I
am
here,
thank
you
very
much.
Please
mark
the
members
present
as
they
arrive.
We
are
doing
a
lot
of
work
between
the
second
and
the
third
floor.
So,
and
so
here
we
go
so
with
that.
Just
to
give
everyone
sort
of
what
the
goal
is
for
this
morning
is
we
have
the
governor's
office
here
for
sb
424,
we'll
be
calling
them
up.
B

E
E
As
many
of
you
know,
kovitt
has
pres
exposed
so
many
of
our
state's
strengths
and
weaknesses,
and
while
we
have
demonstrated
a
ability
to
respond
to
a
public
health
crisis
of
significant
magnitude,
we've
also
done
it
with
a
very
frail
and,
in
some
cases
non-existent.
Essential
public
health
infrastructure
senate
bill
424.
With
the
amendments
create
a
public
health
resource
office
in
the
governor's
office
to
analyze
the
existing
infrastructure
for
meeting
nevada's
public
health
needs.
It
also
adds
a
position
in
the
office
of
minority
health
and
equity
in
the
department
of
health
and
human
services.
E
That
person
will
be
responsible
for
researching
and
making
policy
recommendations
to
the
public
health
resource
officer
on
strategies
to
address
disparate
health
outcomes
in
the
communities
of
black,
indigenous
and
other
people
of
color
that
result
in
systemic
racism
and
structural
structures
of
racial
discrimination,
as
well
as
health
outcomes
for
rural
communities
and
other
underserved
communities.
The
office
will
analyze
the
relationship
between
the
people
and
the
entities
involved
in
the
provisions
of
public
health
services,
including
local
health
authorities,
provider
of
health
care,
health
care
facilities
and
non-profit
organizations.
E
The
fiscal
appropriation
for
this
bill
is
one
thousand
seventy
six
dollars
and
seventy
nine
or
seventy
one
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
so
that
one
hundred
seventy
six
thousand
seventy
nine
dollars
in
fiscal
year,
twenty
one
twenty
two
and
then
two
hundred
and
twenty
two
thousand
seven
hundred
and
ninety
nine
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
Twenty
two
and
twenty
three
that
will
fund
two
non-classified
employees
in
the
governor's
public
health
resource
office,
there's
also
an
appropriation
for
seventy
six
thousand
and
sixty
two
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
E
B
Dr
titus,
I
was
waiting
for
you
to
pipe
up,
I'm
just
giving
you
that
moment.
I.
F
Apologize,
I
didn't
have
my
hand
up
quick
enough.
I
apologize.
Oh
no.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
man
for
bringing
this
bill
forward
just
a
question
regarding
them.
The
duties
of
this
particular
person
this
resource
officer.
Are
they
going
to
be
one
of
the
one
of
the
goals?
F
E
I
think
you've
might
very
much
through
you,
madam
chair
to
assemblywoman
titus
heather
corbin
for
the
record,
so
the
the
goal
of
this
position
is
to
identify
grant
resource
and
opportunities
across
the
country
to
bring
to
the
state
and
then
that
office
would
be
responsible
for
working
with
whatever
entity,
whether
it
was
division
of
public
behavioral
health
to
obtain
those
grants.
E
Madam
chair,
through
you
to
the
assemblywoman
titus
heather
corby,
look
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
that
question
very
important.
The
bill
does
specify
that
the
office
of
public
or
the
public
health
resource
office
will
report
back
to
the
governor
and
the
legislature
on
any
of
their
findings
or
recommendations.
B
G
Thank
you,
ma'am
sharon,
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation
this
morning
just
to
follow
up
on
assemblywoman.
Dr
titus's
question
is
what
I'm
sure
you've
done.
Some
analyst,
you
know
analysis
I
mean.
Let
me
say
I
can't
talk
either
and
do
you
think
what
do
you,
if
you
estimated
what
your
return
on
investment
might
be?
G
Is
there
a
number
of
things
that
are
out
there
that
we
believe
that
we're
missing
out
on
because
we
don't
have
this
this
office
is,
do
you
think
there's
going
to
be
some
kind
of
return
for
this
investment.
E
Thank
you
for
the
question,
madam
chair,
through
you
to
assemblyman
roberts,
heather
corbin
for
the
record,
I
think
that's
a
great
question.
