A
Present,
thank
you
secretary.
Please
let
the
record
reflect
that
assemblywoman
torres
is
absent
excused.
Should

her
way
in
a
little
bit
later
in
the
meeting
please
marker.
As
present,
we
do
have
a
quorum
good
morning.
Members
happy
friday.
I
know
everybody's
excited
about
that.
I
want
to
remind
everybody.
Please
keep
your
microphone
on
mute
unless
you
are
speaking
and
that
you
please
keep
your
camera
on
at
all
times,
and
should
you
have
to
jump
off
for
whatever
reason
just
give
us
a
quick
heads
up.
A
We
understand
that
you
need
to
do
that
at
times.
I
want
to
welcome
to
those
of
you
who
are
following
us
virtually
this
morning.
Thank
you
for
coming
to
your
committee
on
government
affairs.
I
just
wanted
to
get
do
a
recap
of
the
agenda
for
today
we're
going
to
take
it
in
the
order
it
appears.
We
have
two
bill
presentations,
assembly,
bill,
268
and
assembly
bill
280..
A
We
look
forward
to
engaging
in
that
conversation
and
then
we'll
do
the
public
comment
at
the
very
end.
So
with
that
we'll
go
ahead
and
open
up
the
hearing
on
assembly
bill,
268,
assemblywoman,
krasner
good
morning.
Welcome.
F
F
F
F
It
would
require
that
the
law
enforcement
agency,
when
feasible,
send
a
peace
officer
who
has
been
trained
in
crisis
intervention
to
respond
to
an
incident
involving
a
person
who
has
made
suicidal
statements
or
also
in
carrying
out
his
or
her
duties.
A
peace
officer
shall
not
use
deadly
force
against
a
person
based
on
the
danger
that
the
person
poses
to
himself
or
herself
if
a
reasonable
peace
officer
would
believe
that
the
person
does
not
pose
an
imminent
threat
of
death
or
serious
bodily
harm
to
the
peace
officer
or
another
person.
F
They
put
their
lives
on
the
line
every
day
to
protect
us
and
keep
us
safe.
Just
remember
at
three
o'clock
in
the
morning
when
someone
is
breaking
into
your
home,
you
want
to
be
able
to
call
911.
Have
a
law
enforcement
officer
come
to
your
rescue
law
enforcement
officers.
Do
so
many
good
things
for
the
community
that
go
unnoticed.
F
I
believe
that
de-escalation
techniques
and
crisis
intervention
by
trained
officers
would
have
yielded
a
different
outcome.
There
are
two
studies
that
I
found
on:
de-escalation
techniques
and
their
outcomes.
The
first
is
a
study
of
patients
with
mental
disabilities,
titled
strategy
strategies
to
de-escalate
behavior.
F
Another
study
titled
examining
the
impact
of
integrating
communication
assessment
and
tactics.
De-Escalation,
training
for
the
louisville
metro
police
department.
Initial
findings
was:
it
was
found
that
de-escalation
training
run
by
the
police
executive
research
forum,
dramatically
cut
use
of
force,
incidents
and
injuries
to
citizens
and
officers.
F
In
conclusion,
my
hope
is
that,
by
putting
these
de-escalation
and
crisis
intervention
policies
into
law
and
into
action,
we
can
prevent
something
like
this
from
ever
happening
again.
I
would
appreciate
your
support
on
ab268
and
share,
with
your
permission,
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
my
co-presenters.
A
Thank
you
assemblywomancrasher
we'll
do
that,
but
I
wanted
to
make
sure
with
mr
secretary
if
we
could
also
make
sure
that
the
record
reflects
that
assemblyman
matthews
is
absent
excused.
I
don't
believe
that
I
stated
that
at
the
beginning-
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
record
did
reflect
that
and
my
apologies
to
somebody
women
crash-
I
just
didn't
want
wanted
to
make
sure
I
didn't
forget
to
do
that.
If
we
can
move
on
to
your
co-presenter,
please.

G
G
Morning,
happy
friday,
I
want
to
thank
assemblywoman
krasner
for
reaching
out
to
the
naacp
branch.
I
am
stephanie
mccurry.
The
current
president
of
the
reno
sparks
chapter
unit,
one
one,
one,
two,
I'm
here
speaking
in
support
of
assembly
bill
268,
also
known
as
michael
mica
lee's
bill,
which
establishes
provisions
relating
to
peace
officers.
G
To
the
honorable
chair
vice
chair
members
and
staff,
we,
the
reno,
sparks
naacp
unit
1112
right
to
express
our
support
for
assembly
bill
268
to
assure
full
transparency
in
law
enforcement
interactions
with
the
public.
This
bill
requires
those
agencies
throughout
the
state
of
nevada
to
adopt
a
written
use
of
force
policy.
G
Moreover,
it
requires
law
enforcement
personnel
to
undergo
crisis
intervention,
training
learning
to
use
de-escalation
techniques
when
feasible.
Additionally,
the
training
enables
officers
to
interact
confidently
and
professionally
with
those
driven
by
suicide
ideation
or
who,
in
the
end,
attempt
suicide,
whether
by
cop
or
otherwise.
G
G
G
The
intention
of
ab268
is
to
avoid
loss
of
life
recall
as
assembly
woman
krasner
did
recall.
Micah
lee
a
young
black
man
who,
at
the
tender
age
of
18
years
old,
was
killed
last
year
by
an
officer
after
his
mother
called
9-1-1
dispatch
to
report
that
her
son
was
suicidal
in
a
profession
where
the
fallout
often
cannot
be
remedied
or
altered.
G
G
G
It
also
matters
how
this
distinguished
body
of
legislators
responds
to
this
bill.
Today,
we
thank
assembly,
woman
krasner
for
proposing
such
a
transformative
piece
of
legislation
and
working
together.
This
bill
is,
is
good
groundwork
for
future
legislation
to
come
as
we
all
grow
in
our
humanity
together.
G
I
thank
you
for
including
the
branch
of
myself
and
yield
the
floor.
A
F
Yes,
mr
lonnie
feemster,
I
see
that
he's
also
on
the
screen,
but
his
camera
is
not
on.
If,
if
broadcast,
could
please
turn
mr
lonnie
feemster's
camera
on
he's
my
other
co-presenter?
Thank
you
chairman.
A
Just
want
to
let
you
know,
I
believe
your
your
microphone
is
on
you
good
morning.
H
Okay,
great
thank
you.
I
am
lonnie
l
feinster
and
I'm
testifying
in
support
of
ab268.
H
I've
watched
too
many
body
camera
videos
of
young
men
under
severe
mental
distress
who
lost
their
lives
because
of
a
lack
of
policy
and
practice
that
would
reduce
the
likelihood
of
a
deadly
encounter
with
law
enforcement.
