A
D
C
A
President,
thank
you,
madam
secretary.
Please
let
the
record
reflect
that
all
members
are
present.
We
have
a
quorum
members
good
morning.
I
hope
everybody
had
a
great
and
restful
weekend.
You
had
some
time
to
spend
with
family
and
friends,
make
sure
you're
taking
care
of
yourselves
and
doing
things
outside
of
this
building.
A
It's
very
important
for
your
health.
This
morning
we
have
one
item
on
the
agenda
and
I'm
very
grateful
to
our
majority
leader.
As
you
all
know,
this
bill
dropped
on
thursday
and
she
was
ready
to
go
this
morning.
I
say
that
because
we
will
be
making
the
same
request
of
some
of
you.
Members
as
bills
are
dropping.
It's
just
go
time
and
we
don't
have
the
luxury
of
waiting
anymore.
A
So
I
think
the
majority
leader
is
setting
a
great
example
here
for
the
rest
of
the
team
to
follow.
Also,
I
I
know
today
is
an
international
day
of
the
woman
I
feel
like
in
the
nevada
state
legislature.
Every
day
is
international
day
of
the
woman,
as
we
have
a
woman
majority,
so
it's
just
normal
for
us,
but
I
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
and
say
thank
you
to
all
our
women
who
are
working
day
and
night
for
our
state.
A
A
Excuse
me
at
the
end
of
today's
meeting
and
those
of
you
wishing
to
testify
and
support
opposition
or
neutral
you'll,
be
able
to
do
that
at
the
conclusion
of
the
presentation
by
the
assembly
woman,
followed
by
questions
and
then
we'll
do
two
minutes
of
support
opposition
in
neutral.
A
F
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you,
chairman
flores,
for
the
ability
to
present
assembly
bill
196
to
you
today.
Thank
you,
so
much
members
of
government
affairs
for
entertaining
and
considering
this
bill.
This
bill
was
brought
to
me
by
one
great
constituent
that
I
have
in
my
district
that
you're
going
to
be
hearing
from
in
just
a
moment
miss
jennifer
richards
via
our
lieutenant
governor
kate
marshall,
lieutenant
governor
kate
marshall's
outside
of
my
district.
F
By
about
two
blocks,
however,
we
have
a
favorite
coffee
location
in
place
and,
in
the
course
of
meeting
up
and
talking
one
day
about
some
stuff
that
was
happening
and
happening
in
our
neighborhood.
She
said
you
know:
we've
got
this.
This
great
idea
from
this
miss
richards
who's,
a
constituent
of
yours
regarding
lactation
rooms
and
for
public
use
in
the
courts.
So
just
so
you
know
the
status
quo
of
what's
happening
is
we
do
have
some
precedent,
some
established
law
around
this.
F
So,
first
of
all,
it
was
a
couple
years
back
that
we
passed
a
law
requiring
public
bodies
in
the
state
to
provide
employees
with
the
space
that
is
clean,
relatively
clean
for
use
of
the
expression
of
milk
and
at
the
federal
level
you
have
a
requirement
that
certain
federal
buildings,
including
federal
courthouses,
have
to
be
able
to
provide
a
lactation
space
that
is
reasonably
clean
for
the
public
to
use.
Now
I
don't
live
in
the
world
of
the
courts.
I
have
to
be
honest
about
that.
F
I'm
I'm
a
social
worker
and
I've
been
working
for
the
past
decade
in
the
medical
field,
but
you're
going
to
be
hearing
today
from
ms
richards
and
lieutenant
governor,
our
lieutenant
governor
marshall,
who
have
their
stories
about
working
in
the
courts
as
new
mothers
and
the
the
how
hard
it
can
be
to
find
a
safe
and
clean
space
to
express
your
milk
and
how
it
ought
not
to
be
the
bathroom
for
a
myriad
of
reasons,
and
so
I'm
gonna
do
a
quick
walk
through
the
build
and
I'm
gonna.
F
Let
these
two
wonderful
advocates
talk
to
you
more
about
what's
happening.
Why
they?
Why
they?
We
believe
you
ought
to
support
the
bill
so
section
one.
