A
Thank
you
good
afternoon.
Everyone
I'm
going
to
call
this
meeting
to
order
of
the
assembly
committee
on
health
and
human
services
again
I'll,
remind
our
members
to
please
a
mute,
your
microphone
or
mute,
my
microphone
as
appropriate,
and
please
turn
on
your
camera.
Adam
secretary.
Please
call
the
roll.
A
C
A
Here,
let's
get
started
welcome
to
our
audience
joining
us
for
this
virtual
hearing
of
health
and
human
services.
Oh
I'm
going
to
backtrack
a
little
bit
if
we
can
just
mark
assemblywoman
black
absent
excuse-
and
I
see
that
we
are
missing
assemblywoman
benita
thompson
and
please
mark
her
present
when
she
arrives.
I
know
she
was
running
a
little
bit
late
and
with
that
we
will
get
started.
We
have
two
bill
hearings
this
afternoon.
A
I've
allocated
equal
time
and
testimony
for
support
opposition
neutral
after
the
bill
introduction,
and
we
will
open
the
hearing
on
assembly
bill
273.
This
bill
revises
provisions
related
to
relating
to
the
mental
health
consortia
for
children.
Assemblywoman
gorlo.
I
know
you
got
two
on
deck
today,
so
we
will
begin
the
hearing
on
assembly
bill
273
begin
when
you're
ready.
D
D
The
assembly
bill
273
would
formally
create
a
statewide
mental
health
consortium
for
the
purpose
of
unifying
regional
health,
consortiums
and
authorize
additional
powers
for
each
consortium.
A
little
background
during
the
2001
special
session,
the
legislature
approved
assembly
bill
1,
which
created
three
regional
mental
health,
consortiums
designed
to
study
the
mental
health
needs
of
children
in
nevada.
The
provisions
of
the
bill
establish
a
consortium
for
clark,
county
washoe
county
and
a
single
rural
consortium
to
preside
over
all
other
counties
pursuant
to
nrs
433b
335.
D
D
D
We're
all
aware
of
the
surge
of
mental
illness
brought
on
by
the
covid
pandemic.
Our
children
and
young
adult
populations
have
been
hit
particularly
hard
with
the
closure
of
in-person
education
and
widespread
social
isolation.
The
startling
number
of
teen
suicides
in
this
state
over
the
last
year
has
tragically
demonstrated
the
profound
need
to
expand
mental
health
services.
D
D
Finally,
section
six
grants
each
consortium
the
ability
to
request
one
bill
draft
for
each
regular
legislative
session
inception,
section:
seven
places
this
update
in
nrs.
The
ab273
empowers
our
mental
health
consortiums
throughout
the
state
and
gives
them
the
tools
to
make
corrective
changes
to
the
quality
of
care
for
mental
illness.
I
will
now
hand
the
presentation
over
to
dan,
musgrove
and
char
frost,
make
additional
comments
on
the
bill
before
turning
it
to
the
committee
for
questions.
Thank
you.
E
E
You
know
we
kind
of
act
as
fiduciaries.
You
know
the
definition
of
a
fiduciary
is
someone
who
acts
in
the
best
interest
of
others.
You
know
they
kind
of
remove
the
hat
that
they
they
come
from.
They
work
on
a
daily
basis
and
they
focus
on
what's
in
the
best
interest
of
children,
and
that's
what's
been
so
great
about
the
consortiums
is
that
you
know
we
have
folks
from
the
state
we
have
folks
from
the
county.
E
We
have
folks
from
the
school
district,
we
have
parents,
we
have
a
person
like
myself
who
comes
from
the
business
industry
who
get
together,
take
off
those
hats
from
the
different
agencies
that
we
represent
and
just
focus
on.
What
is
right
for
our
kids
and
as
the
assemblyman
said,
we
have
a
crisis
and
it's
you
know
it's.
It's
not
new
to
us
for
those
that
have
been
working
on
the
consortiums
I
mean
former
speaker,
barbara
buckley
was
so
ahead
of
her
time
when
she
created
the
consortiums
back
in
2001
and
again.
E
E
All
those
folks
from
from
from
from
different
entities
exists
at
the
statewide
level
as
well,
and
I
also
want
to
just
put
on
the
record
that
we've
been
in
consultation
with
clark,
county
and
clark
county
plays
a
very
important
role
in
our
regional
clark
consortium.
But
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
clark,
each
as
the
bill
specifies
each
consortium
will
get
the
option
of
putting
three
members
on
the
statewide
consortium.
E
We're
committing
to
clark
county
to
make
sure
that
one
of
our
three
is
a
clark
county
representative,
because
it's
it's
crucial
that
they
have
the
opportunity
to
work
across
state.
You
know
across
the
state
and
work
with
people
at
the
regional
and
state
level,
and
so
we
make
that
commitment
that
we're
going
to
put
that
in
our
bylaws.
So
I'm
open
to
any
questions,
and
I
thank
you
again
for
the
opportunity
to
testify
on
this
friday
afternoon.
A
F
F
Sorry,
I'm
here
today
representing
the
clark
regional
behavioral
health
policy
board,
which
I
am
the
chair,
but
I
also
have
the
privilege
of
serving
as
a
parent
representative
on
both
the
clark
county,
children's
mental
health
consortium,
as
well
as
in
nevada,
behavioral
health
consortium.
F
F
It's
really
just
one
of
those
really
great
relationships
to
have
somebody
who's
focusing
on
children,
so
I'm
here
to
support
it,
and
I
also
want
to
also
mention
that
in
the
course
of
writing
the
language
for
this
bill,
not
only
did
we
work
with
the
state
consortium,
but
we
also
took
the
bill
to
each
of
the
regional
consortiums
and
were,
and
they
each
unanimously
supported
the
bill,
as
as
you
see
it
today,
so
we're
very
excited
that
we're
able
to
have
these
great
relationships
within
the
state
and
hope
to
that
this
state
consortium
can
continue
doing
the
work
it's
already
doing
in
a
more
formal,
codified
way.
A
G
Thank
you
chair.
I
was
just
hoping
you
could
give
us
a
little
more
discussion
on
how
you
decided
on
the
type
of
membership
for
the
consortia
particularly
interested
in
the
ex
officio
administrator
or
deputy
administrator
rather
than
or
designated
representative,
and
then
and
then
how
you
decided
on
specifying
the
division
of
healthcare,
financing
and
policy,
because
it
appears
that
they
may
also
be
represented
on
the
regional
consortium.
So
the
justification
there.
G
D
E
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
chair.
It
answered
that
question.
One
of
the
first
things
we
wanted
to
do
was
a
make
sure
that
the
board
was
of
a
size
that
was
workable.
You
know,
as
you
can
see,
by
the
membership
on
the
regional
consortiums,
there's
there's
a
lot
of
folks
that
are
represented,
and
we
try
to
mimic
that
at
the
statewide
consortium,
because
we
just
want,
especially
when
it
comes
to.