Personnel
passage
of
ab268
will
help
to
provide
a
higher
level
of
trust
in
our
law
enforcement
to
lose
public
trust
does
great
harm
to
many
citizens
to
needlessly
lose
a
life
causes
a
great
sadness
to
many.
H
H
H
We
can
provide
consistency
and
policy
and
practices
and
increase
public
trust
and
reduce
the
number
of
tragic
incidents,
and
I'd
also
like
to
personally
thank
assemblywoman
krasner
for
caring
about
this
and
getting
the
support
and
bringing
this
bill
to
the
assembly
in
the
state
and
thank
you.
A
A
A
I
Good
morning,
chair
and
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
ask.
I
The
question
to
assemblywoman
krasner.
Thank
you
so
much
for
presenting
ab268.
This
is
a
start,
and
I
appreciate
your
the
testimonies
from
both
your
guests.
My
question
actually
has
to
deal
with
section
one
when
I'm
looking
at
section
one
subsection
one
the
guidelines
for
the
use
of
force.
I
You
know
this
is
a
directive.
If
I'm
correct
that
you
would
like
our
enforcement
agencies
to
follow.
So
I
was
wondering
the
language
in
here.
I
F
F
I
I
Thank
you,
sir.
That's
why
I'm
wondering
the
language
to
me
would
be
significant
for
all
all
of
our
agencies
in
the
state
of
nevada
to
have
a
directive
with
the
terminology
of
a
shell,
meaning
that
there's
no
wiggle
room
in
there.
You
know,
like
you,
said
metro
down
in
the
south.
You
know
already
have
policies
on
the
books,
but
you
know
in
recent
years
we've
seen
where
instead
of
dfx
can't
even
say
that
word
today,
the
escalation
that
there
is
still
justifiable.
I
Killing,
murder
of
a
civilian
who
has
been
approached
by
metro
or
any
other
police
officer,
so
I'm
not
trying
to
be
harsh
here,
you
know,
and
I
just
you
know
I
I
feel
that
that
maybe
the
word
shall
in
there
provides
teeth
in
your
bill
where
you
know
the
police
officers
know
that
this
is
more
than
a
requirement,
it's
something
that
they
shall
do.
F
Thank
you,
chairman
flores
assemblywoman,
lisa
krasner,
for
the
record
to
assemblywoman
thomas
in
section
one
sub
one.
It
does
say,
shall
it
says
each
law
enforcement
agency
shall
adopt
a
written
policy.
That
word
shall
is
there
in
section
1,
that's
what
you're
referring
to.
I
Exactly,
but
you
know
just
to
be
consistent
with
what
the
language
in
there
I
just
you
know,
was
looking
at
it
that
way.
A
Thank
you
assemblywoman.
I
think
a
lot
of
us
echo
the
sentiment
that
we
appreciate
assemblywoman
krasner's,
ensuring
that
we
have
that
rim
policy.
So
thank
you
for
that.
We'll
go
next
to
assemblywoman!
Oh
excuse
me.
I
I
think
I
have
committed
to
assemblywoman
dickman
and
then
afterwards
we'll
go
to
assemblywoman
anderson,
assemblywoman
dickman.
Please.
I
Thank
you,
chair
flores,
and
thank
you
assemblywoman
krasner
parts
of
this,
I
think,
are
really
good,
but
I
have
a
question
about
section:
3
sub
1,
where
it
talks
about
if
the
police
officer
doesn't
think
that
the
person
poses
an
imminent
threat
to
others
just
himself,
but
in
a
in
a
crisis
circumstance.
I
F
Thank
you
for
your
question,
chair
floors
through
you
to
assemblywoman,
dickman
and
again
lisa
krausner
for
the
record
section
three
sub
one
that
you're
asking
about
is
the
current
policy
or
the
washoe
county.
Sheriff's
department
is
where
I
got
this
specific
language
and
the
las
vegas
metro
police
department,
which
is
already
following
these
exact
prescriptions
and
the
bill,
and
you
can
ask
them
because
they're
both
in
support
of
this
bill,
and
they
will
be
testifying
later
in
support
that
they
would
be
a
good
one
to
ask
about
their
training.
F
I
It
just
it
sometimes
concerns
me
when,
when
legislators,
who
aren't
experienced
in
law
enforcement
and
critical
snap
decision
situations
make
laws
dictating
how
police
officers
should
do
their
job,
so
the
police
are
good
with
this.
I
then
certainly
aren't
good
with
it.
Thank
you
thanks,
chair.
F
Floors
through
you
to
assemblywoman
dickman,
yes,
and
I
would
never
do
that
assemblywoman
lisa
crescent
for
the
record.
I'd
never
do
that
and
that's
why
I
consulted
with
both
with
both
the
las
vegas
metro
police
department
and
the
washoe
county
sheriff's
office
before
ever.
Putting
this
bill
together
and
only
with
their
help
in
language
of
the
bill.
A
Thank
you
assemblywoman
next,
we'll
go
to
assemblywoman
anderson.
Please.
J
J
My
question
has
to
do
with
the
the
the
idea
of
having
each
law
enforcement
agency
adopting
a
written
policy,
and
I
agree
with
the
majority
of
these
items
that
are
that
are
being
actually
I
agree
with
almost
all
of
it.
I
just
I've
got
a
question
about
what
would
be
the
the
written
policy
like
who's
going
to
be
the
the
individual
or,
what's
going
to
be
the
individual,
to
double
check?
This
is:
will
these
written
policies
be
expected
to
be
turned
into
the
nevada
state
legislature?
J
Would
they
be
expected
to
be
turned
into
to
another
elected
entity,
because
both
areas
that
you're
speaking
of
for
both
wash
county
sheriff
as
well
as
metro,
those
get
both
probably
turned
into
the
sheriff
or
that
one
one
area?
But
since
it's
every
law
enforcement
agency
having
to
do
this,
where's
the
checks
and
balances
and
again
I
want
to
make
sure
it's
clear.
I
agree
with
this.
F
Thank
you,
assemblywoman
lisa
krasner
for
the
record
through
chairman
flores,
to
assemblywoman
anderson.
Thank
you
for
your
wonderful
question.
This
would
just
require
that
each
law
enforcement
agency
adopts
a
written
policy
regarding
the
use
of
force
within
their
own
agency.
F
I
have
no
intention
of
policing
the
police,
that's
not
my
job!
This
merely
requests
that
each
law
enforcement
agency
has
a
policy
within
their
agency.
That's
written
down
that
deals
with
the
use
of
force
and
also
discusses
de-escalation
techniques,
crisis
intervention
techniques
in
regards
to
use
of
force
when
somebody
suicidal
or
mentally
ill.
That's
it
good.
