A
I'm

is
present,
please
indicate
so
welcome
to
our
audience
joining
us
here,
either
in
person
online
or
by
phone
today.
Today
we
just
have
a
work
session
on
at
this
time
and
just
a
couple
several
housekeeping.
I
know
you're
all
used
to
hearing
this
over
and
over
and
over
again,
but
for
all
individuals
that
are
present
in
our
meeting
room.
Please
always
keep
your
face
covering
on
and
maintain
social
distancing.
Additionally,
members
of
the
public
may
still
provide
testimony
in
various
ways
all
which
are
listed
on
the
agenda.
A
In
addition
to
providing
public
comment,
you
can
do
so
in
writing
in
addition
to
or
in
lieu
of
any
oral

that
you

and
we
are
accepting
that
public

48
hours
after
the
conclusion
of
the
meeting
adjournment.
Finally,
please
mute
and
silence
all
your
cell
phones
and
laptops.
I
know
we
love
the
music
of
the
banging
from
our
chats,
but
if
we
could
mute
that,
that
would
be
great,
and
next
I
will
just
move
to
the
work
session
and
let's
get
going,
let's
begin
with
senate
bill
61.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
the
record
patrick
ashton,
comedy
policy
analyst
of
the
legislative
council
bureau
just
my
usual
reminder
as
non-partisan
staff.
I
can
neither
advocate
nor
oppose
any
measures
that
you
will
consider
today
senate
bill
61.
We
heard
this
bill
on
may
3rd.
It
makes
various
changes
to
the
program
for
the
operation
of
vending
facilities
by
licensees
who
are
blind.
D
It
provides
for
the
election
of
the
nevada
committee
of
vendors,
who
are
blind
and
authorizes
the
borough
to
enter
a
contract,
to
establish
a
vending
facility
on
private
property
through
which
the
licensee
may
pay
an
incentive
to
the
property
owner
for
certain
locations.
There
were
no
amendments,
madam
chair.
A
Thank
you,
members
of
the
committee.
Are
there
any
questions?
I
think
I
see
senator
ratty
over
there
if
we
have
any
additional
questions,
but
do
we
have
any
questions
from
committee
members
seeing
none
I'd
entertain
a
motion
at
this
time
to
move
senate
bill
61.
A
I
I
see
a
motion
from
assemblywoman
thomas
and
a
second
from
I
think
that
was
assemblywoman
benitez
thompson.
Do
we
have
any
comments
on
the
motion
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
hi,
all
those
opposed,
say,
nay,
and
if
you
could
raise
your
hand,
so
I
can
put
the
nays
here.
It
looks
like
we
have
assemblyman
matthews
assemblywoman
black
assembly,
woman,
titus,
assemblyman
haven
and
assemblywoman
krasner.
The
motion
does
pass
and
I
will
assign
that
floor
statement
to
assemblywoman
thomas
next.
We
can
move
to
a
work
session
on
senate
bill
275.
Mr
ashton,.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
the
record
patrick
ashton,
comedy
policy
analyst.
We
heard
senate
bill
275
on
may
3rd.
It
makes
various
changes
related
to
communicable
diseases.
The
main
provisions
are
summarized
in
the
bullet
points
on
the
bill
page
and
for
the
sake
of
time
I
will
go
straight
to
the
amendments.
D
Amendment
3
revises
provisions
of
the
ability
to
prohibit
a
person
from
making
public
the
name
of
or
other
personally
identifying
information
about
a
person
exposed
to
a
communicable
disease
who
has
been
investigated
by
the
health
authority
with
the
consent
of
the
person
members.
There
was
a
request
to
withdraw
the
next
amendment,
which
was
proposed
on
may
11th.
In
other
words,
the
amendments
to
section
6
are
not
up
for
consideration.
A
A
Any
questions
from
committee
members
seeing
none
I'd,
entertain
a
motion
at
this
time.
I
have
a
motion
from
assemblywoman
peters.
Do
I
have
a
second?
E
Thank
you,
chairwin
hiv
is
the
only
communicable
or
sexually
transmitted
disease
that
you
must
take
the
medication
every
day
of
every
week
of
every
month
for
the
rest
of
your
life,
and
now
that
we
do
have
treatment
for
hiv,
it's
no
longer
a
death
sentence.
However,
it
is
a
life
sentence
without
parole.
E
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
support
the
concept
of
the
bill
and
actually
I
was
going
to
vote
in
favor
of
this
bill.
However,
with
the
amendment,
I
will
now
be
a
no
on
this
bill.
Thank
you.
A
I
think
we
can
clarify
you.
Do
you
know
that
the
amendment
was
withdrawn.
A
F
Right,
thank
you,
madam
chair
matt,
walker
on
behalf
of
solar
state
equality,
the
speaking
with
senator
harris
today.
She
requested
that
the
committee
consider
moving
the
