Here
and
please
mark
assemblyman,
macarthur
absent
excused
I'd
like
to
welcome
everyone
viewing
online
and
those
participating
by
phone
and
video
and
as
just
a
reminder,
anyone
wishing
to
testify
may
do
so
by
registering
on
the
agenda.
There
is
a
link
that
you
can
apply
to
once
you
register
on
that
link.
A
So
please
don't
take
that
as
a
form
of
inattention
or
anything
else,
but
there's
a
lot
that
everyone
is
managing
in
our
electronic
world
right
now,
we
will
have
up
to
30
minutes
of
public
comment
at
the
end
of
the
hearing,
at
which
point
everyone
will
be
allotted
two
minutes
per
speaker
committee
members.
Just
a
reminder.
Please
leave
your
cameras
on
and,
of
course,
everyone
will
mute,
their
their
volume
or
anything
else.
That
could
be
a
distraction
in
the
middle
of
the
hearing
committee
members.
A
A
It
revises
provisions
relating
to
the
training
of
newly
elected
legislators
and
it
will
be
presented
by
deputy
director
vincent
guthrie
with
that
deputy
director,
when
you
are
ready
to
begin.
F
Thank
you,
chairwoman
miller,
members
of
the
assembly
committee
on
legislative
operations
and
elections
for
the
record.
My
name
is
vincent
guthro.
I
serve
as
the
deputy
director
of
the
nevada
association
of
counties.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
assembly
bill
1
on
behalf
of
naco,
whose
members
are
all
of
nevada's
17
counties.
F
Currently,
all
new
legislators
are
required
to
take
new
legislator
training,
which
is
administered
by
the
legislative
council
bureau
assembly
bill
1
proposes,
in
addition
to
that
curriculum.
That's
currently
outlined
in
nrs
218
218.285,
because
nevada
is
what
is
called
the
dylan's
rule
state.
The
legislature
through
nrs,
dictates
much
of
what
local
governments
are
able
to
do,
and
many
of
the
policy
changes
and
budget
decisions
that
each
of
you
will
work
on
throughout
your
time.
As
legislators
will
impact
local
governments.
F
This
legislation
would
ensure
that
legislators
are
provided
training
on
the
structure,
scope
and
responsibilities
of
local
government.
I
took
the
liberty
of
providing
the
committee
through
your
committee
manager,
a
list
of
state
and
county
service
providers.
That's
been
color-coded
to
denote
services
that
are
provided
by
the
state
and
which
ones
are
provided
by
counties
and
then
services
that
we
partner
on.
I
just
thought
that
would
be
helpful
for
committee
members
to
understand
the
breadth
of
services
that
are
provided
by
local
government
and
also
madam
chair.
F
G
Hospital
workers,
ems
responders
contract,
tracers
and
human
services
providers
are
some
of
the
frontline
heroes
of
the
coba
19
response
and
in
nevada.
Many
of
them
are
county
employees,
counties
matter
and
they
serve
every
nevadan
every
day
during
covet.
19
nevada's
counties
are
a
critical
part
of
the
public
health
response,
supporting
health
districts,
providing
regional
emergency
services
and
preparing
quarantine
and
isolation
beds.
Counties
are
the
provider
of
the
local
social
safety
net
nevadans
most
in
need
rely
on
counties
to
provide
child
protective
services,
meals
to
those
in
need,
and
services
to
the
homeless
and
seniors.
G
Nevada's
counties
are
responsible
for
providing
over
20
percent
of
the
state's
medicaid
budget
and
support
public
hospitals
throughout
the
state
counties.
Do
all
this
in
addition
to
providing
the
everyday
municipal
and
regional
services
that
nevadans
depend
on
like
roads,
parks,
water
and
sewer
systems,
community,
centers,
libraries
and
county
airports
counties
also
administer
elections,
helping
to
ensure
one
of
our
most
sacred
democratic
rights,
nevada's
counties
matter
and
in
difficult
economic
times.
County
services
are
more
important
than
ever
and
more
in
demand.
We
thank
the
nearly
23
000
nevadans
that
are
county
employees.
F
Nevada.
Okay,
thank
you
for
indulging
me
on
that.
I
think
part
of
the
reason
why
we
produced
that
video
and
put
that
together
is
to
also
thank
the
county
employees
that
you've
all
sort
of
come
to
know
here,
especially
during
covert
times
so
just
continuing
on
nevada
has
a
as
a
diverse
and
unique
citizen
legislature
and
most
of
the
most
of
the
members
of
this
body
do
not
come
up
through
local
government
as
they
do
in
other
states.
F
This
legislation
would
become
effective
july,
1,
2022
and
in
advance
of
the
2023
session
of
nevada
legislature.
It's
a
really
it's
a
pretty
simple
update.
So
thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
indulging
me,
but
I
I'm
available
to
take
questions,
but
also,
if
it's
all
right
with
with
you,
we
would
we
have
wesley
harper
is
also
he's
the
executive
director
of
the
nevada
league
of
cities
and
municipalities.
He
joined
the
zoom
and
is
supporting
this
legislation,
and
it
might
be
helpful
for
him
to
share
his
perspective
on
the
bill.
D
A
Mr
harper
is
this
part
of
the
bill
presentation,
or
is
this
a
testimony
on
your
position
on
the
bill.
A
A
Committee.
Okay,
thank
you.
Let's
begin
with
questions,
I
see
we
have
a
question
from
assemblyman
lovett.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
So
as
much
as
I
love
presentations,
mr
guthro
will
this:
will
this
eliminate
the
need
for
the
presentations
that
we
endlessly
receive
on
the
first
two
weeks
of
session
on
this
very
subject
or
is,
or
is
this
on
top
of
that?
So
I
guess
basically,
what
I'm
asking
is.
Is
this
going
to
cause
or
is
this
going
to?
F
Through
you,
madam
chair
to
assemblyman
levitt,
this
is
vincent
guthro
for
the
record.
You
might.
F
I
I
will
say
that
those
presentations
tend
to
be
sort
of
a
sort
of
a
10,
000
foot
view,
and
I
think
this
would
be
more
sort
of
in-depth
training
on
some
more
some
pretty
specific
items,
but
I
I
would
leave
that
up
to
lcb,
I
think
to
administer
the
bill,
calls
for
that
for
them
to
administer
that
through
the
new
legislator,
training,
as
far
as
I
can
tell,
it
would
be
up
to
the
committee
to
decide
how
they
want
to
structure
their
presentations.
