
rights
advocate
in
louisville.
She
does
a
lot
with
human
trafficking
and
I
think
that
she
would
be
the
perfect
addition
to
the
crime
victims.
Compensation
board.
A
Aye
motion
for
second
second
by
senator
mills
on
favor,
say
aye
aye
the
opposed.
Thank
you,
mr
motion
on
saying
resolution
164.
A

A
A

A
E
Mr
chairman,
I
I
know
get
tired
of
hearing
the
phrase,
a
simple
little
bill.
This
is
this
is
a
common
sense
and
I
had
a
veteran
called
me
not
long
ago.
She
had
just
retired
from
the
military
and
had
extensive
weapons
training,
while
she
was,
as
all
all
veterans
have
had.
I
guess
weapons,
training
and-
and
she
asked
a
simple
question:
why
do
I
have
to
do
the
live
fire
exercise
to
get
my
hunter
safety
card?
E
When
I'm,
you
know,
I'm
I've
been
qualified
with
weapons,
and
I
understand
the
process,
and
I
just
think
this
is
you
know
really
veterans
should
be
exempted
and
I
agreed
with
her
and
I
followed
this
bill
and
it
simply
says
for
the
life
fire
exercise
required
to
get
your
hunter
safety
card
and
a
hunter
safety
card
is
for
anyone
I
think
born
after
1975
has
to
have
that
hunter
safety
card
and,
if
you're,
a
current
member
of
the
armed
forces,
a
veteran
with
an
honorable
discharge
or
peace
officer,
so
all
all
law
enforcement
officers
would
be
exempt
from
this.
A
A
E
A
F
Good
morning,
sir,
my
name
is
state
representative
bill
wesley
from
the
91st
district.
Thank
you
all
for
having
us
this
morning.
F
Mr
chairman
and
members
of
the
committee,
I'm
here
to
discuss
house
bill
79,
which
is
known
as
br
169.
You
should
have
a
a
little
packet
of
some
letters
from
the
kina
and
apco
dispatchers
association
that
approves
this.
This
house
bill
this
bill
is
called
lifeliners
act
because
it
helps
to
spread
the
awareness
of
the
the
work
and
due
stress,
recognize
the
symptoms
of
ptsd
for
dispatchers.
F
I
respect
all
of
them
for
the
work
that
they
do
and
that
they
do
every
day
as
a
chaplain,
I
serve
over
four
counties
and
ten
departments
back
home
and-
and
I
hear
a
lot
of
the
issues
that
these
dispatchers
go
through
and
not
only
that,
but
our
first
responders
when
we
think
of
ptsd,
we
think
of
someone
that
has
a
weapon
or
a
badge,
and
that's
not
the
case
in
this,
and
so
this
is,
is
about
our
our
first
responders,
our
dispatchers
that
deals
with
the
everyday
stress
that
they
hear
over
the
radios
and
so
this
this
bill.
F
F
Also,
the
kentucky
post-critical
incident
seminar,
which
is
known
as
the
kypcis.
It's
a
three-day
seminar
developed
by
the
fbi
and
south
carolina
law
enforcement
assistance
program.
Mental
health
professionals
led
this
seminar
in
hopes
of
filling
a
void
that
is,
is
to
care
for
the
officers
and
dispatchers
who
currently
are
experiencing
a
lack
of
resources
and
support.
F
So
this
seminar
data
shows
that
the
sources
of
our
telecommunicators
or
our
dispatchers,
that
the
duty
related
stress
are
mostly
connected
to
a
a
line
of
duty,
injury
or
death,
infants
or
children,
death
or
suicide
involves
shootings
with
officers
and
fires.
According
to
the
statistics
that
they
deal
with
going
through
this
seminar
on
the
first
day,
there
is
a
13
percent
of
recording
of
depression.
F
Also
anxiety
is
25,
but
the
pdsd
is
67
on
the
first
day
recorded
through
this,
the
seminar,
the
statistics
show
that
these
ptsd
symptoms
scores
after
the
seminar
participates.
F
It
drops
to
38
percent
and
to
20
22
percent,
proving
that
this
training
has
a
positive
impact
that
is
put
on
by
the
dlc
jt,
and
so
this
positive
impact
on
our
citizens
who
suffer
from
these
mental
health
disorders.
