With that, we have approved the minutes from Wednesday, July 1st, 2026. Today we don't have any board bills for review. We have no resolutions for review, and we have three items uh on our we have three discussion items, uh three different board bills to engross uh 34 amended as amended in committee, 41 as amended in committee, and uh floor substitute uh 50. I'm going to go in reverse order because we are double checking some uh things. Uh so Mr. Clerk, can you please walk us through uh board bill 50 substitute or floor substitute? Oh clerk, you're on mute. You're still on mute. Okay, can you hear me now? Yes. Okay. So basically the substitute and board bill 50, the original language included in that section, um these committee markets or commercial markets, and the amendment to that removed one of them. And so then the um floor bill put that section back. So basically the it took it back to the original intent of the original bill. So it um replaced the the amendment replaced, took out sections that shouldn't have um by mistake, and so the full board the the floor substitute put it back in. So the your question about was the amendment language correct.
