A
At
this
time,
I
will
call
to
order
the
meeting
of
the
assembly
committee
on
health
and
human
services
today,
I'm
very
excited
to
be
here
in
our
committee
room.
This
is
our
first
in-person
meeting
so
welcome
to
health
and
human
services,
madam
secretary,
if
you
would
call
the
rule
and
if
I
can
remind
members
to
push
your
microphone
when
you
say
here.
C
D
A
Here
we
do
have
a
quorum
present.
I
will
ask
our
wonderful
staff
to
mark
a
member's
present
as
they
arrive.
I
know
that
assemblyman
orenlicker,
assemblywoman,
danitas,
thompson
and
assemblywoman
peters
are
all
presenting
in
other
committees
in
the
senate
right
now.
So
it
is
that
time
of
the
session
again,
I
would
welcome
the
people
that
are
here
present
in
the
room,
as
well
as
the
people
joining
us
virtually
to
this
committee
hearing
today
we
have
three
bills
and
just
somehow
several
housekeeping
things.
A
If
you
are
on
the
zoom,
please
mute
yourself
and
I'll
remind
our
people
presenting
to
unmute
yourself
when
you
begin
presenting,
as
well
as
to
clearly
state
your
name
for
the
record
when
you
speak.
I
know
it
is
not
a
natural
habit
to
do,
and
we
will
try
to
remind
you
when
at
all
possible,
to
do
so
and
with
that
I
will
start
our
hearing
and
open
up
the
hearing
on
ascent,
our
senate
bill
364,
and
if
we
can
call
senator
scheible
up
to
our
witness
table
and
to
begin
when
you're
ready.
E
Thank
you
so
much
chairwin
and
committee
members.
It
is
wonderful
to
be
here
and
to
be
in
person
I'm
melanie
schaible
for
the
record.
I
represent
senate
district
9
in
clark
county
and
I'm
here
to
present
senate
bill
364
for
your
consideration
throughout
the
nation.
Many
emergency
medical
care
facilities
do
not
offer
victims
of
sexual
assault,
the
treatment
necessary
to
prevent
pregnancy,
and
some
of
them
fail
to
inform
victims
that
it
is
an
option.
Even
though
emergency
contraceptives
are
readily
available.
E
E
medical
facilities.
Failure
to
offer
and
provide
emergency
contraception
means
victims
of
sexual
assault
are
at
risk
of
becoming
pregnant
through
no
fault
of
their
own
senate.
Bill
364
aims
to
ensure
that
victims
of
sexual
assault,
here
in
nevada,
are
informed
about
and
have
access
to
this
necessary
treatment.
It
requires
a
state
board
of
health
state
board
of
health
to
adopt
regulations
requiring
hospitals
and
independent
centers
for
emergency
medical
care
to
provide
training
to
individuals
who
provide
care
to
victims
of
sexual
assault
and
attempted
sexual
assaults.
E
I
am
happy
to
report
that
all
of
the
hospitals
in
nevada
that
I
talked
to
are
supportive
of
this
bill
and
are
already
engaging
in
this
practice.
The
reason
to
bring
the
bill
is
not
to
point
fingers
at
bad
actors
or
to
suggest
that
that
there
are
nevada
hospitals
and
medical
providers
who
are
not
adequately
caring
for
victims
of
survivors
of
sexual
assault.
E
I
just
don't
see
any
reason
that
we
shouldn't
be
putting
into
law
this
kind
of
provision
that
is
supported
by
the
hospital
associations
and
all
the
medical
providers
that
I
spoke
with
to
ensure
that
today
and
every
day
into
the
future.
Anybody
who
reports
to
a
nevada
facility,
be
it
a
hospital
emergency
room
or
other
place
where
emergency
care
is
provided,
be
offered
and
provided
with
the
emergency
contraception
that
they
need
and
their
and
that
they're
entitled
to
receive
if
they
are
the
victim
of
a
sexual
assault.
E
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have
about.
Sb
364
and
I
urge
your
support.
I
also
believe,
I'm
sorry.
I
was
supposed
to
do
my
due
diligence
and
check
and
see
if
my
club
presenters
had
signed
in
on
zoom
or
not,
but
I
do
have
caroline
mello
roberson
available
to
answer
questions.