D
J
Thank
you
so
just
to
make
sure
then,
because
I
it
that
is
why
we
are
elected,
though,
is
to
make
sure
that
we
are
in
fact
enacting,
in
my
opinion,
enacting
policies
as
well
as
legislation
or
laws
that
are
actually
being
followed.
So
is
there
an
expectation
that
these
policies
would
be
turned
in,
or
is
it
just
going
to
be
on
trust,
or
would
it
become
a
freedom
of
information
act
that
we
would
just
have
to
have?
Is
that
kind
of
what
you're
saying?
F
I
am
not
requiring
anybody
to
turn
it
into
me
or
turn
it
into
anybody
else.
I
guess
maybe
two
years
from
now,
if
somebody
else
wants
to
bring
that
bill,
that
would
be
up
to
them.
But
that's
not
what
this
bill
says
again.
This
bill
is
just
a
small
step.
I
know
some
people
think
it's
it's
a
big
step.
Some
people
think
it's
not
a
step,
but
the
kind
of
legislation
that
I
like
to
bring
assemblywoman
anderson,
it's
just
a
small
step
that
everybody
can
agree
on
and
that's
why?
F
If
you
look
at
the
bill,
you'll
see
that
it
has
bipartisan
support.
There's
two
republicans
and
two
democrats:
it's
it's
pretty
rare
when
you
have
any
bill
where
you
have
the
naacp
and
law
enforcement,
both
testifying
arm
and
arm
and
support,
and-
and
I
think
that
is-
is
the
bigger
thing
that
we
need
to
keep
in
mind
here
and-
and
I
appreciate
that.
Thank
you
very
much.
J
And
thank
you
for
that.
I
respect
what
you're
saying,
because
I
think
that
that's
one
of
the
beauties
about
having
a
nevada
state
legislature
made
up
of
individuals
who
try
to
work
with
each
other.
J
So
I
really
appreciate
that
the
variety
of
individuals
who
are
supporting
it
and
I'm
thinking,
maybe
even
doing
something
like
the
city
of
sparks,
has
started
to
do
with
their
policies
painted
online
could
be
a
possibility
for
future
discussion
and
or
even
for
regulations
or
for
each
of
those
agencies
to
make
the
decision
to
do
to
show
that
they
realize
the
importance
of
this
legislation
and
the
importance
of
working
with
each
other.
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
Thank
you
chair
and
thank
you,
miss
assemblywoman
krasner
for
bringing
this
bill.
I
think
it
is
much
needed,
but
I
have
a
couple
questions.
First
of
all,
I
think
you
know
we
should
be.
There
should
be
continuity
across
the
state
about
policy
and
procedures,
so
one
department
isn't
doing
something
else.
This
way,
everybody's,
like
on
a
level
playing
field
number
one.
I
think
that
would
be
very
important
because
of
the
fact
that
you
know
each
county
is
our
or
each
city
and
state
is
a
little
bit
different.
I
But
I
think
if
we
have
a
policy,
that's
consistent
throughout
the
state
would
probably
be
fast,
and
I
know
each
situation
is
going
to
be
a
little
bit
different.
But
that's
just
a
thought
on
that
number
one
and
on
the
training
that
you
proposed
in
here,
is
there
going
to
be
a
minimum
amount
and
is
it
going
to
be
continuously?
Is
you
know
maybe
a
refresher
or
something
like
that
just
to
to
do
this,
and
I
think
it's
a
great
idea.
F
Assemblywoman
lisa
cruz
krasner
for
the
record
through
chair
flores
to
assemblywoman
duran.
Thank
you
for
your
question.
F
You
are
referring
to
section
section
two
section,
one
sub
f
sub
two
and
at
the
bottom
there
it
does
refer
to
a
paragraph
I
of
sub
section
one
of
nrs289.510,
and
if
you
look
at
the
nrs
289.510
subsection,
I
it
does
say
it's
already
the
current
law
that
all
all
peace
officers
must
have
12
hours
of
continuing
requirements
annually
in
education
and
courses
that
do
relate
to
racial
profiling,
mental
illness,
well-being
of
officers,
de-escalation,
implicit
bias,
human
trafficking,
so
that
is
actually
already
in
the
law.
F
That's
already
in
the
law
and
and-
and
it
goes
further
to
talk
about
developing
and
approving
a
standard
curriculum
of
training
for
crisis
intervention.
But
again
that's
already
in
the
law.
I
I
apologize
I
didn't
check,
I
didn't
go
to
nrs
289
510.
My
of
my
apologies
on
that.
But
yes,
so
that's
great,
I
think
you
know
it's
continuous
training
is
always
a
good
thing
and
did
you
have
any
ideas
about
the
continuity
from
law
enforcement
throughout
the
state.
F
As
a
as
assemblywoman
lisa
cressen
for
the
record,
as
I
did
mention,
I
worked
together
with
las
vegas
metro
police
department
and
the
washoe
county
sheriff's
department
on
this.
They
both
have
excellent
policies
in
place
either
of
those
two
agencies
could
serve
as
a
model
for
the
other
15
counties
and
the
other
agencies.
F
A
And
members
will
continue
with
questions
we'll
go
to
assemblywoman
assemblywoman
thomas.
Do
you
have
a
follow
up.
I
Yes,
sir,
just
one
quick
follow-up
and
this
one
assemblywoman
krasner,
I
was
just
wondering,
have
you
spoken
with
metro
and
and
how
many
officers
are
qualified
for
crisis
intervention.
F
Assemblywoman
lisa
krasner
for
the
record
chairman
flores,
threw
you
to
assemblywoman
thomas.
I
have
not
asked
that
question
to
las
vegas
metro
police
department.
However,
we're
very
lucky
to
have
mr
chuck
callaway
here
with
us
today
he
will
be
testifying
in
support
and
if,
if
it's
the
chairs
prerogative
and
okay
with
our
chair,
you
could
ask
him
that
question.
A
Thank
you
and
we'll
get
to
that
question
a
little
bit
later,
assemblywoman
thomas,
I
did
I
I
noticed
on
the
chat
ms
stephanie
mccurry
had
mentioned
that
wanted
to
add
some
additional
input
to
one
of
the
questions.
G
Thank
you
chair.
I
just
wanted
to
for
the
record
stephanie
mccurry
president
naacp
advised
that
at
no
time
have
we
been
contacted
by
any
particular
law
enforcement
agency.
Nor
do
we
want
to
create
the
perception
that
we
are
working
arm
and
arm
with
any
law
enforcement
agency.
We
are
here
representing
communities
of
color
that
are
already
at
a
disadvantage
and
losing
loved
ones
because
of
lack
of
training,
and
so
we
are
here
to
advocate
for
those
communities
that
are
being
affected
by
heavy
policing
and
an
adverse
tactic.