The
pandemic
has
ex
has
highlighted
some
unmet
needs
throughout
our
state
and
investments
in
public
health.
While
we
were
able
to
respond
to
this
crisis,
we
did
it
with
a
really
scrappy
bunch
that
are
totally
burned
out
and
ready
for
a
rest.
G
Thank
you
for
thank
you
for
the
answer
you
have.
I
I
believe
in
looking
for
opportunities
to
obtain
more
federal
funding
or
or
other
private
funding.
You
know
and
just
want
to
make
sure
that
this
investment,
actually
you
know,
triples
or
or
quadruples
the
return
that
we're
spending.
So
so.
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
it.
B
B
H
E
H
Thanks
so
much
so
does
that
mean,
like
a
master's
degree
in
public
health,
because
I
I
remember
like
being
in
like
social
work,
school
and
you're
like
a
social
worker,
but
I
remember
that,
like
with
my
friends
who
were
at
public
health
at
the
university
of
michigan,
they'd
be
like
well
we're
public
healthers.
But,
like
you,
you
know
what
I
mean
so
like.
Are
you
looking
for
a
public
healther.
E
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Can
I
go
direct
mountain
chair?
Is
that,
okay
with
you
thank
you
so
of
heather
corbin
for
the
record,
I
think
if
we
limit
just
to
master's
degree,
we
may
find
ourselves
in
a
position
that
we
are
leaving
out
other
individuals
who
might
have
very
specific
or
or
wide
births
of
information
or
knowledge
and
skill
sets.
So
I
think
we're
really
looking
for
someone
who
has
a
systematic
approach
and
understands
healthcare
systems
in
nevada,
specifically.
H
Okay,
thank
you
so
much
so
in
the
I
think
it's
a
section
1.6
and
are
these
the
numbers
in
fiscal
year
one
and
two:
this
is
the
the
the
salary
the
benefit
and
then
all
of
the
associated
costs
that
come
along
with
setting
up
the
office.
So
this
is
a
kind
of
a
package
number
that
we're
we're.
E
Seeing
heather
corbin
for
the
record,
that
is
correct,
that
is,
includes,
set
up
and
some
travel
for
those
individuals
and
their
salaries.
B
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and,
and
thank
you
for
bringing
this
forward.
I
know
this.
Last
year
we've
really
had
some
some
struggles,
and
so
I
hope
that
this
will
address
that,
and
specifically
in
addressing
that
under
section
1.5
d,
I
just
want
to
ensure
I
know
we
struggled
with
reaching
out
to
the
communities
that
english
wasn't
their
first
language,
so
I
just
want
it
doesn't
really
say
that
in
there,
but
I
think
it's
implying
it.
I
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
the
intent
the
legislative
intents
on
the
record
that
that
is
the
intent
here
is
that
you
know
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
we're
not
leaving
anyone
behind.
E
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
And
with
that,
I
believe
we
can
go
ahead
and
go
back
to
the
hearings
that
we
owe
folks
so
we'll
go
ahead
and
go
to
274.
First.
B
B
A
So
sb274
I
needed
to
take
just
a
brief
bit
of
history-
is
important
on
this
bill,
so
in
2019
in
the
2019
legislative
session-
and
many
of
you
will
remember
this
because
you
were
here-
we
had
another
bill,
sb
293
and
what
sb
293
did
was
we
recognized
an
issue
that
many
of
us
wanted
to
address,
and
that
is
right
now
too
many
of
our
children,
victims
of
sex
trafficking.
So
we're
talking
about
people
under
the
age
of
18
who
have
been
sex
commercially
sexually
exploited.
A
The
acronym
is
csec
if
I
fall
into
the
ackerman
acronym
end
up
in
the
juvenile
justice
system
treated
as
offenders,
rather
than
ending
up
in
the
welfare
system
treated
as
victims.
Who
can
then
go
on
to
be
survivors,
and
that
was
not
something
that
I
think
many
of
us
were
comfortable
with
and
not
necessarily
serving
those
children
in
the
best
way
possible.
A
So
I
came
forward,
probably
relatively
naively,
with
a
bill
that
said:
we're
just
not
going
to
do
that
anymore.
We're
going
to
get
them
out
of
the
juvenile
justice
system,
we're
going
to
put
them
in
the
welfare
system
going
gonna
be
great
and
it
would
have
been
wonderful
if
we
could
have
just
flipped
a
switch
and
that
that's
how
it
would
work.