E
A
A
F
Having
had
a
clinic
that
was
30
miles
away
from
anything
else,
I
didn't
have
an
emergency
room,
didn't
advertise
it
as
an
emergency
room,
was
simply
a
family
practice
office
and
certainly
did
women,
physicals,
etc,
but
occasionally
we
had
a
walk-in
emergency,
a
carry-on
emergency
or
other
thing
come
to
my
office.
Just
wanted
clarification
with
this
effect
on
every
private
office
that
somebody
might
want
getting
with
an
emergency
or
it
has
to
be
have
that
designation
of
either
freestanding
urgent
care.
Are
you?
E
Thank
you,
melanie
schreibel,
for
the
record,
and
this
would,
by
law,
be
limited
to
just
emergency
care
providers.
I
think
the
best
way
that
I
was
able
to
think
about
it,
conversing
with
lcb,
is
any
place
that
a
sane
exam
might
be
conducted
is
the
kind
of
place
that
provides
emergency
care
to
somebody
who
is
a
victim
of
sexual
assault,
although
sometimes
we
see
that
the
problem
is
derives
from
somebody
going
first
to
an
emergency
room
and
then
transferring
to
a
different
center
for
their
sexual
assault
exam.
E
But
I
also
think
it's
important
to
to
point
out
that
the
hope
here
is
that
medical
providers
would
all
want
to
be
doing
this
and
would
want
to
be
providing
people
with
that
kind
of
care,
and
it
applies
specifically
to
emergency
rooms
and
emergency
care
providers.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
senator
for
bringing
this
bill
forward.
I
think
that
it
really
is
necessary,
since
I
was
a
an
advocate,
a
volunteer
advocate
at
the
rape
crisis
center.
So
I
was
wondering
what
that
said.
G
E
Thank
you,
melanie
scheibel,
for
the
record,
and
you
are
correct.
This
is
umc
standard
practice.
This
is
also
standard
practice
throughout
the
las
vegas
valley
and
in
other
parts
of
nevada,
and
so
the
purpose
of
putting
this
into
law
is
to
make
that
uniform
across
the
state
now
and
into
the
future,
and
so
one
of
the
ways
that
we
might
see
this
law
affecting
people
in
real
life
is
that
people
on
the
crisis
call
hotline
would
now
be
able
to
tell
victims
whatever
hospital
you
go
to.
E
You
are
entitled
to
receive
an
emergency
contraceptive,
so
if
they
don't
offer
it
to
you
ask,
and
if
they
don't
offer
it
to
you
they're
in
violation
of
the
law,
you
have
the
right
to
ask
for
it
and
then
they'll
be
able
to
point
to
the
statute
so
that
every
person
who
wants
and
needs
emergency
contraceptive
has
the
power
of
the
law
behind
them,
to
request
it
and
be
entitled
to
it.
A
Thank
you,
and
just
for
clarification
to
for
assembly
woman
titus
both
of
the
terms
as
defined
as
hospital
and
independent
center
for
emergency
care
are
already
specifically
defined
in
chapter
449..
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
senator
schiavo,
it's
lovely
to
see
you
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
ca.
I
have
a
very
small
screen,
and
so
I
can't
have
multiple
things
up,
but
if
you
could
just
go
into
the
bill
the
top
says
there
could
be
a
fiscal
note.
D
Could
you
please
explain
to
us
what
that
might
be,
because
my
question
would
be
about
cost
for
these
facilities,
how
they
would
be
reimbursed
if
that
would
be
through
medicaid
or
medicare
or
just
if
you
can
just
go
into
that
a
little
bit.
E
Absolutely
melanie
scheible
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
I'm
happy
to
report
that
the
fiscal
note
is
zero
across
the
board.
I
think
it
was
completely
appropriate
that
when
this
bill
was
drafted,
it
was
flagged
as
a
possible
fiscal
note.
If
this
was
something
that
our
state-run
hospitals
were
not
already
doing
or
something
medicaid
was
not
already
covering,
then
it
would
have
in
fact
caused
an
increase
in
cost
to
the
state.
D
Thank
you,
so
you
did
mention
specifically
public
facilities.
