This

of

Affairs,
public

so
glad
to
have
such
a
full

and

important
our

Thank

It
is
a
great
honor
and
privilege
for
me
to
be
here
with
Master
Sergeant
Joanne
Orr
I
want
to
tell
you
about
the
person
and
what
it
takes
to
be
a
veteran
to
defend
the
promise
of
America
see
she
has
her
master.
She
has
her
bachelor's.
She
has
a
lot
of
accolades.
She
is
veteran
of
the
year.
She
is
mother
of
the
year.
E
She's
done
a
lot
of
things,
but
what
her
bio
doesn't
tell
us
is
about
her
heart,
her
capacity
to
love
her
capacity
to
keep
doing
the
work
even
after
she
retired
from
the
Army.
Now
she's
got
a
lot
of
things
on
her
heart,
so
I'm
going
to
give
the
floor
to
her
so
that
she
can
tell
you
how
what
she
does
and
also
how
we
can
help
the
state
of
Kentucky
serve
its
veterans.
H
H
Okay,
good
morning
my
name
is
Joanna.
Orr
I
am
25
years:
retired
United,
States,
Army,
quartermaster,
Corps,
Master
Sergeant.
Where
do
you
start
I've,
always
always
interested
in
being
in
the
military?
My
mother
was
in
the
military
from
1940
to
1946
and
it
was
her
way
out
of
Mississippi
I
sincerely.
H
She
never
said
it,
but
I
sincerely
believe
they
had
a
lot
to
do
with
it
and
for
me,
married
to
a
Vietnam
vet
who
went
back
to
Vietnam
three
times
after
being
wounded
and
though
his
body
came
back
from
the
from
Vietnam
his
mind.
H
Never
did
he
passed
in
2015
still
calling
in
incoming
and
and
all
the
things
you
do
when
somebody
throws
off
a
firecracker
you're,
not
really
sure
where
you
are,
and
since
there
was
no
PTSD
treatment
back
in
the
day,
you
did
what
you
had
to
do
and
you
just
kept
it
moving.
I
joined
the
reserves
in
2000
or
2000
and
1975
as
my
way
into
the
military,
because
at
that
time,
ladies,
you
had
to
have
your
husband's
signature
to
get
in
the
military.
H
H
H
Do
what
you
got
to
do
he'll
be
here
when
you
get
back
so
that's
what
I
did
three
Duty
stations
in
the
United
States
in
25
years
didn't
take
long
to
figure
out
that
my
name
was
going
to
be
anonymous
with
combat
support,
basic
training,
eight
weeks,
snow,
plow,
five
o'clock
in
the
morning
for
Dix
New
Jersey
reality
check
for
a
29
year.
Old
I
went
to
basic
training
in
75
as
a
reserves,
but
then
we
only
did
two
weeks.
H
Ladies
by
79,
we
did
eight
I
didn't
know
that
I
might
have
changed
my
mind,
but
eight
weeks
I
survived.
It
went
on
to
Fort
Dix
for
my
training
I'm,
a
quartermaster
NCO
I,
run
storage,
warehouses,
data
processing
systems
for
the
military,
very
large
computers.
Then
now
we
have
this
back.
Then
we
had
this
room
because
that's
about
what
it
took
to
house,
a
computer
combat
support
everything's
built
into
a
five-ton
trailer.
H
So
everywhere
we
went
first
Duty
station
197th
infantry
Brigade,
Fort,
Benning
Georgia,
when
I
saw
it
on
my
orders,
not
knowing
what
an
infantry
Brigade
was
I'm
like.
Oh,
this
is
great
I'm
six
hours
from
Louisville
I
can
travel
home
and
yeah
everything's
great
and
found
out.
I'm
gonna
live
in
the
woods
yeah
three
weeks
out
of
every
month,
training.
But
you
know
it's
what
you
do
and
I
enjoyed
what
I
did
for
25
years
I
enjoyed
what
I
did
two
tours
of
banning
two
tours
of
Fort
Hood.