But
the
truth
of
the
matter
is
the
needs
of
this.
Particular
population
are
incredibly
complex.
A
So
that
was
the
choice
that
they
had
and
given
that
I
understand
why.
That
is
the
choice
that
we
have
made
for
a
lot
of
time.
So
what
we
did
in
2019
was
we
put
a
line
in
the
sand,
and
we
said
that
by
two
years
from
now,
we
are
no
longer
going
to
do
this.
We
provided
the
division
of
child
and
family
services
with
a
contractor
to
facilitate
a
working
group
and
to
bring
forward
some
better
solutions,
and
so
that
group
worked
through
the
interim.
A
A
It's
a
lot
of
money
per
child,
and
this
is
the
money
committee,
and
we
have
to
be
serious
about
addressing
that.
And
so
we
left
2019
with
a
pretty
significant
unfunded
mandate
for
the
local
governments.
We've
been
doing
a
lot
of
work
with
washoe,
county
and
clark
county
and
a
lot
of
the
work
that
has
happened.
This
session
has
been
to
rework
this
language
so
that
we
can
make
better
access
of
some
federal
funds
so
that
everybody
would
be
more
comfortable
that
they
had
some
options.
A
So
maybe
it's
a
receiving
center,
maybe
there's
an
alternative
placement
that
does
work
for
that
child,
and
so
that
is
basically
there's
a
lot
more
technical
into
this,
like
I
said,
I'd
like
to
start
ways
and
means
in
the
morning
with
some
complex
health
and
human
services
policy.
So
there's
a
lot
more
to
this,
but
the
bottom
line
is
this:
bill
extends
the
the
timeline
one
more
year,
so
by
2023
we
will
no
longer
be
putting
these
children
into
the
juvenile
justice
system.
A
It
gives
the
counties
more
flexibility
and
time
it
gives
them
the
right
language
that
they
need
to
be
able
to
bring
down
federal
funds
and
there's
a
small
fiscal
note
for
the
state.
It's
a
it's
one
contracted
position
still
in
the
division
of
child
and
family
services,
to
be
able
to
continue
to
do
the
facilitation
and
the
stakeholder
conversations
that
are
necessary
to
continue
to
move
us
forward
on
what
is
going
to
affect.
A
Hopefully,
not
a
large
number
of
children,
but
for
the
children
that
are
impacted
will
make
a
world
of
difference
and
again
lots
of
credit
to
all
the
stakeholders,
from
juvenile
justice
to
courts,
to
non-profits,
to
counties
to
our
own
folks
at
division
of
child
and
family
services,
who
have
put
a
lot
of
time
and
energy
made
this
a
labor
of
love
to
make
sure
that
we
do
right
by
these
children,
and
with
that,
I
think
it's
just
best
that
I
open
it
for
questions
and
I
do
have
from
the
agency
miss
roos
and
then
bailey
borderlin
is
hopping
in
and
out
from
legal
aid,
because
she
is
also
in
senate
finance.
I
A
Thank
you
for
the
question
through
you,
madam
chair
to
you,
assemblyman.
Yes,
yes
and
yes,
a
big
piece
of
this,
so
they
are
they're,
saints
and
heroes,
and
this
is
really
giving
those
entities
another
tool.
And
so
what
this
allows
is
for
agencies
to
get
certified
as
a
receiving
center
and
then
that
receiving
center
gives
them
some
different
tools
in
the
toolkit,
including
the
ability
to
have
a
locked
setting.
C
Please
and
bailey
borderline
for
the
record
to
add
to
that.
All
of
those
entities
were
absolutely
part
of
this
working
group
and
we
have
been
working
with
all
of
the
stakeholders
involved
and
I
think
there
is
a
true
consensus
that
we
just
don't
have
the
tools
that
we
need
yet
to
be
able
to
handle
this
specialized
population
in
the
way
that's
most
appropriate.
And
so,
when
we
talk
about
things
like
childhaven.
C
Without
this,
they
are
really
in
a
real
catch-22
of.
If
you
bring
in
this
specific
population,
there's
often
a
recruiting
risk
to
the
other
kids
that
are
in
the
home,
and
that
often
leads
to
our
current
reliance
on
the
juvenile
detention
system,
and
so
that's
a
huge
factor
as
to
how
we've
gotten
to
where
we
are,
and
so
they
are
definitely
working
with
us
towards
this
solution
to
be
able
to
serve
these
kids
better.