You
can
see
that
we're
in
chapter
one
chapter
one
is
titled
the
judicial
department
generally.
So
that's
the
chapter
that
we're
in
you're
gonna
see
that
subsection
one
says
other
except
is
otherwise
provided,
provide
a
room
where
members
of
the
public
can
express
breast
milk.
So
this
would
be
the
application
to
the
public.
So
anyone
who's
in
that
building.
F
That
is
not
an
employee,
meaning
if
you're
there,
because
you're
a
very
good
citizen
who's
decided
to
come
in
and
participate
in
jury
duty
or
if
you
are
a
lawyer
who
is
not
employed
by
that
courthouse
but
you're
coming
into
that
courthouse
for
the
day
for
hearings,
so
those
would
be
the
members
of
the
public
and
then
you
see
subsection.
Two
and
subsection
two
is
important
to
me
because,
as
someone
who
used
to
sit
on
this
committee
and
chair
this
committee,
I
have
a
strong
empathy
for
not
putting
in
place
unfunded
mandates.
F
So
the
point
of
this
is
not
to
force
an
unreasonable
cost
or
onerous
boredom
of
onerous
laws
or
requirements
onto
our
judicial
and
municipal
and
district
courts.
Rather,
it
would
be
dedicate
a
space
if
you
can,
but
we're
not
looking
for
you
to
break
leases
and
find
a
new
space.
We're
not
looking
for
you
to
remodel
we're,
not
looking
for
you
to
incur
cost
in
this.
F
F
They
feel
pretty
confident
that
they
can
meet
this
because
we
have
strong
elected
female
judges
who
have
a
need
for
this
as
well.
A
number
of
them
have
organically
decided
to
dedicate
rooms,
but
we
do
run
into
a
problem
where
some
courts,
especially
on
their
very
busy
day,
good
example,
would
be
incline
village.
F
F
That
could
be
helpful
in
doing
a
cost
sharing
program
or
grant
with
some
of
the
local
courts
who
might
need
to
buy
an
lactation
pod
if
you've
gone
through
the
the
southern
nevada
airport
down
there
in
clark
county,
the
mccarran
airport,
you
will
have
seen
these
pods,
they
cost
just
under
ten
thousand
dollars
and
then
shipping,
so
they're
not
astronomically
expensive.
F
But
if
you're
a
small
court
in
rural
nevada
it
that
can
be
a
lot
of
money
to
come
up
with.
And
so
you
do
see
that
I
have
provided
an
amendment
for
the
consideration
of
some
teeny,
tiny,
federal
or
state
general
funds
in
order
to
do
a
matching
program
for
those
locations
that
would
really
if
they
wanted
to
honor.
The
spirit
of
the
spill
have
to
buy
a
lactation.
Pod
now
the
number
that
you
see
there
is
five
hundred
thousand
dollars.
It
will
not
be
that
much.
F
It
will
be
much
much
smaller
than
that.
That
number
was
based
on
the
back
of
the
the
napkin
factor.
Looking
at
our
number
of
district
justice
and
municipal
courts,
there
are
57
of
those
combined
total,
but
some
of
them
are
housed
within
each
other,
especially
in
rural
areas.
You'll
find
that
your
your
justice
court
and
your
municipal
quarter
house,
together
with
your
dust,
your
district
court,
so
we
don't
actually
need
and
in
the
worst
case
scenario
57
of
these
pods
out
there.
F
If
rooms
are
not
there
that
remo,
that
number
will
be
smaller,
but
I
wanted
to
get
the
language
attached
to
the
bill
just
so
that
we
have
the
ability
to
keep
that
conversation
going
and
see
if
grants
can
be
available
to
help
local
governments
with
the
attainment
of
the
school.
With
that
being
said,
chair,
I
think
I
will
defer
to
ms
richards
and
lieutenant
governor
marshall.
A
B
E
All
right,
since
I
think
miss
richards
will
have
much
to
say.
That
is
very
important.
I
will
keep
my
comments
short.
My
name
is
kate
marshall,
I'm
lieutenant
governor,
but
I'm
speaking
here
on
as
an
individual.
