A
Here,
and
will
you
please
mark
members
a
present
as
they
arrive?
We
know
that
we
have
people
all
over
the
building
right
now,
so
as
they
come
in,
please
mark
them
present
right
now
we're
going
to
take
things
a
little
out
of
order
on
the
agenda
because
we'll
be
losing
more
members,
as
the
session
goes
and
we're
still
waiting
for
our
bill
sponsor
to
arrive
for
our
bill
presentation.
A
So
I
would
like
to
do
a
work
session
and
the
first
one
I
would
like
to
do
would
be
scr13,
and
so
with
that
I
will
turn
it
over
to
our
policy.
Analyst.
A
Oh
you're
right,
sb,
292.,.
C
C
292
requires
ballots
for
a
general
election
to
permit
the
voter
to
vote
in
a
straight
ticket
for
all
candidates
of
one
political
party
in
partisan
races,
and
then
it
provides
a
number
of
other
considerations
for
straight
ticket
voting
and
provides
for
dates
where
these
things
must
be
filed
makes
various
changes
to
the
filling
of
vacancies
for
elective
office
for
the
u.s
senator,
and
provides
that
the
governor
appoint
a
person
whose
same
political
party
of
the
former
senator
measure
provides
that
when
filling
a
vacancy
in
the
opposite
of
a
representative
congress,
a
candidate
for
a
major
political
party
must
be
nominated
in
a
special
primary
election
before
a
special
general
election.
C
In
the
interest
of
time.
I'll
just
go
through
and
say
that
sbe
292
also
repeals
provisions
that
set
forth
requirements
for
the
internal
organization
and
procedures
of
major
political
parties,
including
requirements
for
the
election
of
delegates
to
county
and
state
conventions
in
the
manner
in
which
such
conventions
are
organized.
A
Okay,
I'll
accept
a
motion
from
vice
chair
and
a
second
from
assemblywoman
gonzalez,
any
questions
or
comments
on
the
motion.
A
Okay,
with
that,
I
would
just
like
to
make
one
comment,
and
that
is
just
how
much
that
you
know
just
how
glad
that
that
we're
bringing
this
bill
up
here
in
the
state
of
nevada
and
that
you
know
many
other
states
have
done
it.
So
I'm
excited
to
see
it
here
and
with
the
that
it's
been
presented
here
in
the
you
know
that
we
have
the
opportunity
to
vote
on
it.
A
A
A
A
C
C
It
requires
the
legislative
commission
to
establish
an
interim
committee
consisting
of
three
legislators
from
each
house
to
conduct
a
study
concerning
environmental
justice.
The
committee
must
make
a
report
to
the
2023
legislature
that
includes
recommendations
for
legislation
to
develop
an
environmental
justice
review
process
for
state
and
local
projects
that
are
not
otherwise
covered
by
federal
national
environmental
policy
act.
C
Assemblywoman
peter
submitted
an
amendment
that
does
the
following
makes
technical
changes
and
amends
the
second
resolve
clause
to
add
that
the
process
referenced
in
the
clause
requires
the
proposed
proposed
action
or
review
to
min
to
mitigate
environmental
degradation
and
promote
environmental
justice
principles
and
second,
it
adds
the
concept
of
investments
to
the
gas
gap.