H
Second
Army
division:
five
tours
of
career
Two
spending,
two
second
Infantry
Division
walking
the
line
with
a
M
dog
on
the
DMZ
at
two
in
the
morning,
with
all
the
little
North
Koreans
trying
to
get
you
to
talk
them
into
teaching
them
English,
so
that
didn't
work
either.
I
didn't
speak
enough,
Korean
to
even
know
what
he
was
talking
about,
so
we
just
played
that
off
and
went
on
last,
not
last
tour,
but
in
the
middle
Fort
Stewart
Georgia,
my
son,
passed
in
October
of
1989.
H
H
If
you
add
me
out
of
bed
at
two
in
the
morning
issued
me
all
my
gear,
which
was
easy.
I
was
still
in
the
barracks.
I
hadn't
even
had
a
chance
to
find
a
place
to
stay.
I
still
didn't
have
a
car
I
still
hadn't
been
home,
I've
been
gone.
Two
years,
I
was
still
trying
to
deal
with
the
death
of
my
child,
but
the
Lord
does
what
he
does
and
all
the
right
time,
and
that
was
the
right
time
for
me
not
to
be
able
to
sit.
H
So
they
put
me
on
a
plane
the
next
day
with
46
other
soldiers.
A
week
later
we
got
a
contingency
force
of
almost
a
thousand
and
we
started
setting
up
for
the
Gulf
War.
We
had
to
settle
for
90
000
soldiers
to
hit
the
ground
in
three
weeks
time.
So
I
survived
it
I'm
here
I'm
talking
about
it,
that's
a
good
thing,
but
it
was
an
experience.
It
was
an
experience
to
be
out
in
the
desert.
H
It
was
experience
to
try
and
wash
all
this
sand
out
of
your
underwear
when
you're
hitting
a
sandstorm
every
day
at
four
o'clock.
It
was
an
experience,
we
storage,
warehouses,
we
carried
ten
five-ton
trailers
every
day,
a
oil
tanker,
a
water
truck
and
Lord
knows
how
many
miscellaneous
Reserve
units
that
came
in
to
put
up
porta
potties,
which
was
an
experience
in
the
sand
because
they
kept
sinking
yeah
tried
using
one
of
them,
but
just
little
bitty
things
like
having
to
get
shots,
not
really
knowing
what
they're
giving
you.
H
So
whatever
you
had
to
do
to
get
you
from
point
A
to
point
B
on
a
daily
basis,
that's
what
the
job
called
for
and
that's
what
we
did
and
you
learned
family
which
you
in
the
military
were
all
family.
We're
it's
just
something
you
you
never
leave
you
you
build
that
family.
From
the
day
you
meet
a
person
the
day
you
serve
with
a
person
to
the
day,
the
first
one
of
you
go
and
they'll
be
waiting
for
you
when
you
get
there
when
your
day
comes
so
we
live
on
that
promise.
H
Desert
Storm
was
nothing
like
Vietnam,
but
a
little
bit
of
maybe
what
my
husband
had
been
through.
I
kind
of
it
was
easier
for
me
to
understand
and
my
reality,
for
it
was
my
first
tour
back.
They
sent
I
come
back
to
Stuart,
but
going
into
Korea
the
year
after
we
were
at
a
mall
or
something,
and
somebody
was
throwing
firecrackers.
You
knew
everybody
in
this
place
that
had
been
to
the
gulf,
because
everybody
took
cover.
H
People
would
look
at
us
like
we
lost
our
minds
because
we're
all
crawling
all
over
the
ground
before
we
realized.
Where
we
were
but
the
job
left,
my
last
tour
career
came
back
to
task
force
21
at
Fort,
Hood
Texas,
which
is
where
I
retired
from
took
up
the
job
of
M1,
M
A1,
A2
tanks
and
putting
in
computer
systems
and
getting
the
pleasure
of
driving
a
tank
at
65
miles
an
hour
across
the
California
desert
and
hit
a
Target.
