A
Here
please
mark
assemblywoman,
bilbray,
axelrod
absent
excused
and
when
she
arrives,
please
mark
her
as
president
she's
presenting
a
bill
in
another
committee.
It
is
that
time
of
session
everyone
else
is
present.
That
means
we
do
have
a
quorum
this
morning,
good
morning
to
committee
members,
so
those
joining
us
in
carson
city
good
morning
to
several
guests.
We
have
on
the
zoom
today
and
to
those
who
may
be
watching
over
the
internet
or
the
legislature's
youtube
channel.
A
We
have
arrived
at
day
94
of
the
81st
session
of
the
nevada
legislature,
which
means
we
are
definitely
in
the
home
stretch
before
we
get
started
on
today's
agenda.
Just
a
few
housekeeping
matters
for
those
in
the
room
with
us.
If
you
could,
please
silence
your
devices
that
would
be
helpful
and
for
those
on
the
zoom
as
well.
If
you
could
mute
yourself
when
you're,
not
speaking,
that
would
be
helpful
for
everyone
who's
going
to
provide
testimony
today.
If
you
could,
please
state
your
name
before
you
speak
that
helps
our
committee.
A
Secretaries
prepare
accurate
minutes
and
then,
particularly
if
you're
asked
a
question
and
you're
responding
to
the
question.
If
you
could,
please
remember
to
state
your
name,
we
do
expect
courtesy
and
respect
and
our
interactions
with
one
another.
We
don't
always
agree
on
policy,
that's
perfectly
acceptable,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
being
respectful
of
one
another
of
the
legislative
process
and,
most
importantly,
of
our
very
hard
working
staff
and
then
finally,
many
members
up
here
are
using
multiple
devices
to
access
this
morning's
meeting.
A
So
please
don't
see
the
sign
of
disrespect
or
in
attention
if
members
appear
to
be
looking
away
at
times
during
the
meeting
with
those
matters
behind
us
we're
going
to
move
on
to
our
agenda
members.
As
you
can
see,
we
have
two
bills
on
the
agenda.
We
are
going
to
take
those
bills
in
order.
So
at
this
time
I
will
open
the
hearing
on
senate
bill
49
in
its
first
reprint,
that
bill
revises
provisions
relating
to
cannabis,
and
we
have
executive
director
klimus
here
and
a
couple
of
members
of
his
team
as
well.
A
C
Great
thank
you
chair
members
of
the
committee.
My
name
is
tyler
klimas,
I'm
the
executive
director
of
the
nevada
cannabis
compliance
board.
I
will
be
introducing
sb49
to
you
today.
This
bill
is
very
much
a
housekeeping
and
cleanup
bill
for
the
cannabis
compliance
board
and
includes
a
number
of
small
changes.
We
do
have
a
proposed
amendment
to
sb49
that
I
will
plan
to
go
over
once
we
finish
with
the
bill
as
is
currently
drafted.
C
I
will
now
briefly
explain
the
provisions
included
in
the
bill
and
we'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
once
I'm
finished,
and
I
also
have
members
of
my
staff
here
to
to
help
answer
any
questions
as
well.
So
with
that
section
one
of
this
bill,
this
allows
the
board
to
employ
services
of
such
persons.
C
It
considers
necessary
to
carry
out
disciplinary
hearings.
This
is
meant
to
ensure
the
part-time
board
can
continue
to
utilize.
An
administrative
law
judge
for
hearings.
This
aligns
with
the
ccb
approved
budget
that
provides
for
a
full-time
administrative
law
judge
to
hear
ccb
matters.
Section
1.3
of
this
bill
simplifies
the
process
for
serving
complaints.
C
C
Also
included
in
this
section
is
a
provision
that
allows
for
additional
flexibility
to
extend
a
45-day
requirement
for
the
ccb
to
hold
a
hearing
after
a
licensee
answers.
A
complaint
section
1.7
recognizes
that
depositions
are
already
allowed
through
approval
of
the
hearing
officer
and
aligns
this
portion
of
the
ccb
disciplinary
hearing
process
with
provisions
of
the
nevada
administrative
procedures
act.
C
This
is
needed
just
to
account
for
and
align
the
verbiage
with
the
new
definition
of
cannabis
products
that
is
included
now
in
nrs678
a
so
with
that
those
are
all
the
the
minor
changes
that
we
have
here.
I
am
happy
to
answer
any
questions
from
you,
chair
or
the
members
of
the
committee
before
we
move
on
to
the
amendment.
A
B
C
Thank
you
similar
to
this
tyler
klimas
for
the
record.
Essentially
they're,
they're
they're.
You
know
the
cannabis
compliance
board's,
a
brand
new
agency,
so
ab533
created
it
and
basically
there
are
some
things
like
clarifying
language
that
should
have
been
in
there
that
didn't
get
in
there,
so
just
kind
of
clean
up
as
we're
going
through
our
first
year.
This
is
our
first
legislative
session,
so
our
first
crack
at
coming
back
and
making
some
of
the
tweaks
that
probably
should
have
been
made
or
were
intended
to
be
made.
B
Thank
you,
phillip,
so
you
so
you're
not
seeing
really
any
problems
right
now.
You're
just
looking
toward
the
future
is
what
I'm
getting
out
of
this.
A
Thank
you,
director,
climax
and
for
members
new
members
of
the
committee.
We
did
pass
assembly
bill
533
as
director
klimas
mentioned,
and
that
was
a
very
large
bill.
I
want
to
say
it
was
something
like
194
sections,
and
I
recall
that
we
got
that
bill
very
late
in
the
legislative
session.
Maybe
it
was
in
may
mid-may,
so
I
think
we
did
the
best
we
could
with
it,
but
certainly
makes
sense
now
that
the
cannabis
compliance
board
is
up
and
running
that
they
would
have
some
suggestions
for
language.
A
Of
course,
they
were
not
up
and
running
when
we
did
the
statute
to
create
them,
because
no
one
had
been
appointed
to
the
board.
Quite
then.
So,
if
you
are
interested
members,
you
can
go
back
and
take
a
look
at
that
hearing,
but
you
probably
have
other
things
to
do
rather
than
read
197
section
bill
at
this
point
of
sessions.
We
have
some
additional
questions.
We'll
go
next
to
assembly,
woman,
cohen.
D
Thank
you
chair.
I
have
a
question
about.
B
C
Thank
you
for
that
question.
Assemblywoman
tyler
klimas,
for
the
record
and-
and
there
are
those
chain
so
there's
a
number
of
changes
for
packaging
and
labeling.
We
understand
that
some,
you
know
licensees
even
purchased
a
large
quantity
of
packaging
before
covid
and
and
and
have
a
lot
of
that
quantity
on
hand,
and
so
we've
made
a
commitment
on
record
at
our
board
meetings
that
that
we
are
going
to
work
through
a
date.
It
can't
be
forever
right.
B
Can
do
service
that's
kind
of
extraordinary,
so
if
you
could,
please
clarify
that.
C
Absolutely
thank
you
assemblywoman
for
the
question
tyler
clements
for
the
record,
so
the
way
that
the
bill
was
written.
The
board
serves
the
complaint.
However,
the
board,
you
know
the
complaint
is
investigated
by
ccb
and
the
attorney
general.
They
recommend
that
a
complaint
be
served
to
the
board,
so
the
board
for
due
process
can't
see
the
complaint
before
they
vote
to
serve
it,
and
so
at
our
meetings.
C
If
there's
a
complaint
to
be
issued,
they
just
vote
blindly
on
serving
the
complaint
and
some
of
our
board
members,
including
our
chair
former
supreme
court
chief
justice,
michael
douglas.
They
they've
put
on
the
record
that
they
wanted
this
change,
because
it's
procedural
and
it's
it
doesn't
really
make
a
whole
lot
of
sense
to
for
them
to
just
vote
on
something
that
they
don't
see
anyway,
and
so
this
would
allow
for
ccb
and
myself
as
executive
director
just
to
make
that
issuance
of
the
complaint,
which
essentially
happens
anyway.
C
C
D
D
C
Thank
you
simply
one
for
the
question.
Tyler
clements
for
the
record
so
like
similar
with
other
agencies
and
our
budget
was
approved
to
have
an
administrative
law
judge
to
it's
a
part-time
board,
and
so
they
need
to
utilize
the
services
of
an
administrative
law
judge
to
be
able
to
to
hear
these
cases.
The
board
is
the
final
arbiter.
So
the
alj
will
hear
that
case,
but
then
that
case
comes
back
in
front
of
the
board
as
a
recommendation.
D
Just
quick
follow,
so
it
just
seems
weird
that
if,
if,
if
the
cannabis
board
is
employing
the
hearing
officer
to
hear
the
disciplinary
proceedings
against
the
cannabis
board,
if
the
hearing
officer
doesn't
give
a
ruling
that
the
cannabis
board
likes,
then
does
the
cannabis
board
get
to
fire?
That
hearing
officer.
C
Thank
you
for
the
question,
tyler
climbers
for
the
record,
I
mean
the
administrative
law
judge.
This
is
similar
to
other
state
agencies
and
how
it's
it's.
It's
set
up.
We
currently
utilize
the
department
of
taxation's
administrative
law
judge
because
we
don't
have
one
currently,
and
so
I
I
certainly
understand
what
you're
saying,
but
this
seems
to
be
consistent
with
other
state
agencies
and
how
they
employ
their
administrative
law.
Judges
thank.
D
A
A
C
C
These
substances
are
being
extracted
and
manufactured
by
utilizing
a
loophole
in
the
federal
regulations
that
our
amendment
will
seek.
To
close,
we
worked
closely
with
the
nevada
department
of
agriculture
and
the
nevada
board
of
pharmacy
on
this
language,
and
representatives
from
both
agencies
are
here
to
help
answer.
Any
questions
this
committee
may
have
nevada
would
join
a
number
of
other
states
who
are
working
right
now,
swiftly
to
address
and
close
this
loophole
regarding
the
synthetic
manufacturing
of
delta,
8
and
other
isomers
that
you'll
hear
about.
A
E
Thank
you
chair
and
members
of
the
committee.
My
name
is
kara
cronkite,
I'm
the
health
program
manager
of
the
cannabis
compliance
board,
hemp
and
cannabis
are
two
regulated
industries
that
provide
many
jobs
and
tax
revenue
for
the
state
of
nevada.
However,
some
producers,
mostly
from
out
of
state,
have
developed
a
process
to
synthetically,
produce
intoxicating
substances
from
hemp
which
are
readily
available
to
minors,
the
most
popular
substance
being
delta,
8
thc.
However,
there
are
several
other
isomers
of
thc
being
developed
that
have
similar
intoxicating
effects.
E
E
These
synthetic
cannabinoids
are
produced
by
combining
cbd
with
an
acidic
catalyst
and
then
heated,
resulting
in
typically
about
70
percent
delta,
8
thc
and
approximately
30
percent
unknown
reaction.
