Good morning, members welcome to calendar and rules. Mr clerk, please call the roll.

A

Thank you, mr clerk members. Any personal orders before we get rolling all right, seeing none members. Let me make some introductions since this is our first official meeting. We did meet once during special session, but let me make some quick introductions, so we know who all the players are here behind the scenes that make this thing: roll I'm going to start out with our committee interns, which are ethan gossett and aubry sales they're back in the corner from the clerk's office. uh Everybody knows daniel hicks, our parliamentarian jake rose.

A

uh We have holly evans and caroline morkel caroline did I say that right, markle got that right, fantastic and then to my left. We have janice bryson that runs the 14th district of west knox county and also we have our sergeant-at-arms reuben sanders. Reuben's down there in front everybody knows reuben. Did I miss anybody that everybody all right members a couple of quick announcements before we get started?

A

It is extremely important that you understand the makeup of this committee. This is a committee made up primarily of chairman and leadership. So when you come to this committee, you must be prepared to present your bill. This is a firewall committee and there will be. There are chairmen that are looking at your bill, and this is the last line of defense before you get to the house floor, so you must be ready to present your bill. We had 20 plus bills that did not make it out of calendar and rules in the 111th.

A

So don't let don't let that happen to you as you come to the as you come through the 112th um and then.

A

Finally, if you have a special request, if you have a special request, not not a special request for the consent calendar, but if you have a special request for wednesday's calendar or thursday's calendar or two weeks from now, you have to have those to us by wednesday at three o'clock wednesday, at three o'clock, we will not take special requests for the calendar on the morning of calendar and rules, because that creates chaos within my notes that are already chaotic anyway. So with that being said, members we're going to get started first up.

A

You have two calendars. All this is on your dashboard. You have two calendars. Our first that we're going to take up is the consent calendar, it's the consent calendar and I'm going to recognize chairman reagan for a quick explanation on the consent calendar chairman reagan. Thank you, mr chairman. We have a motion in a second uh consent counters properly before us, chairman reagan, you're recognized.

C

Ladies and gentlemen, most of you know already, but for the new people, calendar rules is responsible for all the sunset reviews of the executive agencies in our government, all of them and this that takes place most of the time during the summer months when we're out of session the bills. However, uh that you see before you are either extending or killing, if that's the case, uh the exec, the executive agencies uh that we have reviewed just for your information.

C

These agencies are given audits or have to submit questionnaires that the comptroller's office of audit has given to them. They come before the subcommittees of government operations and must justify their existence and answer the questions or those subcommittees will recommend to the main committee main government option committee, the joint government ops committee, that they not be continued these after these two filters. It then goes to the house government operations committee and the senate government operations committee.

C

I review those things if there's been no problems presented during their sunset explanations in the summer time, I put them on the house consent calendar, which is then sent to the.
