Okay, shall we stand and pledge allegiance?

The chair calls up Senate Bill 980, which deals with PFAS and firefighting equipment. The chair moves that Senate Bill 980 be reported out with the recommendation that it be re-referred to the Veterans and Emergency Preparedness Committee. Now, the reason for this is that, A, this is a bill that Chairman Jared Solomon has asked me to move to his committee. He's invested a lot of time in it. And, two, I think that the initial referral to this committee may have been in error. So in any event, this is simply a re-referral. Is there any discussion on this bill at this point? Okay. Seeing no requests for discussion those wishing to report Senate Bill 980 out with the re recommendation We vote aye Those opposed vote no Are there any negative votes Hearing none the bill passes out unanimously. Chair Rader, I know we have a number of hearings and voting
meetings left, but did you have any thoughts today? Well, I will, and very quickly I'll say happy birthday to Representative Bachelard because he told me to do that. But as far as concerned, working with you, Representative...
We'll go.
Just in case we don't have another one. I did briefly say it before. I want to reiterate it. It's been great working with you. We don't want to agree, but we can civilly talk to each other and work together. So thank you for that. I think you've been my most civil co-chair. So on
that, we will adjourn the meeting. Okay. Thank you.