F
H
Thank
you,
yeah.
Just
just
clarification,
you
know.
The
only
other
question
I
have
was
in
its
maybe
a
lcb
or
or
or
staff
question
is
is:
is
this
presentation
structure
going
to
add
a
substantial
amount
of
time
to
the
new
the
new
member
orientation
like?
Is
it
going
to
add
a
whole
day
to
this
new
member
orientation,
or
is
it
just
going
to
be
worked
into
the
existing
timeline?
How
will
that
work,
and
that's
maybe
a
question
for
staff,
I'm
not
sure.
B
B
So
the
only
requirement
in
statute
is
that
the
training
cannot
exceed
10
days.
So
that's
really
the
only
time
frame
set
out
in
statute
how
staff
would
choose
to
get
all
of
the
requirements
within
that
day.
10
days
is
up
to
the
staff
to
provide
the
answer
to
that.
H
I
guess
the
premises
is
is
is
orientation.
I
think
mine
was
two
days
maybe
and
if
and
I
know
that
that
we
allocate
funds
to
le
to
the
newly
elected
legislators
for
attending,
and
so
if
we
added
a
day
that
might
add
to
that
allocation-
and
that
was
that
was
my
only
my
only
thought
is
that
if
we
add
another
day
then
we
add
another
another
another
day
where
we're
spending
taxpayer
money
to
train
legislators
and.
H
A
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
feel
compelled
to
make
sure
the
record
was
was
clear
about
about
this.
This
isn't.
Obviously
this
is
an
ankle
bill,
but
oh
yeah,
but
the
the
presentations
that
we
get
in
the
assembly
are
for
the
entire
committee.
I
This
is
dealing
with
newly
elected
legislators,
and
so,
if
you've
been
in
the
assembly
for
eight
years,
I
I
doubt
you're
going
to
remember
your
freshman
training,
and
so
the
committees
have
presentations
to
refresh
you
know
for
legislators
that
you
know
haven't
in
a
long
time
or
to
go
deeper
in
in
depth,
whereas
we're
talking
about
just
new
legislators,
and
so
the
first
part
of
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
weren't
kind
of
confusing
the
public
about
whether
or
not
we
all
have
to
do
this
and
then
also
have
a
presentation
during
session
that
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong.
I
I
just
want
to
make
sure,
because
I
don't
I
don't-
want
the
public
under
the
false
impression
that
we're
just
kind
of
proposing
to
carelessly
duplicate
efforts.
I
I
my
experience
has
been
that
the
presentations
are
much
more
in
depth
than
what
brand
new
legislators
get
one
time
when
they
first
get
elected.
A
F
A
And
and
mr
guthro,
is
it
true
that
the
training
that
you
you
desire
is
more
so
on
the
actual
structure
you
know?
According
to
the
bill,
it
looks
like
the
actual
structure
of
county
government,
and
so
often
those
presentations
that
we
do
see
in
the
maybe
the
first
week
of
you
know
during
our
committees
are
more
about
our
issue
based,
and
this
would
be
actually
the
actual
structure
and
the
way
the
counties
are
set
up.
A
It
also,
the
bill
discusses
funding,
how
funding
actually
flows
through,
as
well
as
as
the
different
services
that
the
county
governments
actually
provide,
is.
Is
that
more
accurate.
F
Vincent
guthro
for
the
record,
that's
correct
and
obviously
we
haven't
developed
any
specific
curriculum,
but
that's
the
structure
of
what
the
curriculum
would
look
like
sure,
so
yeah
that
you're
accurate
in
that.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
We
have
another
question
from
assemblywoman
dickman
thank.
B
You,
madam
chair,
my
question
is:
I
am,
as
I
understand
that
lcb
puts
these
trainings
together,
but
I
was
wondering
if
there's
been
any
any
discussions
about
who
would
be
actually
doing
the
training.
What
else
would
be
do
the
training
or
would
you
have
someone
from
outside,
like
maybe
someone
from
naco?
Do
the
training.
F
Assemblywoman
dickman:
this
is
vincent
guthro
for
the
record,
so
the
way
the
bill
is
written
is
that
you
know
this.
This
is
lcb's
training
to
new
legislators,
so
we
don't
want
to
sort
of.
F
F
If
lcb
asks
we
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
sort
of
an
appropriate
chain
there
where
lcb
administers
this
and
if
they,
if
they
would
like
our
assistance
or
it
makes
sense
for
them,
and
we
would
certainly
offer
that
so
you're
on
the
right
track
there
of
what
we're
thinking
as
well
and
so,
but
we
we
will
leave
that
up
to
lcb
to
make
that
to
make
that
ask
of
us.
F
Yes,
assemblywoman
dickman.
This
is
vincent
guthrie
for
the
record
correct.
We
wouldn't
charge
lcb
for
that
time
or
anything.
A
Okay,
with
that,
we
will
move
into
hear
testimony
in
support
of
assembly
bill
1
as
written
again,
please
on
your
microphone
and
state.
Your
first
and
last
name
for
the
record.
Everyone's
testimony
will
be
allowed
up
to
two
minutes
with
that.
I
believe
we
do
have
our
first
person
who
would
like
to
provide
testimony
before
we
move
on
to
anyone
that
may
be
on
the
phone
lines,
and
so
with
that
mr
harper.
Please.
D
D
We
appreciate
that
you
allowed
this
bill
to
afford
and
for
us
to
provide
testimony.
We
thank
mako
for
bringing
this
bill.
The
league
is
in
full
support
of
naco's
bill
submission.
We
think
that
the
proposed
legislation
provides
a
thoughtful
orientation
with
newly
elected
legislators
that
may
not
be
fully
familiar
with
the
functions
and
responsibilities
of
local
governments,
so
it
is
the
league's
position
that
this
will
encourage
and
enable
and
more
this
will
encourage
and
enable
more
effective
cooperation,
mutual
understanding,
sound
governing
between
state
and
local
lawmakers.
A
J
J
J
J
C
C
Much
of
the
legislation
passed
by
the
legislature
becomes
enacted
or
enforced
by
local
government,
and,
while
many
local
governments
do
present
to
assembly
government
affairs
committee
and
sometimes
the
senate,
and
while
other
committees
may
hear
some
from
some
of
our
departments
that
they
expect
to
see
more
frequently,
we
believe
an
understanding
of
all
of
our
roles
would
be
very
valuable
to
all
legislators
who
serve
on
the
multitude
of
committees
for
which
we
all
have
to
work
together.
It
is
for
that
reason.
J
J

