We are still having discussion on h seven six two, an act relating to the county and regional governance study committee. And thank you very much, Madam ranking for running up to the clerk and clarifying our foggy memories of the protocols here. And you discovered? I discovered that we do not technically have possession of fill. Therefore, we only need to do a straw poll. Cool. So we're leaning in the right direction here. As always. And I don't think I'm gonna waste one of my votes on a straw poll then because I have two left unless I don't think it need me. I don't think it counts because it's not a formal vote. Yes. Straw poll doesn't count as waste in a vote. Just getting them in after Yeah. Usually, I was told I wasn't allowed to do straw poll. It's a straw? Okay. Have Had to hold on. Kinda emphasizes how it's not a vote. And, like, the difference is literally nothing. So you should take your preference in my opinion. Yep. If you're fine holding off on this, representative Stone I'm fine. I'll save my two votes for something else. Okay. Cool. When I hear Salem. Hi, Salem. There he is. Sorry. He's weighing in on me, Amanda. It's like Salem, tell me how you feel about the senate. Yes. Right here. Oh. I do have to remind you of my locks. I know. Know. He's probably smiling. Nothing negative occurred. It could have been a favorable position. Yes. That's a favorable murmur. Thumbs. Yes. Alright. Folks, favorable thumbs on the senate proposal amendment. Alright. That is ten zero one. Thank you very much. I will speak to it on the floor. And that gives us some time till 10:20 where we're gonna have a committee discussion for a little while on the child care licensure bill S two zero six. So we take a lot of testimony on that. Haven't had any formally informal discussions. So we will take that up in seventeen minutes.
