So
I
I
do
intend
to
take
the
the
the
agenda
in
the
order.
It
appears
so
we'll
go
down
the
work
session
document
exactly
as
you
see
it,
I
I
do
know
for
a
fact
that
there
are
numerous
humans
who
are
trying
to
get
into
the
building
right
now.
A
So
I
do
ask
that
if
you
once
you've
had
your
two
or
three
bills
that
you're
working
on
or
if
it's
your
one
bill,
I
do
ask
that
you
please
vacate
the
seat
so
that
we
could
allow
that
other
individual
to
come
in
and,
as
I
know,
there's
some
folk
that
have
worked
on
some
amendments
and
namely
they
want
to
make
sure
that
we
get
them
in
in
here
in
case,
there's
any
questions
for
them.
A
So
with
that
said,
members
thank
you
all
for
reaching
out
and
giving
me
a
heads
up
of
where
everybody's
at
so
that
we
can
avoid
any
situations
for
this
morning.

off

you
wishing
to
join
us

public
comment.

We

proposes

amend
the

delete
the

the

and
instead
provide

one
additional

to
the

who
is
an
employee
in
the
classified

Thank
you,
chair
senate
bill
372
revises
provisions
related
to
injury
caused
by
fire.
This
bill
was
sponsored
by
the
senate
committee
on
health
and
human
services
and
heard
on
april
22nd.
The
bill
limits
those
to
those
caused
by
an
open
flame
explosion
or
flash
fire.
The
types
of
burn
injuries
for
which
a
health
care
provider
is
required
to
report
to
either
local
or
state
fire
authorities
for
investigation.
C
The
bill
also
extends
the
timeline
for
submitting
such
reports
from
three
to
seven
working
days
requires
that
in
counties
with
populations
under
a
hundred
thousand
people
that
such
reports
are
to
be
submitted
to
the
state
fire
marshal
on
a
forum
approved
by
the
state
fire
marshal
and
provides
that
a
fire
department
may
rather
than
shall
investigate
such
a
report.
We
have
no
amendments
on
this
measure.
Thank
you,

Members
that
completes
our
work
session
document
for
today.
Please
note
that
we
will
be
meeting
tomorrow
before
we
make
our
way
into
public
comment.
I
know
that
the
agenda
has
not
been
listed,
but
please
note
we
will
be
meeting
tomorrow
morning
at
9am.
A
We
are
still
finalizing
the
agenda,
but
please
be
on
the
lookout
for
that
at
this
time,
we'll
open
it
up
for
public
comment.
I
want
to
remind
those
of
you
wishing
to
join
us
for
public
comment
that
this
is
the
time
for
you
to
speak
about
general
matters
that
fall
within
the
purview
of
this
committee.
It
is
not
a
time
to
reopen
a
hearing.

Good
morning
chris
bailey
d-a-l-y
nevada
state
education
association.
Last
week
I
addressed
this
committee
on
the
collective
bargaining
process
between
school
districts
and
educator
unions.
As
I
mentioned,
if
changes
aren't
made
to
existing
statute,
new
rules
will
take
effect
on
july
1st
to
wall
off
over
half
a
billion
dollars
in
the
collective
bargaining
process.
This
will
make
it
nearly
impossible
for
education
unions
to
negotiate
any
item
with
the
cost
through
the
collective
bargaining
process
this
morning
I'll
be
reading.
A
couple
of
comments
from
our
members
will
be
impacted
by
this
change.
D
Selena
larue
hatch
is
a
social
studies
teacher
in
the
washoe
county,
school
district
and
wa
board
member.
She
writes.
I
urge
you
to
end
the
anti-union
ending
fund
balance
language
that
allows
districts
to
wall
off
up
to
16.6
of
their
operating
budget
from
collective
bargaining.
There's
no
legitimate
reason.
This
needs
to
be
part
of
the
funding
plan
and
only
ensures
that
educators
across
the
state
will
no
longer
be
able
to
collectively
bargain
for
improvements
to
education
or
their
profession.
D
You
have
already
pushed
your
educators
past
our
limits
this
past
year
our
workloads
have
doubled
or
even
tripled,
and
we
have
risked
our
lives
in
health
to
keep
students
learning.
Sadly,
at
the
same
time,
our
voices
have
been
silenced
as
we've
been
shut
out
of
every
major
policy
decision.
This
body,
as
this
body
chose
to
slash
our
budgets
to
the
bone.
The
fact
that
you
want
to
add
this
suffering
with
an
absurd
in-fund
balance
requirement
demonstrates
a
severe
lack
of
care
or
understanding
from
our
leaders.
D
Clearly,
you
understand
that
people
can
only
be
pushed
so
far
before
they
break.
However,
this
pain
can
easily
be
avoided.
All
it
requires
is
a
small
change.
The
new
funding
formula
remove
the
harmful
language
which
walls
off
16
of
a
district
budget
and
allow
educators
to
continue
to
bargain
in
good
faith
without
arbitrary
and
artificial
restrictions.
D
Carmen
andrews
is
a
spanish
teacher
in
the
clark
county
school
district
and
vice
president
of
the
near
southern
nevada.
She
writes,
while
the
intentions
of
sp543,
I
think
we're
good
in
practice.
It
is
not
good
by
increasing
the
income
balance
of
16.6
you're,
effectively
killing
collective
bargaining.
What
did
the
state
of
nevada
take
from
educators
to
keep
collective
bargaining
the
right
to
strike?
D
Go
ahead
change
the
income
balance
to
16.6
percent
violate
the
deal
that
the
state
made
with
educators
in
good
faith,
and
I
wonder
what
might
happen
if
you
break
this
deal,
so
I
hope
members
of
this
committee,
charged
with
oversight
of
section
288
of
the
nrs,
are
able
to
help
remedy
this
issue,
so
nevada
can
continue
to
enjoy
labor
peace
in
public
education.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
A
Thank
you
broadcast
members.
Thank
you
for
coming
in
prepared
today.
I
know
we

quite
a
bit
of
documents
on
the
work
session,
so
I
appreciate
everybody
and
collaborating
with
us
and
letting
us
know
where
everybody's
at
to
to
make
sure
that
process
goes
smoothly
again,
we'll
be
back
in
here
tomorrow
morning
at
9
a.m.
I
know
that
the
agenda
has
not
been
posted,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we
will
for

the
work

this
meeting's.
