[Tim Devon (Legislative Counsel)]: We are live.
[Sen. Andrew Perchlik (Chair)]: Live. Center appropriations, May 12. We're going through bills. Today, we're gonna do h nine zero seven, h nine thirty seven. We have counselor, counsel here to talk to us about this, but I don't think there's any let's any appropriations in the. There's you're here to prepare them.
[Tim Devon (Legislative Counsel)]: Thank you very much for having me with me, members. For the record, my name's Tim Devon, vice president of council. Indeed, you have, let's see, draft 3.2, with H907 as the committee of government operations is in store. For, initially confirmed that there are no appropriations in this film. I'd be happy to kind of give an overview of what the bill entails if you guys interested. You can
[Sen. Andrew Perchlik (Chair)]: just give us, without going section by section, confirm. I think I know what it is, but yeah, that's a lot of
[Tim Devon (Legislative Counsel)]: Not a problem. Just for reference, to BSA, section 20, through the statute, the General Assembly established an intent to repeal certain reporting requirements after five years, but it actually doesn't automatically reveal any reports that are provided to the legislature on an annual or bi annual basis with any kind of periodic reporting period. But what it does do is, so I've established that intent in accordance with our office, that is the Office of Legislative Counsel, the preparing list of those reports which have kind of gone past that five year period, and certain members may recall, my colleague, Attorney Patrick Anderson, sends out at some point early on each year just kind of a planning list to each committee with various reports of how long they've been last considered for repeal or permanent installment or how the men make the block. This bill was a product of one of those less, largely the House Government Operations consideration of various reports in federal and their purviews. So the bill then was kind of broken into four or five kind of general areas. One is repeal of the reporting requirements in entirety, going through what reports were considered obsolete, more or less, and removed those from either session or a statute or a vantage period. Also, batch of reports decided to extend the review until 2030, meaning that the letters of the bill, when we prepare our list, we won't really include those on that, those reports in certain reports until the study here comes with the training. Then we have reports which are just exempted from two VSA, Exemption 2080, meaning that they won't need to be reviewed really ever again, unless the legislature forgives court. They'll again go on to that list on that report. And then we have reports modified, so, everybody's considered that instead of wanting to receive a report every year, every two years, something of that nature. So it's probably here because of per diems for a study committee or something? Not even. There's a reference to a report in appropriation, but it occurred in 2010, and there's just a report right next to it, the same study. That's my big theory. Alright. Any questions about
[Sen. Andrew Perchlik (Chair)]: what reports we're getting rid of? Concerns? I'll move the bill saying.
[Tim Devon (Legislative Counsel)]: I know. Help you. Get rid of twice.

[Sen. Andrew Perchlik (Chair)]: I can report our report. I could say, unless we pass it without recommendation. Less than amendments. What is Negative. Is that
[Tim Devon (Legislative Counsel)]: a veggie? I mean, you can report in the strict last, let the council if there was any good point. It's not. Okay. Does your No. Smells good? Yes. Don't get a really good taste.
[Sen. Andrew Perchlik (Chair)]: No. I've done. So we all we'll go on break and tell, you know, Miles.
