[Senator Alison Clarkson]: Help to get to the final have Well, four we're back
[Senator Brian Collamore (Chair)]: to the subcommittee on government operations meeting.
[Senator Alison Clarkson]: Sorry. Good
[Senator Brian Collamore (Chair)]: golly, miss Molly. That's Thursday, January. This is our final, I hope, segment today. We're gonna take a look at the reports and repeals therein, if we so choose. Joining us is Tucker Anderson, our legislative counsel. So the committee did do a lot of this earlier, Tucker, while we were waiting. Not that that's your part of it. We have some questions on some of them. First one, the report on Superior Court public record cases, which is supposed to come from the court administrator's office. To our knowledge, we've never received that report. Is that true or?
[Tucker Anderson (Legislative Counsel)]: Yeah, so for the record, good afternoon, Tucker Anderson, Legislative Counsel. I am also not aware of that being sent to the General Assembly. That doesn't mean that the report was not created by the court administrator, just means that perhaps it was not submitted to the legislative report database. Before we go too much further, though, one that I would suggest, particularly if you're looking for these or you need answers from the agencies, is that House government operations has the exact same list, except they started on it at the end of last session, and they contacted every single public agency listed and asked for copies of the report, if they exist, and asked for those agencies' feedback on whether the report was ongoing, whether it had been submitted recently, any suggestions for relieving some of the administrative burden around some of these. They also pulled up all of the recent copies of those reports so that they could review them and see whether they were ever integrated into the committee's work. So that without duplicating a lot of that effort, it might be a way for you to find out some of this information is to go directly to house government operations. Okay.
[Senator Alison Clarkson]: Maybe we need to have a short joint meeting with HDO and come up with speed of their work.
[Senator Brian Collamore (Chair)]: Yes. Or just get their notes. We could put this on the agenda for next Tuesday. I'll contact chair Vyhovsky and see whether they we could spend fifteen, twenty minutes together in their room and come up with a combined repeal report.
[Senator Alison Clarkson]: Yeah. And maybe they could fill us in on each one of these because they've clearly done a lot of work on it.
[Tucker Anderson (Legislative Counsel)]: Yeah. Okay. Well, maybe that was carried out in their committee process, just so that you know the contact points. Representative Kate Nugent was the coordinator for the committee.
[Senator Alison Clarkson]: Okay.
[Tucker Anderson (Legislative Counsel)]: And then all of the committee members did independent investigations of two or three reports on the list
[Senator Brian Collamore (Chair)]: and then
[Tucker Anderson (Legislative Counsel)]: came back and reported to Kate and the committee on their
[Senator Brian Collamore (Chair)]: findings. Okay, so maybe I'll have Lynn get ahold of Kate.
[Senator Alison Clarkson]: Kate Nugent, M U G E N T. She's a a state representative and serves on house a house
[Senator Brian Collamore (Chair)]: And then if she's copy Matt Vyhovong, who's the chair, and see whether they might have time after the governor's budget address next Tuesday Oh. To meet with us in their room. It's a much larger room and go over the reports repeal report. I took right at you, maybe 03:30 to 04:30. Because you and I have a meeting at 04:30. You and I have
[Senator Alison Clarkson]: a meeting at 04:30 chairs. I think that's on Wednesdays. Tuesdays. Okay.
[Senator Brian Collamore (Chair)]: I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about
[Senator Alison Clarkson]: No. No. I'm just saying after the budget address
[Senator Brian Collamore (Chair)]: 02:30.
[Senator Alison Clarkson]: Oh, my god. That's right. It's 01:00. Sorry.
[Senator Brian Collamore (Chair)]: Was thinking some time. Sorry.
[Senator Alison Clarkson]: That's okay. Great idea.
[Senator Brian Collamore (Chair)]: Thank you. So at 02:30, following the governor's budget address next week, that would be great.
[Senator Alison Clarkson]: And then
[Senator Brian Collamore (Chair)]: we will be done with this, and we won't have to worry about that.
[Senator Alison Clarkson]: I'm at the grocery. Shut something off for our license. Beautiful.
[Senator Brian Collamore (Chair)]: Tucker, thank you for your brief appearance. It was very pleasurable and, have a nice rest of the day.
[Tucker Anderson (Legislative Counsel)]: Thank you, you all too. And if you need any assistance with the list of reports or background that you can't get from House government operations, please let me know. Tim and I did almost the exact same list of reports with you all last biennium, and we still have notes on what the committee discussed at that time that I can
[Senator Brian Collamore (Chair)]: give you also. Yes, Senator Clarkson?
[Senator Alison Clarkson]: Did House Commerce and House General do the same thing with all their reports? I
[Tucker Anderson (Legislative Counsel)]: am not aware. Do that they have their lists. So I can confirm
[Senator Alison Clarkson]: That's that they have been why we're gonna get sweater so we can make joint decisions. Thank you, Tucker. It's not even Friday. Look how punchy we are.
[Senator Brian Collamore (Chair)]: Okay. Committee, anything else? Do you want me to quickly go while we get tomorrow? We have tomorrow. We have next week's agenda kind of, I'd say 80% done. Great. Good. We could talk, thank you. We could talk tomorrow about that.
[Senator Alison Clarkson]: Well done.
[Senator Brian Collamore (Chair)]: Well, thank you. With that in mind, let's adjourn for the day. We'll see all of you tomorrow.