H
Now
that's
power:
okay,
that's
real
power
that
made
it
all
worth
it
right
there,
but
20
years,
25
years
later,
24
years,
eight
months
and
four
days
later,
I
retired
I,
just
I,
couldn't
make
another
five
mile
run
and
God
forbid
them.
18
year
olds
were
moving
way
too
fast.
For
me,
I
was
hitting
50.,
so
it
was
just
time
to
go
home,
but
coming
out
you
take
off
the
uniform
and
you-
and
you
pick
up
the
battle
from
where
you
left
with
my
son.
H
Having
passed
my
biggest
concern
for
Kentucky
was
the
fact
that
there
was
still
no
treatment
for
sickle
cell,
so
that
was
my
first
job
and
in
2017.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Senator
Neil,
who
I
should
have
don't
see.
We
finally
got
our
first
Clinic
open
for
adults.
Now
children
were
covered
up
until
the
age
of
19,
but
at
19
you
had
to
travel
from
anywhere
in
the
state
of
Kentucky
to
Vanderbilt
University
for
care,
and
that
was
just
wrong.
H
They
were
so
scared
of
over
medicating
you
that
they
were
under
medicating
and
there
was
really
just
nothing
else.
You
could
do
you
just
kind
of
live
with
it,
but
that
was
done
so
plan
B
just
do
what
you
could
do
to
keep
up
and
then
I
found
out
that
we
women
who
serve
in
the
state
of
Kentucky-
and
this
was
just
a
few
years
ago-
that
I
realized
that
we
don't
have
anything
here
in
the
state
of
Kentucky
for
women
veterans.
This
is
a
No-No.
We
do
have
one
transition
house.
H
You
know
she
said
behind
me:
Ms
Abbott
got
open
in
2020,
but
I
work
now
with
Sickle
Cell,
of
course,
always
my
heart,
but
I'm
really
working
hard
to
get
my
women
veterans
off
the
street
right
now
in
Louisville,
I
have
12
of
them
off
the
street.
Hotel
Louisville
has
four
and
the
Salvation
Army's
holding
on
to
the
other
eight.
They
actually
have
a
wing
of
the
Salvation
Army.
Now
that
says
women's
veterans
homeless,
and
they
were
just
hurts
my
feelings.
Every
time
I
walk
in
the
door,
but
they're
there
they're
off
the
street.
H
They
have
a
section
for
women
or
just
families
in
general.
They
find
living
in
our
cars
and
stuff,
but
women
veterans
in
particular,
and
it's
just
time
for
us,
that's
my
goal
for
my
women.
I
have
to
speak
up
in
that
regards.
We
have
to
do
something
for
the
women
who
have
served
this
country
and
it's
27
000
of
us
in
the
state
of
Kentucky.
That's
amazing.
H
E
And
as
we
I
mean,
that's
a
good
place
to
pause,
because
there
are
27
000
of
us
that
we're
willing
to
give
our
lives
and
if
there's
any
one
last
thing
you
want
to
say
to
the
people
that
can
help
you
do
that.
What
would
that
be?.
H
As
woman
veteran
of
the
year,
it's
my
place
to
do
this
and
I
would
do
it
if
it
worked.
I
was
fortunate,
I
kind
of
took
care
of
me
and
I
didn't
really
look
back,
but
it's
past
time
for
me
to
stick
that
hand
back
and
pull
somebody
forward
and
I
need
you
to
do
the
same
thing.
We're
in
desperate
need
out
here
really
I
mean
most
our
women
veterans
won't
even
admit
to
being
veterans,
they've
been
mistreated
or
just
disregarded.
H
H
E
A
Appreciate
everything
you've
done
and
such
a
long
career
and
sorry
for
your
loss
of
your
son
there-
that's
that's,
that's
definitely
tough
there
would,
let's
see,
does
anyone
have
any
questions,
comments
or
anything
for
master
sergeant
now?
Why
don't?