F
And
since
I
first
introduced
this
bill,
I
have
received
countless
letters
from
our
deputies
and
all
law
enforcement,
dispatchers
fire
department
that
they
are
on
board
with
this,
and
so
our
pace,
our
public
safety
directors
and
both
kentucky
911
associations,
which
you
have
in
your
packet
they're
in
in
support
of
this
bill
and
I'll
turn
this
over.
To
representative
mark
hart.
G
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
committee,
I'm
here
to
fully
endorse
this
bill
as
the
primary
co-sponsor
as
a
firefighter
paramedic
and
being
on
the
receiving
end
of
some
of
these
services.
Our
dispatchers
are
often
the
forgotten
first
responders
out
there.
We
firemen
policemen
emts,
we're
we're
tasked
with
the
responsibility
to
mitigate
an
incident
when
we're
called
to
it,
but
our
dispatchers
they're
not
only
our
lifeline,
to
get
us
the
resources
we
need
to
to
fix
the
scene.
G
H
A
Folks
may
recall
we
had
some
just
riveting
testimony
during
the
interim
on
this
and
really
educated
this
that
these
folks
are
kind
of
forgotten.
So
I
appreciate
you
bringing
this
bill.
Senator
wilson,
you
have
a
question
come
in.
C
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
and
representative
wesley
and
hart.
I
really
appreciate
this
bill
to
me.
I
had
a
bill
that
you
guys
just
finally
passed
yesterday,
which
dealt
with
peer
counseling,
also
included
the
dispatchers
as
well,
and
this
is
is
like
wrap-around
services
that
I
see
that
they
truly
need
because
they
are
forgotten
and
what
they
have
to
deal
with
on
the
phone
or
the
radio,
and
everything
like
that.
C
A
C
A
A
I
vote
is
unanimous.
Is
there
a
motion
for
consent?
Motion
by
central
wilson
deserve.
Second,
second
center
apparent
almost
four
vote.
I
I
in
the
opposition
all
right.
Thank
you
great
bill.
Thank.
A
I
I
Identify
yourself,
representative,
nancy,
tate
and
I
represent
district
27,
which
is
made
in
hardin
counties.
Thank.
I
So
and
last
year
you
all
allowed
this
opportunity
to
be
presented
in
the
state
of
kentucky
with
house
bill
155,
and
so
what
I'm
asking
for
is
the
opportunity
to
expand
this
service
to
be
provided.
There's
been
a
lot
of
interest
and
a
lot
of
requests
in
order
for
us
to
put
these
boxes
in
facilities
right
now
we
have
the
capability
of
putting
them
in
churches,
police
stations
and
fire
stations
that
are
staffed
24
by
7.
and,
as
many
of
you
all
know,
in
the
rural
counties,
we
don't
have
that
opportunity.
I
So
what
I'm
asking
for
is
the
ability
to
add
them
to
the
ems
centers
we
discussed
this
last
year,
but
what
we
during
our
investigation
we
concluded
that
ems
centers
are,
is
not
a
standard
term
across
the
united
states,
nor
even
in
kentucky,
so
speaking
with
us,
monica
kelsey
who's,
the
founder
and
ceo,
who
happens
to
be
on
the
line
and
I'd
like
for
her
to
give
an
update,
but
we
thought
we
would
just
put
that
on
hold
and
then
continue
to
do
some
investigation.
I
A
J
Sure
my
name
is
monica
kelsey,
I'm
the
current
ceo
and
founder
of
safe
haven,
baby
boxes,
and
I
want
to
thank
you
guys
for
giving
us
the
opportunity
to
extend
this
bill
or
extend
the
law
to
allow
for
more
rural
areas
to
to
do
the
baby
box
program.
Currently
we
have
seven
active
boxes
in
the
state
of
kentucky,
as
most
of
you
guys
have
seen,
and
we
are
working
currently
with
eight
more
locations
and
most
of
those
are
fire
stations.
J
One
of
those
is
hospitals
since
july
of
last
year,
when
we
put
the
very
first
baby
box
in
the
state
of
kentucky,
I'm
excited
to
announce
that
there's
been
no
dead,
babies
from
abandonment
in
the
state
of
kentucky
or
indiana
or
arkansas
every
state
that
we
go
into
the
abandonment
rates
drop.