G
So
just
for
the
record,
we
want
to
state
that
we
are
on
the
side
of
the
people
that
that
they
need
protection
and
again,
as
I
said
in
my
letter,
that
ab26
is
to
avoid
the
loss
of
life,
and
that
is
our
stance
on
this
morning.
Thank
you.
A
A
Seeing
none
at
this
time
I'd
like
to
invite
those
wishes
to
testify
in
support
of
assembly
bill
268
and
of
somebody
graduate
do
we
have
anybody
who's
joining
us
virtually
that
wanted
to
testify
and
support.
F
Thank
you,
chairman
flores,
I
believe
mr
chuck
callaway
from
las
vegas
metro
is
on
the
line
and
mr
corey
selferino
from
the
washoe
county
sheriff
is
also
on
the
line.
Thank
you
chairman.
D
D
A
I
do
see
we
have
mr
andrew
barbano
who's
here
to
testify
in
support
of
assembly
bill
268
joining
us
virtually
we'll
see
mr
andrew
burbano
good
morning.
K
Rock
and
roll,
my
name
is
andrew
barbano,
I'm
a
52-year
nevada
and
I
resided
both
in
reno
and
las
vegas.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
come
before
you
today
and
thank
assemblywoman
krasner
for
the
opportunity
and
for
her
leadership
here,
I'm
the
editor
of
nevadalabor.com
and
a
long
time.
Member
and
officer
of
the
reno
sparks
naacp.
K
K
He
had
existing
in
the
case
of
mikayla
lee
had
existing
systems
like
the
rapid
response
task
force
that
assemblywoman
krasner
referred
to
that
already
exist
in
las
vegas
and
reno.
The
rapid
response
team
existed
for
years.
The
three
sparks
police
officers.
I
write
for
the
sparks
tribune
so
watch
next
week's
paper.
K
K
This
is
why
the
video
that's
posted
online
has
been
carefully
edited
by
the
sparks
police
department
to
cover
up
mikayla
lee's
execution
by
the
sparks
cops,
I'm
speaking
from
experience,
I'm
speaking
from
what
I
know
go
watch
it
it's
disgusting
to
look
at
even
with
the
edited
out
portions.
So
it's
going
to
cost
the
city
who
sparks
a
few
million
bucks.
Who
cares
it's
just
a
black
kid,
so
please
allow
me
to
memorialize
this
young
man's
life
for
posterity
in
today's
legislative
record
with
a
little
poetry,
because
nothing
else
seems
to
work.
K
Ask
questions
first
and
shoot
later,
a
limerick
in
remembrance
of
the
kylie
before
you
start
shooting
the
mentally
troubled
call
in
the
pros
to
assist
on
the
double
an
easy
decision,
no
ifs,
ands
or
buts.
To
do
otherwise
is
plainly
just
nuts
thanks
to
assemblywoman
krasner,
for
bringing
this
there's
a
companion
bill
in
the
senate
by
senator
harris
senate
bill
212,
and
I
hope
something
comes
out
of
this
legislative
session
to
mandate
the
cops
using
the
rapid
response
system
before
they
start
shooting.
K
Please
do
that.
The
systems
are
in
place,
they've
been
in
place
for
years,
and
it's
a
travesty
that
we
have
to
have
a
legislative
bill
and
a
law
as
the
former
assemblyman
as
assemblyman
thomas,
I
believe,
noted
with
lots
of
shells
in
it
to
order
the
cops
to
use
the
system.
That's
been
in
place
for
a
hell
of
a
long
time.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
service
for
your
time
be
well
raise
hell.
Andrew
barbano,
reno,
nevada,
reno
sparks
naacp.
A
And
thank
you,
mr
barbano,
for
joining
us
this
morning.
We'll
continue
with
those
wishing
to
testify
in
support
of
assembly
bill.
286.
Excuse
me
268
and
we'll
go
to
the
phone
lines
broadcast.

Good
morning,
chair
flores
and
members
of
the
committee,
this
is
kendra
burchie,
k-e-n-d-r-a
b-e-r-t-s-c
and
I'm
testifying
today
on
behalf
of
the
washoe
county
public
defender's
office,
the
clark
county
public
defender's
office,
as
well
as
the
aclu
of
nevada.
We
greatly
appreciate
assemblywoman
krasner's
for
bringing
forward
this
bill.
What
happened
to
mikaya
and
his
family
is
an
absolute
tragedy.
M
M
M
We
strongly
believe
that
we
should
be
working
on
solutions
to
not
have
someone
with
a
gun,
be
the
first
person
on
scene
with
someone
suffering
from
a
mental
health
crisis
and
believe
that
this
bill
will
work
towards
that.
As
to
assembly
woman
anderson's
point,
we
do
support
her
suggestion
of
requiring
law
enforcement
to
post
their
policies
online.
Currently,
the
washoe
county,
sheriff's
office,
reno
police
department,
as
well
as
sparks
police
department,
have
done
this
in
the
wake
of
the
tragedies
that
occurred
in
2020.
M
As
stated
in
aclu's
letter
support,
americans
with
mental
illness
are
experiencing
or
experiencing
a
mental
health
crisis
account
for
almost
25
percent
of
police
killings.
An
analysis
of
an
officer-involved
shootings
in
las
vegas
for
the
office
of
community
oriented
police
services
of
the
u.s
department
of
justice
found
that
50
poor
54
percent
of
fatal
shootings
involved.
M
A
L
L
B
B
This
bill
represents
implementation
of
a
reasonable
policy
that
is
consistent
with
precautionary
measures
we
already
employ
at
the
attorney
general's
office
through
the
use
of
forced
defensive
tactics,
training
and
other
state
required
training
pursuant
to
the
2019
legislative
session.
We
thank
you
for
bringing
this
bill
forward
and
this
is
anecdotal
evidence,
but
I
have
been
told
by
some
community
members
that
they
are
sometimes
afraid
to
call
the
police
when
a
family
member
is
having
an
acute
episode,
because
they
don't
want
that
family
member
to
go
to
jail.
They
just
want
them
to
get
help.
A
L
L
N
Good
morning,
chairman
flores
and
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
aj
dileb
of
the
las
vegas
metropolitan
police
department.
My
last
name
was
phonetically,
spelled
david,
easy,
lincoln,
adam
paul
for
the
record.
The
las
vegas
metropolitan
police
department
is
in
support
of
ab268
and
thank
assemblywoman
krasner
for
bringing
forth
this
measure.
N
The
assemblywoman
spoke
of
chuck
callaway
being
able
to
join.
The
meeting
he's
asked
me
to
call
in
in
his
place
he
has
caught
up
on
another
measure
and
I'll
be
available
for
questions
as
necessary.
With
that,
I
would
like
to
conclude
my
testimony
on
ab268.