A
If
y'all
would
come
around
to
the
front
and
I
believe
representative
Stevenson
has
something
to
present
to
it,
looks
like
you
got
plenty
of
decorations
there
and
and
but
here's
one
more,
that
we
can
at
least
present
to
you
on
on
behalf
of
our
veterans,
military
Affairs
there
and
do
we
have
camera
or
any.
Oh
there
we
go
someone's
going
to
take
a
picture.
A
Alrighty
hard
to
follow
after
that
act
there,
but
representative
Chris
fugit

going
to
come

didn't
tell
you.
He
graduated
class
four
at
Appalachian

up
at
Harlan
Kentucky

since
he
joined
the
United

Kentucky

recently

Member
up
there.
G
Thank
you,
General
Jones
and
thank
you.
Mr,
chairman
of
the
members
of
the
committee
in
2017
I,
was
elected
as
a
state
representative,
and
my
County
then
was
Perry
in
Harlan
counties
and
I
was
introduced
to
the
Youth
ChalleNGe
Program
and
the
Mr
Josh
coldiron
in
in
the
Appalachian
Challenge
Academy
in
Harlan,
and
when
I
went
there
to
and
I
I
visited
the
the
the
school
and
The
Challenge
Academy.
The
program
I
was
impressed
because
of
the
things
that
it
was
teaching
the
young
people,
both
men
and,
ladies,
that
would
come
there.
G
Their
program
I
believe-
and
you
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
is
for
kids
between
15
and
a
half
years
old
to
18
years
old
or
19
years
old.
That
would
attend
the
Challenge
Academy
The
Challenge
Academy
teaches
them,
of
course,
self-respect
teaches
them
discipline
and
it's
a
military
type
Academy
where
they
attend
classes.
They
do
credit
recovery
and
they
just
teach
them
a
lot
about
life
that
maybe
they
didn't
have
the
opportunity
to
to
learn
prior
to
going
to
the
academy.
G
House
Bill
244
is
a
bill
that
would
recognize
the
Appalachian
Challenge
Academy
and
the
Bluegrass
ChalleNGe
Academy
as
a
school
district
right
now
they
take
kids
from
they
take
the
young
people
from
other
other
schools.
And
again
you
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
in
in
the
school
districts,
while
the
student
may
transfer
to
one
of
the
academies,
the
school
district
still
have
their
scores
and
different
things
that
that
stay
with
the
home
school.
G
This
would
allow
the
school
districts
and
the
young
people
to
chat
to
transfer
from
their
home
District
to
The
Challenge
Academy
their
scores
and
all
that
would
follow
them.
The,
Challenge
Academy.
Would
the
challenge
academies
would
contract
with
a
local
school
district
for
curriculum
for
the
year
and
they
they.
The
the
program,
is
a
five
and
a
half
month
program
and
then,
after
successfully
completing
the
the
account
enemies,
they
can
return
back
to
their
home
District
to
finish
their
senior
year
or
the
years
that
would
that
they
need
to
complete
their
their
High
School.
G
G
That
really
is
is
the
bill
in
the
nutshell,
General
Jones.
If
you
want
to
add
something
to
what
I've
said
absolutely.
I
Two
thank
you,
sir,
to
to
make
sure
everybody's
on
the
same
page.
Here
this
program
stood
up
in
Kentucky
in
1999,
and
then
we
added
one
in
Harlan
in
in
2012..
It
was
GED
focused
as,
as
everyone
knows,
2016
Commonwealth
Kentucky
adopted
graduate
Kentucky
the
mandatory
attendance.
At
that
time
we
had
already
started
transitioning
credit
recovery,
so
so
so
these
young
men
and
women
that
are
attending
Academy
are
are
focused
on
an
individual
lesson
plan
to
get
them
back
on
track
to
put
them
back
in
their
parent
classroom.
I
So
what
this
does
for
us
is.
It
adds
a
that
legitimacy
to
the
both
academies
that
we
know
without
exception.
Those
kids
attending
are
getting
the
same
educational
standards
that
they
would
in
any
public
school
system
throughout
the
Commonwealth,
so
they
transfer
from
their
parent
School
come
to
us
for
five
and
a
half
months.