You
know,
someone
from
the
state
again
dcfs
and
then
also
medicaid.
E
It's
important
that
that
when
we
work
together
with
the
three
regional
consortiums
that
they
are
in
fact
hearing
that
information,
that's
coming
statewide
because
sometimes
like
we
have
a
person
in
the
clark
office.
Excuse
me
the
clark
consortium
that
comes
from
southern
nevada
and
so
and
it's
it's
the
same
way
with
the
washoe
or
the
regional
one.
They
have
representatives
who
work
in
those
areas,
and
so
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
again
we're
speaking
and
bringing
information
that
comes
from
those
areas.
E
But
when
we
have
someone
on
the
statewide
consortium,
we're
speaking
to
someone
that's
at
a
level
that
can
kind
of
you
look
at
the
whole
state
and
it
is
not
just
regionally
kind
of
you
know
centric,
and
so
I
I'm
hoping
I
got
all
that
you
know,
and
I
think
it's
the
other
thing
is
too
is
each
of
the
consortiums
will
want
to
make
sure
that
there
is
a
probably
a
unique
voice
on
as
their
representatives
and-
and
we
also,
of
course,
want
to
make
sure
that
parents
are
involved
because
they
are
the
ones
that
truly,
you
know,
experience
firsthand
what
it's
like
to
to
have
one
of
their
children
or
multiple
children
who
are
affected
by
behavioral
health
issues.
G
Thank
you.
That
is
helpful.
I
think
the
only
one
that
I
missed,
and
it
may
have
been
because
I
was
thinking
while
you
were
talking-
was
on
the
ex-officio
and
and
why
designating
the
deputy
administrator
versus
just
generalizing
as
a
representative.
E
Again,
I'm
pretty
sure
you
know
we
want
to
make
sure
it's
someone
that
can
attend
the
meetings
and
obviously
I
think
you
know
having
someone
at
the
director
level
may
not
be
able
to.
You
know,
have
the
time
and
again
for
us,
it's
all
about
participation.
E
You
know
we
want
folks
that
are
committed
to
this
process
and
and
belief
in
our
kids
and
and
have
the
time
and
and
effort,
because
believe
me,
this
is
all
for
most
of
us.
This
is
all
volunteer
work.
This
is
stuff
that
we
do
outside
of
our
regular
jobs
and
and
and
and
believe
me,
it
is
a
huge
time
commitment.
I
mean
at
the
clark
consortium
we,
we
have
two
meetings
a
month
that
usually
lasts
two
or
more
hours
and
then
the
statewide
consortium
meets
usually
either
bi-monthly
or
quarterly.
E
And
again,
that's
usually
a
two
to
three
hour
meeting
so
and
that
doesn't
even
count
all
the
the
work
that
you
do
in
preparation
for
those
subcommittees
and
stuff,
and
I
think
you
know
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
chose
people,
and
this
was
in
consult
consultation
with
those
agencies
as
to
who
they
thought
might
be
best.
The
best
representative
to
sit
on
the
statewide
consortium
and
and
if
char,
if
I've
missed
anything,
I'd,
ask
char
frost
to
fill
in
the
gaps.
F
I
think
you
got
it
dan,
this
shark
ross
for
the
record.
You
know
we
we
spent
a
lot
of
time,
thinking
about
who
we,
who
would
be
the
best
fit
as
far
as
the
the
administrator
we
made
it,
we
really
thought
that
by
making
it
an
ex
officio,
it
gave
them
a
little
more
latitude
to
send.
G
Okay,
I
just
want
to
be
clear
because
I
don't
like
it
as
the
administrator
may
designate
a
deputy
administrator
of
the
division
to
attend
any
meeting.
I
don't
read
that
as
or
other
designee,
so
if
the
intention
is
to
to
give
them
some
latitude
on
ensuring
someone
is
at
the
meeting
at
a
minimum,
I
I
just
would
would
review
that
and
make
sure
that
language
matches
the
intention.
Thank
you
thanks.
H
I
serve,
as
I
think
ms
frost
does,
on
one
of
the
regional
behavior
health
care
policy
boards,
and
I'm
wondering
if
this
is
in
a
slight
duplication
of
some
of
the
stuff
that
these
regional
health
care
policy
boards
are
doing.
Can
you
clarify
that
this
is
kind
of
a
unique
position?
I
think
mr
musgrove
you
serve
on
it
also
and
one
in
clark,
county
and
so
again
our
is
this
duplication.
Are
we?
Are
we
spreading
our
resources
out
when
we
really
need
to
be
kind
of
consolidating
them,
so
that
we're
all
communication
communicating
together?
H
E
So
there's
myself,
there's
char
frost.
We
have
jackie
harris.
All
three
of
us
serve
in
both
capacities.
So
then
we
have
the
ability
to
both
be
focusing
on
adult
issues,
but
also
bring
in
the
work
that
the
consortiums
do
and
make
sure
that
that
that
can
the
regional
policy
boards
aren't
operating
in
a
vacuum.
They
hear
those
issues
we're
advocates
on
both
and
again
that
way
there
we
don't.
We
think
that
there
isn't
the
duplication.
We've
got
everybody
working
in
their
in
their
separate
spheres
of
influence,
but
then
coming
together
and
bringing
that
information
together.
H
Thank
you
for
that
answer.
Follow-Up.
Madam
chair.
Go
ahead
this
this
may
you
mentioned
serving
on
a
couple
of
the
consortium
and
the
boards,
and
that
brought
up
another
question
for
me,
because
I've
had
constituents
that
have
wanted
to
serve
on
more
than
one
board
and
I
guess
a
consortium.
This
isn't
a
governor-appointed
board,
so
you
can
serve
on
more
than
one
board
because
currently
in
statute
and
legal
can
clarify
this
for
us,
please
that
you
can
only
serve
on
one
appointed
board
at
a
time.
H
You
cannot
serve
on
more
than
one
appointed
board.
So
is
this
consortium
not
considered
that?
Would
this
not
be
a
conflict
then,
because
I've
got
a
legal
opinion
from
our
staff
on
this
other
appointment
that
I
was
trying
to
do,
who
already
served
on
another
board
that
we
could
they
couldn't
serve
on
more
than
one
board
at
a
time.
So
does
a
consortium
not
fall
under
that.
E
Madam
chair
dan
musgrove
excellent
question.
The
way
I
know
that
the
consortium
is
set
up
is
that
it
was
goes
to
the
administrator
of
dcfs,
so
dcfs
has
to
approve
every
nomination
that
comes
from
the
board
and
then
he
that
administrator
actually
is
the
one
who
who
makes
the
official
designation
and
then,
as
you
know,
that
on
the
regional
policy
boards,
a
number
of
those
positions
are
appointed
by
different
folks.