the
bill,
and
the

A
With
that
are
there
any

Members

I
will
take
a

to
amend
and
adopt
okay,
so
I
have
a
move
and
adopt

vice
chair
houdiki
and
a

any
additional

or
comments

the

I
will
take
a
vote
all
those
in
favor.
A
Please
say
I,
I
anyone

nay,
okay,
so
I
see
assemblyman
assemblywoman
dickman
is
opposed,
assemblyman,
matthews,
assemblyman,
macarthur
and
assemblyman
levitt,
and
with
that
the
motion
carries,
and
I
will
assign
the
floor
speech
to
assemblywoman
peters
with
that
I
will
close
the
agenda
item
for
work
session
and
we
will
move
on
to
our
bill
hearing
for
scr
13..
So
again,
leader
count
canazaro
when
you're
ready.
Please
begin
up.
Let
me
say
first,
this
is
scr.
A
13
is
a
measure
that
creates
an
interim
committee
to
conduct
an
reappointment
and
redistricting
commission
in
the
state
of
nevada,
and
it
is
sponsored
by
our
two
leaders,
our
senate
majority
leader
canazarro
and
our
assembly,
speaker
fryerson.
So
with
that
leader
canazarro,
please
proceed.
D
Thank
you,
chair
miller
and
committee
members.
I
am
nicole
cannasaro.
I
represent
senate
district
six
located
in
the
northwest
portion
of
the
las
vegas
valley,
and
I
am
pleased
to
be
here
today
with
you
this
afternoon,
to
introduce
senate
concur
resolution
number
13,
which
creates
an
interim
committee
to
conduct
an
investigation
into
matters
relating
to
reapportionment
and
redistricting
in
nevada
during
the
2019-2020
legislative
interim.
I
was
fortunate
enough
to
sit
on
the
legislature's
committee
to
conduct
an
interim
study
on
the
requirements
for
reapportionment
and
redistricting
in
the
state
of
nevada.
D
Joining
me
on
that
committee
was
your
colleagues
on
this
committee,
speaker,
fryerson
and
assembly
members,
howard,
yi
and
levitt.
As
you
know,
that
study
is
held
every
10
years
in
advance
of
the
redistricting
session
to
help
us
prepare
for
the
redistricting
exercise.
Essentially,
it
helps
us
to
set
the
stage
for
those
redistricting
efforts
in
2021.
D
As
you
are
also
aware,
due
to
delays
in
the
delivery
of
necessary
data
from
the
united
states
census
bureau,
we
were
unable
to
conduct
reapportionment
and
redistricting
during
this
regular
legislative
session.
It
is
because
of
these
delays
and
our
inability
to
tackle
the
redistricting
exercise
during
the
regular
session
that
I
now
bring
to
you
today
senate
concurrent
resolution
number
13..
D
As
stated
in
senate
concurrent
resolution
number
13
every
10
years,
the
nevada
legislature
is
required
to
reapportion
and
redistrict
the
election
districts
for
the
members
of
the
legislature,
the
members
of
the
house,
the
united
states
house
of
representatives
from
the
state
of
nevada
and
the
board
of
regents
of
the
university
of
nevada.
We
also
know
that
the
census
bureau
will
deliver
redistricting
data
to
us
during
the
second
half
of
2021..
D
Fortunately,
we
have
already
made
purchases
of
software
and
mapping
equipment,
and
we
have
staff
lined
up
and
ready
to
go
the
vast
amount
of
census
data
that
we
do
expect
to
receive,
coupled
with
the
need
to
complete
a
portion,
reapportionment
and
redistricting
in
an
expeditious
manner.
After
after
the
receipt
of
the
data,
makes
our
preparations
for
this
process
even
more
critical.
D
So
this
resolution
calls
for
the
creation
of
an
interim
committee
to
investigate
matters
relating
to
re-enforcement
and
redistricting,
in
conjunction
with
the
data
from
the
decennial
census
of
2020..
The
study
committee
must
be
composed
of
at
least
three
members
of
the
assembly
and
at
least
three
members
of
the
senate.
D
The
interim
committee
shall
elect
a
chair
and
a
vice
chair.
The
interim
committee
must
conduct
a
continuing
examination
and
monitoring
of
any
redistricting
systems
established
or
recommended
for
use
by
the
nevada
legislature,
including
the
requirements
for
computer
equipment,
computer
software
and
the
training
of
personnel.
D
They
must
review
the
case
law
concerning
the
planning
for
reapportionment
and
redistricting
in
other
states
review.
The
programs
of
other
states
relating
to
the
planning
for
reapportionment
and
redistricting,
examine
data
from
the
decennial
census
of
2020
and
consider
potential
issues
involving
such
data
that
may
arise
during
the
process
of
reapportionment
and
redistricting.
D
This
final
point
will
give
the
committee
much
needed
flexibility
as
we
approach
the
redistricting
exercise,
chair
miller
and
members
of
the
committee.
I
want
to
again
emphasize
that
I
am
fully
aware
that
we
did
embark
on
a
study
of
redistricting
last
year
and
we
did
make
some
good
recommendations
that
prepared
us
well.
In
the
event,
we
were
able
to
conduct
the
redistricting
exercise
during
this
legislative
session.
D
Unfortunately,
with
those
delays
and
data,
we
were
not
able
to
do
so,
and
now
it
is
time
for
us
to
make
sure
that
we
have
improv
in
place
the
process
that
will
allow
us
to
review
any
of
the
upcoming
issues.
Matters
receive
updates
on
where
we
are
in
our
final
redistricting
preparations
and,
most
importantly,
to
provide
the
opportunity
for
the
public
to
participate
in
advance
of
the
redistricting
exercise.
D