Thank
you,
chairman
foreign
and
members
of
the
committee,
for
your.
A
L
L
L
N
N
And
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
question
as
I
can
right
now
or
I
can
follow
up
with
information.
I
believe
the
question
was
regarding
crisis
intervention,
training
for
officers
and
such.
A
Should
an
officer
respond
to
a
call
where
really
what
we
need
is
crisis
intervention
rather
than
anything
else,
how
equipped
or
statistically,
how
likely
is
it
that
that
officer
would
be
prepared
to
do
that
because
she
or
he
has
undergone
the
the
necessary
training?
N
Chairman
juarez,
I
can
only
speak
of
our
agency
and
I
will
give
you
the
number
of
around
80
percent
of
our
patrol
officers,
we're
an
agency
of
over
3
000
officers,
but
80
of
our
patrol
officers
are
trained
in
crisis
intervention
and
then
they
recertify
that
on
a
regular
basis
and
our
protocols
dictate
that
whenever
possible
calls
involving
mental
health
issues
or
things
of
that
nature,
it
could
be
a
suicide
attempt
in
that
genre
of
police
service,
that
crisis
intervention
trained
officers,
respond
to
that
and
then
they're
also
giving
the
authority
to
take
control
of
the
car
call,
regardless
of
the
rank
of
the
the
personnel
that
are
already
there
as
far
as
other
agencies.
N
A
No,
no
thank
you
that
was
assemblywoman
thomas
and
if
we
could
just
send
it
to
the
whole
committee,
that'd
be
useful.
We
can
get
it
over
to
our
committee
manager,
judy
bishop
and
she
can
make
sure
that
we
all
get
that.
Thank
you,
sir,
and
thank
you
for
joining
us
this
morning.
We'll
continue
to
the
next
caller.
We
should
testify
in
support
of
assembly
bill
268.
L
N
Good
morning,
chair
flores
vice
chair
torrez
and
members
of
the
government
affairs
committee,
my
name
is
corey
soltorino
for
the
record.
C-O-R-E-Y
s's
and
sam
o-l-f
is
in
frank,
e-r-I-n-o,
and
I
have
the
pleasure
of
representing
the
washington
county
sheriff's
office.
We
want
to
take
this
opportunity
this
morning
to
thank
assemblywoman
krasner
for
reaching
out
to
us
regarding
ab268.
N
We
believe
that
our
model
policy
and
some
of
the
escalation
techniques
that
de-escalation
techniques
that
we've
been
utilizing
for
the
past
20-plus
years
have
been
instrumental
in
the
washoe
county
sheriff's
office
successes
in
dealing
with
public
and
people
suffering
from
mental
crises.
We
also
wanted
to
point
out
that
our
policies
are
available
online
for
all
to
see.
By
going
to
washoesheriff.com
and
with
the
recent
completion
of
our
online
survey,
we
are
taking
public
support
and
public
comments
and
making
those
into
additional
policies.
N
A
And
thank
you
we'll
go
to
the
next
caller
in
support
of
assembly
bill.
F
B
K-A-I-L-E-Y-B-A-R-N-E-T-T
I
support
av-268.
I
personally
got
to
know
susan
mckayle's
mother
over
the
summer
and
no
one
should
have
to
experience
losing
a
child
like
she
did.
Mental
health
should
not
be
a
crime
punishable
by
death.
This
is
not
nearly
enough,
but
it's
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
I
yield
my
time.
L
E
Ian
marie
grant
a-n-n-e-m-a-r-I-e-g-r-a-n-t
I
support
ab268
as
it's
an
attempt
at
transparency
and
accountability.
Of
course,
each
law
enforcement
agency
should
have
a
use
of
force
policy
per
fatal
encounters.
Daughter
of
395
people.
Somebody's
loved
one
have
died
during
interactions
with
police
in
nevada
since
the
year
2000.
E
That
number
does
not
include
those
killed
after
booking
out
of
jail
or
prison.
Perhaps
my
non-combative
non-assaultive
non-aggressive
140
pound
brother
would
not
have
been
placed
into
a
hog
tie
against
every
page
of
the
device
manual
instructions
for
40
plus
minutes
by
reno
police
and
then
affixiated
to
death
by
washoe
county
deputies.
It's
shocking.
They
claim
they've
had
such
great
success,
not
killing
the
mentally
ill
they've
affixated
three
men,
my
brother
was
killed
simply
for
asking
for
help
during
a
mental
health
crisis.
Perhaps
head
officers
had
this
additional
training
about
community
members
in
crisis.
E
Michael
lee,
philip
serrano,
kenneth
stafford
mike
abby,
daniel
murillo,
my
brother,
thomas
purdy,
and
so
many
others
will
be
alive
today,
watered
down
bills
and
not
designed
to
prosecute
the
police,
but
rather
to
restore
public
confidence
in
the
police.
They
are
used
to
defuse
demands
for
prosecuting
police
brutality
and
minimize
punishment
for
guilty
cops.
E
What
families
really
want
is
true
change,
so
no
other
families
have
to
know
this
pain
and
for
our
loved
ones
killer
to
be
held
accountable,
as
anyone
not
wearing
a
badge
would
be
honestly
until
graham
v,
connor
and
tennessee
v
garner
are
overturned
and
the
da's
prosecute
police
who
use
excessive
force.
Murder
are
killed
due
to
negligence,
it's
just
like
putting
a
band-aid
on
a
deep
wound,
and
the
language
in
this
bill
mirrors
the
two
scotus
cases
I
mentioned
before.
For
it
to
be
reasonable.
E
So
it's
not
a
surprise
that
there
isn't
police
opposition
to
this
bill.
I
can't
speak
to
clark
county,
but
washoe.
If
someone
were
to
die
by
means
of
asphyxiation,
there
would
be
no
investigation
like
officer-involved
deaths.
My
brother
was
a
danger
to
nobody,
perhaps
not
even
to
himself,
if
reno
pd
affixiated
my
non-combative
non-aggressive
mentally
brother
and
thought
it
was
reasonable.
I
ask
what
isn't
reasonable
in
their
eyes.
It's
clear.
E
The
police
are
a
far
greater
danger
to
the
community
than
the
community
to
them
until
we
have
laws
that
actually
do
not
allow
police
to
kill.
Without
consequence,
forgive
me
for
my
skepticism.
I
do
not
believe
things
will
change.
I
do
support
the
bill
moving
forward,
but
not
because
I
believe
it
will
stop
police
from
murdering
without
consequence
or
that
it
will
reduce
death
at
the
hands
of
police.
Thank
you.
A
Ma'am,
just
for
the
sake
of
clarity
and
and
thank
you
for
calling
in
and
as
always,
it's
always
heartbreaking
to
hear
the
story
of
your
brother.
