Senator Kadiz Wallace asked how 'news organization' is defined in L22 and whether the definition cross-references another statutory definition. Senator Ball acknowledged he would have to check on whether it uses the same language as other statutory definitions and was unable to answer immediately. Josh Schultz (Legislative Legal Services) clarified the definition is on page 3 of the bill (added in the House) and confirmed it is nowhere else in statute, making it new to the CRS. Senator Ball stated he would follow up with Senator Wallace on the matter separately.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We'll give you a minute to get down. Senator Weissman, we would love to hear about 11:34, sir. All right, thank you, Madam Chair and committee. I want to start by noting that I am covering for my co prime, Senator Amabile, today.…
