in reply to Blake C. Stacey • • •... Hearing has begun. Over 125 witnesses have signed up to testify across all the 41 bills being considered today. The one for which I am slated to testify is slated for later because not many signed up (?).
They are livestreaming and claim they'll post a recording after the meeting is done, so I probably won't try to be exhaustive.

The Secretary has gone over his time limit and is only talking about cell phone bans in school (section 1 of H.666, not the lunatic section 2).