My
understanding
is
that
you
are
then
in
opposition
to
this
bill,
because
you
don't
believe.
H
A
Report,
thank
you.
Ma'am,
we'll
continue
with
support
of
assembly
bill
268.

Hi,
yes,
my
name
is
matthew
wilkie
and
I
would
like
to
go
on
the
record
in
support
of
this
bill.
Like
the
previous
caller
stated,
there
are
things
that
we
can
do
greater.
However,
something
is
better
than
nothing.
I
do
believe
that,
with
this
bill
in
place,
people
like
thomas
purdy,
mikaya
lee
everyone
else
that
she
stated
could
potentially
be
alive
today.
So,
thank
you
so
much,
and
I
hope-
and
I
am
support
of
this
bill.
Thank
you
so.
A
L
B
E-R-I-K-A-M-I-N-A-B-E-R-R-Y-
and
I
am
calling
in
the
support
of
this
bill
because
I
know
a
lot
of
people
that
have
mental
health
issues
and
we
are
all
afraid
of
calling
the
cops
if
we
are
in
distress,
and
that
is
not
the
way
that
society
should
work.
So
please
vote
in
support
of
this
bill
in
the
name
of
micaiah
lee
and
all
of
those
that
we
have
lost.
Thank
you.
L
L
L

L
A
L
F
Yes,
assemblywoman
lisa
kresner
for
the
record,
thank
you,
chairman,
flores
and
members
of
the
committee
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
present
bill
to
you
today.
F
This
concludes
my
presentation,
but
I
do
want
to
take
a
moment
to
say
thank
you
to
the
naacp,
the
attorney
general's
office,
las
vegas
metro
police
department
and
the
washoe
county
sheriff's
department.
I
do
appreciate
your
help
and
I
thank
you
for
your
time.
I
would
sincerely
appreciate
your
support
on
ab268.
A
Thank
you
assemblywomankrasner,
and
I
appreciate
you
working
with
such
an
array
group
of
folk.
I
never
expected
to
see
you
with
all
the
progressive
groups
right
behind
you,
so
I
appreciate
you
working
with
so
many
folk.
We
appreciate
the
spirit
of
the
work
you're
doing
with
that
we'll
go
ahead
and
close
out
the
hearing
on
the
assembly
bill
268
and
next
on
the
agenda.
We
have
assembly
bill,
280.
O
Morning,
chair
flores
and
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record,
my
name
is
sarah
peters.
I
represent
assembly
district
24
in
reno,
I'm
here
to
represent
sorry
to
present
assembly
bill
280
for
your
consideration.
O
This
includes
any
establishment
or
place
to
which
the
public
is
invited
or
which
is
intended
for
public
use,
such
as
hotels,
restaurants,
bars
gas
stations,
theaters
private
schools
and
universities,
day
care,
centers
senior,
citizen,
centers
and
gymnasiums
to
name
a
few
with
ab280.
We
are
trying
to
ensure
that
all
public
at
publicly
accessible,
single
stall
restrooms
are
not
limited
to
any
one
gender
or
limited
at
or
limit
access
to
disabled
people
or
their
caregivers.
O
You
know
those
moments
as
apparent
when
you
awkwardly
take
your
son
into
the
women's
restroom,
and
he
says
I
can't
go
in
there.
It's
for
girls,
they're
cringe-worthy
moments.
Another
scenario
includes
the
dignity
of
people
with
disabilities,
even
short-term
disabilities,
when
you
as
a
friend
or
partner
or
family
member
of
someone
who
needs
help
to
use
the
restroom,
it
remains
awkward
to
choose
which
gender
restroom
do
you
enter.
O
I
would
like
to
briefly
provide
a
section
by
section
over
overview,
and
then
I
will
turn
it
over
to
andre
wade
with
silver
state
equality
for
additional
remarks.
After
that,
we
will
open
up
for
questions,
starting
with
section
one
in
instances
where
a
place
of
public
accommodation
provides
a
single
stall
bathroom
section
one
requires
the
single
stall
restroom
to
be
as
inclusive
and
accessible
as
possible,
including
by
allowing
a
parent
or
guardian
of
a
child
to
enter
the
single
stall
restroom
with
the
child.
O
In
addition
to
these
changes,
section
one
allows
any
person
who
believes
he
or
she
have
been
denied
full
and
equal
use
of
a
single
stall
restroom
because
of
discrimination
or
segregation
to
file
a
complaint
to
the
effect
to
that
effect.
With
the
nevada,
equal
rights
commission,
section,
2,
3
and
15
make
conforming
changes
related
to
the
private
clubs.
Marketing
and
signage
section
4
provides
that
any
person
who
deprives
interferes
with
or
punishes
another
person
for
accessing
a
single
stall
restroom
is
guilty
of
a
misdemeanor
section.
O
Section
six
authorizes
any
county
or
incorporated
city
to
adopt
an
ordinance
to
prohibit
the
infringement
of
a
person's
rights
privileges
or
access
to
a
single
stall.
Restroom
section
9
requires
any
governmental
entity
that
adopts
a
building
code
to
include
a
requirement
that
any
single
stall
restroom
made
available
to
the
public
and
contained
in
a
permanent
building
or
facility
used
by
the
public,
and
that
is
constructed
on
or
after
october,
1
of
2021
comply
with
provisions
of
this
bill
related
to
single
stall.
O
Restrooms
section
9
also
provides
that
if
the
county
or
city
has
no
building
code,
the
county
or
city
is
required
to
adopt
such
a
require.
Such
requirements
by
ordinance,
section,
7,
8
and
10,
make
conforming
changes
related
to
county
building
codes,
city
building
codes
and
planning
and
zoning
statutes.
Section
11.
O
Sorry,
both
sections
11
and
12
make
provisions
related
to
single
stall,
restroom
access,
restrooms
applicable
to
a
public
building
or
facility
owned
by
a
public
body
and
an
area
leased
by
or
on
behalf
of
a
public
body
and
used
primarily
to
provide
services
to
the
public
inc,
including
certain
leased
areas
within
a
state
park.
Section
12
provides
that
a
contract
for
such
a
leased
area
does
not
satisfy
those
requirements
which
is
entered
into
on
or
after
october.
O
1
2021
is
void
and
unenforceable,
and,
finally,
section
14
authorizes
a
person
to
report
a
violation
committed
by
a
public
body
or
to
the
attorney
general,
who
is
required
to
notify
the
public
body
responsible
for
the
alleged
violation.
If
the
public
body
fails
to
comply
with
the
provisions
regarding
single
stall
restrooms,
the
attorney
general
is
required
to
take
action
and
is,
as
is
necessary,
to
ensure
compliance
to
be
clear.
This
bill
does
not
require
any
restroom
retrofit
or
obligation.
