Thank you Mr. Speaker. Uh, I just want to rise in support of the language that was crafted and just plainly state that the house dominated the Senate in this and got what we wanted. So ask for your support. Thank

▶ Watch at 1:56:02Read what they said
Uh, Mr. Speaker, this is a bill we were looking at yesterday. There was amendment made, uh, that the sponsor is going to make again. Um, there were some questions about whether or not it had followed the process to be put in this omnibus Sunset. Bill, and I'm open to any questions.
S.B. 12 Sunset and Repeal Date Amendments · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Thanks colleagues, says the omnibus bill includes a lot of work usually spent on separate bills, and asks for support.
▶ Watch at 1:58:04Read what they said
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Uh, colleagues, I didn't think I would ever get to run an omnibus bill unless I made it to Congress, but I'm excited about this one. Uh, we have taken a lot of work and time that we usually spend on these types of bills and put it in this one and I'd ask for your support.
S.B. 156 Constable Amendments · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Says the bill lets a constable set up a payment plan with a person instead of seizing their property, and states he will take no questions.
▶ Watch at 3:27:06Read what they said
Thank you Mr. Speaker. This bill just allows for a constable to set up a payment plan with someone instead of seizing their property. And since we learned about the history of constables the other night, I will be taking zero questions.
H.B. 366 Judicial Modifications · House floor debate (day 44) · Mar 5, 2026
Asks whether the fiscal note figures assume the trigger takes effect.
▶ Watch at 11:24Read what they said
Thank you Mr. Speaker. So I'm looking here at the fiscal note. Um, are these numbers based on the trigger going into effect?
H.B. 366 Judicial Modifications · House floor debate (day 44) · Mar 5, 2026
Asks why the $1,500 filing fee is higher than the regular district court filing fee.
▶ Watch at 11:43Read what they said
A follow up question that's unrelated. So it looks like here, filing fee on a type of case if this were to go into effect is $1,500. Is there a reason that's more than the regular district court filing fee?
H.B. 366 Judicial Modifications · House floor debate (day 44) · Mar 5, 2026
Raises concerns about the filing fee and the bill's changes, prefers the earlier constitutional court bill, and urges not concurring so the bill can go back to the Senate.
▶ Watch at 12:54Read what they said
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Uh, colleagues, I do have some concerns about this iteration of the bill. Um, one, I feel like we ended up in a really good place with the constitutional court bill. Um, that was, you know, a lot more supported by the stakeholders involved. Um, I also do have some concerns about the filing fee and, and I say that knowing full well that attorney's fees are outrageous and it's very hypocritical of me to say this, but I think we should not be putting barriers into place when people want to file lawsuits and challenge bills. We have methods in place to cut out the frivolity of certain suits. Uh, but I, I think we …
H.B. 565 City Library Property Tax Amendments · House floor debate (day 44) · Mar 5, 2026
Says the amendments are House amendments made in the Senate, changing the bill's effective date at the request of the tax commission.
▶ Watch at 12:58Read what they said
Yes, I would. Um, and I wanna be clear that these are not Senate amendments. They are house amendments made in the Senate. It was just language that the tax commission requested about the effective date on the bill.
S.B. 12 Sunset and Repeal Date Amendments · House floor debate (day 44) · Mar 5, 2026

S.B. 12 Sunset and Repeal Date Amendments · House floor debate (day 44) · Mar 5, 2026
Says the sunset extensions were combined into one bill to reduce committee and floor time, and that the substitute adds some that were missed.
▶ Watch at 1:59:46Read what they said
I would love to. Colleagues. When I started here eight years ago, we ran a separate bill for every Sunset extension and it was super exciting and it took a ton of committee time and it took a ton of time on the floor and we were trying to minimize this process by putting them all into one bill. So substitute two just includes some that we missed.

S.B. 12 Sunset and Repeal Date Amendments · House floor debate (day 44) · Mar 5, 2026
Says the bill includes important extensions, including alternative dispute resolution, which helps people resolve court matters more quickly and inexpensively; opens the floor to questions.

Thank you Mr. Speaker. Now this is a bill that has a lot of really important extensions. Um, all of these things are issues that we've worked on that still have work to be done. Um, specifically I am interested in the alternative dispute resolution. It's a way for people to get their court matters resolved more quickly and more inexpensive. And, um, all these things are ones that had bills supporting them in extending them. And Senator Weiler just gave me the opportunity to present on all of them. So open to any questions.
