  1. 0:06:37

    Rules Committee, February 26th, 2026, in the year of our Lord. Dr. Kay, would you lead us in a word of prayer, please?

  2. 0:06:47

    Sure. Dear Heavenly Father, you know that the days are getting long and we're all tired, and we ask for your safety and your, uh, help in helping us to remain calm and pursue what your will is with, um, wisdom, justice, moderation, and courage. In Jesus' name, amen.

  3. 0:07:16

    Amen.

  4. 0:07:17

    Amen.

  5. 0:07:18

    That's good.

  6. 0:07:19

    All right, let's see some bills.

  7. 0:07:29

    Any members not on the committee on there? I don't see any. Ah.

  8. 0:07:32

    Yes, sir.

  9. 0:07:33

    Senator Harbin, come on up.

  10. 0:07:36

    I got two bills today.

  11. 0:07:37

    You had two today.

  12. 0:07:38

    Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Appreciate it.

  13. 0:07:40

    You coming back begging for more.

  14. 0:07:42

    Begging for more, sir. Yes, sir.

  15. 0:07:43

    All right.

  16. 0:07:45

    Thank you.

  17. 0:07:45

    What you got?

  18. 0:07:46

    Uh-

  19. 0:07:47

    261.

  20. 0:07:48

    261. Yes, sir. Magistrate judges are still out there wanting to retire, but they want to put their own boards... They want to ch- choose their boards, and it doesn't require any state money. It's just them wanting to put more money away, and then we need to amend that to allow them to do that. Uh, SB425 is a really good bill and it is required cursive writing, not to be con- uh, confused with cursing, but just cursive writing that would be taught where someone could put down their signature, somebody can read the Founding Fathers' documents. Uh, and that'd be mandatory. It's done, uh, in some schools and not in others.

  21. 0:08:20

    Uh, third page, top, second down, is the, um, is an Airbnb, uh, um, bill that deals with this. Right now, when you rent out your house, this is just property damage only. You have an issue, uh, they have a guarantee that's written. What this does, it makes them have insurance as a backstop to their guarantee. That's all it is.

  22. 0:08:42

    All right.

  23. 0:08:42

    Good consumer protection.

  24. 0:08:44

    We've got a question from the senator from the 29th.

  25. 0:08:47

    Thank you. Um, Senator Harbin, on the, uh, 261, how early... What, what's their current retirement age?

  26. 0:08:56

    Uh, current retirement age, and I don't have it in my b- uh, it's 60, and it goes to 55, but if they go to 55, it's a 3% reduction for every year that they're not at 60.

  27. 0:09:07

    Do, do all of our judges retire at 55?

  28. 0:09:10

    I'm not sure on that one, sir.

  29. 0:09:11

    Thank you.

  30. 0:09:13

    I'd like to retire at 55.

  31. 0:09:15

    Mm.

  32. 0:09:17

    I'd like to retire at 63. That's helpful.

  33. 0:09:21

    Question, Senator Dolezal?

  34. 0:09:23

    Thank you. Um, Chair Harbin, uh, the, this, you said it'd be 85% if they retire at 55. Is there a COLA then that's involved?

  35. 0:09:30

    I don't believe there's a COLA, uh, to that plan.

  36. 0:09:34

    Judicial Retirement System.

  37. 0:09:35

    Is that, is that in the Judicial Retirement System or is it-

  38. 0:09:37

    This is in the magistrate. It's, it's, it's separate, as I understand it. It's a totally separate plan. I've got there.

  39. 0:09:44

    Can you, can you come back to us when you do come back to us, Senator-

  40. 0:09:47

    Okay

  41. 0:09:47

    ... uh, on that, uh, COLA answer?

  42. 0:09:50

    I'll give you the COLA answer.

  43. 0:09:51

    If you don't mind. Thank you.

  44. 0:09:58

    Anything y'all want to share with the rest of us?

  45. 0:10:01

    We do. I'm trying to make sure we have a quorum for a 5:00 committee today, so I hate to slow this one down. Let, let's get the train rolling again.

  46. 0:10:08

    You want to get it moving quick?

  47. 0:10:10

    Let's move them. Choo choo.

  48. 0:10:12

    All right. All right, we can go speed mode. All right, you're done.

  49. 0:10:16

    Thank you.

  50. 0:10:16

    Senator Summers. We're in speed mode now. Oh, oh, oh, by the way, my secretary has been promoted to vice-chairman today.

  51. 0:10:27

    Ooh.

  52. 0:10:27

    So- I would love for you to come over here and sit.

  53. 0:10:31

    Slow this thing down a little bit then. Let me enjoy. I thought you meant-

  54. 0:10:37

    Well, you know, after, after the vice-chairman tried to usurp me last week, or two weeks ago... Yeah, last week, he tried to take all my power, and then he took over the president of the Senate's power. We, uh, we sent him on home early this week. So all right, Senator Summers.

  55. 0:10:58

    Madam Vice Chairman, 443 is a great little bill. Thank you so much.

  56. 0:11:01

    Did you say Madam Vice Chairman?

  57. 0:11:02

    I repeat just what you said. She's vice-chairman, isn't it?

  58. 0:11:06

    No, I didn't.

  59. 0:11:07

    Yeah, we were taking it literally.

  60. 0:11:08

    How did I confuse the two?

  61. 0:11:10

    I don't know.

  62. 0:11:11

    She's not a secretary. She's a legislative assistant. Formerly known as a-

  63. 0:11:17

    I made a promotion

  64. 0:11:18

    ... a administrative assistant.

    Can you say that into the microphone? Goodness gracious.

    What's the will of the committee? Bill did pass. I got a motion from a president who's been standing all day, and thankfully gets to sit down. I got a second from Senator Anderson, who didn't yawn when he said it. Is there any further discussion? All in favor say aye. Aye. All opposed say nay. Motion carries unanimous. Get to your committees. Meeting adjourned.