We
have
helped
two
mothers
in
the
state
of
kentucky
one
at
a
hospital
and
one
surrender
at
a
fire
station
since
july
of
last
year,
so
the
program
is
working.
The
word
is
getting
out.
J
People
are
getting
our
phone
number
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
they
follow
the
law
safely.
We've
also
had
15
babies
in
our
boxes
in
indiana
and
arkansas,
which
those
two
locations
obviously
have
had
boxes
in
for
a
while.
I
Thank
you
monica
one
of
the
things
that
I
wanted
to
do
to
communicate
to
you
all
too,
in
jen
of
last
year,
right
after
this
law,
this
bill
became
law,
fern
creek
christian
passed
the
plate
at
one
of
their
sunday
services
and
they
basically
just
communicated
the
little
bit
that
they
knew
about
this
opportunity
and
in
one
passing
of
the
plate
they
raised
60
000,
which
will
provide
for
four
of
these
boxes
to
be
located.
I
So
what
that
tells
me
is
that
that
tells
me
that
people
are
looking
for
solutions.
They
want
to
save
lives.
So
this
is
what
might
not
be
a
simple
bill.
It's
a
simple
solution,
and
so
people
want
to
save
lives,
and
I
appreciate
monica
bringing
this
opportunity
to
us
melinda.
Would
you
like
to
say
anything?
In
addition?
Thank.
K
You
I
appreciate
it
our
safe
haven,
baby
box
in
millenberg,
county
representative.
K
A
K
Safe
haven,
baby
box
is
located
in
a
centrally
located
9-1-1
center.
That
is
manned
24
7..
It
meets
all
the
requirements
and
while
ems
was
all
over
the
original
bill,
it
wasn't
specifically
stated,
but
our
hospital
owensboro
health
in
owensboro,
the
mother
hospital
and
our
fiscal
court
are
not
going
to
be
comfortable
unless
this
is
specifically
in
legislature.
So
it's
people
been
trained.
It's
there
they're
ready
to
flip
the
switch
and
they're
just
waiting
on
this.
C
E
E
I
E
I
That's
correct:
we
understand
that
yes,
sir,
and
and
share
your
concern
as
well.
That's
why
we
make
sure
that
that
very
first
requirement
is
24x7
staffed
and
with
the
type
of
certificate
certified
people
that
we
want
them
to
be.
You
know,
so
it's
not
like
we're
going
to
open
this
up
to
convenience,
stores
or
anything,
and
I
know
that
that's
not
at
all
what
you're
suggesting.
E
I
And
but
one
of
the
things
that
I
want
to
point
out
to
you,
though,
under
the
originally
people,
had
the
opportunity
to
put
a
baby
in
a
box
on
the
church
steps
and
we
had
a
situation
that
occurred
in
bowling
green,
where
the
baby
was
placed
in
a
box
on
the
church,
steps
or
fire
station
steps.
And
and
it
was
the
the
conditions
it
was
very
cold.
And
so
fortunately,
the
baby
survived.
But
that
was
a
very
precarious
situation.
And
this
is
a
solution
that
prevents
that.
Okay
and
there
was.
K
There
was
a
personal
story
in
melbourne
county
several
years
ago,
where
a
woman
left
a
baby
on
a
church
steps
and
our
director
of
pathway
of
hope.
Our
pregnancy
resource
center
asked
her
she's
friends
with
her.
She
said
if
this
had
been
available
to
you
back
then
would
you
have
used
it?
She
said
absolutely.
J
I'd
be
happy
to
you,
know
our
boxes
and
a
lot
of
people
don't
understand
how
the
boxes
truly
work,
but
the
box
actually
call
9-1-1
on
their
own.
We've
actually
had
a
fire
station
in
indiana
that
was
out
on
a
fire
call.
No
one
was
in
the
building,
but
the
boxes
have
three
alarms
on
them.
So
if
one
was
to
fail,
the
second
one
would
pick
up
because
they're
not
connected
to
each
other.
We
also
recently
started
putting
cameras
on
the
insides
of
the
baby
boxes
that
are
apt
to
people's
smartphones.