K
K
We
can't
fully
fund
it
in
this
session,
but
I
do
hope
that
keeping
this
moving
forward
towards
the
goal
of
getting
it
fully
funded
is
is
a
good
one,
and
I
sorry
just
more
of
a
comment
than
a
question
so
I'll
add
per
the
chair's
advice
right,
correct.
A
Correct,
thank
you,
assemblywoman,
correct
and-
and
I
would
add
one
thing
it's
some
of
it
is
about
more
dollars
and-
and
I
don't
want
to
be
insensitive
to
the
needs
of
the
county,
because
some
of
it
is
absolutely
about
more
dollars.
Some
of
it
is
about
shifting
existing
resources
into
a
new
model,
and
that's
what
that's
where
we
really
need
the
time.
So
it's.
How
do
we
use
the
title
4b
dollars
from
the
federal
government?
A
How
do
we
are
there
any
savings
that
are
coming
from
not
having
these
children
in
the
juvenile
justice
system
and
where
the
more
funding
where
we
really
need?
The
more
funding
is
for
both
the
juvenile
justice
population
and
for
the
child
welfare
population,
and
it
is
the
wraparound
services
of
behavioral
health
job
training.
A
It
is
all
of
those
other
things,
and
so
you
know
if
we
had
the
cadillac
model,
it
wouldn't
just
be
about
the
safety
protection
and
the
you
know
the
limited
level
of
service
that
we
are
able
to
offer
with
our
current
funding.
It
would
be
about
the
continued
investments
that
many
people
in
this
room
have
been
fighting
for
in
behavioral,
health
services,
job
job
training,
employment
services,
all
the
things
that
help
us
transition
from
being
victims
to
survivors,
and
so
there
could
be
an
unlimited
dollar
amount.
A
A
A
Yes,
so
so
I
want
to
say,
you
know
we're
confident
that
and
the
counties
are
here
and
they
can
speak
to
it.
We're
confident
that
the
bill
that
we've
put
together
will
allow
us
to
transition
to
this
system
and
that
we
can
start
building
these
receiving
centers
and
they
have
the
flexibility
for
alternative
placements,
and
we
are
going
to
do
better
by
these
children
immediately
within
that
one
year
time
frame
and
then
there's
still
more
work
for
all
of
us
to
do
for
all
of
the
children
in
nevada.
F
L
I
can
give
you
the
numbers
through
you,
chair,
carlton,
to
assemblywoman
titus,
and
I
don't
know
if
miss
roos
who's
on
the
zoom
might
be
able
to
give
you
an
idea
about
the
children
in
the
rural
area.
Teratitis,
but
you'll,
see
in
in
our
fiscal
note
that
we
have
based
the
our
fiscal
note
from
clark
county
on
the
numbers
that
we've
seen
in
consulting
with
our
juvenile
justice
facility.
L
I
think
those
numbers
I
don't
want
to
speak
for
washoe
county,
but
we
have
worked
with
them
and
I
think
those
are
somewhat
similar,
though
a
little
bit
fewer,
probably
for
washoe
county,
but
and
obviously
I
believe
that
we
have
the
largest
numbers,
of
course,
in
clark
county
just
because
by
benefit
of
our
economy
and
the
and
our
tourism
and
all
of
the
things
that
go
into
this
complicated
situation.
L
F
B
So
if
I
understand
correctly,
senator
raddy
I'm
going
to
go
through
some
of
my
notes
that
I'm
looking
at
clark
county
as
their
unsolicited
fiscal
note,
was
about
1.4
million
in
23
for
staffing,
housing
and
infrastructure.
But
when
I
look
at
that,
I
have
to
look
at
the
other
side
of
the
equation
that
law
enforcement
will
not
be
spending
money
in
certain
areas.
So
it's
kind
of
a
it's
a
balancing
act.
The
dollars
that
will
not
be
spent
on
one
side
will
be
spent
on
the
other
side.
A
So
I'll
speak
because
I
do
want
to
speak
statewide
just
a
little
bit.
That
was
their
starting
assumption
and
there
is
some
truth
to
that.