We
get
them
back
on
track
educationally
on
what
they
need
further
their
parent
counselor
and
and
then
teach
them
the
skills
to
return
to
that
classroom
and
overcome
those
challenges
that
got
them
off
track,
whether
that's
environment
or
or
whatever.
I
The
issue
is.
We
did
this
in
collaboration
with
Kentucky
Department
of
Education
and
and
Dr
Brody,
Berry
and
and
the
folks
up
at
Eminence,
Independence
School
District
we're
not
Educators,
but
we
can
take
and
teach
you
to
be
a
responsible
young
adults
and-
and
we
do
that
through
a
quasi
military
Forum.
But
our
our
goal
is
to
get
them
educationally
back
up
with
their
peers,
put
them
back
in
their
classroom
as
a
productive
student
in
that
school
system.
A
All
right,
I
heard
a
motion
by
representative
Lewis
did
I
hear
the
second
over
here
by
Mark
Hart
there
so
alrighty.
We
do
have
some
questions.
Dj.
J
A
Representative
Johnson,
let
you
go
ahead
and
start
thank.
D
You
Mr
chair,
I've,
got
one
question.
First
off
I
want
to
say
love,
it
love
what
you're
doing
and
representative
fugit
just
to
clarify
that
you
mentioned
750
000
from
the
general
fund.
Is
that
to
be
allocated
in
addition,
or
has
that
already
been.
C
I
do
have
a
concern
I'm,
not
really
understanding
why
it
would
need
to
become
a
district
with
171
districts,
I'm,
hesitant
to
add
a
district,
and
then
just
my
second
bit
of
a
question
is
how
many
Cadets
do
you
have
per
year?
So.
I
So
the
capacity
is
is
300
per
Academy.
600
per
years
is
a
capacity
so
the
reason,
the
reason
it
needs
to
be
and
and
I
would
ask
my
Educator's
room
like
I,
said
I'm,
not
an
educator,
so
I
go
out
and
get
extra
Birds
to
address
that,
but
I
get
I
could
paraphrase
why
it
needs
to
be
a
district.
All
the
the
negative
indicators
on
the
school
district
score
card
that
these
kids
bring
with
them
the
graduation
rate
and
the
SCT
SAT
scores
and
all
those
scorecard
issues
belong
to
their
parent
School.
I
This
way
they
belong
to
us
and-
and
we
have
no
scorecard
KDE-
does
not
fund
us
with
seek
money.
Nor
are
we
asking
for
it,
so
the
negative
indicators
that
that
Dr,
Barry
or
whatever
School
District,
that
would
accept
this
contract
that
belongs
to
us
and
doesn't
impact
their
school
district.
We're
not
going
to
create
a
school
district
I'm
going
to
go
out
and
solicit
a
contract
for
a
school
district
to
provide
Educational
Services
in
accordance
with
Kentucky
Department
of
Education
at
both
Academies
I.
Hope
that
answered
your
question.
L
General
I
think
it's
a
great
program.
I've
actually
referred
some
some
of
the
guys
on
our
unit.
They
act
as
Cadre
for
in
the
National
Guard
unit
and
I
actually
have
referred.
Two
people
to
your
program
and
they've
turned
out
very,
very
they
were
struggling
and
they
came
out
very,
very
well
and
really
changed
their
life.
L
So
I
think
you
are
doing
great
work
there,
and
not
only
do
they
get
high
school
diploma
stuff
and
get
right
on
the
right
track,
but
they're
eligible
for
scholarships
as
well,
so
they
get
they
they're
eligible
to
get
some
money.
So
I
think
it's
an
awesome
program.
I
think
we
expanded
even
more
than
what
it
is,
because
there's
a
lot
of
people
out
there
that
could
use
it.
So
I
applaud
what
you're
doing
and
I
support
this
Bill.
Yes,
sir,
thank
you.
F
I
M
Jody
League
principal
of
MNS
Independent
Schools.