Byproducts,
unknown
compounds
represent
unknown
health
consequences
to
consumers
according
to
the
dea.
This
is
an
illicit
substance,
but
since
they
do
not
define
synthetic
cannabinoid,
there
is
a
legal
argument
for
some
hemp
producers
to
continue
producing
these
items.
E
Lack
of
federal
clarity
on
the
legality
of
thc
isomers
is
where
this
stems
from
and
we're
working
with
several
other
states
to
try
to
close
these
loopholes
nationwide.
This
new
process
has
created
a
competitive
disadvantage
to
our
licensed
cannabis
producers.
A
synthetic
delta
8
thc
derived
from
hemp
is
much
cheaper
to
produce.
It
is
not
held
to
the
same
strict
testing
requirements
as
cannabis
and
it's
available
to
minors
to
purchase
the
ease
of
access
to
intoxicating
substances
to
our
youth
is
concerning.
E
Adding
this
to
state
law
makes
it
very
clear
that
synthetic
cannabinoids
are
not
allowed
in
nevada.
We
have
found
that
operators
are
not
reviewing
the
list
of
controlled
substances,
because
state
law
allows
for
hemp
and
federal
law
does
not
specifically
prohibit
synthetic
cannabinoids
such
as
delta
8
thc.
E
The
minor
proposed
revision
to
the
definition
of
hemp
in
nrs
557.160
gives
the
department
of
agriculture
more
flexibility
to
comply
with
federal
limits,
while
still
adhering
to
nevada's
definition
of
thc,
which
includes
all
isomers
of
thc
and
not
just
delta
9..
This
would
close
the
loophole
that
the
fda
unintentionally
left
open
when
limiting
the
allowable
concentration
of
thc
to
only
delta
9
and
allows
our
state
to
clearly
be
in
line
with
the
dea's
opinion
that
synthetically
derived
cannabinoids
such
as
delta
8,
are
illegal.
E
E
E
E
E
We
must
be
reminded
of
the
e-cigarette
and
vaping
lung
injury
outbreak,
which
peaked
in
2019,
resulted
in
nearly
3
000
hospitalizations
and
68
deaths
nationwide.
These
stemmed
mostly
from
unregulated
products
from
illicit
or
informal
sources.
Vitamin
e
acetate
was
one
cause
of
this
outbreak
and
recall
these
products
was
an
issue
due
to
lack
of
oversight
and
labeling
of
the
involved
products.
E
This
language,
if
approved,
will
reduce
the
number
of
operators
that
think
they
are
being
compliant
and
get
these
intoxicating
substances
off
the
shelves.
The
ccb
worked
in
coordination
with
the
department
of
agriculture
and
the
board
of
pharmacy
on
the
proposed
revisions
and
both
are
available
today
via
zoom.
To
answer
any
additional
questions
you
may
have.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
miss
cronkite.
I
just
had
a
question.
I
know
you
mentioned
that
other
states
are
considering
or
have
considered
similar
legislation
with
respect
to
delta
h
delta
8
thc.
Do
you
happen
to
know
what
other
states
have
have
passed
laws
or
are
considering
doing
so?
I
know
some
states
are
not
in
session
right
now,
but
if
you
able
to
give
us
a
high
level
of
perhaps
some
of
our
neighboring
states,
I
think
that
would
be
helpful.
E
Thank
you,
chair,
kara
cronkite,
for
the
record.
I
am
aware
that
oregon
is
working
on
some
language,
north
dakota
as
well.
We
worked
very
closely
with
north
dakota
in
our
language,
it's
very
similar
and
I'm
sure
there's
several
other
states.
I
don't
have
a
list
with
me,
but
I
think
utah
as
well
also
propose
some
language.
A
G
Thank
you,
assemblywoman
kasama
district
2..
My
question
is
on
the
amendment
I'm
looking
at
the
section
that
says:
nrs
557.160,
where
it
says
hemp
defined
and
section
one
has
the
extensive
meaning
of
what
what
it
means
and
then
two
says:
hemp
does
not
include
any
commodity
or
product
made
using
hemp.
C
Thank
you,
assemblywoman
tyler
klimas,
for
the
record.
You
know
we
could
look
at
that
with
with
legal.
I
mean
I
think,
subsection
two
would
talk
about.
Does
it
not
include
any
comp
commodity
or
product
made
using
hemp.
C
So
it's
it's
essentially
hemp
after
it
leaves
the
plant
and
what
they
can
make
after
and
we're
not
the
experts
on
him.
We
do
have
j
ashley
jepson
from
the
department
of
agriculture
and
ashley.
I'm
sorry
I'll
ask
to
put
you
on
the
spot,
but
if
you
could
help
clarify
that
ashley,
that
would
be
great
sure.
If
that's
okay.
H
H
Ensuring
that
the
term
hemp
isn't
used
loosely
for
any
like
cbd
products,
essentially
an
extracted
product
or
an
end
consumer
product,
that's
in
a
processed
form.
The
term
hemp
would
not
apply
to
those.
This
definition
is
exclusive
for
actual
crop
production,
and
then
it
expands
on
the
definition
of
hemp
in
in
ccb's
statutory
authority
that
helps.
A
Okay,
I
don't
see
additional
questions
at
the
moment
committee.
Obviously
we're
getting
this
amendment
this
morning,
we're
hearing
about
it.
So
if
you
do
have
questions
after
today's
meeting
director
klimas
and
his
team,
as
well
as
the
department
of
agriculture,
would
be
available
to
help
answer
any
of
those
questions
that
you
might
have.
But
for
now
it
doesn't
look
like
we
have
additional
questions.
I
do
want
to
thank
you
for
being
forward
looking
and
trying
to
take
this
issue
on
as
you're
well
aware,
we
are
only
in
session
for
another
25
days.
A
So
if
we
don't
have
a
chance
to
to
address
this
now,
then
it
would
be
another
two
years
and
I,
for
one
certainly
don't
want
to
put
our
youth
and
our
consumers
at
risk
of
a
substance
that
I
believe,
based
on
my
research,
has
some
really
serious
potential
public
health
implications.
So
again
I
want
to
thank
you
for
for
bringing
this
to
us
and
at
this
time,
we'll
take
testimony
on
the
bill
and
then
we'll
have
you
come
forward
for
any
concluding
remarks
when
we're
done
taking
testimony.
A
A
A
If
so,
if
you
could
get
my
attention
in
some
fashion
by
either
raising
your
hand
or
unmuting
yourself
and
letting
me
know,
you'd
like
to
testify,
I
can
take
a
look
over
here.
I
don't
see
that
happening
on
the
zoom,
so
bps.
Could
we
go
to
the
phone
lines
to
see
if
there's
anybody
there
in
support
of
senate
bill
49.
A
Thank
you,
bps
I'll,
close
testimony
and
support.
I
will
now
open
up
for
testimony
in
opposition
anybody
here
with
us
in
carson
city
in
opposition
to
senate
bill
49
nobody's
coming
forward.
Let
me
check
the
zoom
to
see
if
there's
anybody
there,
I
don't
see
anyone
on
the
zoom
indicating
that
they
would
like
to
testify
bps.
Could
we
go
back
to
the
phone
lines
to
see
if
there's
anybody
there
in
opposition?
Please.
A
Thank
you,
bps
I'll,
close
opposition.
Testimony
I'll
now
take
neutral
testimony.
Anybody
here
in
the
room
with
us
in
carson
city
who
is
neutral
on
senate
bill
49.
I
don't
see
anybody
coming
forward.
Let
me
check
the
zoom.
I
don't
see
anybody
turning
a
camera
on
there
bps.
Could
we
go
back
to
those
phone
lines
to
see
if
there's
anybody
in
the
neutral
position.
I
J
These
provisions
apply
to
any
owner
officer
or
board
member,
and,
if
I
understand
correctly,
the
mandatory
language
is
intended
to
have
these
provisions
applied
to
publicly
traded
companies.
We
believe
the
language
may
be
appropriate
for
an
individual
person,
who's
an
owner
officer
or
board
member,
but
it's
insufficient
for
a
publicly
traded
company.
There
may
even
be
a
conflict
with
nrf678b.210,
which
requires
each
quote.
Each
person,
who
is
proposed
to
be
an
owner
officer
or
board
member
end,
quote
to
submit
an
application
and
comply
with
certain
provisions
of
nevada's
cannabis
laws.
J
J
Further,
it
becomes
a
lot
of
work
for
the
staff
of
the
ccb,
as
well
as
the
members
of
the
board.
In
fact,
at
last
week's
meeting
of
the
ccb,
the
board
spent
about
an
hour
discussing
one
company
and
the
various
shares
transfers,
and
there
will
be
further
discussions
at
the
may
meeting
of
the
board
about
this.
One
company
we've
had
discussions
with
director
climates
and
chief
investigators
daily
to
discuss
solutions
to
the
issue
of
publicly
traded
companies.
J
When
this
bill
was
on
the
senate
side
in
the
hopes,
we
could
propose
an
amendment
that
would
better
reflect
how
to
manage
investigations
related
to
publicly
traded
companies.
We
weren't
able
to
come
to
a
resolution,
but
director
climate
is
committed
to
working
on
solutions
during
the
interim,
and
we
appreciate
that
and
hope
it
results
in
solutions
that
are
fair
to
publicly
traded
companies
and
does
not
continue
to
penalize
them
or
require
adherence
to
rules
that
may
not
yield
value
to
the
ccb
or
the
industry.
A
A
C
Thank
you,
chair
tyler
climates
for
the
record,
no
other
concluding
remarks
other
than
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
be
here,
and
thank
you
certainly
chair
and
members
of
the
committee
for
considering
the
amendment
today.
A
Thank
you
so
much
director
klymus
and
thank
you
to
the
rest
of
your
team,
who
is
here
in
person
and
on
zoom,
and
thanks
to
our
representatives
from
the
department
of
agriculture.
We
appreciate
you
spending
some
time
with
us
on
this
wednesday
morning
in
assembly,
judiciary
and
we
hope
you
have
a
great
rest
of
the
day.
A
I
will
now
close
the
hearing
on
senate
bill
49
committee
that
takes
us
to
our
second
bill
listed
on
the
agenda
and
that
is
senate
bill
57
and
its
first
reprint.
I
will
open
up
the
hearing
on
that
measure.
At
this
time
senate
bill
57
revises
provisions
governing
the
imposition
of
certain
special
assessments
by
a
board
of
county
commissioners
or
a
governing
board
of
a
city.
A
We
have
mr
harrison
here
from
clark
county
to
present
the
bill
and
I'll.
Let
the
committee
members
know
there
is
a
proposed
amendment
from
clark
county
that
I
believe,
would
be
friendly
because
it
is
from
the
sponsor.
I
think
there
is
also
another
amendment
listed
on
nellis
and
I
don't
know
if
that
amendment
is
friendly
or
not
so
we'll
hear
in
the
presentation.
A
So
we'll
give
you
a
chance
to
make
the
presentation
and
then
I'm
sure,
we'll
have
some
questions
and
committee.