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
So
as
you
state,
I
I
served
on
the
interim
committee,
and
it
was
the
the
divide
between
both
senate
and
assembly.
Members
on
the
committee
and
kind
of
how
it
was
laid
out
was
a
little
different,
and
I
wondered
you
know
it:
how
it's,
how
it's
laid
out
in
the
bill
it
would
be
foreign
to,
and
the
senate
would
have
have
the
have
equal
representation
on
the
committee
versus
the
assembly,
where
it
was
a
little
different,
if
I
recall
last
time
or
during
the
interim
committee.
D
D
We
would
undertake
a
number
of
inquiries
in
the
interim
prior
to
a
redistricting
session,
but
being
that
the
pandemic
has
slowed
our
ability
to
get
that
decennial
census
data.
We
are
now
in
the
position
of
figuring
out.
How
do
we
have
a
conversation
about
redistricting,
where
we
can
include
the
public
in
the
process?
D
As
you
know,
from
being
a
member
of
that
committee,
we
had
a
lot
of
time
and
ability
to
be
able
to
delve
into
some
of
the
meteor
issues
of
revolving
around
our
preparations
for
redistricting.
That
work
has
been
done
and
we
simply
aren't
going
to
throw
that
out
that
data
out
with
the
bathwater,
if
you
will
and
so
we've
and
of
course,
I
think
this
committee,
even
that
I've
been
in
front
of-
has
heard
a
couple
of
bills
that
that
have
allowed
us
to
implement
some
of
those
decisions
from
that
committee.
D
And
so
this
is
obviously
a
much
shorter
time
frame
and
obviously
a
little
bit
of
a
different
exercise.
So
it
is
structured
differently
in
terms
of
the
number
of
members
and
then
and
then
what
that
membership
looks
like,
but
I
think
the
whole
purpose
of
it
is
that
we
wanted
to
make
sure
there
was
some
sort
of
interim
vehicle
in
order
to
facilitate
that
public
participation
and
to
make
sure
that
we
could
process
all
of
that
data
and
have
good
conversations
around
it.
D
A
Time,
good
members,
any
additional
questions.
A
Wow
not
seen
any
questions
we
can
move
into
testimony
for
support.
I
will
take
up
to
20
minutes
of
testimony
for
support.
We
will
alternate
between
those
that
are
physically
here
in
the
room,
those
on
zoom
and,
of
course,
those
on
the
telephone.
Everyone
will
have
up
to
two
minutes
to
present
so
with
that,
please,
if
you're
in
the
room
and
would
like
to
testify
in
support
of
scr13.
F
Good
afternoon
chairwoman,
miller
and
committee
members
for
the
record,
my
name
is
emily:
prasad
zamora,
that's
e-m-I-l-y,
p-e-r-s-a-u-d,
hyphen
z-a-m-o-r-a
and
I'm
the
executive
director
of
silver
state
voices,
testifying
on
behalf
of
the
nevadans
count
coalition.
I
stand
in
support
of
scr13
because
it
would
create
an
interim
committee
to
investigate
reapportionment
and
redistricting.
F
Specifically,
this
bill
will
help
to
ensure
that
everyday
nevadans
can
participate
in
the
redistricting
process.
Last
year,
nevadans
count
worked
with
various
black
indigenous
people
of
color
communities
and
hard
to
count
communities
to
ensure
a
more
accurate
census
count.
We
sent
over
66
thousand
text
messages
and
made
over
a
hundred
thousand
calls
and
purchased
mobile
truck
ads
with
census,
related
information
for
routes
tailored
to
areas
with
census
response
rates
of
below
50
percent.
After
the
2020
census.
F
We
shifted
our
outreach
and
advocacy
to
redistricting,
since
we
believe
it
is
vital
to
our
democracy,
because
it
helps
reflect
how
our
population
has
changed
over
the
past
10
years.
When
talking
about
redistricting,
we
often
hear
the
term
fair
maps,
but
apart
from
being
used
in
tandem
with
gerrymandering,
this
term
is
seldom
defined.
To
have
fear
maps
is
to
have
a
transparent
and
transparent
redistricting
process
with
meaningful
public
input
during
the
last
redistricting
cycle,
our
legislature
did
a
good
job
with
both
during
the
required
public
hearings
in
both
rural
and
urban
areas.
F
Nearly
all
residents
praised
the
redistricting
committee
for
its
transparency
and
a
commitment
to
hear
nevadans
in
2014.
The
washington
post
published
an
article
where
it
stated
that
nevada
and
indiana
stood
out
as
the
states
that
did
a
remarkably
good
job
of
drawing
a
sensible
district
scr
13
helps
ensure
the
redistricting
process
is
done
in
a
fair,
efficient
and
transparent
manner.
Thank
you
to
senate
majority
leader
ken
azaro
and
speaker
ryerson
for
bringing
this
bill
forward,
and
I
urge
the
committee
to
support
this
bill.
Thank
you.
A
B
Madam
chair
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record,
my
name
is
annette
magnus
and
I'm
the
executive
director
of
battleborn
progress.
We
thank
the
senate
majority
leader
for
her
presentation
and
we
thank
her
and
the
speaker
for
this
important
bill.
This
is
the
second
time
today,
we've
gotten
to
support
a
fantastic
bill
that
senator
canazzaro
presented.
We
are
in
support
of
scr13
because
it
will
bring
transparency
to
the
redistricting
process
and
because
it
will
examine
and
recommend
procedures
up
for
how
members
of
the
public
are
involved
in
the
process
to
the
greatest
extent
possible.
B
G
Thank
you
chair
and
members
of
committee.
My
name
is
eric:
jang
e-r-I-c-j-e-n-g,
representing
asian
community
development
council,
the
asian

