Representative Robbins said the proposal responds to concerns about commercial DNA services and future uses of genetic data.

\"So what that would be is we have a first degree and second degree. First degree is basically where you take someone's genetic material without their consent and second is when you use their genetic material without their consent,\" Robbins said. He said the bill would carve out exceptions for law enforcement, HIPAA-covered entities and public universities.

Committee members raised detailed questions about ownership of samples, what constitutes \"expressed consent,\" and whether the statute targets physical material (hair, swabs) or genetic data extracted and stored by companies. Representative Robbins said \"expressed consent\" could be written or evidenced by actions and that, under his drafting, taking material alone would not be a crime unless the material were analyzed and the genetic data used without consent.

A senator noted that Florida has enacted similar legislation; the sponsor said he was aware of Florida's law. Committee members asked about realistic misuse scenarios, such as hacked commercial accounts and use of genetic information by insurers or marketers. The sponsor responded that concerns include both theft of valuable data and unauthorized use that could affect insurance, marketing or other future technologies.

At the close of the discussion, the committee clerk called the roll and the transcript records the clerk announcing \"Aye\" votes and a later mention of \"72,\" after which the committee gave HB449 a favorable report.

The sponsor and committee members discussed several interpretive details that the sponsor said could be refined in drafting before the bill moves forward.","HB449 would create crimes for taking genetic material without consent and for using genetic material without consent; sponsor said it mirrors a Florida law and includes exceptions for law enforcement, HIPAA, and public universities.

Committee members raised procedural concerns. Several senators said circuit and district court practices vary across jurisdictions; one senator noted that in some counties a circuit judge conducts the early Anya's Law hearing (often within 72 hours) and that later preliminary hearings in district court can produce different outcomes, including different determinations about probable cause or bond. Questions focused on whether the bill would curtail a defendant's opportunity to have a preliminary hearing or to present evidence before a different judge.

Representative Tillman acknowledged those concerns and told the committee he was willing to work on the language. \"I'd like to carry on and try to work and see if we can figure out more definite terms with that,\" he said. Committee members and the sponsor agreed to continue discussions; no final committee report or vote on the bill was recorded in the provided excerpt.

The sponsor said the intent was to reduce duplicative procedures where probable cause has already been found at the Anya's Law hearing and to avoid inefficient transfers between judges, but senators and a defense-practice member stressed that a preliminary hearing can serve distinct evidentiary and defense-preparation purposes.

Representative Tillman indicated he would return with revised language for further committee consideration.","HB537 would change post-Anya's Law procedures so a defendant may be bound over to a grand jury after the hearing; senators raised concerns about eliminating preliminary hearings and differing county practices, and the sponsor said he will carry the bill to work on clarifying language.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6559600,"Committee backs HB527 to limit operator liability at off-roading parks, requires $3 million insurance and signage",47,441000,488000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3200135-fceb0d6556d26275c4ef71aca4b017c0&start=441&end=488","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3200135-fceb0d6556d26275c4ef71aca4b017c0/thumbnail_441000.jpg","/articles/6559600/Alabama/Committee-backs-HB527-to-limit-operator-liability-at-off-roading-parks-requires-3-million-insurance-and-signage","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6559600-1bc06c615442842731dd98a9fccd1c7e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770829280&Signature=RwdziEVXXiWDT279r-~JUDlriU8ShLVMpPPr6Tn6pjSBHBrWJffCzwaXEDqBRUA9x7z9F9tejZ6PZzITKGhombaXG7PrKiJZpY7N~psuigM-If96VVE2AJWcsDcSOCTXH1xiOALa~ikvFcO0w5VfOoXpgtDT8vGTF6Yu8c44UV7l4HMYzTKc~bsDEhA20Q7CzD3XkStfcaIXk0QT-UmSVwws8ThIP8R8HXWhmWyzfixFZd5FmMGwujNproSPZLc1YXiuf5bTOFenasDMtHbhCVVb3SbdpqcENuTizyFNWk~xNvrrN7rL7MOCqSOqTh25a4z-zGroNOSGjA2a6XQbMw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A Senate committee reported HB527 favorably after hearing from Representative Hope Jones, who said the bill \"creates limits of liability to the person that operates an off roading park, claims due to the fact that it's an inherent risk.\" Jones told the committee the proposal \"mirrors the equine world\" by limiting operator liability while requiring operators to post specific signage and carry liability insurance.

Representative Jones said the bill also \"does require specific signage as in the equine world and does require them to have liability insurance, 3,000,000.\" The sponsor characterized the measure as aligning off-roading parks with liability limitations long used in horse-related activities.

Franklin Johnson, identified as with Realtors, told the committee, \"This HP474 is an update to the squatter bill passed last year. It clarifies\" jurisdictional questions.

The measure, as described by Johnson, is intended to resolve implementation problems where affidavits brought to law enforcement were sometimes rejected. Johnson said the revision clarifies that affidavits \"can't just [be] outright reject[ed],\" and expands the provision so it can be used for vacant land or commercial property.

The change matters, supporters said, because county and municipal law enforcement had applied the prior language inconsistently. \"We found from implementation issues when someone was to bring an affidavit into the law enforcement,\" Johnson said, explaining the need for the clarification.

Senator Givens stated she supported the bill but expressed concern about the proposed definition of \"power of attorney\" and said she was likely to offer an amendment that would limit the definition's scope to this section only. A committee staff member replied that the definition had been pulled from another section.

Committee staff called the roll after a motion and second for a favorable report; the clerk announced \"8 in favor.\" The committee gave HP474 a favorable report to the full body for further consideration.

The committee then moved to the next agenda item.","Committee favorably reported HP474, a revision to last year's squatter statute clarifying law-enforcement responsibilities and expanding applicability to vacant and commercial property; an amendment on the definition of power of attorney was signaled.","actionData","errors"]