The
governor
gets
a
couple.
E
The
legislature
gets
a
couple,
but
I
I
would
have
to
yield
to
legal
counsel,
for
that
interpretation
looks
like
I
might
be
getting
kicked
off
the
board
here.
I
don't
know
no.
H
I
wouldn't
have
thought
anything
of
it,
except
that
I
tried
to
appoint
this
poor
person.
That's
on
our
board
behavior
health
policy.
Another
board,
as
we
know,
we
have
difficulty
getting
people
to
volunteer
so
people
who
are
already
engaged
great,
but
we
were
told
we
couldn't
because
there
and
there's
a
bill
to
fix
that.
There
is
a
bill
that
neco's
bringing
forward
that
we
shouldn't
address
another
bill,
but
here,
but
there
is
a
bill
to
fix
that,
because
we've
run
into
this
before
that
people
that
are
trained
people
are
volunteering.
H
People
want
to
serve,
there's
a
limit
to
that
and
so
and
echo
according
to
at
least
I
think
it's
out
there
somewhere
nato's
bill
is
coming
forward,
so
to
fix
it.
But
right
now
I'm
just
question
mark
and
the
question
might
be
that
this
is
a
consul.
The
answer
might
be
that
this
is
a
consortium
not
appointed
by
the
governor,
so
there's
where
the
restriction
is
and
if
our
legal
is
available
at
some
point
we
could
get
some
clarity
on
it,
but
I
know
they're
all
busy
so.
A
Rush
I'll
win
here,
I
I
assemblywoman
titus.
I
I
do
believe
there
is
a
bill
floating
around
that
is
being
brought
by
naco.
I
haven't,
I
don't
know
if
it
has
been
heard
yet,
but
I
do
I
have
heard
that
same
thing.
We
have
some
of
the
same
problems
on
several
other
interim
committees
that
I
served
on
where
we
had
to
have
people
get
off
of
the
committees
and
other
people
had
to
get
on
because
of
that
same
problem.
A
Then
next
we
have
assemblywoman
benitez
thompson.
Of
course
you
just
put
something
in
her
mouth.
I'm
sorry!
Do
you
want
me
to
come
back
to
you
in
a
second?
Do
we
have
any
other
questions
from
committee
members?
I'm
ready?
Okay,
sorry,
bad
timing,
bad
timing
and
I
appreciate
you.
I
I
My
question
was
kind
of
in
the
same
vein,
but
a
little
bit
differently
as
someone
who
had
to
work
with
the
getting
the
appointments
in
on
the
regional
behavioral
health
board
and
then
the
reappointments
and
the
reappointments,
it
became
really
hard
to
fill
some
of
those
spots
because
they
were
so
specifically
written,
and
you
know
to
echo
what
mr
musgrove
says:
there's
a
dedicated
core
of
people
who
speak
this
truth
and
work
in
this
in
this
field
all
the
time,
but
it
does
tend
to
be
a
dedicated
core,
and
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that.
I
Section
two:
when
you're
thinking
about
with,
I
think
it's
nine
members
you're
not
ending
up
in
a
place
where
you're
inadvertently,
making
it
more
onerous
for
certain
types
of
people.
So
I
think
I
was
looking
at
it
looks
like
there's
a
total
of
six
members
coming
from
the
regional
consortia
onto
the
national
consortium
board,
three
from
the
local
consortia
and
then
three
parents
of
children,
and
so
it
depending
on.
I
guess
how
often
on
people
are
meeting
or
how
frequently
they're
meeting.
I
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
there
you
weren't,
inadvertently,
building
a
structure
by
which
you've
got
the
majority
of
your
board.
Six
members
who
this
might
be
the
third
meeting
that
they
have
in
a
month
and
you
know
if
they
don't
attend
or
if
you,
if
it
if
it
becomes
too
much
in
terms
of
attendance,
that
you
don't
end
up
in
a
space
where
you
don't
have
a
quorum
and
so
that
that's
just
what
I
was
thinking
of
just
fruit
food
for
thought.
I
don't
need
a
response
on
it.
I
Just
kind
of
food
for
thought.
The
one
thing
I
did
kind
of
want
to
make
sure
that
we
do
get
flushed
out
in
the
legislative
record
is
so
it
goes
in
and
talks
about
one
of
the
board
duties
being
recommendations
and
approving
plans
that
could
prevent
placement
of
children,
and
I
guess
I
want
to
know
more
about
what
the
intent
is
on.
That
word
approve.
E
If
I
may,
man,
I'm
chair
dan
musgrove,
and
I
that
question
was
also
brought
up
to
us
by
clark,
county
and
and
I
and
I
can
assure
you
that
it
really
falls
into
that-
that
discussion
I
had
about
being
a
fiduciary.
E
I
think
that
there
isn't
any
doubt
that
we
are
very
strong
and
passionate
advocates
when
it
comes
to
children,
and
there
are
times
when
we
disagree
with
perhaps
the
direction
that
is,
that
an
agency
might
be
taking,
and
so
it
won't
certainly
be
a
blanket
approval.
E
We
bring
those
priorities
from
all
three
consortiums
to
the
legislature
to
make
sure
that,
as
you
begin
a
session
you're
aware
of
those
priorities-
and
sometimes
they
don't
always
fall
in
sync
with,
perhaps
that
which
the
state
has
already
approved,
and
so
it
really
is
just
an
opportunity
for
us
to
to
be
a
part
of
that
decision
making
and
make
sure
that
they
understand
where
the
consortiums
are
coming
from,
and
so
that's
what
we
kind
of
saw
as
our
approval
it.
It
doesn't
mean
we
necessarily
will
approve
it.
I
I
I
just
I
guess,
I'm
wondering,
and
we
might
want
to
get
more
clarification
from
legal
if
we
as
a
legislature
approve
the
statute
with
the
word
approve
in
there,
how
that
might
be
interpreted
that
when
you've
got
a
board,
especially
that
has
three
members
on
there
from
state
government,
medicaid,
education
and
dcfs,
that
you
know
if
you've
got
a
dissenting
vote,
where
those
three
folks
might
vote
to
support
a
state
measure,
because
they
are
agents
of
the
state
and
then
you've
got
six
votes
who
don't
then
the
board
representation
would
be
for
a
no
and
then
whether
how
much
weight
that
no
would
carry
in
terms
of
effect
of
whether
or
not
a
policy
would
go
through
the
state.
I
So
I'm
just
wondering
if
it's,
if
recommendation
alone
covers
that
and
that
I
wouldn't
want
the
unintended
consequence
to
be
that
actually,
if
the
board
voted
something
down
that
it
would
prevent
the
state
from
taking
an
action
versus
just
having
a
record
that
you
are
in
opposition
to
that
action.