E
Thank
you
very
much
chair
and
members
of
the
committee
for
allowing
me
to
speak
today
on
what
I
consider
a
very,
very
important
issue.
I
had
two
children.
While
I
was
a
practicing
attorney
and
at
the
time,
if
I
wanted
to
keep
nursing
my
children,
there
was
no
place
in
the
courthouse
for
me
to
either
express
milk
or
nurse.
E
Just
to
give
you
an
example.
One
time
I
went
into
the
restroom
and
I
was
nursing
my
daughter
there
she's
very
noisy
at
the
time,
and
but
I
I
made
it
through
that
it
was
okay.
I
thought
everything
was
fine
and
I
came
out
and
there
was
a
long
line
of
women
waiting
and
listening,
for
which
I
was
you
know
embarrassed
and
to
to
go
and
to
ask
your
male
colleagues
for
a
place
was
also
to
me
very
uncomfortable.
E
I
I
took
my
work
very
seriously
as
I
still
do,
and
I
wanted
to
be
a
professional
and
I
didn't
necessarily
feel
it
was
appropriate
for
me
to
be
talking
to
my
counterparts
about
my
personal
issues
and
raising
my
children
having
a
place
that
was
there
that
that
I
could
go
to
without
having
to
go
through
that
rigamarole
without
having
to
come
out
and
realize
that
I
had
an
audience
of
strangers.
E
When
I
was
nursing,
I
I
think
would
just
be
a
godsend,
so
I
I'm
really
grateful
for
assemblywoman
teresa
adidas
thompson
for
bringing
this
bill,
and
I'm
really
really
grateful
for
jennifer
richards
for
bringing
it
to
our
attention
of
what
has
happened
in
other
communities
and
what
we
can
do
here.
So
I
would
ask
for
your
support
and
again
I
really
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
of
letting
me
speak
to
you
this
morning.
Thank
you.
H
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
chairman
flores
and
members
of
the
committee.
My
name
is
jennifer
richards.
I
live
in
assembly
district
27,
I'm
a
lawyer
and
I
am
a
new
mom,
I'm
appearing
today
as
a
private
citizen.
On
my
own
behalf,
I
would
like
to
thank
my
assembly
woman
majority
leader
benitez
thompson
for
sponsoring
this
bill.
I
would
also
like
to
thank
lieutenant
governor
marshall
for
her
leadership
and
working
on
this
legislation
to
provide
courthouses
with
lactation
spaces.
H
It
is
truly
a
privilege
and
an
honor
to
be
here
this
morning
in
the
company
of
our
nation's
first
female
majority
legislature,
diverse
representation
in
government
is
critically
important.
If
ab-196
is
passed,
nevada
would
become
the
second
state
in
the
nation
to
require
lactation
spaces
in
our
courthouses,
making
them
more
inclusive
and
accessible
for
everyone.
H
H
Lactation
rooms
will
promote
access
to
justice,
allowing
women,
jurors
witnesses
and
other
courthouse
patrons
to
come
to
the
court
with
the
comfort
of
knowing
that
they
will
have
an
appropriate
clean
place
to
pump
or
nurse
their
baby
building
on
the
foundation
of
the
nevada,
pregnant
workers,
fairness
act.
This
would
this
bill
will
help
make
our
courthouses
more
accessible.
H
H
The
american
academy
of
pediatrics
recommends
that
infants
are
exclusively
fed
breast
milk
for
the
first
six
months
of
life
and
that
breastfeeding
continues
for
the
first
year
from
others.
This
can
help
reduce
the
risk
of
postpartum
depression.
Breast
cancer
ovarian
cancer
type
2,
diabetes
and
osteoporosis
later
in
life
for
infants,
it
can
help
protect
them
from
childhood
illnesses,
infection,
asthma,
obesity
and,
as
we've
learned
during
the
clovid
19
pandemic,
mothers
will
produce
coping
antibodies
to
protect
their
babies
through
their
milk.