bill
with
the
initial
amendment
presented.
That's
on
nellis,
reflected
as
the
amendment
submitted
by
alyssa
navworth,
also
the
health
districts
amendment
that
was
presented
at
the
hearing.
That
would
be
her
request
to
you
and
we
we
are
ready
for
any
questions.
If
there's
any
from
the
committee.
A
C
Okay,
thank
you
for
that
clarification.
I
guess
the
the
concern
that
I
had
with
that
now
that
I'm
looking
at
the
one
that's
here
and
so
I'll
still
be
a
no,
it's
the
it's
the
concept
and
I'm
sorry
if
I
didn't
make
this
clear
at
the
time
of
the
hearing
that
we're
going
to
quarantine
people
that
are
exposed
as
opposed
to
infectious
or
those
kind
of
things,
I'm
just
I'm
just
concerned,
there's
a
bit
of
an
overreach
on
that
particular
aspect
of
it,
and
so
that
would
I'm
going
to
be
no.
G
Thank
about
I'm
sure
I
I
too
am
slightly
confused
with
the
amendments
as
being
withdrawn.
I
will
be
a
yes
at
a
committee
today,
but
I
would
like
to
reserve
my
right
on
the
floor.
A
H
F
F
In
subsection
four-
and
I
apologize-
I
don't
have
the
sub
section
number
in
front
of
me,
but
in
subsection
four,
there
was
a
significant
clarity
given
on
what
elements
should
constitute
a
cro,
the
crime
of
transmitting
or
other
behavior
that
may
tran
is
likely
to
transmit
a
communicable
disease.
F
There
was
some
desire
by
proponents
to
see
health
districts
not
have
the
ability
to
levy
a
misdemeanor
offense
if
there's
a
violation
of
a
health
order
and
those
elements
of
subsection
four
not
met.
F
The
health
districts
obviously
felt
it
was
very
important
for
them
to
have
some
enforcement
power
and
there
be
a
misdemeanor
associated
with
violating
a
health
order
period
and
after
a
lot
of
great
discussion
with
your
committee
staff
and
lcb,
mr
ashton
and
others,
there
is
simply
no
way
to
meet
in
the
middle
on
that
language,
and
so
we
were
as
a
default.
F
The
senator
wished
to
leave
the
the
statute
as
is,
and
leaving
both
the
misdemeanor
as
defined
in
subsection
four
and
the
misdemeanor
associated
with
violating
a
health
order
and
and
our
client
silver
state
equality
is
in
full
support
of
withdrawing
that
amendment.
A
D
For
the
record,
patrick
ashton,
members,
when
you
go
on
nellis,
you
can
find
the
updated
work
session
document
for
sp275
and
if
you
still
look
at
the
combined
work
session
document
that
was
provided
to
you
yesterday,
we
only
will
consider
amendment
one
two
and
three
on
the
bill
page
and
also
the
attached
amendment
that
was
presented
by
senator
harris
during
the
bill.
Hearing
the
other
amendment,
as
stated
multiple
times
was
withdrawn.
A
Thank
you.
Do
we
have
any
other
comments
from
members
at
this
time,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
say
aye,
all
those
opposed,
say,
nay,
and
if
you
could
raise
your
hand,
so
I
can
do
that.
I
see
assemblyman
matthews
assemblywoman
black
assemblywoman
titus
and
assemblywoman
krasner.
The
motion
does
pass
and
I
will
assign
that
floor
statement
to
assemblywoman
peters.
A
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
the
record
patrick
ashman,
comedy
policy.
Analyst
we
heard
senate
bill
391
on
may
5th.
The
bill
provides
that
the
state
dental
health
officer
is
not
required
to
be
licensed
to
practice
dentistry
in
the
state
if
certain
other
criteria
are
met.
The
bill
removes
a
prohibition
on
the
state
public
health,
dental
hygienist,
pursuing
an
outside
business
or
vocation
instead
authorizing
such
activity
with
the
approva
with
the
approval
of
dpbhdhhs.
D
In
addition,
the
bill
authorizes
the
board
of
dental
examiners
to
issue
a
limited
license
as
a
dentist
or
dental
hygienist
to
the
state,
dental
health
officer
or
the
state
public
health.
Dental
hygienist,
sp
391
also
authorizes
their
division
to
issue
a
permit
as
a
dental
responder
to
a
dentist,
dental
hygienist
or
dental
therapist,
who
has
received
certain
training
in
emergency
response.
D
Dental
responders
may
provide
emergency
medical
care,
immunizations,
medical
care
in
mobile
clinics
and
humanitarian
care
during
a
state
of
emergency
delay,
declaration
of
disaster,
public
health,
emergency
or
other
health
event.
The
bulk
creates
a
committee
on
dental
emergency
management
within
the
division
and
it
prescribes
duties
of
the
committee.
Finally,
sp
391
outlines
requirements
related
to
providing
services
through
teledentistry
and
requires