We
do
have
private
hospitals
if
you
could
sort
of
elaborate
on
how
this
would
affect
them.
Are
they
on
board?
Are
they
expecting
this
to
change
their
bottom
line
at
all?
I
just
think
it.
E
Thank
you,
melanie
scheible
for
the
record,
and
yes,
this
would
also
affect
private
hospitals.
They
would
also
have
to
provide
survivors
of
sexual
assault
with
the
choice
to
get
emergency
contraceptive
and
then
that
emergency
contraceptive,
if
so,
requested
and
all
the
hospitals
that
I
talked
to
are
on
board
the
dignity,
health
center
or
the
dignity,
health,
family
of
hospitals,
st
rose,
dominican,
southern
hills
are
all
on
board
and
I
have
not
received
any
opposition,
of
course.
Always
if
there
is
I'm
happy
to
talk
to
those
people
and
work
through
this
with
them.
E
A
Seeing
none,
I
don't
see
anyone
in
the
room.
Do
we
have
anyone
on
zoom
to
testify
in
support
of
senate
bill
364.

H
I
Thank
you
chair
and
members
of
the
committee.
For
the
record.
My
name
is
tess
oppermann.
Oh,
that's
spelled
o-p-f-e-r-m-a-n
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
nevada
women's
lobby.
This
is
an
incredibly
important
bill
which
makes
it
easier
and
more
accessible
for
victims
of
sexual
assault
to
access
emergency
contraception.
Emergency
contraception
is
not
an
abortion.
Emergency
contraception
prevents
a
pregnancy
from
taking
place
and
is
most
effective
when
taken
within
24
hours
of
the
unplanned
sexual
encounter.
I
Victims
of
sexual
assault
have
faced
an
intense
trauma
and
there
are
a
number
of
things
they
must
do
after
the
encounter,
which
could
include
the
filing
police
reports
taking
drugs
to
prevent
stds
and
taking
taking
emergency
contraception
or
plan
b
to
prevent
pregnancy.
The
nevada
women's
lobby
is
supportive
of
any
measure
that
can
be
taken
to
help
make
this
process
easier.
I
This
bill,
sb
364,
requires
hospitals
and
emergency
medical
centers
to
have
available
emergency
contraception
that
women,
so
that
women
dealing
with
an
assault
can
get
necessary
medicine
quickly
and
easily
without
needing
to
go
to
a
second
location.
This
is
an
important
measure
that
will
help
alleviate
ever
so
slightly
an
awful
situation.
Thank
you.
So
much
senator
scheibel
for
your
work
on
this
legislation.

Hi
this
is

the
record
from
neral

choice,
nevada.
I
am
proud
to
testify
in
support
of
sb
364
senator
scheible's
legislation
to
require
nevada
emergency
rooms
to
make
emergency
contraception
available
to
survivors
of
sexual
assault.

J
Sb
364
is
a
continuation
of
the
successful
2019
effort
led
by
former
assemblywoman
connie
monk,
to
require
nevada
hospitals
to
provide
survivors
with
information
on
where
they
can
access
emergency
contraception.
Emergency
contraception
is
a
safe
and
effective
way
to
prevent
pregnancy.
It
does
not
end
a
pregnancy.
There
are
a
few
types
of
fda
approved
emergency
contraceptives,
including
the
copper
iud
and
two
types
of
birth
control,
pills
or
pills.
Excuse
me
that
are
commonly
referred
to
as
the
morning
after
pill.
J
Depending
on
the
pill,
it
can
be
effective
if
taken
within
three
to
five
days
of
unprotected
sex
emergency
rooms
often
serve
as
an
entry
point
into
the
health
care
system
for
people
who
have
been
sexually
assaulted.
It
is
essential
that
emergency
rooms
provide
access
to
time-sensitive
emergency
contraception,
for
survivors
of
sexual
assault.
Survivors
should
not
need
to
delay
their
care
while
they
seek
this
care
from
other
providers,
and
there
are
many
who
may
not
be
able
to
see
their
primary
care
doctor
for
the
care
they
need,
and
timing
is
really
important.
J
Sb
364
is
a
critical
step
towards
breaking
barriers
down
too
and
ensuring
we
can
all
live
in
a
freer
nevada
that
works
for
everybody.