Just
you
know.
There
are
quite
a
few
folks
who
are
registered
to
speak
on
this
bill,
so
make
yourself
comfortable
we're
going
to
be
here
a
little
while
on
this
one
welcome
and
please
go
ahead.
K
K
We
mentioned
the
conceptual
amendment
that
you'll
find
on
behalf
of
clark
county
that
is
friendly.
There
is
a
unfriendly
amendment,
also
posted
to
nellis
that
we
have
not
accepted
the
amendment
from
clark.
County
was
developed
following
conversations
with
stakeholders,
as
well
as
a
few
of
your
colleagues
on
the
senate
side,
namely
senators
orrin
shall
and
neil
so
a
little
background.
K
K
In
addition,
a
provision
has
been
added
to
extinguish
the
special
assessment
upon
compliance
for
180
days,
sections
two
and
three
would
eliminate
the
time
frame.
Requirements
of
180
days
or
12
months
is
set
forth
in
nrs,
244,
3603
and
244
3605
and
conforming
changes
are
made
for
incorporated
cities
governed
under
nrs
268..
K
In
short,
only
violations
of
county
code
in
these
specific
categories
with
a
fine
over
five
thousand
dollars
would
be
eligible
for
a
special
assessment
for
civil
penalties
to
be
imposed.
I
want
to
be
very
clear
from
the
onset.
The
intent
of
the
bill
is
not
to
force
people
out
of
their
homes.
There
has
been
concern
about
that.
That
is
not
the
intent.
The
counties
worked
extremely
hard,
especially
under
the
current
economic
conditions
that
our
state
faces
to
keep
people
in
their
homes.
K
K
I
turned
your
attention
to
the
the
slide
up
on
the
screen
or
or
on
nellis,
to
give
you
a
little
perspective
on
the
number
and
types
of
complaints
that
our
code
enforcement
officers
received
during
the
the
last
calendar
year
or
calendar
year.
2020.
K
K
K
However,
some
of
our
our
repeat,
offenders
and
bad
actors
will
not
come
into
voluntary
compliance.
So
by
narrowing
the
provisions
of
this
bill
to
the
two
categories
and
the
amendment
as
well
as
the
five
thousand
dollar
threshold,
there
are
roughly
100
properties
that
we
have
found
in
going
through
the
last
three
years
of
code
enforcement
data
that
would
that
would
fall
within
this
scope
of
special
assessment.
So
it
is,
it
is
not
a
broad
or
far-reaching
bill.
K
It
is
really
targeted
through
the
that
amendment,
to
specifically
address
repeat
offenders
and
those
that
are
unwilling
to
come
into
voluntary
compliance.
K
With
that
committee
members,
I
will
turn
the
the
presentation
over
to
jim
anderson
from
county
code
enforcement,
to
take
you
through
the
types
of
violations
and
and
get
into
a
little
more
the
specifics
of
of
how
that
process
takes
place
within
code
enforcement.
L
Chair
good
morning
to
you
and
members
of
the
committee,
this
is
jim
anderson
with
county
code
enforcement.
L
I
wanted
to
explain
our
our
code
enforcement
process
to
you
a
little
bit
as
I
get
started
here
and
as
justin
mentioned
several
times,
and
we
talk
about
this
all
the
time
in
our
offices
volunteer.
Voluntary
compliance
is
always
our
goal
with
all
of
our
cases.
The
second
thing
I
think
is
important
to
point
out
is
that
we
are
a
reactive
agency
so
that
all
complaints
that
we
respond
to
is
because
somebody
took
the
time
to
find
our
phone
number
and
call
us
because
they're
concerned
about
what's
going
on
in
their
neighborhoods.
L
So
an
example
I
wanted
to
walk
you
through
of
our
enforcement
process,
would
be
with
a
short-term
rental
case.
When
we
receive
a
complaint
of
a
short-term
rental
in
a
neighborhood.
The
first
thing
we
do
is
we
try
to
verify
that
the
complaint
exists.
We
do
this
through
inspections
of
the
property
trying
to
make
contact
with
property
owners.
L
L
Once
the
hearing
is
complete,
if
they're
not
satisfied
by
the
outcome
of
the
hearing,
they
can
also
request
a
judicial
review
through
the
courts
of
that
notice
as
well.
At
the
end
of
that
time
frame,
we
will
continue
to
check
the
property
to
see
if
they've
come
into
compliance
or
not.
If
we
can
confirm
that
the
violation
is
continuing
after
the
notice
is
expired,
then
we
will
issue
a
civil
penalty
to
the
property
owner.
We
will
issue
a
fine
to
them
again.
L
Once
a
fine
is
issued,
they
still
have
the
same
due
process
and
remedies
to
them
to
appeal
the
citation,
so
they
can
request
administrative
hearing
and,
depending
upon
the
hearing,
results,
if
they're
not
satisfied
with
that
again,
they
can
request
a
judicial
review,
and
so
once
once
that
goes
through
the
process,
if
it
is
upheld,
then
ultimately
a
lien
is
placed
on
the
property
and
we
continue
with
that
process
of
conducting
inspections
and
issuing
civil
penalties.
If
the
violation
continues
at
that
point
in
time,.
L
So
the
challenges
we
have
with
some
of
the
short-term
rentals
is:
it
takes
multiple
inspections.
Oftentimes
to
prove
a
violation
exists.
The
officers
go
out
to
the
doors
they
knock
on
the
doors
they
see.
If
they
can
make
contact
with
somebody,
we
receive
additional
complaints
from
neighbors,
and
so
we're
continually
checking
these
properties.
Some
of
the
cases
that
have
been
going
on
for
a
long
time
have
upwards
of
over
100
inspections
that
we've
conducted
on
them
any
time
in
this
process.
L
If
an
owner
calls
us
and
says
that
they
would
like
to
come
into
compliance,
they
like
additional
time
they
want
to
discuss
it
with
us.
We
stop
our
enforcement
actions,
we
work
with
them
and
we
try
to
help
them
get
the
properties
into
compliance.
So
why
are
we
asking
for
this
bill?
Why?
Why
do
we
need
this?
So
a
vast
majority
of
our
cases,
as
justin
mentioned,
we're
able
to
get
them
into
compliance
through
education
through
discussing
the
ordinances
with
them,
and
no
abatement
actions
are
necessary.
L
There's
no
civil
penalties
that
are
issued,
but
we
do
have
cases
short-term
rentals
of
being
one
of
them.
Where
abatement
is
not
an
option,
and
the
challenge
that
we
have
is
that
liens
on
the
properties
don't
always
work?
Many
of
these
property
owners
are
investors.
Their
their
intention
is
not
to
sell
these
properties
in
the
near
future.
L
So
if
they're
not
going
to
sell
the
property,
then
those
liens
don't
need
to
be
paid
until
such
time
as
they
do
sell
the
property,
and
so
some
of
the
properties
have
multiple
cases
that
have
gone
on
for
years.
They
have
pretty
hefty
fines
levied
against
them,
and
yet
they
still
continue
to
operate.
L
L
L
A
lot
of
these
property
owners
buy
these
properties
or
own
these
properties,
as
investment
properties
and
they're,
really
not
interested
in
investing
much
money
to
get
these
back
into
livable
conditions.
They're
content
with
hanging
on
to
the
properties
in
this
condition,
until
such
time
as
they
can
turn
around
and
resell
it,
and
so
in
these
cases
again
we
can
issue
civil
penalties
for
these
violations
and
the
challenges
we
have
with
collecting.
L
The
other
type
of
cases
I
wanted
to
talk
about
a
little
bit
more
in
detail
are
short-term
rentals
and
we
have
a
different
slide
for
that
as
well.
Please
so
short-term
rentals
currently
are
not
allowed
in
unincorporated
clark
county,
but
we
have
many
of
these
operators
that
continue
to
host
short-term
rentals
on
their
properties,
even
though
they've
been
asked
to
shut
down
so
again,
the
challenge
is
it's
very
difficult
to
prove.
As
I
stated
earlier,
we
respond
to
these
properties
multiple
times
to
get
them
into
compliance.
L
We've
had
folks
even
hand
us
fake
fake
leases
for
the
property,
saying
that
they're
staying
there
for
longer
than
31
days
and
the
big
challenge
with
short-term
rentals
is
is
really
a
lot
of
these
properties
can
be
a
huge
disruption
in
the
neighborhood.
So
we
have
folks
that
come
from
out
of
town,
they
want
to
come
to
las
vegas.
They
want
to
have
a
good
time,
but
the
problem
is
they
bring
the
the
party
mentality
that
they
might
have
staying
in
a
strip
resort
where
it's
appropriate
and
they
bring
that
into
the
neighborhoods
and
oftentimes.
L
When
you
talk
to
these,
these
renters
they're
like
well,
I'm
just
here
for
a
weekend
and
that's
fine,
but
the
problem
is
it's
going
on
every
weekend
and
during
the
week,
and
so
folks
who
live
here
directly
around
those
properties
can
have
a
hugely
impacted
negatively
by
by
these
properties,
continue
to
operate,
and
so
this
this
really
targets
the
the
worst
of
the
worst
offenders.
Those
properties
where
we're
continually
getting
complaints
for
the
neighbors,
where
law
enforcement
has
continually
responded,
and
yet
our
fines
are
just
not
working.
L
L
So
I
just
want
to
point
out
the
data
across
the
country
has
shown
that
in
in
the
best
regulated
permitted
jurisdictions
where
they
have
very
successful
efforts
at
permitting
these
properties,
they
still
are
only
getting
60
compliance
with
short-term
rentals
to
register
their
properties
properly
and
some
of
the
highest
rates.
I've
heard
are
75,
which
means
an
unincorporated
clark
county
alone.
L
That
would
still
leave
us
upwards
of
a
couple
thousand
two
thousand
unpermitted
short-term
rentals,
and
so,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
voluntary
compliance
is
the
goal
education
to
property
owners
is
what
we're
trying
to
do.
We
always
liken
it
to
what
is
the
minimum
amount
of
pressure
we
can
put
on
this
property
owner
to
get
them
to
comply
with
our
codes,
and
sometimes
it's
it's
just
a
notice
that
works.
Sometimes
it's
a
small
fine.
Sometimes
it's
larger
fines.
L
L
We
need
another
option
that
will
help
us
to
compel
compliance,
and
I
really
believe
that
the
ability
to
place
these
these
fees
and
fines
on
as
a
special
assessment
will
help
us
to
gain
compliance
with
those
property
owners.
That
concludes
my
portion,
mr
chair,
I'd
like
to
hand
it
back
over
to
justin
to
wrap
it
up.
K
Thank
you,
jim,
and
thank
you,
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record
justin
harrison
just
just
to
wrap
up
on
on
a
few
of
the
points
that
mr
anderson
made
code
enforcement
and
the
complaints
that
come
in
are
done
on
a.
