Opposes the motion, saying certain lines could cause financial confusion for her county and asking for a no vote for now.
▶ Watch at 14:28Read what they said
Thank you Mr. Speaker. Um, I rise opposition because there is some lines in this lines 2 66 and 2 68 that are going to create some financial confusion for my kitty, for my county, for Tula County. And so, um, I'm not sure maybe if it's ready yet, uh, even though I voted for this, this before, it seems to be that there's some confusion within the county about whether this will actually be beneficial to them. And so I'm hoping that we can maybe go with a no vote now and wait until later. Thank you
H.B. 457 County Governance Modifications · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Asks whether the sponsor will yield to a series of questions.
▶ Watch at 15:07Read what they said
Thank you Mr. Speaker. Will this sponsor yield to a series of questions? Rep Sam Dunnigan, will you yield to a series of questions?
H.B. 457 County Governance Modifications · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Asks about a change in the notice requirements for annexing unincorporated islands, including the public hearing and posted notice, and which version of the bill the sponsor is comparing.
▶ Watch at 15:15Read what they said
Thank you Mr. Speaker. I'm looking at lines 2 28 from the original bill and it looks like, um, when we're talking about unincorporated islands being auto automatically annexed that before they were going to be able to have a public hearing and at least 14 days before the day of the hearing, uh, there would've been notice about that. And also posting notice in a place reasonably likely to give notice of a public hearing so people would actually be able to know what's going on and the fact that they're being annexed. But now it looks like they're just getting a written mail notice, um, letting them know that they are being annexed. And so I'm wondering if …
H.B. 457 County Governance Modifications · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Says residents would only receive a notice of annexation and asks whether they can do anything to stop it.
▶ Watch at 16:12Read what they said
Okay, thank you. So right now people are just gonna get a notice saying they're being incorporated into a new city and there's nothing they can do about it. No, that's Not how it works. Thank you
H.B. 457 County Governance Modifications · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Asks whether residents can act before a set date to stop an island from being annexed.
▶ Watch at 16:36Read what they said
So is there anything they can do to stop this? The people themselves rather than just the unincorporated area posting something before May 7th that they don't want to be incorporated?
H.B. 457 County Governance Modifications · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Asks for clarification that after receiving mailed notice, residents can go to their leaders to say they do not want to be annexed.
▶ Watch at 17:15Read what they said
Okay. Thank you Mr. Speaker. One more question. So just for clarification in here it, it said that the unincorporated area needed to let them know before May of 2027. Um, so you're saying after someone gets a mailed in notice, letting them know that they're going to be annexed, they can then go to their leaders and let them know that they do not want to be annexed. And that would stop that at that point
H.B. 457 County Governance Modifications · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Asks to confirm that islands can be opted out after mailed notice is given.
▶ Watch at 18:04Read what they said
They can opt them out after the mailed notice has been given. Is that correct?
H.B. 457 County Governance Modifications · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Says many constituents will not look at the map and believes they should be able to opt out after receiving mailed notice.
▶ Watch at 18:17Read what they said
I, I can appreciate that. I think most of our, um, constituents won't be following legislation closely enough to go nowhere to look at this map. So I think it's very important that they have the ability to opt out after receiving the mailed notice. Thank you.
S.B. 305 Hospital Quality Incentive Amendments · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Says she has a question about the bill's finances and asks to yield to the sponsor.
▶ Watch at 1:08:30Read what they said
Thank you Mr. Uh, Mr. Speaker Pro Tem. So just a question about the finances on this. Um, we'll, the sponsor yield Oh, thank you.
S.B. 305 Hospital Quality Incentive Amendments · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Asks what the 'match' in the bill's financing means and says she needs an explanation to feel comfortable with it.
▶ Watch at 1:08:42Read what they said
Sponsor yields. Thank you, Mr. Speaker Pro Tem. So there's quite a bit of money that's moving around because of this bill, and, and we said it's not costing the state anything, but then there was mention of a match, and I suppose I'm not understanding that. And so for me to feel good about this, I kind of need to know what you mean by match. Could you please explain that?
S.B. 305 Hospital Quality Incentive Amendments · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Asks whether the bill's federal matching funds mean only part of the spending is being shown.
▶ Watch at 1:10:38Read what they said
Yeah, it is. I with the sponsor yield to a couple more questions. Yes. Will the sponsor yield a series of questions? Yes. Sponsor yields. Okay. Thank you. So are you saying that in one area of our budget we are paying money, and then in this bill we're talking about federal money that's matching what we're paying somewhere else, so we're just only seeing half of the equation? Is that what you're saying?
S.B. 305 Hospital Quality Incentive Amendments · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Asks what the money must be used for in rural hospitals.
▶ Watch at 1:11:26Read what they said
Okay. Thank you. And then what exactly is this money going to be used for in the rural hospitals? Do they have specific things that they have to use this money for, or is it just kinda whatever they want?
S.B. 176 Landscaping Procurement Amendments · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Asks whether anything currently prevents agencies from buying electric equipment when their existing equipment wears out.
▶ Watch at 1:38:36Read what they said
Thank you. Um, is there anything right now that prevents them from buying electrical? Maybe weed eaters and mowers and stuff, if they wanted to, when their ones run out?
S.B. 176 Landscaping Procurement Amendments · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Asks again whether agencies could already buy this equipment if they wanted to.
▶ Watch at 1:39:07Read what they said
Okay. Yes. So are you saying that they already could buy those if they wanted to, then?
S.B. 176 Landscaping Procurement Amendments · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Says she likes electric trimmers and blowers but sees no need for the bill if agencies can already buy them, and opposes it.
▶ Watch at 1:39:14Read what they said
I actually love electrical weed eaters and leaf blowers and stuff like that, but if they can already do it, I don't know if I see a need, I'm probably opposed.