H
However,
despite
all
of
these
health
benefits
at
three
months,
postpartum
over
60
percent
of
nevada
women
are
no
longer
exclusively
breastfeeding
and
the
rates
continue
to
plummet
from
there.
Why?
Because
women
face
immense
barriers
to
breastfeed
for
decades,
women
across
the
country
have
had
to
express
their
milk
in
empty
rooms
at
courthouses.
Only
to
be
interrupted,
assuming
a
suitable
place
cannot
be
found.
H
While
motherhood
has
been
considered
a
barrier
to
women
entering
the
legal
field,
dedicated
lactation
rooms
and
courthouses
will
help
remove
that
barrier
in
nevada.
Women
make
up
34
of
the
legal
profession,
a
number
that
continues
to
rise
as
more
women
are
entering
and
graduating
from
law
school.
We
have
a
female
majority
supreme
court
and
in
clark
county
a
majority
of
female
judges
and,
of
course,
in
our
state,
women
make
up
approximately
half
of
the
population.
H
A
Again,
thank
you
to
all
three
of
you
for
your
willingness
to
ensure
that
we
could
hear
this
bill
on
such
a
fitting
day,
and
I
know
that
we
had
a
program
at
last
minute.
But
again
we
appreciate
you
stepping
up
with
that
members,
we'll
open
it
up
for
questions
and
we'll
start
off
with
assemblywoman
anderson.
I
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
don't
think
I
had
a
question,
but
I
can
think
of
one
pretty
easily.
I
I
know
that
this
is
a
very
important
element
and
I
was
very
proud
to
support
something
that
was
similar
to
this
in
most
of
our
public
areas.
So
I'm
surprised
that
this
is
not
already
being
covered
with
a
bill
that
passed.
I
I
believe
it
was
two
sessions
ago
that
had
to
do
with
our
public
entities
and
then
also
I
just
wanted
to
thank
lieutenant
governor
marshall
as
well
as
miss
richards
for
bringing
this
forward,
because
it
is
a
very
important
element
to
come
to
bring
up.
So
I
didn't
know
if
this
was
already
being
covered
in
some
of
the
elements
from
that
other
bill
that
was
brought
up
two
sessions
ago.
F
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
question
assembly
when
assemblywoman
anderson
threw
chairs
flores
to
you,
so
the
bill
that
was
passed
to
a
couple
sessions
back
established
the
right
for
an
employee
of
a
of
a
public
body
to
have
a
place
to
express
milk,
so
the
difference
between
what
we
have
on
the
law
already
and
then
this
bill
is
that
this
is
open
to
the
public,
so
that
for
the
public
who
are
entering
their
courthouses,
they
have
a
place
to
nurse
or
express
milk.
So
this
is.
F
This
is
unique
in
in
that
way
that
it's
specifically
about
the
public
and
not
the
employees
of
that
courthouse.
Thank.
I
J
Thomas,
thank
you,
mr
cheering
good
morning
to
all
that
was
almost
difficult
trying
to
unmute
myself.
Thank
you
so
much
for
this
presentation.
It
means
a
lot
as
I
have.
J
My
daughter
is
also
a
breast
feeding
mom,
and
I
know
that
the
trouble
that
she
goes
through
to
be
able
to
do
just
that
and
my
my
question
actually
assemblywoman
is
for
clarity
when
you
mention
ponds
and
I've
seen
the
pods
and
at
mccarran
if
air
terminal
and
what
I
wanted
to
find
out
these
pods,
do
they
come
with
chairs
a
working
surface
electrical
out,
let
water
so
that
moms
can
clean
up
when
they
need
to,
and
you
know
clean
up
their
babies
all
in
one
and
how
big
are
the
rooms?
J
F
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
question
through
chair
to
assembly,
woman,
thomas,
so
the
the
pods
that
you
see
used
in
southern
nevada.
I
think
that
there
are
five
or
six
or
five
or
six
of
them
throughout
southern
nevada.
They
they
do
have
a
chair
or
sitting
surface.
They
do
have
an
electrical
outlet,
which
is
the
biggest
thing
that
you
need
when
you
are
using
your
your
pump
and
the
thing
that
is
most
lacking
when
you
use
a
public
restroom,
because
a
public
restroom,
every
single
stall
does
not
have
an
outlet.