hospitals
and
medicaid
managed
care
plans
or
hmo
hmos
to
take
certain
measures
to
improve
access
to
oral
health
care
through
teledentistry.
There
were
no
amendments,
madam
chair.
A
A
A
G
A
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
the
record
patrick
ashton
committee
policy.
Analyst
we
heard
senate
bill
379
on
may
5th.
It
requires
the
director
of
the
department
of
health
and
human
services
to
establish
and
maintain
a
database
of
certain
demographic
and
practice
information
about
healthcare
providers.
D
In
addition,
the
director
must
establish
the
healthcare
workforce
working
group
to
analyze
information
in
the
database
and
make
recommendations
concerning
how
to
attract
healthcare
providers
to
nevada.
Finally,
certain
data
from
the
database
must
be
must
be
published
annually.
There
were
no
amendments,
madam
chair.
A
A
I
have
a
motion
from
assemblywoman
peters
and
a
second
from
I
think,
assemblywoman
summers
armstrong.
Do
we
have
any
comments
on
the
motion
at
this
time?
Go
ahead,
assemblywomantitis.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I'm
actually
going
to
support
this
this
measure
at
first.
I
was
not
supportive
of
it,
but
I
think
with
the
testimony
that
is,
it's
definitely
voluntary
and
it
can
be
used
to
help
with
certain
designations
and
much
needed
healthcare
shortage
areas
and
anticipate
future
needs.
I
think
it's
all
important
to
do,
especially
the
fact
that
it's
a
voluntary
questionnaire
thank.
A
I
Yes,
I'm
really
excited
about
this.
I'm
excited
to
see
that
the
data
that
gets
collected
as
well-
I
was
just
thinking-
maybe
down
the
line-
maybe
maybe
maybe
the
boards-
and
this
is
more
for
the
boards-
maybe
they
might
want
to
consider
giving
up
like
one
ceu
for
those
who
who
complete
the
questionnaire
in
order
to
encourage
it,
because
I
I
know
we
want
to
encourage
a
good
response
rate,
so
I
think
that's
fair,
just
throwing
it
out
there
for
future
legislators
to
deliberate.
A
I'm
not
going
to
lie.
I
really
enjoy
the
fact
that
I
get
to
waive
my
cle
requirements
why
the
legislative
body
is
in,
although
I
feel
like,
I
should
get
actual
credit
for
it,
we're
in
here
learning
law
all
day
long.
So
do
we
have
any
other
comments
on
the
motion,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye,
all
those
opposed,
say,
nay,
so
we
have
nays
from
assemblyman,
matthews
and
assemblywoman
black.
The
motion
does
carry
and
I
will
assign
that
floor
statement
to
assemblywoman
benitez
thompson.
D
D
It
authorizes
a
person
grief
by
failure
to
comply
with
these
requirements,
to
institute
a
civil
action
for
injunctive
or
other
appropriate
relief,
and
requires
a
court
to
give
priority
to
such
an
action,
and
it
prohibits
all
health
insurers
from
denying
limiting
or
seeking
reimbursement
from
an
insured
for
care
related
to
an
organ
transplant,
because
the
insured
is
a
person
with
a
disability.
Among
other
things,
there
were
no
amendments.
Madam
chair.
A
I
have
a
motion
from
assemblywoman
peters
and
a
second
from
assemblywoman
titus.
Do
we
have
any
comments
on
the
motion
looking
around
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye,
all
those
opposed,
say,
nay.
The
motion
passes
and
I
will
assign
that
floor
statement
to
assemblyman
matthews
at
this
time.
That
concludes
our
work
session,
part
of
the
agenda,
and
I
will
move
to
public
comment
again.
As
we
begin
public
comment,
a
reminder
to
those
providing
public
comment,
either
in
person
or
on
the
phone.
A
Please
clearly
state
your
record
name
for
the
record
and
spell
it
and
limit
your
comments
to
two
minutes.
I'm
looking
around
the
room
and
seeing
no
public
comment
in
the
room
broadcast
services.
If
we
can
go
to
the
lines.
H
H
H
My
name
is
ali
and
I'm
reading
this
letter
on
behalf
of
dr
naheed
mohammadi,
who
is
a
member
of
the
las
vegas
dental
association
and
a
dentist
who
treats
lots
of
medicaid
children,
section
1
of
sb
391
is
associated
with
the
financial
and
ethical
ethical
scandal.
Why
is
ms
rowdy's
recent
amendment
to
section
1
only
financially
benefiting
ms
capuro,
who
is

that
is

hearing.
A

They

I

written.
A
If

reading
it
on
behalf
of
someone,
I
think
they
can
submit
those
written
comments
as
a
part
of
public
comment.
H
A
Thank
you
so
at
this
time
I
will
close
public
comment.
Are
there
any
other

Seeing

That
concludes
our

for
today.
I
will