K
K
I
will
note
that
this
idea
for
the
bill
was
also
initially
brought
forward
in
speaking
with
incorporated
cities
who
are
currently
using
this
this
authority
and
this
power
as
you're
aware,
cities
are
governed
slightly
differently
than
than
counties
here
in
the
state
and
we're
looking
to
come
on
to
an
equitable
playing
field.
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
presentation.
I
know
we
have
a
few
questions.
I
just
had
one.
I
was
looking
at
the
slideshow
that
you
had
up
there
about
the
party
houses
and
I
noticed
flamethrowers
rocket
launchers
and
monkeys,
and
so
my
question
was
was
that
at
one
party
or
were
those
three
separate
incidents,
and
and
were
you
able
to
do
anything?
I
don't
know
about
the
monkeys
but
flamethrowers
and
rocket
launchers?
I
think,
would
probably
violate
criminal
law,
so
just
wondered
if
he
had
any
ability
to
do
enforcement
on
that.
L
L
Actually,
law
enforcement
responded
multiple
times
to
one
of
those
properties
and
they
actually
started
a
chronic
nuisance
process,
because
in
addition
to
that,
there
was
a
number
of
other
criminal
violations
taking
place
on
that
property,
and
so
we
it's
been
quiet
for
a
while,
thankfully,
so
I
think
they
have
had
some
success
on
the
criminal
side
to
to
seize
that
activity.
A
Thank
you
and
I
thought
my
saturday
nights
with
dinner
and
a
movie
were
exciting.
I
guess
I'm
not
being
invited
to
the
right
parties.
I
don't
mean
to
make
light
of
that,
but
I
I
don't
know
that
I
would
have
predicted
those
three
things
in
one
sentence
together.
So
thank
you
for
that.
We
do
have
a
number
of
questions
and
committee
members.
I
know
many
of
you
have
questions
so
I'll.
Just
ask
for
your
patience
as
we
get
through
questions
so
far.
I
have
assemblywoman
gonzalez
vice
chairwin,
assemblywoman,
krasner
and
assemblywoman
kasama.
D
Thank
you
so
much
chair,
assemblywoman,
gonzales
district
16
for
the
record.
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
and
you
kind
of
touched
on
it
briefly
when
you
were
talking
about
like
other
cities.
So
I
was
just
curious.
Is
this
what's
happening
in
other
series?
Cities
is
this
the
process
is
this
like
a
common
practice
throughout
the
country.
K
K
I'm
not
aware
of
any
specific
jurisdictions
across
the
country
that
are
doing
this,
but
it
is
something
that
is
is
happening
happening
locally
in
clark
county
and
would
ask
mr
anderson
if,
if
he
is
aware
of
any
other
jurisdictions,.
D
Down
you
so
much
do
you
know
where
these
these
places
are
doing
doing
this
policy?
Are
we
talking
like
in
our
state
or
like
in
other
cities
in
various
states,.
L
Jim
anderson
for
the
record,
I've
spoken
to
to
folks
in
other
states,
we've
spoken
to
multiple
agencies,
so
I
don't
have
that
list
specific
to
that
answer
in
front
of
me,
but
I
can
certainly
get
that
information.
I
know
in
california
that
was
occurring
in
some
of
the
jurisdictions
we
spoke
to.
D
Thank
you
so
much
assemblywoman
gonzales
district
16
for
the
record
again
and
then
my
second
question
is,
I
don't
know
if,
if
you
touched
on
this
in
the
presentation
I
just
missed
it
so
is:
is
there
like
steps
in
place
before
we
get
here
or
would
you
have
the
ability
to
go
straight
to
this
option
with
this
bill.
L
Jim
anderson
for
the
record,
the
so
that
there's
a
noticing
process
that
I
mentioned,
that
we
go
through
initially
to
give
the
property
owners
time
to
comply
and
shut
down
and
they're
due
process
to
have
a
hearing,
as
well
as
a
judicial
review
of
the
results
of
that
hearing.
If
they're
not
satisfied
and
then
civil
penalties
are
levied
at
that
point,
where
again,
they
have
the
same
judicial
review
opportunities
through
an
administrative
hearing
in
a
court
review
of
that
process.
D
L
M
Thank
you,
mr
harrison.
I'm
sure
you're
sick
of
talking
with
me
about
short-term,
rentals
and
stuff,
but
you
know
I.
I
appreciate
you
bringing
senebel
57
trying
to
come
up
with
a
solution.
I
know
that
I
spent
a
great
deal
of
time
talking
with
yvette
williams
and
some
of
the
other
neighbors
in
the
spring
valley
township,
as
well
as
meeting
with
local
metropolitan
police
department.
That
are,
you
know,
having
issues
with
some
of
these
larger.
M
They
really
are
many
hotels
in
right
in
the
middle
of
like
neighborhoods,
within
clark,
county
and-
and
I
see
your
amendment-
I'm
assuming
this
was
an
attempt
to
kind
of
narrow
the
scope
of
what
assem
our
senate
bill.
57
would
include.
M
M
What
about
the
like
people
that
are
not
running
huge
hotels,
but
maybe
have
like
a
smaller
home
that
they
were
renting
out
to
families?
You
know
either
unintentionally
or
even
intentionally
illegally,.
K
Thank
you
for
the
question
for
the
record.
Justin
harrison
clark
county,
mr
chairman,
three,
you
disassembly
one
win.
First,
never
too
many
conversations
with
you.
Thank
you
for
being
so
open
to
to
discussing
ab
363
as
well
as
sb57.
K
K
That
was
a
suggestion
from
from
your
colleagues
in
the
senate
as
well
as
stakeholders,
but
we
think
addition
in
addition
to
to
narrowing
the
scope
of
the
bill
to
those
two
categories,
as
well
as
the
five
thousand
dollar
threshold
that
really
gets
at
the
heart
of
the
the
repeat:
offender,
those
that
are
unwilling
to
come
into
compliance
at
five
thousand
dollars
really
code
enforcement
has
to
has
to
be
out
and
and
issue
multiple
fines
for
multiple
violations
to
get
to
that
threshold.
K
It's
not
something
that's
going
to
come
quickly,
but
it
really
has
to
be.
At
that
point,
we
we
feel
intentional
in
order
to
get
to
that
that
barrier
that
threshold
of
five
thousand
dollars
any
there
is
quite
a
bit
of
time
before
that.
That
would
happen,
as
mr
anderson
mentioned,
these
special
assessments
would
only
be
put
on
the
tax
roll
once
a
year.
K
So,
depending
on
when
that
falls,
you
know
it
could
be
9
months,
10
months,
11
months
before
the
special
assessments
are
even
put
on
the
tax
roll
and
really
again
to
go
to
go
back
to
what
we've
mentioned
before
the
the
goal
is
compliance.
We
think
this
in
tandem
with
with
ab363
and
allowing
a
legal
route
to
licensure
of
short-term
rentals
in
clark
county
forces
folks
into
that
legal
lane,
but
I
will
mention
again,
as
mr
anderson
did,
even
in
in
large
jurisdictions,
with
large
compliance
bodies
and
enforcement.
K
At
times
it's
only
60
70
percent
of
short-term
rentals
that
do
come
into
compliance
voluntarily,
so
you
still
have
an
illegal
market
out
there.
So
I
apologize
for
the
lengthy
answer,
but
the
idea
is
yes
with
that
that
5000
threshold
and
the
narrowing
of
the
bill.
We
see
this
as
getting
at
those
that
are
repeat
offenders
that
are
unwilling
to
come
into
compliance.
M
And
a
follow-up
chair,
if
I
may,
with
respect
to
the
five
thousand
dollar,
would
that
be
per
violation,
or
is
that,
like
a
cumulative
like
amount.
K
For
the
record
justin
harrison,
thank
you
for
the
question,
a
silly
woman
that
would
be
a
cumulative
amount
they're.
The
counties
don't
have
the
authority
to
issue
fines
over
a
thousand
dollars,
so
you'd
be
unable.
We
would
be
unable
to
issue
a
five
thousand
dollar
fine
or
penalty
at
one
time.
M
And
then
we
heard
in
testimony
in
assembly
bill
363
that
there
was
potentially
up
to
7
800
unlicensed,
short-term
rentals,
like
in
clark
county.
Obviously
there
are
provisions
where
they
have
they're
not
allowed
so
they're
all
operating
illegally.
At
this
point,
as
far
as
violations
of
building
codes
and
health
regulations,
I
know
in
meeting
with
miss
williams
and
her
neighborhood
in
that
community.
They
had
pictures
of
like
illegal
septic
tanks
being
installed
in
some
of
these
homes
and,
like
you
know,
20-foot
walls
and
you
know
sound
things.
M
Would
these
violations
be
just
for
building?
I
guess,
would
they
building
code
health
regulations
like
what
kind
of
authority
are
you
able
to
capture
with
what
you
have
existing
in
your
ordinances?.
K
Thank
you
for
the
question
for
the
record
justin
harrison
with
clark
county
initially
assemblywoman.
The
bill
did
include
illegal
construction
within
its
scope
with
it
narrowed.
It
would
not
include
those
those
provisions.
That
is
something,
and
I
can
let
mr
anderson
speak
to
that
point-
that
we
are
seeing
as
many
of
these
operators
are
either
expanding
by.
K
L
Point
jim
anderson
for
the
record,
mr
chair,
through
you
to
assembly
women
when-
and
I
don't
know
if
I'm
answering
your
question-
I'm
trying
to
go
a
little
more
detail
than
what
mr
harrison
said
when
we,
when
we
have
violations
that
include
short-term
rentals
and
other
types
of
unpermitted
activity,
whether
it's
unpermitted
construction
and
that
sort
of
thing
we
those
are
separately
handled
by
our
office.
L
We
have
separate
cases
on
them,
so
they
wouldn't
be
joined
together
to
either
meet
that
five
thousand
dollar
threshold,
or
even
to
be
handled
through
our
our
noticing
and
due
process
enforcement
process
together.
So
it's
they're
handled
completely
separately,
but
we
do
have
the
tools
in
place
to
be
able
to
address
all
those
concerns
you
just
mentioned.
L
Jim
anderson
for
the
record,
mr
chair,
through
you
to
assemblywoman.
Currently
we
have
a
six-person
team,
that's
dedicated
to
addressing
our
short-term
rental
violations.
L
It
consists
of
four
code
enforcement
specialists,
one
supervisor
and
one
support
staff
who
does
a
lot
of
the
research
for
those
cases
and
again,
even
though
we
have
that
large
amount
in
unincorporated
clark
county,
we
are
only
reactive,
so
we're
only
responding
to
the
the
cases
where
people
call
and
complain
about.
So
we
are
averaging
about
900
complaints
per
year
that
we're
able
to
address
with
the
the
current
manpower
that
we
have.
L
D
K
K
We
think
this
really
touches
on
a
small
number
of
individuals
that
are
repeat
offenders,
as
I
mentioned
going
through
our
own
data
at
clark
county,
given
the
the
amendment
that
would
narrow
the
narrow
the
bill
to
those
operating
illegal,
short-term
rentals,
as
well
as
abandoned
properties,
as
well
as
incorporating
the
5000
threshold.