So
that's
why?
F
If
you're
left
to
pump
in
a
public
restroom,
you
are
typically
very
exposed
or
you
have
to
lock
everyone
else
out
or
you're,
just
the
most
comfortable
woman
in
the
world
with
you
know,
pumping
in
front
of
an
audience,
and
I
think
there
might
be
exactly
one
of
those
in
the
state
of
nevada.
I
don't
know,
but
I
think
most
of
us
would
like
the
privacy
that
comes
with
the
pod
over
a
public
bathroom.
They
do
not
have
water
systems,
and
so
you
can
see
here
that
we
did
not
include
water.
F
The
requirement
for
a
pod
to
have
water
in
there
now
I
am
not
obvious
to
all
of
the
vendors
who
have
all
of
the
products
out
there.
There
might
be
one,
but
we
just
know
that
the
additional
cost
that
would
be
incurred
to
run
plumbing
to
that
pod,
that
that
could
get
a
little
bit
more
costly,
and
so
the
idea
is
that
you
do
have
that
private
place,
to
express
milk
or
to
nurse
you
have
an
outlet,
but
then
the
the
rest
of
it.
F
You
might
have
to
use
the
bathroom
if
you're
gonna
hand
wash
your
your
pumping
items,
although
a
lot
of
moms
will
carry
sterile
wipes
to
clean
their
pumping
items
and
then
most
a
lot
of
moms
also
carry
little
cooler,
packs
or
freezers
for
their
expressed
milk.
But
ideally,
yes,
you
would
have
you
know
access
to
a
refrigerator.
Ideally,
you
would
have
access
to
clean
running
water,
but
absent
of
that,
we
can
at
least
give
you
a
place
to
express
your
milk
and
then
most
of
the
working
mamas
out.
J
A
Thank
you
assemblywoman
next,
we'll
go
to
assemblyman
matthews.
D
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
majority
leader,
venus
thompson,
lieutenant
governor
marshall,
ms
richards.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
presentation.
This
morning
I
just
had
a
question
seeking
some
clarification
on
the
meaning
and
intent
of
subsection.
Three,
which
says
nothing
in
this
section
shall
be
construed
to
authorize
the
person.
D
Dental
courthouse
the
person
is
not
authorized
sent
to
the
courthouse
is:
is
the
purpose
of
that
to
ensure
that
this
would
apply
to
those
who
are
already
in
the
courthouse,
for
you
know
official
business
either
they're
an
attorney
or
somebody
who's
already
there,
as
opposed
to
make
that
distinction
between
those
people,
as
opposed
to
somebody
just
coming
into
the
courthouse
expressly
for
the
purpose
of
using
what
are
these
rooms?
I
assume
that's
the
intent,
but
I
wanted
to
just
clarify
that
for
me.
Thank
you.
F
Thank
you
through
chairman
flores,
to
assemblyman
matthews.
That
is
exactly
right.
It
is
for
the
people
who
have
business
within
the
court
members
of
the
public
who
are
in
that
court
for
official
courthouse
business.
This
is
not
necessary.
This
is
not
to
create
a
public
a
station
that
is
public
to
anyone
that
would
just
necessarily
walk
in
off
of
the
street
or
for
specific
individuals
who
are
barred
for
using
from
entering
the
courthouse
for
one
reason
or
another.
F
C
Elliston,
thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
my
colleague
from
las
vegas.
I
think
she
hit
on
that
pretty
well
some
of
the
questions
about
the
water
stuff.
But
what
happens
if
somebody
has
one
of
the
courthouses
or
in
different
buildings
like
across
the
streets
and
whatever
so
they'd
have
to
have
one
in
every
building?
Is
that
is
that
correct,
like
the
district
court
might
be
on
one
side,
the
justice
court
might
be
on
the
other
side
and
and
then
you've
got
all
the
other
offices
that
are
in
there
also.
