House Judiciary, Rules and Administration Committee
Key Moments
Ted Hill — Ted Hill is introduced and presents R.S. 3-2-914, then participates in a sustained discussion of the bill’s purpose and practical implications.

John Shirts — Asks a question about the bill and says he supports it.
John Shirts — Said the proposal does not appear to be a criminal statute and that it gives the Department of Corrections authority to implement the no-fly zone.
John Shirts — Name appears in a transcription error as 'Representative Schurz.'

John Gannon — Indicated he saw no further red lights and moved the discussion forward.
