A

Go live, let me know, and why does okay? This is getting better. It had a oh okay! That's why all right! Thank you! uh So, let's get started mark. Would you take role? Please.

B

Representative Banks here representative Conrad, here representative heiner,.

A

B

Representative Knapp excused yes excused representative Larson here, representative Lolly.

A

B

Representative Tarver representative Western, chairman Burkhart here. Thank you thank.

A

You Mark, so president Driscoll, you know the drill. I, don't have to remind you of anything and walk us through your bill because we're just going to have uh representative Western do this. He uh was thankful that you showed up.

C

It's a tough Bill, yes,.

A

I we see that please proceed.

C

Mr, chairman committee, uh thank you very much. uh First off uh chairman Burkhardt I would like to give a heartfelt thank to representative Lawley for her work on my bill on the floor. I heard one I didn't get, go back and watch it, but I heard wonderful things so I. Thank you. You always uh always kind of take your life in your hands. With someone new doing one of your bills and, like I, said I I. Thank you a lot. uh Maybe.

A

I bring this on file.

C

173 financial institutions, similar names- uh this is really just a very simple bill- is brought To Us by the banking industry and what it really does is uh you go back in the old days and the statutes and you go to the heart of it. On page, two line. Eight and the name of proposed financial institution does not resemble closely as cause confusion, naming any other financial institution, transacting business and it used to say County and the old statutes we've done at State, because as well know, you know the old days.

C

Wyoming County Banks were were County Banks, and now we really don't have hardly any County. Banks left they're all Statewide, and it stops confusion as similar names that you might have a bank. That sounds like a National Bank chain that is not or otherwise, and this does it and then it hadn't, a committee Amendment came through on it, and uh that is on page three and it does the exact same thing: we'd done the language when we did the special purpose, depository institutions, which is.

B

C

Part uh same conforming language stat, and with that, that's that's the bill. It's pretty tough I hope that representative Western doesn't screw it up because it can be you you're, capable of fumbling the ball I'm sure. With that I'd stand for questions.

A

Any any questions for president remain your decorum. Over there I see you look on your face.

A

Any questions. Okay, thank you, Mr President. Thank you, I'm, going to run I'm supposed to be upstairs. Okay, we understand that we delayed the governor a little bit for you. Okay,.

C

All right, okay,.

A

So, okay, so let's see any public testimony just come on up both of you.

A

Mr Meyer, you might as well come up too. You don't have to hide in the back of the room.

C

We can see you.

A

Just while you're getting ready uh staff, could you see if you can get a hold of uh him? Okay, never.

D

A

Yeah: okay, come on in Senator, we'll take your bill up next.

A

I know you're trying to get through the crowd in the room today, so so Mr Bishop Mr Myers, whichever one of you wants to go proceed.

E

Good morning, uh Jeremiah Bishop, State banking, commissioner, this one's pretty short so I, don't have a whole lot to say. I know this came from the banking industry just a little bit of a background. uh This is changing one of the factors that the bank board must uh consider when approving a new Charter uh there's multiple other ones. This is just one of them. um Like the sponsor said it's his chain, it's a very small chain, changing it from state to County.

E

We did bring the amendment in the committee on the other side just doing the exact same thing in chapter five with which is for our trust companies, mainly because we haven't chartered an actual bank under uh the first uh chapter, two in I, don't know about 15 years. We do trust companies all the time, so it just made sense to have it the same language for banks, trust companies and spdis.

E

um That's really all the comments I have, but if there's any questions.

A

Any questions for commissioner Bishop any questions: okay,.

D

Mr Meyer your turn. Thank you. Mr chairman Scott, Meyer, Wyoming, Bankers, Association we'd. Ask that this bill be brought only just because we are starting to see some confusion going on uh even like between Carbon County and Converse County, with some of the banks that were being named along with the trust companies. So we think you know, as as technology has improved and we are doing more intra, State banking, but not just in inter-county, but the whole state that this made a lot of sense so certainly stand for any questions. Any questions for Mr.

A

Meyer, okay, thank you. Any other public comment. Senator. Do you want to comment on this bill? uh Senate file 173 before your own? No okay! Thank you. Okay, with that I'll close public testimony committee moved by Lolly seconded by Larson any discussion.

A

Do I hear the question being called okay question being called We're voting on Senate file, 173 financial institutions, similar names Mark, if you'd call role, please representative.

B

Banks aye representative Conrad aye representative heiner, aye representative Larson, aye representative Lawley, aye representative Tarver, aye, representative Western, aye, chairman Burkhart, aye,.

B

A

Sunfile 173 financial institution, similar names, has passed the minerals committee, uh I guess, uh representative Western is volunteering to take this on the floor. You can handle it. Do you want to do this before or like I can? Do it too yeah? No, you can do it.

A

I only take those hard bills that have three word changes with that uh next bill for a consideration is Senate file, 139, unlawful use of a credit card or debit card. Senator Cole. Please come up sorry for the confusion on uh the order. These were in I walked in to find out that everybody wanted their order changed and everybody wanted to be first, so you at least got to be second proceed.

A

Thank you. You need a copy.

F

Of the bill, no I've got pretty well got to memorize.

E

It has been total.

C

F

uh Mr, chairman and members of the committee on uh the order of things so I've got this pretty well memorized, I'd, hope and I can answer questions this bill basically expands the. uh Would you introduce yourself for the record? Please uh Senator uh John Kolb 100 District 12., please proceed. Thank you. Mr chairman.

F

The bill basically expands the definition of a fraud uh by using uh typically it was just a credit card in the past and through Court Supreme.

C

F

Note on on a case, my County attorney had contacted me and asked that I would possibly run a bill to clean this up. So it's a it's a fairly simple fix. All it does is expand the the that fraud to uh bank cards and debit cards, and it puts it in the same class as a credit card. And, ironically, we have this uh definition in what's under skimmers, which is another type of fraud, you can put upon a fuel pump, it's there, but it never apparently got here.

F

So this is just a simple cleanup that adds the definitions of what those frauds are, so they can actually charge a crime for using those um vehicles in in a.

C

F

A theft and that's uh that's really about it and I'll stand for questions. Mr, chairman.

A

Questions for Senator Cole, any questions ready, okay, Senator just bear with us, then. Okay, thank you. uh I'll, open public health testimony and I'll close public testimony.

A

It's that easy I mean there's nobody else in the room, so committee.

A