F
Thank
you
to
assemblyman
three
chair
floors
to
assemblyman
ellison,
so
the
the
goal
is
is
that
we
as
many
of
the
courts
that
can
accommodate
these,
ought
to
accommodate
them,
because
you
might
not
just
because
you're
in
a
district
court
doesn't
necessarily
mean
that
you
have
business
in
a
justice
court
or
just
because
you're
in
a
municipal
court
and
the
district
court
might
be
down
the
street.
That
doesn't
mean
that
you
necessarily
have
business
in
both
of
those
buildings
on
both
of
those
days.
F
You
know
that
the
courts
have
very
specific
roles
that
they
fulfill
and
you
might
be
any
in
a
municipal
court
or
civil
matters,
and
that
might
not
take
you
into
the
judicial
court
where
you
might
be
there
for
summary
eviction
or
temporary
protection,
or
whatever
reason
you
might
walk
into
a
justice
court
from
or
lawyers
on.
The
committee
could
probably
give
more
specific
examples,
but
that
that's
why
we
would
want
every
court
as
much
as
reasonably
possible
to
be
able
to
look
at
their
structures
their
room
and
provide
a
lactation
space.
F
C
C
F
Thank
you
for
the
question
through
chairman
flores
assemblyman
anderson,
mr
ellison.
If
you
look
in
section
1
line
21
of
bill,
so
we
specifically
define
bathrooms
out,
and
so
we
do
want
a
space
that
is
separate
from
a
restroom.
C
Okay,
okay!
Well,
I
think
that
this
could
be.
You
know,
met
you
know
without
water.
I
I
think
it
could
be
met
for
some
of
these
locations
in
in
rural
areas.
C
You
know,
I
think
some
of
the
problems
you
might
run
into
is
if
they
had
to
supply
water
and
that
kind
of
stuff
might
create
a
problem.
So,
okay.
Well,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam,
and
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
A
All
right,
thank
you,
assemblyman
next,
I'd
like
to
well
members.
I
don't
think
I
see
anybody
else,
but
please
feel
free
to
unmute
yourself
and
state
your
name
for
the
record.
If
I
accidentally
skipped
you,
I
don't
believe
we
have
any
additional
questions
at
this
time.
F
I
I
Is
there
any
sort
of
idea,
though,
if
that
need
for
the
one-time
appropriation,
if
that's
not
needed
quite
as
high,
would
that
that
money
go
then
to
a
different
account
to
help
with
the
upkeep
of
it,
or
is
it
just
only
going
to
be
the
building
that
that
you
are
considered
considering
at
this
time,
and
I'm
also
going
to
allow
chair
flores
to
make
the
decision
whether
or
not
that
is
appropriate
for
this
committee
to
discuss,
since
this
is
more
about
the
policy,
but
thank
you
so
much
for
considering
the
money
as
well
majority
leader,
benitez.
F
Chairman
flores,
I'm
happy
to
answer,
because
I
think
that
it
supports
probably
the
overarching
policy
of
not
wanting
to
have
unfunded
mandates
pushed
down.
That
just
is
kind
of
something
that
I
I
like
to
steer
clear
of.
If
I
can
so
to
assemblywoman
anderson.
So
the
idea
being
that
that
number
would
probably
calm
down.
I
don't
think
that
we
have
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
laying
around
that's,
not
purposeful
for
other
uses
in
the
state
general
fund,
but
it,
but
not
knowing
exactly
what.
F
That
number
is,
because
we
are
still
working
through
the
process
with
the
counties
about
which
courts
might
need
help.
So
this
number
was
based
with
the
assumption,
in
the
worst
case
scenario,
that
all
57
courts
needed
their
own
individual
pod.
They
could
not
at
all
plan
for
this
space,
but
we
know
that.
That's
not
true.
We
know
it's
not
true
by
half.
F
We
know
that
there's
just
a
couple
of
specific
spots
where,
where
we
might
need
some
help,
and
so
that
number
will
probably
be
refined
down
more
you'll,
just
see
that
that
number
whittled
down
and
the
idea
would
be
just
a
one-time,
little
chunk
of
money
to
go
to
those
courts
where
they
are
struggling
to
meet
the
intent
of
this
bill.