This
really
would
only
affect
97
properties
over
three
years,
so
the
universe
we
believe
is
is
very
small.
We've
worked
to
try
to
narrow
this
intentionally.
K
Could
really
be
a
problem
as
far
as
risk
and
risk
assessment
goes,
we've
asked
for
for
some
data
back
to
show
that
with
such
a
narrow
universe,
would
this
really
affect
the
entire
mortgage
industry
in
in
clark,
county
or
the
state
of
nevada,
and
have
not
heard
back
so
I
to
partially
answer
your
question.
We
feel
this
is
a
very
small
universe.
I
can't
answer
that
directly,
as
I
don't
have
that
information,
but
we'll
continue
to
work
with
those
stakeholders
and
hopefully
be
able
to
answer
that,
for
you.
G
Thank
you,
assemblywoman
kasama
district
2
for
the
record.
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
harris
for
the
presentation.
It
clearly
is
a
problem.
We
have
another
bill,
short-term
rentals
we've
got
this
one
here
and
I
think
not
only
for
clark
county,
but
I
I
know
for
hoa
communities
similar
problems
where
they
had
repeat
offenders
couldn't
do
anything,
and
so
we
had
legislation
passed.
G
I
don't
know
what
year
I
wasn't
here
in
the
assembly
to
give
them
a
super
priority,
lien
for
nine
months
of
hoa
fees,
but
many
cases
they
had
five
years
worth
of
hoa
fees
that
ate
up
the
value
of
the
property
and
finally
gave
them
an
ability.
But
in
that
case
as
well,
when
they
could,
you
know
foreclose
on
the
properly
for
repeat
offenses,
not
responding
to
properly
served
notices.
G
I
know
there
was
concerns
with
the
banks
at
that
time
for
the
first
priority
lien.
So
in
your
bill,
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
here
that
you're
going
to
add
it
to
the
property
tax
rolls
and
that
will
give
you
the
ability
to
foreclose
on
the
property
and
then
not
only
the
property
taxes.
But
this
assessment
for
these
fines
that
would
be
in
a
first
position
versus
the
first
lien
from
the
bank.
Is
that.
K
Correct
for
the
record,
justin
harrison
clark
county
assemblywoman.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Yes,
so
in
discussions
with
with
the
mortgage
industry,
we
do
see
that
having
the
special
assessment
tied
to
the
property
taxes
would
put
it
in
first
position.
K
We
want
to
see,
on
behalf
of
the
property
owner,
a
willingness
to
stay
in
compliance,
thus
the
the
language
for
180
days,
but
we
see
that
as
really
nullifying
those
concerns.
As
so
long
as
the
property
is
in
compliance,
there
would
be
no
special
assessment,
so
I
don't
know
if
that
answers
your
question
or.
G
So,
and
I
do
believe,
you
need
the
authority
for
the
bad
actors
that
just
don't
do
anything
and
your
hands
are
tied,
you
can
only
put
liens
on
and
if
they
don't
sell
the
property
it
has
no
meaning
to
them,
and
so,
if
they're
making
plenty
money
off
of
it,
they
they
don't
they
don't
care.
So
I
I
really
believe
you
need
some
type
of
mechanism.
My
my
concern
is
by
having
a
super
priority.
G
Over
the
first
lien,
there
is
risk
with
the
bankers
association
with
the
loans
that
they
place
in
the
state
of
nevada
and
the
higher
the
risk
they'll
end
up
with
premium
pricing
on
the
loans.
So
so,
then
what
happens
is
in
the
state
of
nevada.
The
home
buyer
has
a
higher
mortgage
than
they
do
in
another
state,
and
so
it's
premium
pricing.
It's
just
it's
just
how
how
things
work,
and
I'm
just
concerned
for
our
first
time
home
buyers,
affordable
housing
that
potentially
loan
rates
could
be
higher.
G
Because
of
this,
and
so
I
don't
know,
if
there's
consideration
that
the
you
need
the
ability
to
foreclose
but
that
the
assessments
would
be
below
the
first
lien,
because
the
goal
is
to
stop
the
bad
act
or
not
to
collect
money.
I
know
money
and
penalties
is
a
vehicle
to
get
things
done
and
we
need
to
have
that.
But
if
there's
consideration
for
that,
so
that
we
don't
end
up
with
premium
pricing
on
loans.
So
just
a
consideration
for
that.
K
Sure
and
just
a
quick
follow-up
for
the
record
justin
harrison
with
clark
county.
Thank
you
assemblywoman.
You
know
that
that
consideration
was
given
and-
and
we
think
again
by
narrowing
the
universe-
that
really
that
looking
at
the
risk
assessment
that
those
mortgage
lenders
you
take
into
consideration
is
incredibly
small.
K
We've
gone
through
the
conversation
of
hoa
as
their
super
priority
position
being
a
vastly
larger
universe
than
the
97
cases.
We
see
over
three
years,
additionally,
and
and
this
has
been
brought
up
before
the
ability
for
municipalities
to
go
through
this.
This
current
process
and
we've
not
heard
back
to
see
how
that
is
being
handled
by
by
the
mortgage
and
banking
industry,
and
there
seems
to
be
no
concern-
or
in
that
case,
knowledge
that
this
is
happening.
K
K
I
I
feel
like
this
is
a
good
time
to
address
the
proposed
amendment
from
the
the
mortgage
and
banking
industry
of
only
having
the
ability
to
place
these
special
assessments
on
properties
without
mortgages
we
went
through
and
did
our
due
diligence
and
and
really
looked
at
each
individual
property
that
would
fall
within
this
threshold
over
the
last
three
years
and
75
of
those
properties
did
have
a
mortgage.
K
We
also
see
that
as
a
potential
liability
of
treating
properties
differently
and
third
really
there's
nothing,
stopping
a
a
property
owner
who
doesn't
have
a
mortgage
from
going
out
and
getting
one
if
they're
in
this
situation,
if
they
are
savvy
enough
to
have
set
up
an
operation
to
where
they're,
making
large
amounts
of
money
and
if
I'll,
either
paid
out
the
mortgage
or
bought
the
property
in
cash,
there's
nothing
from
keeping
them
from
going
out
on
the
open
market,
getting
a
small
mortgage
and
then
protecting
themselves
from
that
provision.
K
So
I
apologize
for
the
tangent,
but
felt
felt
it
was
a
good
segue
to
to
address
that
proposal.
G
A
B
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
think
I
see
what
you
guys
are
trying
to
do
here,
but
I'm
just
wondering,
as
I
look
at
the
bill
right
on
the
front
page
here.
It
says
on
behalf
of
clark
county,
it's
being
presented
by
clerk
county
and
I
look
through
the
bill.
I
don't
see
anything
in
here
about
any
of
the
other
counties
and
I
don't
see
a
population
cap
on
it.
So
I'm
wondering
am
I
just
missing
something
is,
or
is
this
going
to
be
imposed
upon
the
entire
state,
or
is
this
just
for
clark
counties?
K
B
Thank
you
chair,
so
you've
you've
talked
about
the
party
homes
and
the
short-term
rentals
and
the
nuisance
homes
where
there's
disrepair,
but
can
you
address
because
I
understand
that
compliance
is
the
goal?
But
what
do
you
do
to
get
to
compliance
when
you
have
a
quarter?
Who
has
a
mental
health
condition
or
someone
who
just
the
home
is
in
disrepair
but
they're,
just
not
capable
of
of
keeping
it
up?
How
is
there
any
help
from
the
county
on.
K
That
for
the
record
justin
harrison.
I
will
turn
that
over
to
mr
anderson
on
zoom.
L
Jim
anderson
for
the
record
assemblywoman
cohen
code
enforcement
works
really
hard
with
those
property
owners
who
are
willing
to
comply
with
our
ordinances
and
for
whatever
reason,
have
difficulties
and
oftentimes
it's
it's
somebody
who
a
hoarder
who
may
have
some
mental
health
challenges.
L
L
We
can
reach
out
to
different
different
folks
to
see
what
we
can
do,
and
sometimes
the
answer
is:
if
it's,
maybe
it's
an
inexpensive
project,
you
know
one
of
our
contractors
will
donate
the
work
or
occasionally
we
just
have
to
give
them
a
sufficient
amount
of
time
to
make
sure
it
gets
done.
So
again,
when
folks
are
willing
to
work
with
us,
we
we
will
do
what
it
takes
to
to
try
to
help
them
to
come
into
compliance
on
their
own.
B
Thank
you
chair
and
thank
you
for
bringing
the
spill
david
orent
liquor
assembly
district
20..
I
just
want
to
clarify
a
diff
small
difference
in
language
between.
What's
on
your
slide
and
what's
in
the
conceptual
amendment
in
describing
the
narrower
class
of
offenses,
so
on
the
slide,
it
says
squatters
and
abandoned
houses,
and
the
conceptual
amendment
says:
abandoned
houses,
which
seems
more
consistent
with
your
discussion,
and
so
I
hope
that's
what
you
intend.
K
For
the
record,
justin
harrison
clark
county
assemblyman,
yes,
and
I
apologize
for
that
that
typo
on
the
slide,
that
is
the
the
proposal,
is
to
the
proposed
languages
for
abandoned
houses.
B
A
Great,
thank
you
assemblywoman
gonzalez.
Did
you
have
another
question?
No
okay.
Does
anyone
else
have
questions
for
clark
county?
You
know
I'm
going
to
ask
at
least
one
and
mr
harrison.
I
don't
know
if
you
can
answer
this.
I
know
there
are
a
number
of
other
folks
who
may
be
in
a
better
position
to
answer
it.
A
But
here
is
the
question
so,
under
the
current
structure
of
the
nrs
for
non-judicial
foreclosures,
particularly
speaking
of
the
hoa
fees,
there
are
all
these
rights
of
redemption
where
folks
have
a
time
period
to
be
able
to
pay,
and
I
believe
the
primary
note
holder.
Normally,
a
mortgage
company
also
has
the
right
to
come
in
and
pay
the
fees
and
fines
so
that
the
property
is
not
foreclosed
upon.
A
If
we
were
to
pass
this
bill,
is
it
your
understanding
that
all
of
those
kind
of
protections
that
are
already
in
place
with
respect
to
super
priority,
liens
and
hoa
fees
would
apply
in
this
circumstance
as
well,
or
would
this
sort
of
create
a
a
different
process,
a
different
track
with
potentially
without
those
protections?
And
I
know
it's
a
pretty
technical
legal
question
so
no
problem
if
we
need
to
punt
to
somebody
else.
K
I
appreciate
the
question
for
the
record
justin
harrison
with
clark
county.
Thank
you
assemblyman.
I
will
actually
turn
that
over
to
lisa
logsden
from
the
district
attorney's
office
and
see
if
she
can
answer
that.
