Good afternoon, Mr. Chair. Good afternoon committee. Thank you for taking the time to, uh, hear this bill. So, HB two 40 carbon dioxide amendment was brought to me by our Fire Marshal Association. We are with this carbon dioxide. We are talking about the big tanks, the ones that are over a hundred pounds. We're not talking about the smaller ones in restaurants that are less than that. I just wanna make that very clear right now. Um, this bill is about public safety, employee safety, and making it more expedient for businesses who do have these large carbon dioxide tanks to get, um, certified. So, so they can move on with their business. So what this addresses is …

Asked where kratom should be sold if not in age-restricted, regulated smoke shops.
▶ Watch at 2:33:14Read what they said
Thank you, Mr. Vice Chair. If a smoke shop where it's regulated to make sure that, uh, uh, only 21 and over can have access to it, if that's not the right place to sell it, where would the correct place be? Excuse me. You, you just made the comment that you said you do not want to go to a smoke shop to have to buy this. So if a smoke shop where it's regulated, where it requires you to have a proper id, a valid ID to be 21 and over to purchase it at the smoke shop,

▶ Watch at 1:16:59Read what they said
Thank you, Mr. Chair. I, I have a couple of comments, really. So, we recently in the house passed a bill by representative Corinne Peterson that made it so that the, um, truth and taxation process is more transparent in the passed 72 0, now it's in the Senate for consideration. And that was an important legislation to make sure that that, uh, constituents, that people who live in the communities know when, when, and why taxes are being raised and get to give their public comment when it comes to property tax. That is the only taxing control that cities, uh, have to be able to really control, you know, have for their budget, generate funds to pay for …
H.B. 294 Employer Verification Amendments · House Business, Labor, and Commerce Committee · Feb 18, 2026
Said protecting identities is important and that the bill, which lowers the threshold from 150 to 100, is one of several identity theft bills.
▶ Watch at 51:13Read what they said
Thank you. Thank you, representative Wynn. Thank you, Mr. Vice Chair. And I thank you for bringing this bill forward. I know that, you know, our children's identity absolutely is paramount. There are a lot of bills out there right now that do tackle identity theft, and I think those are warranted. Those are needed to make sure that not just our children, but any, any citizens, any Utahans identities are protected with this bill lowering the amount from one 50 to a hundred.
H.B. 294 Employer Verification Amendments · House Business, Labor, and Commerce Committee · Feb 18, 2026
Said trade associations would not speak against the 150 threshold, that 150 is working to address identity fraud, and that the bill is an unfunded mandate without enforcement teeth.
▶ Watch at 1:15:04Read what they said
Yes, I would. Thank you. In the conversations I've had with a lot of different trade associations and business commerce chambers, a lot of them said they, you know, out of respect, they would not come speak against it. They do not want to see the numbers change from one 50. They believe that at one 50 it is doing the job it needs to do to really, um, to clamp down on, on, uh, fraudulent uses of, of identity. So, and at one 50, it wouldn't hinder some of these small businesses. And I, if we are looking to really fix identity theft, I would more than welcome more, more policies looking into how we can strengthen that in …

Thank you, Mr. Chair and Thinking committee. Hopefully this one will move a lot faster for you guys here. Um, HB 33 51, a school vision screening amendment. It's a simple bill. It does two things. Well, let me give a little context. Right now. As many of you know, in schools, we require children to get a tier one vision screening, which is a great thing. That's where we're able to, for a lot of families. Some of these kids is their first vision screening ever, and we're able to catch kids early on to see and diagnose if there is a potential issue, uh, where we mandate our schools to do this. School nurses are not able to …

▶ Watch at 1:07:55Read what they said
Thank you. HB two 40 Carbon Dioxide Amendment is a bill that will allow state fire marshals to be able to create and, uh, create a program where third parties can come in to certify the bulk, uh, big systems that, uh, have the carbon dioxide dispensers. So a lot of us know we love our fizz and sewage companies, those companies that do high volume carbon dioxides. They have these huge tanks that have to be installed and certified by, by a license, uh, group right now, currently Utah is one of the last states that requires fire marshals to come in and do these installations and certifications. This bill will make it so that fire marshals can create …