And
then
you'll
you'll
see
that
section
three
does
have
an
effective
date
of
january
1
2020.
F
I
A
And
thank
you
members
for
your
questions.
Should
you
have
any
questions
at
the
conclusion
of
the
presentation?
Please
feel
free
to
bring
them
up
at
that
point
at
this
time,
I'd
like
to
invite
those
wishing
to
speak
in
support
of
assembly
bill
196.
A
G

Good
morning,
members
of
the
committee,
my
name,
is
jimmy
lau
with
ferrari
public
affairs
representing
dignity,
health,
st
rose
dominican.
We
wanted
to
go
on
record
and
support.
We.
We
support
the
expansion
of
the
ability
for
women
to
have
safe
spaces
in
order
to
provide
nourishing
breast
milk
to
their
children,
and
we
thank
you
for
your
time.
A
G
G
G
G
B
Good
morning,
chairman
and
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
john
pirro
j-o-h-n-p-I-r-o
from
the
clark
county
public
defender's
office,
we'd
like
to
thank
the
assembly
woman
for
bringing
this
bill
forward,
and
we
are
in
full
support.
This
seems
like
a
big
no-brainer
and
I'm
glad
that
this
bill
is
being
brought
forward.
Thank
you.
That
concludes
my
testimony.
A
G
K
K
According
to
the
state
bar
of
nevada,
35
of
the
attorneys
in
washoe
county
are
women.
I've
personally
had
a
member
of
a
jury
on
a
criminal
trial
that
I
conducted,
who
needed
to
be
able
to
use
these
facilities.
So
we
appreciate
this
bill
to
ensure
that
attorneys
and
the
public
who
are
in
our
courthouses
are
able
to
have
access
to
these
important
facilities,
and
I
know
that
some
courts
already
have
it,
and
we
appreciate
that,
and
we
just
hope
that
this
is
able
to
continue
to
benefit
all
nevadans.
K
I
would
just
note
that,
due
to
coven
19,
there
are
already
concerns
that
female
attorneys
will
be
leaving
and
forced
to
leave
the
legal
profession.
So
we
appreciate
this
as
another
way
to
ensure
that
those
female
attorneys,
as
well
as
members
of
the
public,
are
able
to
be
in
the
courthouse
and
have
those
facilities
available.
Thank
you.
A
G
K
K
Okay,
sorry,
I
was
having
technical
difficulties
again:
jamie
rodriguez,
that's
j-a-m-I-e,.
K
R
r-o-d-r-I
g:
u
ez!
We
want
to
thank
the
majority
leader
for
bringing
forward
this
bill
and,
speaking
with
us
about
it
last
week
we
are
in
support.
Our
second
judicial
district
court
has
had
to
specify
room
for
public
use
for
quite
some
time,
both
our
reno
and
sparks
justice
courts,
while
they
do
not
have
a
specified
room,
do
always
make
sure
that
they
have
a
room
open
and
available
for
such
uses
every
day
within
their
court.
We
do,
as
the
majority
leader
stated
during
her
presentation
of
the
bill.
K
Our
incline
justice
in
claim
village.
Excuse
me,
justice
court
does
have
space
most
days.
However,
there
are
some
days
approximately
one
day
a
week
that
they
would
not
have
any
space,
and
so
we
do
appreciate
the
amendment.
K
However,
just
want
to
highlight
that
for
cases
such
as
the
incline
village,
justice
court,
that
is
not
within
a
county
building
and
so
not
sure
if
a
pod
would
be
able
to
work
in
that
space,
and
so
there
is
a
potential
that
we
would
have
to
look
at
expanding
our
lease,
which
would
have
a
long-term
fiscal
impact
on
the
county.
However,
we
believe
with
the
permissiveness
and
the
timeline
of
the
bill,
that's
something
that
we
can
hopefully
work
through
to
ensure
that
space
is
available
in
that
court
as
well
five
days
a
week.
K
G
L
Good
morning
my
name

on
behalf
of
the
city

vegas.
We
would
like
to
state
for
the
record
that
we
are
indeed
in
support
of
ab196
and
would
like
to
thank
the
assembly
woman
for
bringing
forward
this
piece
of
legislation.