our
strong
support
for
this
bill,
thank
nanko
for
bringing
the
bill.
Thank
the
committee
for
hearing
the
bill.
As
stated
previously.
We
think
that
this
is
an
important
topic
for
legislators
to
understand
the
the
workings
of
local
governments
and
and
the
different
services
provided
by
different
types
of
local
governments.
So
again
we're
in
support
of
this
bill,
and-
and
thank
you
for
the
chance
to
testify.

I

that
naco
has
put
forward.
Training
of
new
legislators.
Just
like
training
for
new
employees
in
any
organization
is
an
important
essential
step
to
ensure
a
beneficial
and
robust
understanding
of
the
new
venture
they
are
undertaking
at
clark
county.
We
provide
training
not
only
to
our
new

but
for
our
newly
elected
county
commissioners.
E

We
provide
to
our
constituents,
rule
the
county,
manager's
office,
governance
structure,
fiscal
framework,
which
includes
our
contributions
to

support
of
university

how
we
interact

prior

session,
an
update
about
the

issues
that
may
be
of
interest.
We
see
the
benefits
our
training
has
on
these
new
employees
and
county
elected
officials
and
urge
your
support
of
this
bill
and
the
educational
opportunity
for
newly

stephen
with
a
v
cohen,
as
in

woman,
but
known
relation
that
we're
familiar
with.
I
just
wanted
to
address
one
issue
briefly,
which
may
already
be
addressed,
but
with
developmental
disabilities
awareness
month
about
two
weeks
away
or
less.
I
just
would
like
to
see
potentially
incorporated
into
the
existing