We
do
all
the
academic
services
for
Bluegrass
ChalleNGe
Academy.
We
have
actually
five
teachers
that
are
on
site.
We
do
use
a
a
learning
platform
called
Edgenuity,
which
most
public
schools
are
using
now
for
their
alternative
schools
makes
for
an
easy
transition
when
I
request,
Infinite
Campus,
they
release
it
and
I'll
release
it
right
back
to
them,
so
they
kind
of
pick
up
where
they
leave
off
on
that
side.
But
yes,
an
example
of
this
year,
even
though
they
come
in
with
individual
learning
plan.
M
We
update
that
and
and
then
we
also
have
a
math
teacher
here
at
Bluegrass,
ChalleNGe
Academy,
that
that
walks
them
through
the
math
curriculum
on
that
everything
else,
English
everything
all
the
Core
Curriculum
they
they
do
on
their
own.
With
that
teacher
there
to
keep
them
unstuck.
But
but
it's
a
it's
a
classroom-led
facility
on
that
Eminence
satellite
campus.
There.
F
You
just
touched
on
something
that
I
was
curious
about
you
mentioned
they
come
in
with
an
individual
learning
plan
and
my
question
is
what
sort
of
either
evaluations
or
resources
do
you
have
to
support
students
who
might
come
to
you
who
either
already
have
an
IEP,
an
individual
educational
plan
or
a
504
plan?.
M
Thank
you
we're
a
full
service
public
school,
so
we
do
have
a
resource
room
available.
We
we
probably
average
around
30
IEPs
that
come
into
us,
which
is
about
30
percent
of
our
population
per
semester.
On
there
we
do
serve
with
504
and
IEP
to
the
T
Arc
meetings.
Everything
we
do
there
on
site
on
that
you're
welcome.
A
A
Chris,
do
you.
We
have
a
motion
in
a
second
I'm
assuming
you're,
not
going
to
say
anything
else.
So
members,
if
we're
ready,
we're
gonna,
go
ahead
and
Madam
or
Mr
secretary.
Please
call
roll
representative.
C
L
B
G
N
B
N
N
L
A
A
Alrighty,
we're
gonna
go
just
write
down
the
list
there
and
representative
Lewis.
If
you
want
to
take
your
seed
and
if
you
have
any
guests
there,
you
know
the
routine
just
make
sure
they
introduce
themselves
yourself.
Also,
we
do
have
some
people
out
in
cyber
world
there,
and
this
is
hb29.
This
is
something
we
heard
last
year,
past
unanimous
but
Senate
didn't
quite
get
to
it.
J
New
or
incoming
Deputy
Commissioner
for
kdva,
as
of
dispatch
January,
we'll
want
to
know
please
by
the
session.
I
am
the
executive
director
for
veteran
services
for
the
kdva.
P
This
is
commissioner
Whitney
Allen
from
the
nation
capital
good
morning,
chairman
entity,
members
and
I
also
have
my
executive,
my
director
of
cemeteries,
L
Duncan
Al,
though
he's
here
in
the
Capitol
with
me.
Thank
you.
K
O
Thank
you,
Mr
chairman
Vice
chairman,
thank
you
all
for
all
the
members
for
being
here
today
and
allowing
us
to
present
this
bill.
So
House,
Bill
29
is
a
good
bill.
It's
it's
Unique
in
that
it
doesn't
add
one
word
to
our
statute.
It
actually
strikes
one
all
right,
so
we
don't
do
that
very
often.
O
So
in
Kentucky
we
have
five
veteran
cemeteries
and
to
be
interred
into
one
of
those
cemeteries.
You
must
be
a
Kentucky
resident
and
in
my
mind
you
know
if
you
have
served
your
country
and
wherever
you
want
to
push.
A
I
won't
fight,
it
I
believe
a
few
of
them
have
heard
this
last
year
there.
So
now,
with
such
a
short
presentation
there
do
we
have
any
questions
or
or
comments
or
everyone
representative
heart.