But
it
is
not
a
full
offset
and
when
you
think
about
the
juvenile
justice
system
in
particular,
and
the
numbers
that
we're
talking
about
here,
112
kids
is
too
many
kids
or
100.
Some
kids
is
too
many
kids,
but
relatives
to
the
entire
juvenile
justice
population.
A
It's
a
relatively
small
percentage
and
in
the
juvenile
justice
population.
You
still
have
to
have
that
facility.
You
still
have
to
have
that
bed.
You
still
have
to
have
all
those
staff.
You
know,
so
you
don't
it's
not
by
just
plucking
this
child
here
and
putting
it
over
here
that
you
get
the
hundred
percent
savings
from
that
because
of
all
the
built-in
sort
of
direct
indirect
costs
that
go
along
with
our
juvenile
justice
system
for
the
law
enforcement
piece.
A
L
And
thank
you
chair.
Thank
you,
chair,
carlton
yeah.
That
was
the
challenge.
When
we
worked
on
the
original
version
of
the
bill,
it
is
not
a
one-to-one
offset
juvenile
justice,
we
have
to
keep
it
open
and
it's
there
right.
It's
a
hard
cost
for
clark
county.
The
model
that
we
are
trying
to
work
towards
is
to
have
a
receiving
center.
That
would
be
open,
24
hours
seven
days
a
week.
L
It
has
to
be
because
we
because
it
has
to
be
available-
and
that's
really,
but
I
do
want
to
point
out
the
important
work
that
we
did
in
the
amendment
to
the
bill,
and
I
think
I'll
point
this
out
to
this
particular
assemblyman
miller,
because
you
sponsored
the
bill
on
children's
advocacy
centers
this
this
session
and
that
I
know
all
the
members
of
the
assembly
have
voted
on
that
bill.
But
we
are,
when
you
speak
to
metro.
L
We
are
partnering
with
metro
already
through
our
work
on
our
children's
advocacy
center,
which
is
a
forensic
model.
We
can
bring
kids
who
maybe
have
a
traumatic
experience
and
we
have
forensic
interviewing.
They
go
through
the
system,
one
time
that
is
a
model
that
we
do
partner
with
metro
and
there's
a
lot
of
work
yet
to
be
done,
but
we're
looking
at
that
children's
advocacy
center
as
one
that
is
appropriate
for
this
model,
because
it's
less
intensive
you're
not
sitting
in
a
police
station.
But
we
have
all
the
tools.
L
We
need
to
make
sure
that
the
services
are
there
and
then
the
idea
would
be
chair
carlton.
I
know
to
move
if
we
can
then
move
this
population
into
an
appropriate.
That's
why
we
wrote
in
alternative
care
settings
to
assemblyman.
Levitt's
point
is
that,
depending
on
the
needs,
it's
really
an
individual
need
and
assessment
for
each
for
each
case
and
we'll
have
to
house
them
at
some
point.
You'll
see
in
our
fiscal
note
that
we
do
contemplate
based
on
our.
L
B
And
and
thank
you
all
very
much
and
I
know
we
sometimes
get
distracted
and
want
to
get
into
the
policy
because
we're
very
interested
in
it,
but
we
do
need
to
try
to
keep
our
focus
towards
the
fiscal.
But
thank
you
for
the
explanation.
It
makes
us
realize
what
that
receiving
center
really
will
try
to
accomplish
and
how
it
will
impact
the
counties.
But
then
again
we
don't
fund
the
county.
B
So
we
have
to
keep
that
in
the
back
of
our
minds
too
majority
leader
and
then
mr
haven
and
then
we'll
need
to
move
on.
Thank.
B
H
I
think
I
see
it
on
washoe
in
the
first
year,
the
building
and
operations
cost
like
specifically.
So
I
guess
is
this
assuming
like
a
new
brick-and-mortar
or
is
it
assuming
additions
to
existing
and
remodifications
to
existing
brick
and
mortar,
or
I
see
the
piece
in
there
too
about
allowing
non-profits
or
other
groups
to
do
it
as
well,
so
that
would
that
be
dollars,
then
sub
granted
out
for
their
kind
of
hard
costs.
A
Thank
you
for
the
question
is
amber
howell
from
washoe
county
on
the
zoom.
A
So
amber
hall
is
the
director
of
health
and
human
services
for
washoe
county
and
I
think
she's
best
positioned
to
answer
how
they're
approaching
it.
