A committee member expressed apprehension that not addressing search warrants could lead to significant issues. The member emphasized the importance of considering these implications as the committee prepares for further discussions on the matter. The urgency of the situation was highlighted, with a call for prompt action on related legislative items to adhere to established timelines.

The meeting underscored the committee's commitment to thorough deliberation on legal provisions that impact law enforcement and civil liberties. As the committee moves forward, the focus will remain on ensuring that all aspects of the proposed legislation are carefully evaluated to prevent any adverse effects on the judicial process.