Do
you
know
what
I
mean.
E
Absolutely
chair
dan
musgrove-
that
is
an
excellent
point,
and,
and
I
and
I
I
still
think
that
perhaps
in
in
the
statute
I'd
have
to
review,
we
still
are
advisory
only
and
but
again
I
think,
that's
probably
a
a
very
good
question
to
ask
of
legal,
because
we
certainly,
I
think,
you're
right.
We
certainly
shouldn't
be
in
the
position,
potentially
of
of
delaying
any
any
kind
of
important
state
program.
That's
already
been
approved
by
this
legislature,
for
instance,
to
go
forward.
So
I'm
sure
I
know
that
you're
not
giving
us
that
much
authority.
I
E
I
You
would
ask
for
it,
and
I
know
if
you
got
it,
I
wouldn't
give
it
away.
Neither
would
I
so
that's
what
I
think.
Well,
we
could
just
madam
chair
just
make
sure.
We've
got
that
I
guess
either
intent
right
or
that
word
right
so
that
we
don't
inadvertently
set
ourselves
all
up
for
a
place
where
could
be
kind
of
magical,
but
then
actually
could
be
more
problematic
than
what
we
think.
So
we
don't
want
to
have
to
come
back
and
just
strike
that
section
out
so.
A
We're
definitely
taking
some
notes.
I
see
assemblywoman
garlow
there
jotting
down
some
things
that
I'm
sure
she
will
follow
up
with
legal
to
make
sure
that
our
intent
and
there
aren't
those
unintended
consequences.
Oh
and
I
said
one
of
those
buzz
words,
I
hate
that
anyway,
seeing
no
other
questions
from
the
members,
I
think
we
will
be.
A
Sorry
we
will
begin
testimony
and
support
opposition
and
neutral
of
assembly
bill
273.
I
will
remind
callers,
please
clearly,
state
and
spell
your
name
for
the
record
and
please
limit
your
testimony
to
two
minutes.
Staff
will
be
timing,
each
member
to
ensure
we're
given
a
fair
opportunity
to
speak
and
broadcast
services
if
we
could
go
to
and
begin
support
testimony
of
assembly
bill,
273.
J
A
It
was
my
fault,
it's
the
it's
the
end
of
the
week.
Do
we
have
any
callers
in
neutral?
I
think
I
know
the
answer,
but
just
to
double
check.
J
Queue
chair:
there
are
no
callers
in
neutral
this
time.
A
D
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
chair
again,
an
official
statewide
middle
consortium
is
long
overdue.
It's
time
to
unify
the
regional
bodies,
empower
them
to
affect
change.
I
want
to
take
a
moment
and
thank
both
dan
musgrove
and
shar
frost
for
being
here
today
and
testifying
on
this,
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
the
committee
and
legal
and
looking
at
some
of
the
changes
that
need
to
be
made.
So
thank
you
very
much.
A
D
D
In
advance
of
any
bill
description,
I
will
forewarn
the
community
that
parts
of
the
bill
are
in
the
process
of
being
workshopped
with
stakeholders,
so
there
will
be
changes
coming
up
to
push
so
the
background
and
the
problem
for
this
legislation.
I
just
start
with.
I
received
a
phone
call
from
one
of
my
constituents
who
brought
this
problem
to
my
attention
and
thought
it
was
a
great
bill
to
bring
forward
it
pushes
to
expand
bathroom
access
in
over
15
years.
D
D
D
Ali
is
not
alone
in
dealing
with
the
struggles
of
crohn's
disease
and
ulcerative
colitis.
The
cdc
estimates
that
more
than
3
million
americans
have
an
irritable,
bowel
condition
and
the
ulcerative
colitis
association
projects
that
as
many
as
700
000
americans
receive
an
ibd
diagnosis
annually.
Those
with
these
conditions
deserve
peace
of
mind.
They
deserve
to
know
that
a
bathroom
is
never
too
far
out
of
reach
when
an
attack
occurs.
D
The
bulk
of
ab283
is
contained
within
section
1
of
the
bill.
Section
1,
subsection
1
establishes
four
conditions
under
which
retailers
with
an
employee
bathroom
must
provide
access
to
eligible
persons
during
regular
business
hours.
The
customer
must
provide
proof
in
writing
of
their
condition.
This
includes
a
copied
statement
signed
by
the
customers,
health
care,
professional
attesting
to
their
condition
or
an
identification
card
issued
by
a
health
related,
non-profit
condition.
Two
three
or
more
employees
must
be
present
and
working
at
the
time
of
the
request
condition.
D
D
Subsection
two
does
the
civil
liability
exemptions
for
retailers
that
deny
or
approve
bathroom
access
as
per
the
bill,
retailers
are
exempt
from
liability
if
they
are
not
willfully
negligent.
Restroom
access
occurs
in
an
area
not
accessible
to
the
public
or
the
customer
gets
injured.
Currently,
we
are
in
discussion
with
stakeholders
on
both
sides
of
this
issue
to
amend
subsection
two's
liability
provisions,
but
it
doesn't
embolden
businesses
to
deny
access,
but
at
the
same
time
doesn't
leave
them
without
reasonable
protections.
D
Subsection
three
of
the
bill
establishes
a
civil
penalty
of
not
more
than
a
hundred
dollars
for
an
employee
or
retailer
that
violates
subsection
one
and
finally,
subsection
four
divides
terms.
The
two
most
significant
definitions
as
they
relate
to
the
scope
of
the
bill
are
eligible.
Medical
conditions
and
retail
establishments
eligible
medical
conditions
would
include
crohn's
disease
ultraviolitis
ulcer
telom.
D
I
can't
say
that
colitis,
irritable
and
inflammatory
bowel
disorders
and
conditions
requiring
the
use
of
an
ostomy
device,
I'm
having
trouble
talking
today,
it's
friday,
sorry
and
any
other
permanent
or
temporary
medical
condition
that
necessitates
bathroom
access,
for
example
a
pregnancy
as
it
stands.
The
definition
of
retail
establishment
is
broad.
It
includes
any
business
place
offering
a
good
or
service.
However,
again
we
are
working
with
commerce
chambers
and
the
nevada
retail
association
to
refine
the
scope
of
qualifying
retail
establishments.
D
K
Thank
you,
assemblywoman,
gorlo
and
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
committee.
Thank
you
all
so
much
for
taking
the
time
to
listen
to
my
testimony.
My
name
is
alex
seemo
last
name
cimo,
and
I
want
you
all
to
just
take
a
moment
to
reflect
back
on
a
time
in
your
life,
where
you
felt
especially
vulnerable,
maybe
the
most
vulnerable.
When
you
reflect
back
on
that,
how
did
you
feel
in
that
moment?