F
O
Additionally,
in
consultation
with
stakeholders,
we
are
also
working
on
an
amendment
to
add
a
grace
period
for
implementation
that
may
look
like
up
to
120
days
following
the
bill's
effective
date.
This
concludes
my
overview
of
the
bill.
I
have
with
me
andre
wade
with
silverstay
equality
today
to
add
testimony
to
the
purpose
and
importance
of
this.
D
Bill,
thank
you
so
much
and
good
morning,
chair
flores
vice
chair
torres
and
esteem
committee
members
again,
my
name
is
andre
wade
and
I'm
the
state
director
for
silver
state
equality,
the
nevada-based,
lgbtq
plus
civil
rights
organization.
In
nevada.
We
bring
the
voices
of
lgbtq,
plus
people
and
allies
to
institutions
of
power
in
nevada
and
across
the
united
states,
striving
to
create
a
world
that
is
healthy,
just
and
fully
equal
for
all
lgbtq
plus
people,
and
we
fully
stand
by
ab280.
D
D
I
don't
need,
and
I
had
to
run
to
the
restroom
before
heading
to
surla
tabla,
and
I
don't
even
cook
my
point
is
I
headed
to
the
rest,
singles
occupancy
restrooms,
the
one
with
the
gender
signage
label
for
men,
a
woman
and
a
young
boy,
probably
about
eight
or
nine
years
old,
walked
out.
As
I
was
about
to
walk
in
the
woman,
the
woman
apologized
for
using
the
restroom
and
said
something
to
the
effect,
sorry,
we
really
had
to
go.
I
didn't
mind,
I
never
do.
D
D
The
lgbtq
center
of
southern
nevada
was
the
first
place
public
facility
in
nevada
to
implement
gender-neutral
restrooms
if
you've
never
been
when
you
walk
in
there's
a
common
area
which
sinks
to
your
right
for
everyone
to
wash
their
hands
regardless
of
gender
or
anything
else.
As
you
walk
through,
there
are
single
stalls
on
your
left
and
on
your
right
further
down,
there's
a
space
with
just
urinals
and
of
course
these
stalls
are
designed
for
people
who
are
differently
abled,
so
people
who
use
wheelchairs
for
mobility
or
walkers
etc
have
easy
access.
D
In
2019,
the
american
psychological
association
stated
that
gender
inclusive
restrooms
are
helpful
for
people
whose
family
members,
such
as
a
child
or
someone
who
needs
assistance,
requires
assistance
from
a
person
or
caregiver
who
is
of
a
different
gender.
Women
are
often
inconvenienced
by
long
lines
when
single
star
restrooms
don't
have
the
capacity
to
accommodate
women
efficiently.
D
So,
to
my
earlier
point,
some
women
just
end
up
using
the
men's
restroom
anyway.
Equal
access
to
single
stall
restrooms
would
make
it
easier
for
parents.
We
need
a
no
wrong
door
approach
to
single
occupancy
restrooms
that
are
convenient
for
all.
Thank
you
to
assemblywoman
peters
for
sponsoring
this
very
practical
piece
of
legislation.
Service
data
quality
is
in
full
support
of
ab280
and
thank
you
to
the
committee
in
advance
for
your
support.
This
concludes
my
remarks.
O
We
are
open
for
questions.
The
committee
has
them.
C
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
got
a
couple
questions.
I've
been
noticing
a
lot
in
some
of
the
smaller
mini
markets
that
they
post
the
front
door
outside
saying
that
there's
no
public
bathrooms
in
there
and
I
happened
to
own
one
of
them
buildings.
I
call
the
state
department,
the
health
department
and
they
said
that
is
totally
legal.
The
bathrooms
were
there
for
employees,
not
to
the
public.
I
disagree.
C
I
I
think
if
you've
got
a
business
and
you're
using
the
business
to
to
obtain
business,
then
the
bathroom
should
be
open
to
everybody
period.
Then
the
other
thing
we've
got
another
business,
that's
a
little
small
thing
that
it
is,
has
a
restroom,
and
so
how
would
you
identify
just
by
saying
public
restroom?
Just
how
would
you
identify
the
door?
Would
you
just
say
restroom
or
what
could
you
answer
that?
Thank
you.
O
Absolutely
thank
you,
sarah
peters,
for
the
record.
This
again,
this
bill
doesn't
address
the
accessibility
of
the
actual
bathroom
facility
and
the
implementation
of
that
at
certain
businesses.
It
is
just
strictly
related
to
the
signage.
So,
in
response
to
the
question
of
how
do
you,
how
does
that
sign
appear
in
a
variety
of
ways?
We
see
restroom,
we
see
all
gender
restroom.
O
We
see
family
restroom,
my
office.
We
have
a
funny
sign
that
has
that
we
got
on
amazon
for
like
five
dollars.
That
has
a
male
image.
O
If,
like
figure
right,
that
is
typical
of
a
bathroom,
a
female
figure,
that's
typical
of
a
bathroom
and
then
an
alien,
and
it
just
says
I
don't
care
wash
your
hands
and
so
there's
a
variety
of
options
for
how
to
address
signage
on
your
restrooms,
and
I
think
that
in
talking
with
stakeholders,
the
the
idea
of
a
grace
period
is
kind
of
to
allow
people
to
be
creative
about
how
they
create
those
signs
and
and
just
encourage
that
that
dignity
and
accessibility
to
our
rest,
our
single
stall
restrooms.
C
Follow
up
miss
chair
ottawa,
please
I
I
I
really
like
that,
and
I
would
definitely
like
to
know
where
to
get
my
alien
bathroom
site.
Thank.
N
I
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you
assemblywoman
peters,
for
bringing
this
this
bill
to
the
forefront.
I
think
it's
much
needed
just
a
quick
question.
You
have
mentioned
something
about
a
grace
period
and
I
was
trying
to
stand
through
the
bill
again
and
I
didn't
see
it.
Can
you
point
to
where
the
grace
period,
for
I'm
assuming
for
everyone
to
get
into
compliance.
O
Thank
you
for
the
question,
sarah
peters,
for
the
record.
That
was
a
late
request
as
of
yesterday
from
a
stakeholder,
so
we
are
still
working
on
the
amendment
for
that
piece,
but
I
I
considered
that
upon
receipt
of
the
bill,
however,
not
being
a
small
business
owner,
I
was
encouraged
by
the
small
business.
I
think
it
was
the
henderson
chambers
who
reached
out
and
requested
that
there
be
a
grace
period
for
particularly
like
addressing
the
creative
sign
issue
right.
O
A
A
To
the
phone
lines,
as
I
don't
believe,
we
have
anybody
joining
us
wishing
to
testify
virtually
so
at
this
time,
I'd
like
to
invite
those
wishing
to
testify
in
support
of
assembly
bill
280
and
we'll
go
to
the
phone
lines
broadcast.