D
Good
morning,
chairman
lisa
lawson
for
the
record,
so
with
it
becoming
a
special
assessment
that
comes
on
the
tax
roll,
it
will
then
be
afforded
all
of
the
due
process,
protections
that
apply
with
the
tax
sale
process.
So
that
process
is
even
more.
D
More
procedures
and
more
protections
for
the
homeowner
than
even
in
a
non-judicial
foreclosure
sale,
so
there's
multiple
rights
of
redemption
and
yes,
the
mortgage
holder,
is
entitled
to
those
notices
and
they're
entitled
to
redeem
any
of
those
properties
and
if
you're
familiar
with
the
tax
sale
process,
it
is
a
lengthy
process.
It's
a
three-year
process
before
the
county
can
even
deem
the
property
eligible
for
a
tax
sale
and,
like
I
said
during
that
process,
there
are
multiple
notices
and
multiple
opportunities
to
redeem
the
property
and
also
by
the
county.
D
A
Thank
you
for
that
response,
and
I
have
one
follow
up
on
on
on
that
and
again
this.
This
may
be
beyond
your
scope
of
expertise,
but
in
the
property
tax
sale.
If,
if
the
sorry
about
that,
if
the
mortgage
holder
decides
that
they
want
to
come
in
and
satisfy
the
the
fees
that
were
assessed
so
that
the
property
is
not
non-judicially,
foreclosed
is
the
note
holder
somehow
able
to
roll
that
amount
into
the
existing
mortgage
or
have
it
as
an
assessment
so
that
in
theory
you
know
they
would
recoup
the
money.
D
Lisa
locksman
for
the
record
yeah.
I
am
not
familiar
with
what
the
mortgage
companies
rights
are
under
their
mortgage
or
their
data
trust
documents,
I
believe,
with
property
taxes.
There
are
provisions
in
there
and
which
allow
them
to
recoup
those
I
mean
just
as
though
they
would
pay
the
property
taxes
or
escrow
so,
and
I
believe
they
may
do
those
with
special
improvement
districts
such
as
sids.
A
Great
thank
you
appreciate
that
I'll
have
one
last
call
for
questions
here
from
committee
members.
I
think
almost
everyone's
asked
a
question,
so
I
don't
see
additional
questions
at
this
point.
So
thank
you
for
presenting
the
bill
we're
going
to
take
some
testimony
and
then
we'll
have
a
chance
to
come
back
for
concluding
remarks
on
the
bill.
A
N
B
N
B
A
A
A
I
I
H
H
As
many
of
you
are
aware,
washoe
county
recently
passed
our
ordinances
regarding
the
enforcement
of
strs
in
unincorporated
washoe
county,
most
of
which
are
the
lake
tahoe
area.
So
we
are
very
supportive
of
this
bill
to
give
some
parity
between
counties
and
cities,
as
well
as
helping
give
us
some
additional
tools
in
the
toolbox.
I
J
J
We
believe
the
enabling
language
in
sp
57,
allowing
counties
to
pass
an
ordinance
to
make
fines
related
to
real
property.
Special
assessments
on
property
tax
bills
is
an
important
option
for
local
government.
This
legislation
provides
an
additional
mechanism
to
allow
local
governments
to
address
chronic
nuisance
issues
that
often
affect
health
and
safety
of
residents
in
their
communities.
With
the
conceptual
amendment
presented
by
clark,
county
nico
believes
this
brings
balance
to
enforcement
and
provides
an
incentive
to
ensure
a
speedier
resolution
in
compliance
to
outstanding
violations.
I
J
Good
morning,
chairman
yeager
and
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
aj
delapp
of
the
las
vegas
metropolitan
police
department.
My
last
name
is
phonetically,
spelled
david,
easy,
lincoln,
adam
paul
for
record.
The
las
vegas
metropolitan
police
department
is
in
support
of
sb
57
and
believe
that
this
measure
will
assist
in
curbing
some
of
the
most.
A
I
H
J
A
B
B
B
I
converted
those
properties
to
rent
as
an
str,
so
I
could
afford
the
assisted
living
for
my
parents.
Everything
worked
out
great.
It
was
covering
all
the
expenses
clark
county
code
enforcement
then
started
giving
me
liens
against
our
fines
against
the
property.
I
was
shocked
and
I
actually
thought
it
was
a
joke.
B
B
B
Now
I
don't
have
that
seventy
two
thousand
dollars
and
they're
going
to
want
to
now
take
my
properties.
This
is
an
absolute
egregious
action.
There
is
nobody
that
should
have.
No
municipality
should
have
that
kind
of
power
over
its
citizens
to
take
their
properties
away.
I
really
appreciate
all
your
time
and
listening
to
my
story.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Thank
you
for
your
testimony
here
this
morning
and
I
would
invite
members
if
you
do
have
questions
for
mr
korndyk
to
ask
him
offline,
because
we
have
a
lot
of
folks
who
want
to
testify
but
appreciate
you
being
here
this
morning.
We
will
stick
with
testimony
here
in
carson
city
in
opposition.
Is
there
anybody
else
in
the
room
who'd
like
to
testify
in
opposition.
A
A
I
H
Good
good
morning,
phyllis
gergovich
p,
h
y
l,
l,
I
f
g.
U
r
g
e
v.
I
c
h
for
the
record
here
representing
nevada
bankers
association.
Thank
you,
chair
yeager,
and
thank
you
committee
members
for
for
the
opportunity
to
testify
nevada
bankers.
Association
opposes
sb
57
in
residential
lending.
Lenders
need
to
rely
on
the
property
as
collateral.
It's
what
secures
their
loans.
It's
called
secured
lending.
H
It's
why
the
interest
rates
for
a
home
loan
are
so
much
lower
than
that
of
an
unsecured
loan
like
a
credit
card
and
anything
that
puts
that
security
or
collateral
at
risk
creates
an
environment
where
costs
for
those
loans
escalate.
While
the
number
of
participating
lenders
in
the
market
go
down
which
offers
less
consumer
choice
and
further
increases
prices
for
potential
home
buyers,
so
there's
a
saying
in
the
industry
that
they
use
it's
first
in
time.
H
First,
in
line
it's
really
the
golden
rule,
so
that
everybody
knows
clearly
where
they
stand
and
it
allows
informed
decisions
based
on
that
standing
in
the
case
of
priority
liens,
they
jump
existing
liens
and
regardless
of
how
narrowly
one
tries
to
focus
or
limits
what
the
intention
is.
It's
it's
the
ability
to
place
a
priority
lien
that
creates
the
risk
and
that
risk
then
applies
to
every
single
property
in
nevada,
obviously,
can
cause
major
disruptions
in
the
market
and
that
amount
of
disruption
gets
the
attention
of
the
gses.
H
So
we
recognize
the
serious
issue
and
we
feel
the
county's
frustration
with
the
violators
that
won't
fall
in
line,
but
we,
we
truly
believe
that
forcing
lenders
home
buyers,
the
real
estate
market,
all
to
pay
the
penalty
for
someone
else's
other
other
people's
ordinance
violations,
violations
that
they're
really
not
party
to
and
have
no
control
over.
This
just
isn't
an
equitable
solution,
so
nba
members
are
strongly
opposed
to
this
bill.
We
remain
extremely
concerned
whenever
priority
liens
rise
up
in
the
home
lending
industry.
I
O
Swiss
rizzard
with
american
for
prosperity
and
that
spell
w-I-z-r-o-u-z-a-r-d
on
behalf
of
america,
for
prosperity,
nevada
and
that's
the
director
of
grassroots
operation.
I
asked
the
judiciary
committee
to
oppose
senate
bill
57.
First
of
all,
I
will
say:
we've
been
working
very
diligent
with
you
all,
and
this
committee
has
been
done.
Some
tremendous
work
in
the
last
six
years,
just
on
the
judicial
process
of
our
state
and
really
applying
the
law,
but
more
important,
making.
O
Sure
things
are
fair
and
making
sure
that
individuals,
especially
those
who
are
financially
least
unfortunate,
have
ways
to
remedy
situations
when
they
do
arise
and
rather
than
letting
them
ruin
their
lives,
it
gives
them
a
chance
to
to
be
on
the
on
the
straight
path.
Senate
bill
57
actually
would
do
away
with
all
of
that
work.
We've
asked
clark
county
on
several
occasions.
O
We've
even
introduced
an
amendment
to
provide
protection
for
those,
and
I
forget
the
assembly
person
who
brought
it
up,
but
there
are
individuals
who
are
just
financially
unable
to
to
meet
the
the
fines
and
fees,
excessive
fines
and
fees
that
clark
county
has
deliberately
applied
to
these
individuals,
not
because
their
property
is
dangerous
not
because
of
trash,
not
because
of
their
issues
simply
because
of
renting
out
their
home
or
a
room
for
less
than
30
days,
and
our
proposed
amendment
was,
we
wanted
to
make
sure
clark
county
had
established
a
procedure
for
the
county
to
determine
an
individual's
ability
to
pay
the
unpaid
fines
and
fees
they
denied
that
we
asked
the
county
to
make
sure
if
there
was
going
to
be
a
payment
amount
where
they're
talking
about
they
have
nine
to
12
months
to
meet
to
pay
off
this
loan,
and
if
they
don't,
then
it
can
go
into
foreclosure.
O
We
said
you
know:
people
are
literally
on
fixed
income
and
some
people
through
the
pandemic,
don't
have
a
job.
We've
asked
them
to
place
a
five
percent
cap
on
people's
monthly
net
income
for
that
unpaid
fee.
They
denied
that
we
have
to
make
sure
that
those
individuals
who
are
unemployed
or
don't
have
any
financial
means
to
provide
for
the
fines
and
fees
could
they
do
community
service
they'd
deny
that
so
clark
county
is
not
interested
in
allowing
people
to
remedy
their
infractions.
More
importantly,
as
lewis
corndike
said,
they
not
only
cumulatively
add
the
fines.
O
O
But
this
is
definitely
not
not
it,
and
I
wouldn't
want
to
see
the
judiciary
committee
work,
which
you
all
have
done
tremendous
work
and
and
did
a
great
job
on
really
go
for
vade,
because
this
bill
really
is
going
to
target
those
who
are
financially
fortunate
and
there's
multiple
stories
that
might
much
like
louis
corn,
dyke,
where
they're
not
aware
of
short-term
renting
being
illegal
and
during
the
pandemic
they
rented
their
room
or
their
whole
house
in
less
than
30
days,
because
they
didn't
want
to
deal
with
the
long-term
winner
only
to
be
hit
with
five
six
thousand
dollar
fines
in
one
one
occasion.
O
And
yes,
that
was
a
bartender
that
called
me
and
cried
because
she's
now
facing
seven
thousand
dollars
of
fines
from
clark
county,
because
she
rented
her
home
after
a
long-term
renter,
sabotaged
her
property
and
she
was
unemployed.
So
we
ask
that
you
all
oppose
this
bill
and
we
greatly
think
the
work
that
you
are
doing.