just
wanted
to
go
on
the
record
this
morning.
Thank
the
majority
leader
very
much
for
reaching
out
to
us
on
this
bill
counties
do
fund
our
justice
and
district
courts,
and
because
of
that,
we
appreciate
the
flexibility
provided
in
section
2,
as
well
as
the
amendment
that
would
provide
some
funding
for
any
needed
retrofits
to
courthouses,
to
provide
for
the
areas
for
nursing
mothers
or
to
purchase
this
pod
to
purchase
a
pod,
and
we
also
appreciate
the
intent
of
this
legislation
to
support
nursing
mothers.
G
L
Good
morning,
chair
flores,
this
is
joanna
jacob
j-o-a-n-n-a-j-a-c-o-b
government
affairs
manager
with
clark
county.
I
wanted
to
echo
the
comments
of
nico
and
thank
the
majority
leader
for
reaching
out
to
counties
in
advance
of
this
hearing
and
the
flexibility
that
is
in
section
two
and
the
amendment
that
has
been
proposed.
We
are
currently
working
with
her
to
gather
the
information
that
she
has
requested
in
order
to
find
out
how
to
comply
with
this,
but
we
believe
that
we
will
be
able
to
find
some
room
many
of
our
justice
courts.
L
Would
you
have
a
room
that
can
be
repurposed?
We
have
some
logistics
that
we
need
to
work
through.
We
also
support
the
intent
of
this
bill.
There
has
been
some
mention
of
the
pods
at
mccarran
airport,
that
is
in
clark,
county
department
of
aviation
they're
in
three
locations
throughout
mccarran
and
happy
to
send
a
link
to
the
committee,
mr
chairman.
L
A
And
thank
you
if
you
could.
Please
send
that
to
our
our
committee
manager.
Miss
judy
bishop
and
she'll
make
sure
to
get
that
out
to
all
the
members.
If
we
could
go
to
the
next
caller
wishing
to
testify
in
the
neutral
position
for
assembly
bill,
196.
A
Thank
you,
and
with
that
majority
leader
and
lieutenant
governor,
if
you'd
like
to
come
back
and
any
closing
remarks,
you
may
have.
F
F
We
will
continue
the
work
to
make
sure
that
this
is
a
good
fit
for
local
governments
and
for
the
courts,
but
ultimately
that
we
have
good
policy
supporting
our
our
lactating
and
nursing
population
out
there.
A
Thank
you
majority
leader
at
this
time
again.
Thank
you
all
three
of
you
for
your
presentation
this
morning,
I'd
like
to
close
out
the
hearing
on
assembly
bill
196,
and
at
this
time,
I'd
like
to
invite
those
wishing
speak
in
public
comment
to
please
join
us
now.
I
want
to
remind
you,
as
you're
dialing,
in
that
this
is
not
a
time
to
rehear
a
bill.
This
is
a
time
for
you
to
speak
about
general
matters
that
pertain
to
this
committee,
and
I
ask
that
you
please
limit
your
remarks
in
two
minutes.
A
A
Thank
you.
Well
members
again,
thank
you
for
joining
us
this
morning
and
your
questions.
You
heard
it
directly
from
our
majority
leader,
the
the
best
committee
in
the
in
the
building.
I
think
you
all
better
wear
that
with
the
badge
of
honor,
so
tomorrow
we'll
be
meeting
at
9am
as
you're
aware,
our
very
own
assemblyman
ellison
will
be
presenting
assemblybill99.
A
I
encourage
you
to
reach
out
to
him
ahead
of
time.
Should
you
have
any
preemptive
questions
you'd
like
to
discuss
otherwise
we'll
take
care
of
it
on
the
record,
and
I
look
forward
to
that
hearing,
as
I
am
confident
we'll
have
ample
folk
on
both
sides
of
that
conversation
wishing
to
be
heard
and
provide
some
insight
to
the
committee.
So
members
again,
thank
you
for
everything
I
will
see
you
tomorrow
morning
at
9am.
This
meeting
is.