K
Did
you
feel
helpless
alone
embarrassed
mortified,
even
what
about
defeated
now,
as
you
continue
to
reflect
back
on
that
memory
and
ask
yourself,
is
there
anything
I
could
have
done
to
change
that
outcome
as
someone
who
has
suffered
from
ulcerative
colitis
for
over
the
past
10
years
of
my
life,
this
is
just
one
of
many
questions
that
I,
as
well
as
many
others
who
suffer
from
inflammatory
bowel
diseases
constantly
ask
ourselves
as
we
live
our
lives
on
a
daily
basis,
where's
the
closest
restroom.
Does
this
business
even
have
a
restroom?
K
What's
the
quickest
way
for
me
to
get
to
the
restroom
in
case,
I
suddenly
feel
the
urge
to
use
it.
What
if
I'm
driving-
and
I
have
to
make
an
abrupt,
stop
and
find
a
way
to
relieve
myself?
Well,
the
businesses
in
the
area
of
town
that
I'm
driving
through
even
have
public
restroom
access.
What,
if
I'm
presenting
testimony
in
the
middle
of
presenting
to
the
nevada
legislator
and
have
to
suddenly
excuse
myself?
These
are
all
things
that
run
through
our
mind
on
a
daily
basis
and
our
lives
are
conformed
around
that
mentality.
K
K
Ibds
are
disorders
that
involve
chronic
inflammation
of
the
digestive
tract
resulting
in
symptoms
such
as
chronic
diarrhea
fatigue,
abdominal
pain
and
cramping,
and
most
salient
to
this
testimony
uncontrollable
bowel
movements,
depending
on
the
severity
of
the
condition.
These
bowel
movements
can
occur
anywhere
from
6
to
16
times
per
day,
sometimes
even
more,
depending
on.
If
there's
a
flare.
K
What
would
you
do
if
you
were
in
a
part
of
town
and
it
has
limited
access
to
a
public
restroom?
We've
all
been
in
that
situation
right.
We
just
hold
it.
You
would
either
just
wait
until
you
get
home
and
then
you
can
use
the
restroom
at
your
house
or
you
wait
until
you
get
into
an
area
of
town
that
does
have
more
easy
access
to
a
public
restroom.
K
Well,
people
with
ulcerative,
colitis
and
crohn's
disease
can't
hold
it,
and
if
we
can
it's
for
a
very
short
period
of
time,
the
physical
stress
is
already
severe
enough,
but
the
mental
stress
that
comes
along
with
it
is
another
battle
entirely.
Our
disease
dictates
our
life
decisions
and
the
amount
of
dates,
family
gatherings
and
life
celebrations.
K
I've
had
to
miss
out
on
as
a
result
of
my
ulcerative
colitis
is
unfathomable,
because
in
the
back
of
my
mind,
there's
always
that
lingering
question
what
if
there
isn't
access
to
a
restroom
one
time
I
was
with
a
friend
at
a
record,
store
and
felt
the
urge
to
use
the
restroom.
This
record
store
was
located
within
a
part
of
town
that
had
very
limited
access
to
public
restrooms,
and
the
sides
displayed
all
throughout
the
store
made
it
abundantly
clear
that
I
would
need
to
seek
a
restroom
elsewhere.
K
This
record
store
was
located
in
a
strip
mall
with
several
other
small
businesses
and,
as
I
scored
from
one
business
to
the
next
trying
my
best
to
remain
calm,
each
one
had
signage
in
the
front
window
saying
no
public
restroom,
I
was
panicking.
Am
I
gonna
make
it
soon
enough?
The
inevitable
happened,
and
I
soiled
myself
in
public.
I
eventually
made
my
way
over
to
a
fast
food
restaurant
that
was
across
a
major
public
road
and
was
granted
access
to
the
restroom
to
be
in
cleaning
myself
up.
K
Fortunately,
I
was
out
with
a
friend
and
after
notifying
him
about
what
had
happened.
I
had
him
retrieve
a
backpack
that
I
always
keep
in
my
car,
packed
with
cleaning
wipes
a
fresh
change
of
clothes,
and
a
note
that
says
everything
will
be
okay,
just
to
help
me
remember
that
this
too
shall
pass
one
of
the
inadvertent
side
effects
of
ulcerative,
colitis
and
crohn's
disease.
Is
that
you
can't
physically
see
our
condition.
You
can't
see
what
we're
going
through.
What
we're
struggling
with.
K
Did
you
know
that
over
three
million
americans
suffer
from
either
ulcerative
colitis
or
crohn's
disease
and
that's
over
one
percent
of
the
population
and
if
you're,
asking
yourself?
Why
is
this
the
first
time
I'm
hearing
about
this?
It's
because
it's
embarrassing.
It's
simple!
No
one
wants
to
talk
about
all
the
times
that
they
have
to
use
the
restroom
in
a
day.
No
one
wants
to
talk
about
the
times
that
they've
actually
soiled
themselves
in
public
and
imagine
if
it
was
me
10
years
ago,
when
I
first
started
having
symptoms
of
ulcerative
colitis.
K
K
At
this
very
moment,
I
actually
carry
in
my
wallet
a
urgent
medical
notice
card
that
is,
from
the
crohn's
and
colitis
foundation,
which
is
a
non-profit
and
hoping
in
emergency
situations.
I'm
able
to
quickly
obtain
access
to
a
public
restroom
where
it
may
not
be
easy
for
me
to
do
so.
This
card
doesn't
actually
have
any
legal
backing.
It's
really
just
more
for
peace
of
mind
more
than
anything
because
just
carrying
it.
K
If
you
recall
back
to
the
beginning
of
my
testimony,
I
had
you
ask
yourselves:
is
there
anything
I
could
have
done
to
change
the
outcome
of
a
time
where
you
personally
felt
especially
vulnerable,
helpless
alone
or
embarrassed,
and
today
you
all
have
the
power
to
help
change
the
outcome
for
nevadans
suffering
from
these
incurable
inflammatory
bowel
diseases
and
can
help
us
provide
a
better
way
of
life.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
A
D
L
J-E-N-N-I-F-E-R-C-A-M-P-B-E-L-L-
and
I
am
the
executive
director
of
the
nevada
chapter
of
the
cohitis
foundation,
first,
I'd
like
to
thank
you,
chair
wynn,
vice
president
peters
and
honorable
members
of
the
committee
for
your
time
and
consideration
in
this
important
issue.
I'd
also
like
to
thank
alex
for
his
testimony.
L
He
is
certainly
not
alone
in
his
experience
and
he
really
summed
up
anything.
I
think
that
I
could
have
said
in
further
support.
L
L
When
I,
I
should
say
that
ibd
does,
as
alex
mentioned,
cause
many
patients
to
worry
about
whether
or
not
they'll
have
access
to
a
restroom
when
they're
in
public,
and
it
absolutely
changes
how
they
are
able
to
go
about
their
daily
lives
and
in
fact,
about
a
year
ago,
when
our
pandemic
began
and
and
we
all
were
asked
to
stay
at
home,
I
was
speaking
to
a
patient.