Hats
off
to
rachelle
nguyen
looking
for
ways
to
actually
legalize
this
and
making
sure
property
owners
in
nevada
who
face
financial
hardship,
have
another
economic
vehicle
to
supplement
their
income
and
stay
in
their
home.
I
I
H
I
am
here
on
behalf
of
the
nevada
land,
title
association
and
we're
speaking
in
opposition
of
sb
57,
like
others
who
have
and
will
be
testifying
in
opposition.
The
nlpa
shares
the
concerns
about
our
ability
to
ensure
title
on
these
properties.
In
the
event,
sb
57
passes
the
federal
housing
finance
agency,
freddie
mac,
fannie
mae.
H
H
These
properties
are
a
problem.
We
recognize
that
clark
county
is
attempting
to
address
this
issue
through
sb
57.
However,
nlpa
shares
the
concerns
of
others
that
this
is
not
the
pathway
to
address
the
problem.
It
will
have
an
adverse
impact
on
real
estate
on
the
real
estate
marketplace
in
nevada.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
I
J
Good
morning
this
is
teresa
mckee
m-c-k-e-e,
I'm
with
nevada
realtors.
Thank
you,
chair
and
members
of
the
committee,
while
the
realtors
support
full
compliance
of
an
enforcement
of
laws,
including
the
short-term
rental
laws,
we
look
to
the
larger
issue
to
the
state
as
a
whole
and
believe
that
this
would
create
instability
in
lending,
as
stated
by
many
others.
J
I
J
J
First,
we
do
want
to
acknowledge
the
county's
efforts
to
develop
an
amendment
to
relieve
our
concerns,
and
we
would
like
to
continue
to
work
with
them.
That
said,
our
key
concern
is
that
the
bill
enables
these
assessments
to
result
in
a
super
priority.
Lien
over
existing
and
subsequent
first
mortgages,
the
behavior
that
causes
these
assessments
is
not
something
the
credit
union
lender
has
any
control
over.
J
I
N
Thank
you
very
much,
chair
yeager
members
of
the
committee,
thanks
for
your
time
today,
my
name
is
jonathan
getty,
j,
o
n,
a
t
h,
a
n
g
e
d
d
e,
I'm,
the
chair
of
the
nevada
mortgage
lenders,
association
and
chief
executive
of
simplify
mortgage
I'd
like
to
start
by
saying
that
we
sympathize
with
sympathize
with
the
county's
position.
Specifically,
the
short-term
rentals
having
a
few
owners
create
serious
problems
for
communities,
is
a
legitimate
problem
and
absolutely
needs
a
solution.
However,
we
must
strongly
oppose
this
bill,
certainly
in
its
current
form.
N
In
addition,
we
also
believe
that
language
that's
supposedly
given
has
given
cities.
Similar
authority
needs
to
be
looked
at
and
likely
removed
from
nrs
placing
punitive
civil
penalties
in
a
priority.
Lean
position
in
front
of
a
first
mortgage
is
just
not
the
right
solution.
N
There
are
a
lot
of
other
ways
that
this
could
be
addressed,
and
this
not
only
causes
a
lot
of
problems
as
you've
heard
within
the
the
housing
and
housing
finance
industry.
I
don't
actually
believe
that
it
will
solve
the
problem
federal
law.
My
understanding
prohibits
most
anything
from
taking
priority
over
federally
related
mortgage
loans
and
well
over
80
of
mortgage
loans
are
federally
insured
or
backed,
and
I
believe
that
the
county
has
estimated
that
75
of
the
most
problematic
properties
do
have
mortgage
loans
on
them.
N
N
G
N
That's
not
an
insignificant
risk
to
the
mortgage
community
and
steps
will
will
need
to
be
taken
to
accommodate
for
that
risk
and,
and
even
if,
even
if
it
has
found
that
there
isn't
significant
risk
to
federally
related
mortgages,
there
certainly
would
be
to
to
credit
union
loans
and
other
non-federally
related
mortgages.
N
N
This
bill
is
given
the
authority
to
do
exactly
that
and,
as
the
gentleman
testified,
the
short-term
rental
fines
can
lead
to
devastating
consequences.
The
mortgage
industry
is
going
to
look
at
this
as
a
potential
risk
posed
by
the
language
and
not
what
the
county's
county
asserts
as
their
intention
to
bring
owners
in
compliance.
A
A
I
H
Ahead
caller,
can
you
hear
me
my
name
is
marybeth
heischmann.
I
had
issues
on
the
call
in
favor
of
so
I'm
sorry,
but
I'm
in
favor
of
sb
57.
So
a
yes,
we've
had
a
repeat
offender
and
bad
actor
who
makes
four
bedroom
homes
in
to
16
room
party
homes,
one
of
his
homes
even
advertises
to
cater
to
500
guests
for
events,
this
bad
actor
has
not
paid
a
single
dime
and
we've
been
fighting
for
years
and
not
one
citation
has
been
paid.
This
is
very
disappointing
that
an
out-of-state
or
out-of-country
investor
has
no
consequences.
H
My
neighbors
families
and
myself
are
terrified
that
these
mini
hotels
will
be
of
great
danger
with
a
recent
gang
shooting
and
also
constant,
speeding,
exotic
cars
over
the
weekend.
If
97
cases
are
bad
actors
over
the
three
years,
I
do
not
see
this
as
a
negative
impact
since
rolled
into
taxes,
but
as
an
overall
positive
for
our
community.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
A
Thank
you
for
your
testimony,
we're
going
to
categorize
your
testimony
as
support
and
at
this
time
bps.
I
want
to
go
back
to
supportive
testimony.
I
I'm
hearing
that
there
are
a
few
people
on
the
line
who
had
some
difficulty
getting
in
the
queue
for
support,
so
I'd
like
to
go
back
in
and
reopen
support
and
give
those
folks
an
opportunity
to
provide
supportive
testimony
so
bps.
If
we
could
form
a
cue
for
supportive
testimony
and
take
the
first
caller,
please.
I
I
J
Yes,
my
name
is
linda
regal
r-I-e-g-l-e.
I
live
in
unincorporated
clark
county
in
what's
commonly
known
as
section
11,
a
rural
preservation
neighborhood.
As
you
heard
from
the
last
speaker
and
many
of
my
neighbors
in
letter
forms,
we
have
been
subjected
to
the
scourge
of
transient
lodging
in
our
neighborhood,
yes
yeager.
It
is
absolutely
true
about
the
monkeys
and
the
clowns,
and
indeed
that
property
is
still
operating,
perhaps
not
with
the
clowns
every
week,
but
the
property
is
still
operating
with
loud,
music
and
parties.
J
Every
weekend,
notwithstanding
the
fact
that
the
rentals
have
turned
largely
single-family
homes
into
concrete
funk
houses,
they
blatantly
advertise,
they
can
sleep
over
16
people
and
have
parties
up
to
500..
The
counties
advise
us
that
they
are
virtually
powerless
to
enforce
the
basic
building
law
or
code
regulations.
J
J
Some
of
the
testimonials-
and
this
is
online
for
one
property-
asserts
that
it
was
quote
great
for
a
big
group
perfect
for
housing,
150
people
and
sleeping
18,
indeed,
those
helping
with
the
event.
We
must
be
frank
here,
while
some
people
are
truly
here
for
a
family
reunion.
There's
no
doubt
that
many
wish
to
use
a
large
party
house
to
do
so
because
they
want
to
have
a
vegas
experience.
J
They
want
loud
music
to
use
drugs
illegally
illegal
and
one
can
even
they
have
even
seen
what
we
call
epimestically
used
escort
services,
I'm
no
prude
and
I
don't
care
what
one
does
except
these
activities
do
not
belong
in
a
residential
neighborhood.
J
It's
important
that
the
county
have
the
enforcement
power
to
enforce
these
regulations.
Please
support
senate
bill
57,
I'm
sure
the
mortgage
issues
can
be
resolved
because,
indeed,
mortgages
have
clauses
that
indicate
that
they
can
be
foreclosure
for
illegal
activity.
These
activities
are
legal
and
the
mortgage
companies
have
their
own
powers.
Thank
you
again.
I
F
Yvette
williams,
y-b-e-t-t-e
w-I-l-l-I-a-m-s
and
because
of
my
affiliation
with
several
different
organizations,
I
just
want
to
say
on
the
record
that
I'm
calling
as
a
private
citizen
and
a
resident
of
section
11..
I
won't
take
the
committee's
time
by
repeating
a
lot
of
the
things
that
you've
heard
in
support,
even
some
of
our
neighbors.
F
But
I
would
like
to
just
reemphasize
the
conditions
over
here
in
section
of
section,
11
and
and
just
ask
if
you
have
not
had
a
chance
to
drive
over
into
our
neighborhood,
please
come
you
all,
have
my
contact
information.
I
did
submit
a
letter
on
the
record
with
more
details
and
my
contact
information.
I
would
be
happy
to
personally
escort
you
to
our
motel
hotel
corridors
in
our
neighborhood.
We
literally
have
on
one
of
our
blocks
alone.
F
There
are
because
we
are
on
large
lots,
half
and
acre
lots,
and
we,
by
the
way
we
are
protected
in
nrs
as
rural
neighborhood,
preservations
and
and
and
so
we're
being
encroached
on
in
violation
of
these
of
our
of
nrs.
But
I
want
to
say
that
in
just
one
block
alone,
there
are
probably
let's
see,
there's
there's
on
one
side
of
the
street.
There
are
five
homes
and
on
that
one
block,
there
are
three
short-term
rentals
that
are
rented
out
as
party
houses.
F
The
facades
on
the
front
of
the
houses
have
been
changed.
They
do
not
even
look
like
residential
homes,
they
put
up
these
facade
walls
which
crazy
decor
on
it,
so
that
they
can
block
the
view
so
that
law,
enforcement
and
code
enforcement
can't
see
in
and
and
they
can
hide
out
behind
these,
these
walls
they
put
illegal
staircases
in
they
put
illegal
septic
tanks
that
are
now
multiple
septic
tanks
to
to
to
to
try
to
to
serve
the
number
of
multiple
bathrooms.
F
They've
added
and
these
septic
tanks
are
leaching
into
neighbors
yards.
There's
a
health
issue
here
as
well,
and
we
have
not
been
able
to
get
any
resolve.
We
have
been
working
with
the
county
for
approximately
five
years
on
this
issue.
We've
worked
with
code,
we've
worked
with
law
enforcement,
I
mean
it.
It
is
just
unbelievable
what
we
live
through
and
some
of
my
neighbors.
F
I
feel
so
bad
on
that
corridor
street,
where
there
are
three
out
of
five
homes,
so
the
the
the
owner
occupied
homes
are
right,
dead
between
these
homes
and
we
see
an
exit.
People
are
selling
their
homes
who
have
raised
their
families
here
who
want
a
road.
Some
are
raising
their
grandkids,
some.
We,
we
have
multiple
family
units
living
together,
multi-generational.
F
You
know
it's
unbelievable,
what's
going
on
over
here,
and
so,
if,
if
you
have
not
been
over
here,
I
just
want
to
invite
you
to
come.