I
will
just
add
we
put
in
the
amendment
some
flexibility
of
or
other
appropriate
placement,
because
if
we
can
build
a
model
that
doesn't
require
all
that
investment,
that
also
makes
sense.
So
the
flexibility
and
the
ability
to
draw
down
the
title,
4b
dollars
was
very
important
to
that
and
then
miss
howell.
C
Amber
howell
for
the
record
a-m-e-r-h-o-w-e-l-l
through
to
chair
carlton.
C
What
we
did.
It's
really
two
things
that
have
to
be
built:
one
is
a
receiving
center,
which
I
think
we
all
agreed
we're
going
to
change
the
name
to
something
a
little
bit
more
attractive
than
that
name.
That's
really!
The
72-hour
assessment
intake
getting
them
stabilized,
safe
figuring
out.
C
So
the
startup
cost
is
to
locate
a
building
to
do
that
and
then
the
other
side
of
the
equation
is
the
placement
costs.
So
we
have
to
find,
find
specialized,
foster
homes
to
take
this
population
and
so
there's
a
payment
that
goes
with
that,
and
I
know
a
lot
of
you
know
that
foster
care
in
and
of
itself
is
is
very
expensive.
C
It
goes
up
to
about
700
a
day
or
a
month
per
child,
and
when
you
have
this
population,
there's
a
couple
of
other
facets
that
you
have
to
consider
security
specialized
training,
and
so
you
have
placement
costs.
So
there's
really
two
two
pieces
of
the
model
that
we
had
to
contemplate.
The
building,
though,
is
a
one-shot.
C
So
that's
that's
not
something
that
we
have
to
reconcile
year
after
year
and
then,
of
course,
the
staffing,
the
specialized
staffing.
So
that's
what
what
really
came
into
the
fiscal
note?
Changing
the
language
to
allow
title
4e
had
a
significant
impact
for
us
to
draw
down
the
amount
of
money
that
we
would
need
simply
by
putting
title
4e
language
in
there.
B
Thank
you
very
much,
miss
howell.
So
with
that
was
there
another
question,
mr
roberts,
did
you
still
have
a
question.
G
Yes,
ma'am.
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
my
question
is
maybe
more
for
clark
county
to
weigh
in
so
you
know
we
we
operate
as
stated
before.
We
operate
a
facility
over
it
off
of
bonanza
and
we
have
police
officers
there.
I
had
several
detectives
there.
It
was
worked
in
conjunction
with
child
haven,
and
then
we
also
worked
so
that
we
could
steer
people
towards
resources.
We
have
the
harbors
right.
We
have
the
two
harbors.
We
converted
a
police
station
that
we
had.
G
It
was
a
mothballs
into
a
harbor
so
that
you
could
bring
juveniles,
so
they
could
connect
directly
with
services
so
that
they
wouldn't
enter
into
the
juvenile
justice
system.
I
I
see
this
is
kind
of
geared
towards
victims
of
crimes,
and
things
like
that
we
opened
it
was
so
successful.
We
opened
a
second
harbor
and
and
police
officers
know
to
take
kids
there
before
we
enter
them
into
the
juvenile
justice
system
and
so
that
we
treat
them
differently.
My
question
is:
how
do
you
see
that
this
works
with
the
harbor
is?
G
Is
this
facility
after
the
harbor,
or
is
this
and
then
how
does
it
dive
into
what
we're
doing
already?
I
mean
we
had
a
significant
footprint
down
there.
I
I
think
I
had
at
least
a
squad
and
a
half
and
a
sergeant
and
a
lieutenant
assigned
down
there
just
to
work
with
the
advocates
and
ensure
that
a
lot
of
these
services
were
being
done.
G
L
Thank
you,
chair,
carlton,
through
youtube,
assemblyman
robertson.
Thank
you
for
acknowledging
the
work
that
we've
done.
We've
we've
actually
spent
a
lot
of
time,
and
you
know
this
very
well
and
I
think
touching
on
the
harbors,
that
is,
that
is
a
program
through
our
juvenile
justice
division
and
one
that
we
are
working
to
expand.
But
I
want
everybody
to
know
that
our
juvenile
justice
division
and
our
department
clark
county
department
of
family
services,
which
is
our
child
welfare
system.