islander
community
here
in
nevada,
is
the
fastest
growing
minority
and
we
have
been
in
the
voter
share,
also
grow.
We
saw
that
for
the
nevada
state
legislature,
representation
went
from
zero
to
five
for
our
asian
pacific
islander
in
the
last
10
years.
We
are
very
excited,
as
a
non-profit
organization
to
push
for
census
did
a
30
000
door
hangers
for
the
census.

A
A
Thank
you
can
I
will
open
the
testimonies
up
for
anyone
who
would
like
to
testify
in
neutral.
So
if
there's
anyone
in
the
room
that
would
like
to
testify
in
neutral
to
scr13,
also
broadcasting
is
there
anyone
on
the
line
that
would
like
to
testify
in
neutral
for
scr13.
A
Okay,
thank
you
so
much
and
with
that
I
will
close
the
testimony
on
scr13
senate
majority
leader.
Would
you
do
you
have
any
final
remarks?
Okay,
see
no
final
remarks.
I
will
go
ahead
and
close
the
hearing
on
scr
13
and
I
would
like
to
open
a
work
session
on
scr
13.,
so
I
will
give
our
policy
analyst
a
moment
to,
but
of
course
mr
sturm
was
prepared
so
with
that
mr
sturm.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair
pepper,
sturm
committee
policy,
analyst
we're
hearing
in
work
session
scr
13,
which
creates
an
interim
committee
to
investigate
matters
relating
to
reapportionment
and
redistricting
in
conjunction
with
the
data
from
the
decennial
census
of
2020.
The

