Gennaro asks Avery about temperature-sensitive cargo and passenger comfort
Gennaro asks Avery to finish his point about 561-A. Avery says the bill exempts temperature-sensitive cargo and asks that human passengers be treated as temperature-sensitive too, especially in extreme heat or cold.
Before I pose questions to this panel, if I call Josh up for a second, I have to just come up to the dais.
I just have to talk to you.
Just come up to the front here.
What's that?
No, no, no.
It was just I need a candy bar.
It's a sugar thing.
So and.
Mr.
Avery, right, I want to ask you about your testimony.
You were just on the cusp of telling me something that you think I should know, and I want to ask you what that is.
Yeah, just addressing the specifics of 561, if I'm correct, I believe it expands the definition of processing device.
And it also exempts systems that, quote, control the environment of temperature-sensitive cargo.
I would ask that you consider that human beings be considered temperature-sensitive cargo.
To put human beings in a bus that's over 100 degrees because it's been sitting in the hot sun where the windows can't come down and we can't, you know, the driver can't turn the air conditioning on for an appropriate amount of time, that's...
Yeah, because, like, we're doing that for school buses and stuff.
Right.
Right.
Same thing on the cold side.
Okay, let me just hang out.
Let me just talk to counsel for a second.
Yeah, I just want to clarify a point with her, you know, regarding.
Regarding Patrick's testimony, but she made that clear to me.
And I want to thank this panel for all the value added that you've provided to it.
Yeah, the whole bus thing, you know, how we handle that.
And so thank you.
And we look forward to being in touch with everybody on this panel on how we can proceed along lines of excellence.
Sounds like something a politician would say, but that's actually what I mean.
Okay.
Thank you all very much.
Appreciate it.
Thank you.
We're happy to follow up.
Thank you.
Thank you.