O
Deprive
you
that
opportunity,
pure
representative
I,
appreciate
that
so
by
striking
the
word
Kentucky
from
Kentucky
resident,
it's
going
to
make
a
department,
it's
going
to
make
these
cemeteries
eligible
for
federal
dollars
that
we
otherwise
would
not
be.
And
so,
when
the
department
looked
over
this,
it
was
estimated
within
10
years.
We
could
miss
out
between
10
to
20
million
dollars
of
funding
and
so
just
a
little
analysis
to
be
eligible
to
apply
for
those
funds.
A
K
A
And
this
this
is
vital
for
our
cemeteries
to
have
this
money
for
mowing
for
future
expansions
different
things
like
that,
and
if
you
don't
mind,
let
me
just
for
the
Public's
Al
Duncan.
Do
you
mind
just
commenting
just
briefly
kind
of
why
it's
so
important
in
some
of
the
expansions
that
we're
looking
at
doing
and
things
like
that.
Q
Sure
sure,
thank
you
all
for
allowing
us
to
speak
on
this
real
quickly.
2002,
we
entered
into
a
memorandum
of
understanding
with
the
national
cemetery
Administration.
We
built
five
cemeteries
with
this
program
and
during
those
five
cemeteries.
Q
The
national
cemetery
Administration
and
the
state
Cemetery
grants
program
gave
the
state
of
Kentucky
40.7
million
dollars
to
build
those
five
State
veterans,
cemeteries.
That
was
federal
funds,
not
a
dime
to
the
state
of
Kentucky.
So
in
return
we
took
them
and
what
we
want
to
do
is
be
able
to
continue
those
expansions
I
have
a
con
I,
have
an
expansion
in
representative
Thomas's
neck
of
the
woods
at
a
Kentucky
veterans-
cemetery
West
this
year
for
2.5
million
dollars.
Q
If
we
do
not
pass
this
this
year,
the
federal
government
has
stated
that
effective
one
January
of
2025
any
state
that
is
received
that
has
a
residency
requirement,
will
not
be
eligible
for
any
future
expansion
grants.
So,
with
that
being
said,
over
the
next
10
years,
we
will
lose
out
on
20
million
dollars.
Q
A
N
B
N
A
Aye
another
unanimous
one,
but
we'll
hear
it
on
the
floor
anyway.
Gentlemen.
Thank
you
all
for
being
here.
We
appreciate
some
of
y'all
being
here
from
DC
too,
so
we
appreciate
it
and
we'll
look
forward
to
hearing
this
on
the
floor.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
All
right
we're
going
to
move
into
our
third
item
and
last
we
did
have
one
more
agenda
item,
but
we're
gonna
keep
working
on
it.
It's
gonna
be
presented
next
week,
so
this
one
is
HB
226
and
Jared.
Oh
did
we
lose
them.
A
Now
I
heard
this
was
not
your
first
committee
that
you
had
to
present
to
this
is
like
your
third
or
so
isn't
it
or
so
a
second
you're,
a
seasoned
veteran
here?
A
Well
we're
glad
to
have
you
if
you
would
just
make
sure
each
one
of
your
guests
introduces
themselves
for
the
record
and
make
sure
those
green
lights
are
on
the
micro.
R
R
Proceed,
thank
you
Mr
chairman,
and
thank
you
to
the
committee
for
the
opportunity
to
present
House
Bill
226
before
you
today.
This
bill
is
going
to
abolish
a
non-functioning
board.
The
Kentucky
Community
crisis
response
board
and
it
is
basically
going
to
codify
in
State
Statute
the
actual
practice
in
the
field
of
the
department,
the
Department
of
Behavioral
Health,
administering
Behavioral
Health
mental
health,
related
Services
associated
with
crisis
response,
which
is
currently
in
the
statute
under
the
department
of
military
Affairs.
R
They
have
worked
with
the
cabinet
for
Family,
Health
and
Human
Services
to
to
draft
this
bill
and
and
again
codify
in
State
Statute,
the
actual
practice
in
the
field,
so
I'll
open
it
up
for
comments,
motion.