Nevadans
are
proud
to
live
in
a
state
with
a
long
history
of
trusting
women
making
their
own
personal
health
care
decisions.
With
this
bill,
the
silver
state
can
continue
to
live
at
our
values.
We
urge
the
members
of
this
committee
to
vote
in
favor
of
sb
364..
Thank
you
so
much.
H
K
Good
afternoon
sharon
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record,
my
name
is
serena
evans,
s-e-r-e-n-a-e-v-a-m-s
and
I'm
the
policy
specialist
with
the
nevada
coalition
to
end
domestic
and
sexual
violence.
During
that
2019
legislative
session,
nce
dsb
works
with
assemblywoman
connie
monk
on
her
legislation,
which,
among
other
things,
established
the
provisions
that
are
in
this
bill.
Unfortunately,
the
piece
around
emergency
contraception
was
eventually
amended
out
of
the
bill,
and
so
we're
so
grateful
for
caroline
with
nayworld
pro-choice
and
senator
scheibel
for
bringing
this
important
matter
back
this
session.
K
Excuse
me
to
give
some
context
of
why
this
bill
is
so
important.
I
want
to
share
some
information
with
you
outside
of
my
capacity
at
the
coalition.
I
also
volunteer
as
a
sexual
assault
advocate
here
in
washoe
county.
The
washoe
county
sane
medical
facility
is
not
at
the
hospital
and
is
rather
in
a
different
location
altogether.
This
facility
also
conducts
saint
exams
for
all
of
washoe
county
and
many
of
the
northern
nevada
rural
communities.
K
Contraception
is
not
a
victim-centered
approach,
all
hospitals
and
emergency
contraception.
All
hospitals
should
have
emergency
contraception
on
hand
and
should
dispense
the
medication
when
requested
by
the
victim
survivors.
This
bill
is
a
great
step
in
reducing
the
barriers
that
many
victim
survivors
face
throughout
nevada,
and
we
thank
you
for
your
time.
A
A
L
L
This
is
a
really
simple
bill
and
I'll
tell
you
that
it
came
about
a
couple
years
ago,
when
I
appointed
a
very
prominent
member
in
our
community
in
my
district
to
the
silver
haired
form
and
was
told
at
that
time,
because
she
had
not
lived
in
nevada
for
five
years.
She
was
ineligible
and
I'm
like
you're
kidding
me
right.
L
L
L
4278.320-4278-400,
the
form
is
comprised
of
members
equal
to
the
number
of
state
senators
and
that's
21,
who,
among
other
requisite
qualification,
must
have
been
a
registered
voter
for
three
years
preceding
their
appointment
in
the
senatorial
district
under
senator
who
nominates
them
from
an
appointment.
In
addition,
members
must
have
been
a
resident
of
the
state
of
nevada
for
five
years.

member
is
a
member
of
the
military,
the
changes
proposed
in
this
measure
will
expand.
L
Madam
chair,
let
me
say
this:
the
five-year
requirement
for
someone
who
is
going
to
serve
with
no
pay,
basically
a
volunteer
to
help
us
try
to
solve
some
of
the
issues
that
are
faced
facing
our
seasoned
citizens
didn't
make
sense
to
me,
and
I
think
that
when
we,
when
we
limit
the
number
or
or
the
qualifications
that
people
must
have,
when
we
we
say
it's
got
to
be
five
years,
it's
got
to
be
10
years.
Well,
we've
got
things
that
that
need
to
be
solved
this
year.
L
We
have
things
that
need
to
be
solved
in
the
next
six
months,
so
this
bill
really
affords
an
opportunity
for
those
who
are
otherwise
qualified
to
serve
to
be
appointed
to
the
silverhead
legislative
forum,
and
with
that
I
will
answer
questions.
A
Thank
you,
senator
spearman,
do
we
have
any
ques?
Oh,
it
looks
like
we
have
assemblywoman
titus
go
ahead.
F
F
I've
been
positioned
to
appoint
people
to
different
boards
and
it
is
almost
impossible
to
find
people
willing
to
serve
so
when
you
have
somebody,
that's
good
qualified
and
want
to
do
the
job
that
five
restriction,
which
just
doesn't
even
make
sense.
