Okay
with
that
explanation,
we
have
any
questions
or
comments
for
representative,
seeing
them
we're
voting
on
the
amendment
6-2-3-2,
those
in
favor,
say
aye
opposed
amendments
on
the
bill
and
the
way
you
explain
it,
the
amendment
does
make
the
bill.
Is
that
correct?
You
got
any
additional
statements.
A
A
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
chair
simply
put
this
bill
with
which
my
predecessor
carried
last
session,
while
productive
doesn't
go
far
enough
to
help.
Currently,
the
formula
only
gives,
and
and
if,
if
you,
if
you
look
admit
this,
this
is
the
sports
betting
part
of
the
money.
80
goes
to
the
lottery
15
to
general
coffers
and
then
five
percent
for
mental
health.
D
What
this
bill
does
is
take
two
percent
of
that
eighty
percent
of
the
online
sports
betting
taxes
and
goes
to
a
much
needed
help
at
our
at
risk,
youth
in
urban
and
rural
areas.
You
know
we
we
are
struggling.
You
know
there
there's
a
there's
epidemics
out
there
and
this
this
would
just
go
to
help
out
with
those
youth
programs.
It's
a
it's
a
pittance
in
the
amount
of
the
of
what
the
commission
has
and
there's
there's.
That
piece
could
be
well
utilized
in
our
rural
and
urban
areas.
A
D
A
A
Members
questions
comments,
questions
being
called
without
objection,
we're
voting
on
1508,
those
in
favor,
say
aye
opposed
the
eyes,
have
it
bill's
traveling
on
the
full
1508..
Thank
you,
mr
chair
and
committee
item.
Number
four
is
representative
or
house
bill
668
by
representative
freeman,
and
it
looks
like
you
do
have
an
amendment.
Is
that
correct?
A
E
1697,
that
is
correct,
okay,
so
this
amendment
was
worked
out
by
abc
distillers
and
all
the
other
stakeholders
and
really
what
it
does
is
it
reduces
the
administrative
paperwork,
burdens
on
manufacturers
and
wholesalers
and
retailers
when
consumer
tastings
are
conducted
at
retail
package
stores.
Currently,
the
only
way
for
a
product
to
be
available
at
the
retailer
is
for
the
wholesaler
to
deliver
that
product
directly
with
a
zero
dollar
invoice.
When
a
manufacturer
representative
wishes
to
be
present
at
such
a
consumer
tasting,
they
have
to
wait
until
the
wholesaler
delivers
the
product.
E
This
can
add
time
travel
to
both
manufacturer
wholesaler,
while
also
creating
a
potential
delay
for
the
retailer.
This
amendment
adds
an
option
whereby
the
manufacturer
can
coordinate
with
the
wholesaler
to
pick
up
the
product
directly
from
from
them
with
the
zero
invoice
and
take
it
with
them
to
the
retailer
for
tasting.
E
A
We've
got
a
question:
we're
voting
on
six
two,
nine
seven,
those
in
favor
say
aye
opposed
eyes.
Have
it.
The
amendment
goes
on
the
bill.
Any
additional
questions
on
questions
been
called
on.
668.
those
in
favor
say:
aye
opposed
you're
traveling
on
the
full
representative.
Thank
you,
sir,
and
now
we're
on
hb0872
by
representative
bricken.
F
Committee
again
house,
bill
872
is,
is
a
9-1-1
bill
and
again
after
I
have
a
few
remarks,
I
will
be
taking
this
bill
off
notice.
But
again,
this
bill
basically
would
require
the
state
emergency
management
board
to
develop
uniform
operating
guidelines
and
rules
for
all
the
911
districts
in
the
state
and
give
those
districts
five
years
to
implement
those
and
the
reason
for
this
bill.
F
There
are
several,
but
last
year
we
passed
house
joint
resolution
raising
the
monthly
911
fee
on
your
phone
lines
from
a
dollar
sixteen
to
a
dollar
fifty
that
was
roughly
a
25
million
dollar
fee
or
tax
to
the
citizens.
Citizens
of
our
state,
which
collectively
with
that
dollar
fifty
per
month,
generates
about
a
hundred
and
twenty
to
130
million
dollars
a
year.
F
F
So
the
monthly
phone
fees
that
we're
paying
roughly
just
covers
less
than
a
quarter
of
what
we
think
is
the
operating
cost
until
we
get
all
911
districts
operating
uniformly,
we'll,
never
know
what
the
cost
is
and
so
down
the
road.