chair.
A
A
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Although
I
I
did
think
that
the
the
interim
committee
was
was
great
and
effective
and,
and
we
accomplished
a
lot,
I
just
have
a
little
issue
with
the
the
breakdown
of
how
it's
how
it's
laid
out.
I
I
think
it.
I
think
you
should
more
reflect
what
the
body
sits
at
at
this
moment,
so
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna,
be
voting
no
on
it.
A
Okay,
not
seen
any,
I
will
take
a
vote
all
those
in
favor
of
scr13,
please
say
aye.
Anyone
opposed
okay,
please
raise.
Thank
you.
Please
raise
your
hand,
so
we
have
a
nay
from
assemblywoman
dickman,
assemblyman,
matthews,
assemblyman,
macarthur
and
assemblyman
levitt,
and
with
that
the
motion
passes,
I
will
now
close
the
work
session
on
scr
13..
A
I
do
understand
that
there
may
be
a
few
members
that
need
to
leave
for
for
for
everything
else.
That's
going
right
now
so
and
then
that's
code
to
our
our
senate
majority
leader
and
speaker.
So.
A
A
Thank
you,
speaker,
yeah,
okay,
so
right
so
with
that,
the
last
thing
we
have
ahead
of
us
is
actually
public
comment,
so
broadcasting
by
assemblywoman.
Thank
you
broadcasting.
Do
we
have
anyone
on
the
line
that
would
like
to
make
public
comment
as
well
as
hear
anyone
in
the
room
that
would
like
to
make
public
comment
to
anything
that
is
within
the
purview
of
this
committee.
You
may
approach
everyone
will
have
two.
B
A
Okay,
so
it
sounded
like
we
might
have
some
little
ones
that
had
something
to
say,
but
thank
you
for
that.
Okay,
not
seeing
anyone
for
public
comment
again
we're
at
the
point
in
session,
where
I
cannot
guarantee
anything
or
any
schedule.
What
I
can
say
is
just
please
we
will
let
you
know
everything
is
pretty
much
call
of
the
chair
right
now.
A
So
if,
for
any
reason
that
we're
coming
back
in,
I
will
say
we
will
not
have
any
more
biz
well,
I
probably
shouldn't
even
promise
that,
but
I
believe
we
won't
have
any
more
business
today,
but
if
we
come
back
into,
if
we
have
any
other
committee's
hearings
scheduled,
then
I
will
let
you
know
as
soon
as
possible
and
so
not
seeing
any
other
business
before
us.
This
meeting
is
adjourned.
A
A
Of
course
we
have
our
our
wonderful
committee
staff,
we
have
bonnie
and
tracy,
and
kathleen
and
pepper
who
joined
us
in
the
middle
of
session
and
and
did
such
a
great
job
jumping
in
under
such
circumstances
and
kathleen
and
trinity
and
jordan
who
isn't
here
today.
So
we
have
little
gifts
for
miss
bonnie
and
mr
pepper
and
miss
kathleen,
and
also
would
like
to
thank
everyone
from
broadcasting
and
because
again,
broadcasting
has
just
of
course
gone
above
and
beyond,
starting
even
an
interim.
A
So
thank
you
for
everything
that
you've
done
for
us
to
to
keep
this
to
keep
us
all
functioning
and
everything,
and
just
to
let
you
know
how
much
we
appreciate
all
your
hard
work,
all
your
long
hours,
all
your
institutional
knowledge
and
advisement,
and
so
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
from
the
committee
for
us
and
with
that
we
are
again
now
well,
we
don't
have
to
adjourn
so
all
right.
Thank
you.