So
thank
you
for
bringing
some
common
sense
legislation
forward.
F
A
H
A
H
A
Perfect
at
this
time,
I
will
turn
it
back
over
to
you
senator
spearman,
for
any
closing
remarks.
L
L
As
a
matter
of
fact,
I
think
one
of
the
things
one
of
the
greatest
strengths
of
our
state
is
the
fact
that
you
have
people
who
are
coming
in
from
other
places
that
can
give
us
a
fresh
eye
about
how
to
solve
some
of
our
problems
as
common
sense
legislation,
and
I
would
certainly
hope
that
you
all
would
support
this.
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you
for
the
hearing
too.
A
Thank
you,
it's
so
great
to
see
you
and
thank
you
for
bringing
this
piece
of
legislation,
and
with
that
I
will
close
the
hearing
on
senate
bill
123.
A
I
also
note
for
the
record,
assemblyman,
orenlicker
and
assemblywoman
benitez
thompson
are
now
present
with
us
today
and
at
this
time
I
will
open
the
hearing
on
senate
bill
398..
A
E
A
Could
just
take
a
one
minute
recess
for
a
second
and
we'll
see
if
we
can
get
him.
A
H
I
A
You
and
I
think
we
can
come
back
to
order
because
I
believe
I
see
senator
orrinshaw
on
our
zoom
screen.
Again.
We
are
hearing
senate
bill
398
again.
This
bill
revises
provisions
relating
to
the
legislative
committee
on
child
welfare
and
juvenile
justice,
and
I
will
turn
this
over
to
and
welcome
senator
orrinshaw
to
assembly,
health
and
human
services,
and
please
begin
when
you
are
ready.
M
Good
afternoon,
chairwin
members
of
the
assembly
committee
on
health
and
human
services
for
the
record
james
orenshall,
represent
state
senate
district
21..
Thank
you
for
hearing
senate
bill
398
apologize
for
running
late.
I
was
over
physically
in
senate
judiciary
and-
and
here
I
am
remotely,
I
was
hoping
to
be
physically
present
your
committee,
but
this
is
the
next
best
thing
and
we've
made
it
work
so
well,
virtually
through
this
session.
Thank
you
for
letting
me
appear.
Virtually
senate
bill.
M
398
comes
out
of
the
work
of
the
last
interim
interim
committee
on
child
welfare
and
juvenile
justice.
I
had
the
distinct
honor
of
chairing
the
interim
committee
during
the
the
interim,
ably
assisted
by
assemblyman
monroe
moreno,
who
was
the
vice
chair
former
chair
of
that
committee,
tremendous
staff
helping
us
patrick
guynan
from
the
research
division,
julianne
king
eileen,
o'grady
and
carlio
krent
from
the
legal
division,
and
we
were
able
to
have
two
in-person
meetings
before
the
pandemic
hit.
M
We
met
at
the
grant,
sawyer
state
office
building
with
a
patch
through
up
here
to
carson
city
and
then
after
the
pandemic
hit.
We
were
kind
of
not
sure
how
to
go
forward,
but
with
the
tremendous
help
of
legislative
council
bureau
director
erdos
broadcasting
I.t,
we
were
able
to
have
four
additional
virtual
meetings
and
come
up
with
recommendations.
M
M
Commission,
the
statewide
juvenile
justice
oversight
commission
was
formed
out
of
assembly
bill
472,
which
I
believe
was
2017
session
legislation
that
was
spearheaded
by
former
first
lady
kathleen
sandoval
and
former
justice
of
the
nevada
supreme
court
nancy
sata
to
try
to
unify
efforts
at
improving
the
juvenile
justice
system
in
nevada
and
really
there's
a
lot
of
parallels
in
terms
of
the
work
we
can
do
together
in
terms
of
trying
to
help
each
other
and
work
on
legislation
to
reduce
the
number
of
children
who
end
up
in
the
juvenile
justice
system
and
try
to
make
sure
that
if
a
child
does
end
up
in
the
juvenile
justice
system
to
try
to
get
them
the
treatment
and
the
help
they
need
and
try
to
prevent
them.