L
Who
is
one
of
our
support
group
leaders
and
she
said:
oh
heck,
I've
been
training
for
this
for
the
last
15
years,
once
I
was
diagnosed
with
crohn's
disease,
I
never
I
don't
like
leaving
my
house
because
there
I
never
know
when
I'm
going
to
need
access
to
a
restroom,
and
I
won't
have
it.
So
it's
absolutely
something
that
our
patients
need
to
deal
with
every
single
day.
The
card
that
alex
mentioned
is
we
casually
call
it
the.
L
I
can't
wait
card
and
they
are
cards
that
we
make
available
to
crohn's
or
ulcerative
colitis
patients
in
an
effort
to
empower
them
to
give
them
a
tool
so
that
they
can
say.
I
I
have
a
disease
and
I
need
I
need
help
right
away
and
and
to
like.
He
said
many
establishments,
credit
that
sometimes
is
enough,
but
sometimes
it's
not,
and
without
that
card
and
with
those
signs
in
the
windows,
it
can
feel
really
defeating
for
a
patient
to
not
have
the
opportunity
to
use
the
facility
as
they
need
to.
L
So
we
at
the
crohn's
and
colitis
foundation
are
in
full
support
of
assembly
bill
283
and
hopefully
we
can
seek
a
time
where
patients
do
have
increased
access
to
restrooms.
And
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
your
time
and
consideration
of
this
bill
and
we
ask
that
we
move
to
or
that
you
all
will
move
to
move
the
bill
out
of
the
committee
and
thank
you
all
very
much.
A
D
No,
that
should
be
our
last
presenter.
Okay,
we're
available
for.
C
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
assemblywoman
corollo,
for
presenting
the
bill.
Thank
you
also,
mr
simo
and
ms
campbell
for
your
testimony,
just
as
a
point
of
clarification
with
this
supply
to
on
the
definition
of
customers,
those
who
are
already
in
the
retail
establishment.
C
You
know
as
a
customer
either
to
purchase
something
or
for
other
purposes,
or
would
this
apply
to
those
who
would
be
coming
into
the
establishment
solely
for
the
purpose
of
using
the
restroom
based
on
the
testimony?
It
sounds
like
the
intent
is
the
latter,
but
I
just
was
hoping
to
get
that
as
a
point
of
clarification.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you,
assemblyman
matthews,
for
the
record
71
michelle
guerlo
to
you
through
chairwin.
Yes,
the
intent
is
that
anyone
coming
into
an
establishment
that
may
need
to
use
a
bathroom
does
not
necessarily
need
to
buy
a
stick
of
gum
to
do
so
that
they
can
use
the
bathroom.
So
thank
you
for
the
question.
C
So
just
as
a
quick
follow-up,
then,
if
I
may
madam
chair.
C
So
then,
and
and
thank
you
for
that
assemblywoman,
and
so
it
would
then
be
unlawful,
for
example,
the
business
owner
to
make
you
know
purchasing
something
a
condition
of
using
the
restroom.
That
would
be
the
intent.
D
Again
for
the
record
semi
michelle
gorlo.
Yes,
that
is
the
intent
that
anyone
who
may
need
to
use
the
bathroom.
As
mr
semo
had
stated,
he
was
going
down
a
strip
mall
continually
finding
that
he
could
not
use
any
of
the
restrooms,
and
so
the
intent
is
that
someone
could
come
in
use
that
card
and
use
the
bathroom.
So
thank
you.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
thank
you.
Assimilate
guerlo
for
for
bringing
the
bill
and,
and
especially
thank
you
for
the
testimony
on
the
need.
I
won't
use
a
hun
on
the,
but
I
will
actually
use
on
the
urgency
of
bringing
this
bill
forward.
I
I
have
several
questions
actually.
H
H
But
the
need
that
urgency
to
use
a
restroom
is
are
greater
than
that
that
scope
of
disease
and
wondered
why
you
just
focused
on
that
and
and
things
like
folks,
that
may
have
urge
incontinence.
H
Men
who
have
prostate
cancer,
who
have
surgery,
may
become
incontinent
and
feel
or
have
when
they
feel
they
have
to
use
a
restroom.
They
need
to
immediately
use
a
restroom
women
who,
on
bladder
medications,
those
of
us
who've,
had
children,
and
certainly
after
that,
your
bladder
control
may
not
be
as
good
and
when
you
feel
you've
got
to
go,
you
got
to
go
so
I'm
just
wondering.
Are
there
any
other
states
that
expand?
The
definition
was
the?
Is
there
only
one
state
that
has
passed
this
specifically
to
all
sort
of
colitis?
H
There's,
no
one
out
there
representing
those
with
bladder
issues
and
so
and
I'll
have
a
follow-up
afterwards,
madam
chair,
okay,.
D
So
thank
you
for
the
question.
Assemblywoman
titus
for
the
record
assemblywoman
michelle
gorlow
and
to
you
through
chairwin.
Those
are
excellent
questions.
Currently,
there
are
16
states
that
have
ali's
law
on
the
book
and
we
used
a
lot
of
their
verbage
in
our
verbage
as
well.
D
They
all
stuck
mostly
with
ulcerative
colitis.
However,
we
are
very
open
to
expanding
and
had
discussed
other
medical
conditions,
because
we
know
that
there
are
a
lot
more
people
with,
like
you
mentioned
cancer
bladder
and
constancy
that
they
could
also
fall
under
this,
and
so
we
are
open
to
expanding
to
other
conditions
as
well.
Thank.
H
You
another
question,
I'm
sure,
but
I
have
concerns
regarding
again.
Your
intent
is
good,
but
I
have
concerned
sometimes
the
unintended
consequences
of
bills
such
as
this,
and
that
is
the
the
the
poor
little
clerk
in
the
store
whose
boss
has
said
you
can't
let
people
in
here
use
our
restroom
and
then
that
clerk
now
it
says
retail
establishment.
This
is
on
section.
H
I
guess
it's
just
section
one
number
three
and
that
fine,
it's
a
retail
establishment
or
an
employee
who
does
not
let
somebody
use
this.
They
can
be
fine.
So
how
do
you
propose
to
educate
and
what
will
the
cost
be?
I
see
there's
no
fee
on
state
or
county
listed
here,
a
local
government
or
state,
but
how
do
you
propose
educating
nevada
businesses,
especially
the
small
businesses,
because
that's
who
this
is
going
to
affect
the
large
businesses,
the
shopping
malls
have
restrooms
there.
H
It's
that
little,
that
little
business,
that
little
mom
and
pop
shop
that
little
tire
store
that
little
dress
shop,
that
little
business
that
doesn't
allow
people
to
use
their
restroom.