L
L
I
mean
the
work
for
the
harvards
to
keep
them
out
of
the
juvenile
justice
system
right,
and
so
then
we
would
be
handing
them
off
and
tying
them
to
services
that
they
would
that
we
would
be
building
through
this
new
pro
through
the
commercial
sexual
exploitation
program.
I
think
that,
really,
when
we
thought
about
this,
when
ms
howell
noted
the
additional
language
and
the
things
that
we
worked
on
in
this
bill,
it's
kind
of
just
hold
handing
it
off
into
the
system
for
best
interest
of
the
child
standard
right.
L
So
we
would
look
and
see
where
we
could
hand
them
off
whether
it's
through
into
a
receiving
center
or
another
form
of
placement
or,
if
appropriate,
into
a
specialized
foster
care
home
that
ms
howell
hunt
noted.
So
I
think
I
see
it
as
a
step
in
the.
I
see
it
as
a
cog
in
the
overall
system
that
we
are
building
in
clark
county
and
I
I
don't
think
that
they
will
not.
L
Juvenile
justice
will
probably
still
be
part
of
our
working
group
and
part
of
the
part
of
this
whole
system
that
is
going
to
to
address
this
population.
I
don't
know
if
that
answers
your
question.
I.
L
Thank
you,
chair
carlton.
Yes,
we
were.
We
were
neutral
on
the
bill
in
the
senate
when
we
were
working
on
our
amendments,
but
this
is
something
that
we
know
is
coming
and
we
actually
do
support
the
amendment
to
the
bill
and
thank
senator
rowdy
for
giving
us
this
flexibility
and
working
with
us
in
legal
aid
as
well
to
working
with
us
on
the
on
the
bill.
So,
yes,
we,
this
is
a
move.
G
And
that
that
was
kind
of
my
thought
is,
I
thought
we
were
doing
a
lot
of
that
already,
which
why
I
didn't
understand
the
physical
notes.
So
much
I
I
guess
that's
the
next
iteration,
but
thank
you
for
the
answer
and
thank
you
for
bringing
a
bill
forward.
A
Thank
you,
mr
robertson.
Just
very
pointedly
the
law
as
it
currently
stands
requires
it
to
start
on
july
2022.
This
gives
them
another
year.
So
if
the
bill
doesn't
pass,
it
doesn't
give
them
the
new
language
that
allows
to
draw
down
the
flexible
funds.
It
doesn't
give
them
the
new
flexibility
language
about
appropriate
placement,
and
it
starts
in
immediately
so
without
the
bills,
passage
they're
left
with
what
we
put
in
statute
last
time,
which
this
is
a
significant
improvement
from
where
we
were
last
session.
B
B
L
Chair
carlton
joanna
jacob
for
clark
county.
I
know
I've
been
on
the
microphone
quite
a
bit.
We
are
in
support.
Thank
you.
C
C
B
B
J
C
B
I
did
see
someone
pop
up
on
zoom,
mr
gonzalez,
were
you
in
support
of
this
bill,
or
were
you
just
tuning
in
for
another
bill.
O
Ma'am,
yes,
I
was
tuning
in
for
sb
185.
B
B
Thank
you
very
much.
We'll
go
to
neutral
anyone
in
neutral
in
the
room,
seeing
none
anyone
in
neutral
on
zoom.
C
Good
afternoon
catherine
roose,
deputy
administrator
at
the
division
of
child
and
family
services,
I'm
here
in
neutral
today
to
confirm
that
the
fiscal
note
by
the
division
of
child
and
family
services
will
be
paid
for
with
two
sources
of
federal
funding,
victims
of
crime
act,
funding,
boca
funding
and
then
child
welfare
4b2
funding.
So
this
will
have
no
general
fund.
B
J
B
And
thank
you
very
much
broadcast
services.
I
have
the
feeling
we're
all
going
to
be
a
little
tongue-tied
between
now
and
midnight
on
on
monday
night.
So
thank
you
so
with
that.
I
think
we've
accomplished
our
mission
on
this.
No
closing
comments
necessary,
we'll
go
ahead
and
close
the
hearing
on
sb
274.
B
And
we'll
go
to,
I
don't
see
miss
neil
assembly.
Senator
neil
is
on
her
way,
so
we'll
go
to
sb
310
next
as
soon
as
she
gets
here.