When
we
get
requests
for
future
monthly
rate
increases,
we
should
know
that
why
we're
getting
those
costs
while
we're
getting
that
request
and
right
now
we
don't
know
and
again
I'm
I
want
to
be
on
the
record.
I
am
fully
for
911
district
operations
to
be
fully
funded.
F
F
I
think,
for
the
users
of
9-1-1
to
pay
that
fee
off
their
phone
bill
and
take
the
burden
off
the
property
tax
holders
in
our
state.
So
we
would
be
paying
a
service
fee
for
911
service
and
then
removing
the
property
tax
costs
to
the
citizens
of
our
state,
and
I
think
that's
the
proper
function,
but
until
we
know
and
get
a
uniform
operation
round,
one
one
we'll
never
get
there
so
we're
kicking.
This
can
down
the
road
with
I'm
until
we
address
it.
F
In
my
opinion,
the
state
ecb
board
has
totally
failed
in
their
role
to
lay
out
a
strategic
vision
and
plan
to
get
911
operations
up
and
ru,
not
up
and
running
running
in
a
uniform,
efficient
manner.
Again,
that's
that's
on
them,
but
we
as
legislators.
We
represent
the
citizens
of
our
state
and
I
think
we
should
and
again
this
legislation
more
than
likely
good,
lord
willing
will
probably
come
back
and
I'll
see
where
it
goes
next
year,
but
again
appreciate
y'all.
Listening
to
me
with
that,
mr
chairman,
I
take
this
bill
off
those.
A
G
Are
recognized
yeah.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I'd
like
a
question.
I
wanna
go
refer
back
to
your
comments
and
and
just
for
the
record,
so
everyone
out
out
there
in
la
la
land
is
going
to
know
this
and
help
me
understand
as
well.
You
when
you
said
40,
one
way,
60
percent
another
way,
further,
explain
that
if
you
would
chairman
okay
for
me,
you
are
a
recognizer.
Nobody.
F
G
F
By
that
they
carry
their
own
payroll,
they
they
almost
they
carry
really
all
their
costs,
so
they
operate
like
a
stand-alone
business
unit,
the
other
60
really
don't
their
payroll
is
either
carried
by
local
governments
and
therefore
it's
hidden
and
you
and
we
don't
know
what
it
is.
I
mean
no
one
seems
to
know
exactly
what
the
full
cost
of
those
911
operations
are
so
well.
G
G
Thank
you
very
admirable
of
you
to
to
continue
to
pursue
this,
and
that
this
is
something
that's
that's.
That's
that's
of
interest
is
me,
of
course,
as
well,
and
I
think
most
everyone
here
the
so.
How
do
we
again
your
approach?
How
do
we,
as
a
committee
approach,
do
you
turn
to
the
comptroller
for
assistance
and
who
do
you
turn
to
then
the
contract
in.
F
G
F
The
comptroller
is
looking
at
this.
We
there's
a
lot
of
issues.
The
lack
of
uniformity
in
the
financial
reporting
of
911
districts
is
is,
is
really
surprising,
so
the
comptroller
is
looking
at,
requiring
uniform
financial
reporting
and
disclosures
because
again
without
getting
into
the
financial
weeds
right.
G
F
F
A
A
B
A
B
B
I'm
almost
afraid
to
turn
around
how
close
is
he
all
right,
all
right,
yeah?
This
amendment
makes
the
bill
committee,
mr
chairman,
what
this
does
it's
geared
towards
the
smaller
wineries
wineries
that
produce
less
than
270
000
liters
of
wine
per
calendar
a
year,
and
what
this
would
do
this
would
allow
them
to
to
essentially
double
their
shipment
amounts
up
to
54
liters
of
wine
per
individual
per
calendar
a
year
that
equals
out
to
be
from
about
three
cases
of
wine
to
six
cases
of
wine
a
year.
So
this
is
what
this
does.
A
B
A
B
B
B
A
B
A
H
H
Unless
you
pour
it
the
way,
you
would
pour
it
there,
maybe
three
glasses
or
four.
Yes,
sir
committee:
every
year,
your
local
people
at
home
with
non-profits
they
can
petition
our
luster
as
secretary
of
state
to
do
a
charitable
gaming
event
and
this
bill.
The
only
thing
it
does
is
allow
them
to
also
do
bingo
at
these
gaming
events
that
happen
once
a
year
and
your
people
at
home
really
want
you
to
vote
for
this.