A
I
think
I
heard
a
motion
by
representative
Blanton
and
I'm
going
to
take
yours
Mark
as
a
second
there.
So
we
do
have
a
motion
in
a
second
but
I
believe
I
saw
representative
botanowski
had
a
question
and.
C
I
Of
a
crisis,
so
it
could
range
from
any
spectrum
of
that,
so
so
what
they
do
is
provide
immediate
response
to
those
First
Responders
that
that
have
a
need
so
the
flood
they
were.
They
were
very
active.
We
mobilized
them.
They
worked
out
of
our
shop
being
Kentucky
Department
of
Emergency
Management
and
deployed
their
assets
forward
in
response
to
those
those
requests,
the
the
goodness
of
of
putting
it
over
there,
where
it
should
be
with
the
mental
health
providers.
I
Is
they
also
responded
to
to
the
police
officer
that
was
killed
in
London
Kentucky
here
about
three
months
ago
and
and
they
would
never
have
been
activated
to
bond
to
that?
Had
it
stayed
over
in
our
shop,
so
it
it's?
It
got
us
out
of
the
middle
of
it
in
support
of
them.
Who
who
does
the
work
down
range
and
provides
more
services
for
those
First
Responders
from
an
individual
basis
to
a
emergency
like
we
have
with
the
floods
or
tornadoes.
F
Yeah
question:
how
will
this
affect
moving
it
from
one
Department
over
to
the
Cabinet
for
Health
and
Family
Services?
How
will
this
affect
that
cabinet
when
it
comes
to
anything
from
an
Administration
function?
Do
they
have
the
capacity?
Because
we
know
that
cabinet
is
already
struggling,
and
so,
while
it
does
maybe
make
sense
that
it
should
be
housed
there,
I
also
worry
about.
If
we
are
putting
an
additional
amount
of
workload
that
they
will
not
be
able
to
support
and
what
the
repercussions
could.
I
I
S
Absolutely-
and
we
have
actually
in
in
partnership
with
kyem,
been
responding
to
these
emergencies
since
August,
and
so
since
that
time,
as
General
Jones
replied,
we
we
were
in
London
within
hours
of
that
accident,
for
that
when
that
officer
died-
and
this
is
this-
is
right
in
line
with
the
work
we
do
and
really
we
have
staffed
up
at
this
point
to
make
sure
that
we
have
someone
who
is
coordinating,
that
we
have
adjusted
our
employee
position
descriptions
so
that
they
can
be
deployed
when
there
is
a
need
for
them,
either
in
a
disaster
situation
or
more
of
a
one-on-one
crisis
response
such
as
that
that
collision
with
that
officer
we
have
hired.
S
You
know:
we've
been
working
in
the
disaster
space
since
the
tornadoes
and
the
flooding
and
really
have
been
working
around
increasing
our
capacity
to
understand
and
deploy
in
regard
to
a
disaster
or
a
crisis.
At
this
point
so
we're
we
have
one
additional
new
staff,
but
that
is
for
the
most
part
everybody
else
is
is
taking
this
on
as
part
of
their
their
duties.
A
All
right:
well,
we
appreciate
y'all
bringing
this
to
us.
I
believe
this
passed
the
house
a
couple
years
ago
and
and
got
stuck
in
the
Senate,
so
gave
us
a
couple
more
years
to
fine
tune.
It
make
it
even
better.
There.
H
A
C
O
N
N
F
A
A
Aye
another
unanimous
Bill
awesome
we'll
look
forward
to
hearing
it
on
the
floor,
though
again
so.
Thank
you
all
for
being
here
members.
Is
there
any
questions
or
any
comments,
y'all
for
the
better
of
the
committee?
If
not,
we
will
be
having
a
meeting
next
Tuesday
at
nine
o'clock.
Also,
that's
a
good
sandwich
between
education
at
eight
and
a
r
at
10.
So
we'll
try
to
get
you
out
before
10..
If.
