I just want to say your patience as we were getting everything together for this meeting this morning. Uh so we do not have any board bills to review. We do not have any resolutions to review, and today we will um take up engrossment of three bills, uh board bill 50 floor substitute, board bill 41 as amended in committee, and board bill 49 as amended on the floor. So uh each of you should have received last week a memo from uh the city counselor's office just uh going through and delineating the clear roles of uh what we're asking for legal review, which is legal review form, and just making sure that uh we clarified our engrossment process, which we wanted to do before we met again. Um so before we engross bills, I just want to ask if anybody on the committee has any questions regarding memo or process. All right, I will take silence as a no. So with that, I'm gonna bring uh clerk rogers up, and we're just gonna go through um the process that we have been, just noting that the legal uh review is a little bit different, and I'll discuss it as we go through it. We'll start with uh board bill 50, floor substitute. Yes, ma'am. All right, thank you, madam clerk. Um this bill have dates, figures, cross references, and citations uh been reviewed by the clerk staff and our financial analyst? Yes. And we have here uh legal review, but legal review is as to form, which is that is what they are required or that is what they uh are tasked with. Has um this has Board Bill 50 floor substitute been reviewed for form? Yes, all right. Um have the past amendments been incorporated and or rejected amendments are omitted? Correct. And have the amendments been incorporated accurately? Yes. Section numbering is accurate, yes. Exhibits and attachments are properly incorporated, yes, and the summary and bill text are formatted correctly. Yes. All right, with that, I will um see if anybody on the committee has questions, starting with Alderwoman Keys. No questions, thank you. Thank you, Alderwoman. Alderwoman Sanyer. Thank you. Thank you. Alder or Vice Chair Devoty. No questions. Great. I have no questions either. So based on uh what we've just gone through, I move that we engross board bill uh 50, floor substitute. Second previous roll. Hearing no objections for previous roll, uh we have engrossed board bill 50 floor substitute. Thank you. All right, moving along. We have Board Bill 41 as amended in committee. Uh gonna ask it's gonna seem a little redundant, but we're gonna try and move through this fast again.