How
are
you
going
to
educate
them
if
this
does
become
in
the
past?
How
will
you
go
about
educating
them?
Who
will
be
responsible
for
that?
Will
our
secretary
of
state
and
the
business
license
department
know
how
will
this
be
held
without
some
sort
of
cost.
D
Thank
you
for
the
questions
to
you
through
chairwin
and
for
the
record
assembly,
one
michelle
gorlow.
You
know
in
the
instance
that
you
mentioned
that
there's
one
employee
at
the
store
and
the
boss
has
said
nobody
can
use
the
restroom
absolutely
not
first
off
that
person
would
not
be.
D
D
However,
if
there
were
three
or
more
employees
they
would
have
to,
and
if
they
didn't,
then
it
would
be
up
to
the
consumer
to
make
a
complaint
about
the,
but
not
allowing
them
to
use
it.
As
for
the
education,
that
is
still
something
we
are
looking
into,
whether
it
would
be
something
like
the
business
license.
D
People
saying
hey
here
are
the
changes,
the
retail
association,
helping
us
with
that
education
as
well,
because
I
do
agree,
there
needs
to
be
an
education
component,
so
they
understand
who
can
use
the
bathroom
and
in
what
conditions.
As
well,.
H
Will
you
go
then
to
your
provider
and
have
to
have
some
sort
of
card?
Will
the
provider
have
to
provide
that
or
will
they
bring
in
card
from
say
the
colitis
foundation
or
whatever?
How?
How
will
that
process
work?
I
know
you
have
those
cards
already,
but
does
everybody
belong
to
that
foundation?
I
can
tell
you:
I
have
patients
who
don't
share
that
with
everybody
and
and
don't
necessarily
belong
to
that
foundation.
D
Thank
you
for
the
question
again
assignment
michelle
gorlow
for
the
record.
The
clyde's
foundation
does
have
those
cards
and
I
will
have
jennifer
campbell
speak
a
little
bit
more
about
the
process
and
how
you
can
get
them
there,
but
in
many
of
the
other
states,
even
just
a
quick
letter
from
a
doctor
stating
that
you
have
a
medical
condition,
has
been
sufficient
in
the
other
states.
D
H
So
so
we
already
have
that.
Thank
one
last
question:
if
I
might
madam
chair,
I'm
sorry
I'm
going
on
here,
but
I'd
like
to
kind
of
vet
this
out
as
much
as
possible,
so
we
already
have
health
laws.
We
already
have
safety
regulations,
especially
for
restaurants.
Does
this
then
change
that?
Does
it
preempt
existing
rules
and
regulations.
D
Before
the
record
assembly
would
michelle
gorlo,
I
will
need
to
talk
to
legal
about
that.
I
don't
anticipate
that
this
would
most
of
your
restaurants
do
have
bathrooms
already.
However,
we
are
working
with
the
retail
association
for
some
of
those
smaller
ones
that
might
just
be
more
of
a
takeout
type
of
location.
In
our
discussions
we
kept
thinking
of
pizza
places,
there's
several
pizza
places
that
are
small,
mostly
take
out
locations,
and
so
we
are
working
with
them
on
I'm,
possibly
carving
out
some
exemptions
for
some
of
those
smaller
ones.
D
In
some
of
the
other
states
they
exempted
restaurants
based
on
size.
I
personally
have
no
concept
of
what
square
footage
looks
like,
so
I
don't
think
that's
the
route
we
will
go,
but
we
are
working
with
them,
and
so
we
can
come
to
a
compromise.
B
D
H
You
thank
you
for
their
answers
and
thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
allowing
me
all
those
questions.
A
No,
and
I
believe
you
actually
asked
several
questions
that
came
from
some
of
our
other
members,
including
assemblywoman,
peters
and
some
others,
so
I'm
glad
that
you
were
able
to
ask
them
where
we're
going
to
get
those
on
the
record.
Do
I
have
any
other
questions
from
members
before
I
take
testimony
and
support
opposition
and
neutral?
G
It's
not
really
a
question.
I
just
want
the
the
co-presenters
to
know
that.
I'm
grateful
that
you
shared
your
story
and
are
normalizing
some
of
these
conversations.
I
know
that
when
I
was
pregnant,
I
had
a
couple
very
embarrassing
like
morning,
sickness
all
day,
long
scenarios
where
I
had
to
go
home
and
change.
G
I
had
to
just
bail
on
my
business
meeting
or
my
you
know,
client
dinner
or
my
like
day
job
to
go
and
take
care
of
myself,
because
I
I
yeah,
I
things
just
change
and
not
everybody
has
the
ability
to
make
it
to
a
restroom
every
time
something
comes
on,
so
I
I
applaud
you
for
sharing
your
story
and
normalizing
the
difference
in
our
bodies
and
thank
you
for
for
bringing
the
bill
and
being
so
thoughtful
about
sharing
that
stuff.
A
Seeing
none,
I
will
go
to
broadcast
services
to
get
ready
to
hear
testimony
and
support
opposition
and
neutral
of
assembly
bill.
283
again,
I
will
remind
callers
to
clearly
clearly
state
your
name
and
spell
your
name
for
the
record
and
limit
your
testimony
to
two
minutes.
Staff
will
be
timing,
each
speaker
to
ensure
everyone
is
given
a
fair
opportunity
to
speak.
Excuse
me
and
we
will
begin
testimony
in
support
of
assembly
bill
283.
J
A
Thank
you
and
do
we
have
any
callers
in
opposition
to
the
bill
and
if
we
could
do,
can
we
start
with
them.
J
M
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
committee,
members,
this
is
leonard
stone,
I'm
a
lawyer
in
southern
nevada,
I'm
here
today
on
behalf
of
the
nevada
justice
association.
Thank
you
so
much
for
giving
me
a
moment
to
speak
about
this
bill.
First
of
all,
I
have
to
tell
you,
I'm
initially,
certainly
uncomfortable
even
being
in
the
category
of
opposition,
because
in
in
in
most
ways
we
are
very,
very
supportive
and
applaud
the
compassionate
efforts
of
this
bill
to
protect
a
vulnerable
population
suffering
from
these
life-altering
medical
conditions.
M
I
think
we
heard
some
excellent
comments
today
about
the
probable
need
to
broaden
the
definitions
of
those
medical
conditions.
I
appreciated,
for
example,
a
moment
ago
the
discussion
for
how
pregnancy
can
can
lead
to
these
senses
of
urgency,
so
that
would
be
one
thing
to
consider.
Generally
speaking,
however,
we
have
no
opposition
to
section
one,
because
we
think
this
is
a
generally
good
bill
with
with
a
very
very
good
meeting,
but
we
strongly
strongly
oppose
section
two
which
provides
immunity
to
businesses
unless
they
are
willfully
or
grossly
negligent.