J
So
when
there's
movement
inside
the
box,
a
notification
goes
off
on
a
on
a
smartphone
that
is
handled
by
the
fire
department
or
the
hospital,
and
so
they're
actually
notified
via
the
app
prior
to
911.
Even
getting
the
call
so
and-
and
I
appreciate
this-
these
comments-
because
this
is
this-
is
something
that
we
take
very
seriously:
we've
never
had
a
box
fail.
J
We
have
105
currently
in
this
in
the
in
the
country,
but
we've
made
this
to
where
we
do
know
that
electronics
fail
eventually,
but
we've
taken
so
many
safety
steps
with
the
the
alarms
and
then
with
the
cameras
that
are
not
attached
to
the
alarms
to
ensure
that
when
a
baby
is
placed
in
these
boxes
that
they
are
taken
out
immediately.
The
average
time
currently
for
babies
in
our
boxes
are
between
two
and
two
and
a
half
minutes.
J
Yes,
they
we
actually
have
a
temperature
gauge
on
the
inside
of
our
boxes
that
stay
between
75
and
85
degrees,
newborns
need
heat
and
so
having
it
hot.
Even
in
the
summertime
is
a
good
thing
for
newborns.
We
had
a
physician
that
actually
recommended
the
the
the
temperature
for
us,
but
that
is
constantly
working.
It's
again:
temperature
controlled
and
then
the
outside
door
actually
locks.
Also
so
when
mom
places
baby
inside
the
box,
the
door
locks
on
the
outside.
So
no
one
can
come
by
and
take
this
child.
J
The
baby
can
only
be
retrieved
from
the
inside
of
the
fire
station
or
the
hospital
at
that
one
station
where
they
were
out
on
a
fire
call
and
had
to
come
back
to
the
station
when
9-1-1
notified
them
that
their
baby
box
alarms
were
going
off.
That
was
the
longest
time
a
baby
had
ever
been
in
our
box,
and
that
was
only
four
minutes
and
20
seconds
and
when
you
look
at
that
and
you
think
a
baby
in
a
dumpster
is
there
for
hours.
J
You
know
I
was
abandoned
as
an
infant
back
in
1973,
and
these
programs
were
not
available,
and
so
I've
taken
this
this
mission
and
and
made
it
safe,
legal
and
given
these
women
the
opportunity
to
do
the
right
thing,
because
I
feel
that
if
they
have
the
good
options,
they'll
choose
the
right
option
for
them,
and
and
that's
why
we
we
take
everything
very
seriously
on
the
safety
side
as
well,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
mom
is
very
comfortable
and
at
peace
with
the
decision
that
she
makes.
A
Ms
kelsey,
we
always
appreciate
your
testimony
on
behalf
of
that
and
certainly
appreciate
your
mission
to
this.
It's
a
great
story
that
you
share
with
us
and
always
good
to
have
you
participate
in
these
discussions
and
it's
always
an
education
for
me.
So
I
appreciate
that
we
do
have
a
motion
segment
on
the
bill.
Are
there
any
questions
comments,
if
not
just
call
the
roll.
A
A
A
Vote
on
the
sub
is
your
second
second,
with
senator
wilson,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye
in
the
opposition.
All
right!
Thank
you.
Please
proceed
well.
First,
I
want
to
congratulate
you.
I'm
moving
this
bill
forward
and
thank
you
for
it,
and
quite
an
education
gave
us
the
last
committee
meeting
and
I
really
didn't
have
an
awareness
of
how
significant
this
issue
is,
and
it's
an
evolving
issue.
So
I
thank
you
for
your
for
your
bill.
So
please
proceed.
H
Well,
I
don't
have
anything
to
add.
I
addressed
the
bill
and
its
particulars
setting
up
a
framework
for
how
the
guidelines
for
law
enforcement
to
use
facial,
recognizing
technology
and
that's
what
this
bill
does.
H
A
C
Chair
explain
my
vote.
Yes,
please
thank
you.
I
vote
I
and
just
want
to
thank
the
sponsor.
I
think
this
committee
sub
really
addresses
some
of
the
concerns
I
had
on
the
prior
version
and
I
think
it's
just
greatly
improved.
Thank
you.
A
H
I
appreciate
that
I'm
not
sure
they
all
want
to
hear
me
talk,
but
I'm
happy
to
do
whatever
the
chair
wishes.