I
would
be
happy
to
host
you.
Take
you
and
drive
you
around
our
neighborhood
so
that
you
can
see.
I
don't
think,
there's
one
block
in
our
neighborhood
now,
because
we're
so
central
to
the
strip
that
is
not
being
impacted
by
these
party
houses,
and
so
please
we
ask
you
to
please
support
the
senate
bill.
57
help
us
help
us
preserve
our
our
lifestyle.
F
A
I
J
F
A
A
Thank
you
bps.
I
will
then
again
close
support
and
just
to
make
sure
we're
capturing
everyone.
Bps,
I'm
gonna
go
back
to
opposition
just
for
a
moment
to
make
sure
that
there's
not
anybody
else
on
the
phone
line
in
opposition.
So
could
you
please
confirm
whether
there's
anyone
else
in
opposition?
Please.
I
A
I
I
A
K
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record
justin
harrison
with
clark
county,
so
just
some
brief
concluding
remarks
and
and
happy
to
take
any
additional
questions
and
clear
up
any
any
misconceptions
that
may
have
been
brought
forward
in
testimony
just
want
to
reiterate
the
goal
of
this.
This
bill
brought
by
clark,
county's
compliance.
K
K
I'm
not
familiar
specific
to
mr
korndyk's
case,
but
would
note
that
under
the
proposed
bill
that
as
so
long
as
he
or
any
other
property
is
in
compliance,
there
should
be
no
issue,
I'm
again
unaware
of
the
specifics
of
his
case
and
whether
or
not
there
still
are
pending
liens,
but
there
would
be
no
pending
special
assessments,
as
the
county
does
not
have
that
authority.
K
I
also
want
to
reiterate
that
you
know
right
wrong
or
indifferent.
Currently,
clark
county
has
the
authority
to
legalize
short-term
rentals
under
the
current
statutory
structure
as
they
see
fit,
and
currently
there
is
specific
zoning
in
place
for
those
in
the
hotel
corridor.
So
those
short-term
rentals
operating
outside
of
that
area
are
doing
so
illegally.
K
You
know
I
I
can't
speak
to
how
property
owners
chose
to
either
invest
market
or
purchase
those
properties
and
what
advice
they
may
or
may
not
have
been
given,
but
that
is
a
current
illegal
activity.
K
In
addition,
just
want
to
address
a
quick
point
that
was
brought
forward
by
by
mr
getty
on
the
potentially
affected
mortgages
reaching
into
the
billions
of
dollars.
According
to
the
amendment
that
we
have
submitted
and
have
worked
on
to
narrow
the
categories
as
well
as
to
institute
that
five
thousand
dollar
threshold,
there
are
only
97
properties
over
the
last
three
years.
There
are
not
thousands.
K
K
In
addition,
you
know
I've
worked
at
length
with
the
mortgage
and
and
banking
and
real
estate
industry
to
try
to
come
to
a
solution
and
really
really
think
this
is.
This
is
a
great
compromise.
They,
the
idea
again
is
compliance,
and
by
coming
into
compliance,
any
special
assessment
would
be
extinguished.
We've
asked
for.
K
Opponents
to
to
bring
forward
you
know
any
idea
that
you
know
that
they
they
may
be
using
as
incorporated
cities
are
currently
using
this
power
and
it
seems
to
not
have
an
effect
on
their
industries.
In
fact,
there
wasn't
any
knowledge
that
it
was
happening
prior
to
bringing
this
bill
forward,
so
there
really
doesn't
seem
to
be
an
effect
on
the
industry.
K
K
We
are
asking
for
tools
that
the
county
may
have
or
would
like
to
have
in
order
to
really
bring
properties
into
compliance.
So
with
that,
mr
chairman,
thank
you
again
for
the
the
time
and
the
opportunity
apologize
for
the
lengthy
hearing,
but
would
happen
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
that
the
committee
may
have.
A
L
A
Great
thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
this
morning
and
I
don't
think
we
have
additional
questions,
but
I
would
ask
committee
members
if
you
do
have
questions
after
this
morning's
hearing
to
please
follow
up
offline
again.
We
appreciate
the
three
of
you
being
here
spending
some
time
with
us
this
morning
in
assembly,
judiciary,
and
we
hope
you
have
a
great
rest
of
the
day.
A
I
will
now
close
the
hearing
on
senate
bill
57
that
takes
us
to
our
final
item
on
this
morning's
agenda,
and
that
is
public
comment.
By
way
of
reminder,
we
reserve
up
to
30
minutes
at
the
end
of
each
meeting
for
public
comment.
Public
commenters
will
have
two
minutes
to
provide
public
comment.
Public
comment
is
a
time
to
raise
matters
of
a
general
nature
within
the
jurisdiction
of
the
assembly
judiciary
committee.
It
is
not
a
time
to
provide
additional
testimony
on
bills
that
we
have
already
heard
and
closed.

then
68
to
death
by
washoe
county
sheriff's
office.
Today,
I
would
like
to
talk
about
raphael
olimus
affectionately
known
as
ralphie
to
those
who
love
him.
Ralphie
was
23
years
old
when
he
was
shot
and
killed
july,
14th
2011
by
lvmpd
officers
christopher
grievous
david
hagar
and
joseph
her
hoochin,
who
was
cit
trained
and
who
fired
a
low
lethal
shotgun
at
ralphie
on
7
14
11
at
6
46
a.m.
P
E
P
Illness
she
specifically
told
police
during
the
call-
please
don't
shoot
my
son
at
6
58.
Am
the
officers
arrived
in
the
neighborhood
and
saw
ralphie
walking
towards
him
with
the
knife
and
the
in
his
hand
the
officer
stopped
in
front
approximately
90
yards
from
where
they
first
saw.
Ralphie
ralphie
came
approximately
within
40
feet
of
the
officers
and
hoochin
fired
his
little
lethal
shotgun
four
times
that
hit
his
throat
stomach,
lower
abdomen
and
right,
hip
officer,
grievous
and
hagrid
fired
at
ralphie,
and
he
collapsed
to
the
ground.
P
It
always
troubles
me
in
the
reports
when
they
claim
they
provide
medical
attention
right
away.
They
claim
that
about
my
brother,
yet
cpr
was
never
started
by
deputies
at
all.
The
practice
of
handcuffing
human
beings,
after
being
mortally
wounded
by
police,
has
got
to
end
another
left.
Another
mother
left
to
live
with
regret
that
she
called
the
police
to
help
her
suicidal
son
only
for
lvmpd
to
kill,
raffy
and
other
family
living
the
never
ending
nightmare.
That
is.
P
One
is
killed
by
police
in
the
words
of
ralphie's
sister.
I
miss
you
being
around
ralphie.
I
forget
you
aren't
coming
back
and
sometimes
it
hits
me
really
hard.
I
just
listen
to
your
song
and
it
feels
like
you're
still
there
mama
and
us
we
will
never
be
the
same
without
you.
I
know
I
didn't
say
it
often,
but
I
love
you.
His
mother,
alma
chavez
has
testified
this
legislative
session,
as
I
have
in
hopes
that
no
more
families
have
to
endure
this
heartache
when
law
enforcement
kill
our
loved
ones
without
consequence.
Thank
you.
A
I
O
Thank
you,
wiz
rizard
w-I-z-r-o-u-z-a-r-d,
with
americans
for
prosperity
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
committee.
This
was
well
ran.
I
greatly
appreciate
you
all
giving
each
side
adequate
time
to
express
himself.
I've
been
in
other
committees
where
this
would
not
adhere
to.
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
all
you've
been
great
and
appreciate
you
chair
for
running
this
committee.
Graciously.
A
I
F
Yvette
williams,
y-v-e-t-t-e
w-I-l-l-I-a-m-s,
I'm
calling
right
now
for
public
comment
as
chair
of
the
clark
county
black
caucus.
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
just
acknowledge
you,
chairman,
yeager
and,
and
your
committee
we've
been
watching
diligently
this
legislative
session.
It's
fast-paced,
it's
very
hard
to
really
be
able
to
navigate
and
be
able
to
participate
in
a
normal
in
a
normal
session.
F
F
There
were
a
lot
of
issues
this
past
summer,
around
racial
justice,
and
there
were
promises
made
by
members
of
the
legislature
as
well
as
our
governor
that
issues
around
racial
justice
was
going
to
be
centered
in
this
legislative
session,
and
I
see
that
clearly
in
your
committee
work,
and
so
thank
you
all
each
of
you
for
your
diligence
and
for
the
time
that
you're
spending
your
careful
thought
that
you're
taking,
and
especially
for
your
compassion
and
empathy
when
you
hear
our
stories,
so
thank
you
very
much
for
all
that
you're
doing
and
for
your
public
service
to
nevada.
A
I
A
Thank
you
bps.
I
will
close
a
public
comment,
anything
else
from
committee
members
this
morning.
I
don't
see
anything
else.
I
did
just
want
to
thank
our
public
commenters
for
acknowledging
the
work
of
the
committee,
and
I
wanted
to
say
that
you
know
if
you
like
the
way
that
assembly
judiciary
committee
runs.
I
think
that's
a
testament
to
the
hard
work
that
members
put
in
preparing
for
these
meetings
and,
more
importantly,
the
hard
work
behind
the
scenes
that
our
staff
does
day
in
and
day
out.
A
A
We
do
appreciate
you
in
terms
of
where
we
go
from
here
tomorrow.
We
have
a
meeting
it's
at
nine
o'clock.
We
have
three
bills
on
the
agenda,
we'll
be
talking
about
no
knock
warrants,
solicitation
of
charitable
contributions
and
everyone's
favorite
topic,
another
bill
on
cannabis
and
with
that
committee
we
will
have
processed
all
heard
all
the
senate
judiciary.
Excuse
me
all
the
bills
were
received
from
the
senate
in
this
committee.
A
We
will
have
heard
them
all
by
the
end
of
tomorrow's
meeting
and
I
do
anticipate
we're
going
to
get
more
bills,
either
bills
being
drafted
or
some
coming
out
of
senate
finance.
So
our
work
is
not
yet
done,
but
in
terms
of
next
week's
friday
committee
passage
deadline.
We
are
looking
on
track
for
that.
While
we
were
here
in
the
meeting
today,
we
put
an
agenda
out
for
friday.
Friday
is
going
to
be
a
nine
o'clock
start.
A
But
please
do
let
me
know
if
you
have
any
concerns
with
any
of
the
bills
that
are
listed
on
the
work
session
document
for
friday
and
then
next
week,
we'll
just
sort
of
see
how
things
go
the
end
of
this
week
and
we'll
certainly
have
at
least
one
or
two
work
sessions
next
week
and
we'll
see
if
we
have
any
bills
to
hear
as
well.
So
again,
members
thank
you
for
your
patience
this
morning
and
it
was
a
longer
meeting
than
we've
been
having
more
recently.
But
I
appreciate
your
time
and
attention.