M
Getting
back
in
the
juvenile
justice
system
or
ending
up
in
the
adult
court
system.
Administrator
armstrong
was
a
tremendous
help
during
the
interim
in
terms
of
information
he
gave
the
committee
and
trying
to
answer
all
our
questions
and.
N
M
Know
he
cares
passionately
about
trying
to
you
know,
meet
those
same
goals
of
helping
children
either
not
get
into
the
juvenile
justice
system
or
try
to
get
the
treatment
and
therapy
that
will
help
them.
M
You
know
get
out
and
not
come
back
with
that
senate
bill
398
certainly
ask
for
some
more
information
from
the
statewide
juvenile
justice
oversight
commission
and
ask
them
to
let
us
know
what
their
legislative
priorities
are.
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
However,
with
your
permission,
the
chair,
I
wonder
if
I
could
go
to
administrator
armstrong
and
anyone
else
would
like
to
speak
in
support
and
defer
questions
after
that.
A
M
C
Yes,
this
is
ross
armstrong
administrator
for
the
division
of
child
and
family
services.
I
want
to
thank
the
senator
and
his
interim
committee
for
bringing
this
bill
for
some
additional
context.
As
the
senator
said,
in
2017,
the
legislature
passed
a
sweeping
juvenile
justice
reform
act.
One
of
the
key
parts
of
that
was
the
establishment
of
the
juvenile
justice
oversight
commission
and
they
had
to
develop
a
five-year
strategic
plan,
and
the
current
strategic
plan
really
focuses
on
four
main
goals,
which
includes
evidence-based
practices
and
programs
used
by
our
service
providers
and
our
government
entities.
C
C
We've
adopted
and
are
working
towards
concrete
and
uniform
data
reporting
measures
so
that
we
can
have
even
more
information
and
really
what
this
bill
helps
us
do
is
it
helps
set
up
the
second
five-year
strategic
plan
for
success,
so
the
current
strategic
plan
is
set
to
expire
in
2023.
C
What
this
bill
does
is
say,
hey,
let
the
legislature
know
before
we
get
to
that
2023
session.
What
has
gone
well
in
that
first
year,
those
first
five
year
strategic
plans.
What
do
you
need?
Maybe
some
legislative
changes
for
to
be
even
more
successful
in
those
second
five
years,
and
so
it
kind
of
helps.
It
helps
smooth
out
the
awkward
timing
of
where
the
session
lands
and
where
the
plan
lands
for
the
five-year
strategic
plan.
C
This
bill
requires
that
the
juvenile
justice
oversight
commission
give
an
update
on
that
five-year
strategic
plan
and
then
provide
any
specific
legislative
recommendations
related
to
improvement
for
the
next
five-year
strategic
plan.
The
disparities,
how
to
address
disparities
in
the
juvenile
justice
system
related
to
race
and
ethnicity.
That's
a
federal
requirement
that
we've
now
put
into
state
law
to
help
us
make
sure
we
continue
to
move
the
needle
on
that
and
then
compliance
with
any
federal
juvenile
justice
act.
C
Sometimes
the
federal
congress
will
pass
a
bill
and
we're
a
little
bit
out
of
alignment,
and
so
are
there
legislative
changes
needed
to
make
sure
we're
in
compliance
with
all
those
federal
requirements.
With
me,
I
have
deputy
administrator
catherine
roos
and
our
juvenile
programs
office
chief
leslie
biddleston.
That
would
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
if
there
are
any,
and
with
that
I'll
hand
it
back
over
to
the
senator.
M
Thank
you
very
much
chair
james
orange
allstate,
senate
district
21,
and
you
know
I,
when
the
juvenile
justice
oversight
commission
was
first
formed,
I
did
have
the
honor
of
getting
to
serve
on
the
advisory
committee
and
at
one
of
the
meetings,
I
certainly
will
never
forget.
M
When
we
had
presentations
from
children
who
had
finished
some
of
the
programs
at
the
cali
anti
youth
center,
our
nevada
youth
training
center
in
elko,
and
they
we
all
met,
and
they
testified
and
told
us
what
they
thought,
what
they
thought
was
working,
what
they
thought
needed
improvement
and
that's
certainly
something
I've.