Please.
L
P
Good
morning
and
thank
you
chair
for
the
record,
this
is
liz
davenport,
l-I-z-d-a-v,
the
legal
intern
with
the
aclu
of
nevada.
Thank
you,
assemblywoman
peters,
for
bringing
this
bill.
Normalizing
gender-neutral,
bathrooms
benefits
a
wide
range
of
people
having
gender-neutral
bathrooms
is
the
most
inclusive
option
and
brings
real
health
benefits
to
real
people.
P
Gender-Neutral
bathrooms
are
safer
for
families
with
children,
as
parents
can
accompany
other
general
children
to
walk
up
without
fear.
Those
with
disabilities
benefit
from
having
an
other
gender
caregiver
able
to
access
the
bathroom
without
fear
and
gender
inclusive
bathrooms
help
make
transgender
and
other
gender
non-conforming
people
feel
safer
in
public
spaces.
P
A
L
C
Good
morning,
chair
flores
and
vice
chair
torres
and
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
alex
camparo,
that's
a-l-e-x-c-a-m-b-e-r-o-s,
a
number
disabled,
bisexual
mexican-american
man
in
a
same-gender
relationship.
I
share
a
home
with
my
partner
in
the
mountain
dutch
community
of
southwest
las
vegas.
Today,
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
battleborn
progress
in
support
of
ad-280
ab-280
would
allow
for
single-use
restrooms
to
be
inclusive
and
accessible
for
all
people,
especially
transgender
non-binary
and
gender
non-conforming
people.
C
Many
of
these
people
report
being
police
for
their
gender
and
having
their
privacy
violated
when
using
a
public
restroom
with
gender
designated
bathrooms.
Gender
inclusive
restrooms
make
help
make
gender
non-conforming
people
more
safe
in
public
and
better
protects
them
from
harassment
and
assaults.
C
As
an
ambulatory
wheelchair
user
myself,
I
occasionally
need
assistance
using
a
single
stall
public
restroom
and
I
don't
always
have
a
same
gender
family
member
or
friend,
available
to
assist
me
having
the
option
for
my
mother
to
assist
me.
For
example,
would
provide
greater
freedom
to
me
and
many
people
like
me
to
use
a
public
restroom
with
peace
in
mind.
For
these
reasons
and
many
others
we're
asking
you
to
support
ab2ae.

planned
parenthood.
Boats,
nevada
is
in
favor
of
ab280,
while
they
are
a
necessity
for
all
people
for
gender,
diverse
nevadans
classrooms
can
be
a
place
and
source
of
harassment,
policing,
bullying
and
violence.
P

Gender
inclusive
restrooms
are
helpful
for
people
whose
family
member,
such
as
a
child
person
with
a
disability
or
older
adult,
requires
assistance
from
different
sex
parents
or
caregivers
ab-280
would
help
create
a
safer,
more
inclusive
nevada.
All
around.
Thank
you
to
assemblywoman
sarah
peters,
who
sponsored
ab280
and
assemblywoman
celena

who
co-sponsored
this
bill
assembly
committee
on
government
of

C-H-R-I-S-T-I-N-E-S-A-U-N-D-E-R-S
and
I'm
the
policy
director
with
the
progressive
leadership
alliance
of
nevada
here
in
support
of
assembly
bill
280.,
I
want
to
echo
the
sentiments
of
those
who
spoke
before
me.
Ab-280
is
a
common-sense
bill
to
ensure
that
every
nevadan,
regardless
of
their
gender
identity,
support,
needs
or.
O

Good
morning,
happy
friday
morning
to
you,
chairman
and
the
committee,
my
name
is
dora
martinez,
d-o-r-a-m-a-r-t-I-n-e-z
and
I'm
calling
in
support
of
av-280.
I
am
totally
blind
and
I
have
been
using
men's
bathroom
by
for
emergency.
Sometimes
I
tell
my
dog
go
find
the
bathroom
when
we're
in
airports
or
the
university
of
nevada
reno,
and
he
finds
the
nearest
one
and
it's
the
men's
bathroom.
B
B
A
And
I'm
glad
we
were
able
to
get
get
you
on
on
the
record.
Did
anybody
else
log
in
there
last
minute?
I
want
to
make
sure
we
get
everybody
who
wishes
to
speed.
O
Thank
you,
a
chair,
sarah
peters,
for
the
record.
I
just
want
to
encourage
the
committee
to
remember
a
time
when
that
barrier
of
entry
was
just
a
sign,
and
I
would
encourage
you
to
please
support
ab280.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
consideration.
A
And
thank
you
assemblywoman.
I
appreciate
you
and
all
who
called
in
support
at
this
time
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
close
out
the
hearing
on
assembly,
bill
280.
and
next
we'll
move
on
to
public
comment
broadcast
anybody
wishing
to
speak
in
broad
public
comment.
We
can
go
to
them,
but
while
we're
getting
to
you,
I
want
to
remind
everybody
that
public
comment
is
a
time
for
you
to
join
us
and
speak
in
general
matters
that
fall
within
the
purview
of
our
committee.
A
But
it's
not
a
time
to
re-engage
or
reopen
a
hearing
we
just
had.
I
don't
want
to
cut
you
off.
I
want.
I
want
you
to
participate
and
encourage
it,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
lay
the
ground
rules
so
that
we
don't
have
to
cut
anybody
off.
So
with
that
said,
anybody
wishing
to
join
us
for
public
comment.
Please
do
so
at
this
time
broadcast.
Please.
L
A
Understood
so
with
that
members,
I
want
to
remind
you
that
this
money
tax,
you
money
one
day,
we'll
be
meeting
9
a.m.
I
know
that
we
were
taking
advantage
of
that.
10
a.m
start
time.
Unfortunately,
as
you
all
know,
we
have
two
weeks
and
we
have
40-something
bills.
A
So
I
want
to
make
sure
that
you
all
understand
that
moving
forward
we're
not
we're
going
to
hear
a
minimum
of
three
bills
per
day
at
times,
four
or
more
so
just
give
yourself
the
opportunity
to
get
some
good
rest
this
weekend,
because
this
unfortunately
is
going
to
pick
up
really
fast
and
and
unfortunately,
we
won't
always
be
able
to
give
a
heads
up,
as
we
previously
would
on
moving
bills
around
it's
just
the
nature
of
how
this
works
so
for
for
monday.
A
I
want
to
remind
you:
we
have
assembly
bill,
220,
236
and
337,
give
yourself
an
opportunity
to
review
those.
I
hope
everybody
has
a
great
weekend.
I
really
appreciate
all
the
work
this
week
and
I
think
assembly
manila's
in
there
is
showing
some
some
of
his
artistic
freedom.