M
B
M
M
The
law
is
quite
clear
regarding
allowed
a
landowner
or
lessee's
obligations
relative
to
the
safety
of
land,
don't
be
negligent,
be
reasonable,
provide
reasonably
safe
space
basic
negligence,
in
other
words,
reasonable
conduct,
does
not
necessitate
willful
or
grossly
negligent
conduct.
In
order
to
be
held
accountable.
M
M
They
should
be
equally,
if
not
more
concerned
about
these
vulnerable
individuals
simply
put
by
racing
by
raising
the
standard
to
willful
and
grossly
negligent
conduct.
We
are
not
adequately
incentivizing
these
businesses
to
keep
people
safe.
So,
on
the
one
hand,
a
great
bill.
We
should
be
protecting
people,
on
the
other
hand,
in
exchange,
for
that,
for
this
thing,
this
this
obligation
that
we
should
have,
which
is
compassion
and
empathy
it
shouldn't
be
in
exchange
for
changing
the
standard
of
care
and
allowing
spaces
to
be
less
safe.
J
N
B-R-Y-A-N-W-A-C-H-T-E-R
with
the
retail
association
of
nevada,
I
do
want
to
appreciate
silverwoman
garlow
for
bringing
the
bill
forward
and
for
working
with
us.
We
are
in
opposition
to
the
bill
as
it
is
currently
written,
but
we
do
have
hope
that
we
will
be
able
to
get
to
a
place
where
that
won't
be
true
any
longer.
N
We
do
want
to
say
that
we
are
ready
and
able
to
provide
some
notification
to
retailers
in
the
state,
but
we
might
consider
allowing
the
first
instance
to
be
a
warning
just
so
that
business
has
adequate
notice
going
forward,
and
we,
of
course,
would
oppose
any
changes
to
section
two
and
with
that
we
appreciate
your
time
and
we
look
forward
to
working
together
with
the
assembly
woman
on
some
compromise.

Afternoon,
chairwind
and
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record
paul
moratkin
m-o-r-a-d-k-h-a-n
with
the
vegas
chamber
first,
I
would
like
to
thank
the
bill's
sponsor
for
meeting
with
the
chamber
about
the
bill.
Those
conversations
I
do
believe
were
productive.
We
do
understand
the
policy
need
at
hand
and
sympathetic
to
the
issue.
Our
concerns
with
the
bill
are
some
technical
components,
as
we
have
shared
with
the
bill
sponsor.
N
For
example,
it's
about
the
broadness
of
the
retail
definitions,
definition
as
it
relates
to
our
members
because
of
some
security
and
public
health
care
concerns
for
certain
industry
sectors
within
the
ads
business
community.
As
we
shared
with
the
bill
sponsor,
we
do
believe
there
needs
to
be
exemption
for
certain
groups,
such
as
banks,
credit
unions,
financial
institutions,
and
they
would
not
be
including
the
retail
definition
because
of
security
concerns.
N
Sponsors
willing
this
first
to
help
develop
a
solution
to
address
those
two
sectors.
We
would
have
a
concern
about
changes
to
section
two.
We
believe
if
we
are
mandated
to
open
the
back
of
the
house
facility
restrooms
that
that
we
should
not
lose
protection
for
that
for
the
puppet
to
come
through
those
areas
we
do.
We
would.
We
will,
of
course,
continue
to
work
with
the
bill's
sponsor
and
is
our
hope
to
quickly
find
a
resolution
to
this
bill
again
sympathetic
to
the
policy
issue
at
hand.
A
Thank
you
for
your
testimony.
If
we
can
go
to
our
next
caller
and
opposition.

J
P
Great
good
afternoon,
chair
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
alexandria,
gazlich
d-a-z-l-I-c-h
and
I'm
the
director
of
government
affairs
for
the
nevada
restaurant
association.
We
are
here
today
in
opposition
to
av-283
as
it's
currently
written.
A
critical
component
of
the
restaurant
industry
is
strong
food
safety
practices.
P
P
J
To
testify
in
neutral
on
assembly
bill
oops,
I
lost
him.
Sorry
283,
please
press
star
9
now
to
take
your
place
in
the
queue.
A
D
Thank
you
chairwin
again,
ab283
is
about
dignity
and
making
sure
that
people
are
able
to
use
the
restroom
when
they
have
certain
medical
conditions.
D
I
do
want
to
take
a
moment
and
thank
mr
cmo
and
ms
campbell
for
joining
us
today
and
sharing
stories,
and
I
want
to
thank
everyone
who
called
in
opposition
and
we
have
reached
out
to
them
and
we're
going
to
continue
working,
and
hopefully
we
can
come
to
a
mutual
agreement
on
some
of
the
language
with
this
bill
and
reach.
What
our
intent
is
is
to
allow
people
the
dignity
of
going
to
the
bathroom.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
your
time
today.
D
A
You
assemblywoman
gorlo,
and
I
would
also
let
our
committee
members
know
that
there
are
at
least
four
people
that
have
submitted
written
letters
in
support
of
assembly
bill
283.
A
So
I
encourage
you
to
check
on
nellis
for
those
letters
of
support
and
again
I
would
remind
any
members
of
the
public
that
if
you
do
want
to
comment
on
either
one
of
the
bills
that
were
presented
today,
you
do
have
within
48
hours
to
submit
written
support
or
letters
or
documentation
on
those
bills,
and
I
would
encourage
you
to
do
so
and
with
that
this
time
I
would
close
the
hearing
on
assembly
bill
283,
and
I
would
begin
public
comment
as
a
reminder
to
anyone
providing
public
comment.

O
O
Good
morning,
chairman
and
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
jerry:
north
I'm,
a
resident
of
assembly,
district
12.,
I've
been
retired
from
ccsd
since
2008
as
a
full-time
teacher
and
have
been
a
guest
teacher
from
2010
to
2020.,
I'm
a
member
of
the
nevada
state,
education,
association,
retired
and
the
clark
retired
education
association
as
a
retiree
on
a
fixed
income.
O
I
know
how
rising
health
care
costs
are
a
continuous
worry
for
many
americans,
many
nevada,
educators
and
other
state
workers
who
are
eligible
to
retire
continue
to
work
because
they
have
no
access
to
medicare
having
never
paid
into
social
security,
as
you
can
imagine,
having
no
insurance
increases
their
anxiety
and
contributes
to
depression,
many
retired
educators.
I've
spoken
with
use,
smaller
doses
of
maintenance,
meds
with
or
without
doctor
input
to
make
ends
meet.
They
also
put
off
procedures
and
surgery.
O
O
A
A
Don't
see
any
so
at
this
time
I
will
remind
everyone.
Our
next
meeting
will
be
on
monday
march
22nd
at
1,
30
and
the
meeting
is
adjourned
have
a
good
weekend.