Never
I've
never
participated
in
before
or
since,
and
it
was
very,
I
think,
important
in
terms
of
trying
to
shape
some
of
the
legislation
that
that
you
hopefully
are
seeing
in
some
of
the
committees
this
session
and
again
a
chair.
M
I
do
believe
catherine
roose,
deputy
administrator
of
quality
and
oversight
and
leslie
biddleston
social
services
chief
at
ndcff
are
here
to
testify
as
well.
A
Perfect,
if
we
can
go
next
to
how
about
miss
leslie
bill,
biddleston.
C
Thank
you
chair.
This
is
ross
armstrong
again.
We
have
miss
biddleston
and
and
miss
roos
here
to
answer
any
questions.
If
there
are
questions
but
there's
no
additional
testimony
from
them
in
terms
of
the
bill
presentation,
I
did
want
to
note
there's
a
letter
of
support
from
the
two
current
co-chairs
of
the
juvenile
justice
oversight
commission
attached
in
nellis,
as
they
are
willing
and
ready
and
excited
about
the
opportunity
to
participate
in
the
bill.
If
it
is
passed.
A
A
Seeing
none,
it
was
just
such
a
perfect
presentation.
We
don't
have
any
questions
for
you
senator
at
this
time.
We
will
go
to
testimony
in
support
of
senate
bill
398.
Is
there
anyone
on
the
zoom
that
would
like
to
testify
and
support?
If
you
would,
I
would
like
ask
you
to
unmute
yourself
state
your
name
for
the
record
and
begin
and
I'm
not
seeing
anyone,
and
I
don't
have
that
fun
access
anymore,
where
I
get
to
see
the
panel
so
broadcast
services.
If
we
can
now
go
to
testimony
in
support
of
senate
bill
398.
H
H
N
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
deshawn
jackson
d-a-s-h-u-n-k-a-c-k-s-o-n
I
serve
as
the
director
of
children's
safety
and
welfare
policy
with
the
children's
ffc
alliance
and
the
children's
advocacy
alliance
descends
in
support
of
senate
bill
3
98.
We
believe
it's
essential
for
the
reform
of
the
juvenile
justice
system.
Thank
you
all.
So
much.
A
A
M
I
personally
believe
that
the
more
more
children
we
can
divert
from
ending
up
at
either
local
or
state
correctional
facilities
is
a
success
if
they
can
stay
at
home
or
stay
in
the
community
and
receive
therapy
and
treatment,
and
I
believe
senate
bill
398
will
go
a
long
way
towards
achieving
that.
M
I
definitely
want
to
thank
judge
egan
walker
of
the
second
judicial
district,
who
serves
as
one
of
the
co-chairs
of
the
juvenile
justice
oversight
commission
since
it's
forming,
as
well
as
joey
orduna
hastings
for
their
tireless
work,
trying
to
improve
the
outcomes
for
children
caught
up
in
the
court
system,
and
I
want
to
thank
administrator
armstrong,
who
has
worked
so
diligently
to
try
to
make
sure
that
if
children
do
end
up
at
a
state
correctional
facility,
they
try
to
get
the
therapy
treatment
that
will
help
them
land
on
their
feet
once
they
go
home
and
also
trying
to
help
find
find
homes
because
sometimes
there's
there's
homes
not
there.
M
A
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
your
unwavering
support
of
children
in
our
state,
and
with
that
I
will
go
ahead
and
close
testimony
close
the
hearing
of
senate
bill
398,
and
at
this
time
I
will
open
the
public
line
for
public
comment.
I
don't
see
anyone
in
the
room
so
broadcast
services.
Do
we
have
anyone
on
the
line
for
public
comment.
A
Perfect,
so
at
this
time
I
before
I
adjourn
that
concludes
our
meeting
for
today.
Our
next
meeting
will
be
on
friday
april
23rd.
It
will
be
at
the
call
of
the
chair.
I
will
try
to
get
everyone
out
as
fast
as
we
can,
but
we
will
be
hearing
some
bills.
I
know
that
we
had
several
come
over
from
the
senate
and
were
read
on
first
read
and
referred
to
our
committee.
So
thank
you
and
a
meeting
is.