B
And
my
goal
this
morning,
committee
is
to
get
through
the
folks
we
had
held
over
before
we
leave
the
room
this
morning
so
that
they
don't
have
to
wait
any
any
longer,
so
we're
trying
to
get
through
our
those.
Today.
This
morning,.
B
B
B
P
Morning,
madam
chairman,
and
thank
you
for
waiting
for
me.
I
was
in
a
interesting
commerce
and
labor
hearing.
P
P
All
right,
okay,
so,
first
of
all,
I
want
to
start
off
saying
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
for
allowing
envy
grow
to
be
where
it
is
it's.
It
came
out
in
2015
and
we
have
managed
to
grow
in
such
significant
ways,
and
this
is
appropriation
bill
right
now,
we're
up
to
358
businesses.
We've
created
522
jobs.
Our
capital
formation
is
roughly
about
18
million.
We
have
a
revenue
impact
of
17
million
and
so
for
the
929
dollars
that
we'll
spend
on
a
business
whether
or
not
it's
for
payment
processing.
P
Google,
optimization
simply
trying
to
get
their
website
up,
give
them
business
strategy.
In
order
to
move
to
the
next
level,
we
have
been
able
to
produce
a
fifty
two
thousand
dollar
impact
per
business.
I
I
I
don't
know
if
you
guys
were
able
to
get
that
powerpoint,
because
you
know
everything
is
just
moving
in
such
a
weird
way,
but
we
had
a
powerpoint
that
just
kind
of
laid
out
our
growth
over
the
years
in
2020
we
were
at
326
in
2019.
P
We
were
at
roughly
210
businesses
and
we've
grown,
and
in
that
time
last
session
we
added
the
asian
development
chamber,
which
then
gave
us
an
additional
chamber.
Who
then
was
feeding
businesses
into
nevada
grow
that
we
can
move
to
the
next
level.
P
We've
expanded
our
staffing,
where
we
have
a
couple
more,
I
think
we
roughly
have
there
are
about
10,
but
then
there
are
some
part-time
folks
that
weave
in
and
out
of
the
program,
we
have
a
unique
organic
growth,
that's
kind
of
happening
in
the
space
we
have
a.
He
actually
is
an
employee
at
csn
who
created
a
clothing
line
called
unconquered,
and
he
now
has
been
able
to
get
one
set
of
sell
one
set
of
clothing.
P
P
How
nevada
grow
being
housed
at
csn
has
organically
created
opportunities
of
entrepreneurship,
not
just
for
the
businesses
that
we
have,
but
for
the
staff
that
may
be
considering
businesses
who
then
work
with
our
program
coordinator,
kevin
rayford,
and
then
we're
able
to
launch
the
interesting
thing
of
the
csn
employee
who
has
a
clothing
line,
because
I
asked
all
kinds
of
questions
I
mean
he's
selling
to
a
vegan
population.
I
don't
I
don't
know
what
that
means
like.
P
I
don't
I
don't
like
I'm
like,
so
this
particular
kind
of
clothing
it's
made
of
like
potato
like
what
like,
but
that
is
what
that
is
his
niche
right,
and
so
it's
like
okay,
so,
but
he
is
also
involved
in
the
program
where
he
is
helping
us
do
podcasts.
So
when
the
pandemic
hit
man,
we
we
ended
up
helping
a
lot
of
our
businesses,
go
to
the
e-commerce
model,
and
so
we
started
to
pivot
and
extend
the
dollars
in
a
different
way.
Where
now
businesses
were
trying
to
sell
online.
P
So,
for
example,
we
have
chef,
sonya
enowell,
she
has
the
rooster
boy
cafe
and
she
sells
granola,
and
so
her
biggest
shift
was
or
the
goal
that's
currently
happening
for
her
is
to
get
her
to
sell
her
granola
online,
and
so
because
she
was
a
brick
and
mortar.
The
pandemic
made
us
move
into
a
space
where
at
csn
we
were,
they
have
like
a
little
room.
P
I'm
calling
it
like
a
little
computer
room,
but
really
it's
a
tv
and
it
has
speakers-
and
it
has
all
of
these
things
where
we
can
go
in
and
like
help
them
build
their
youtube
commercials,
so
we're
literally
we've
expanded
in
such
significant
ways
that
I
I
I
it's
hard
for
me
to
really
put
it
all
in
one
bucket,
but
I
believe
we've
been
really
good
stewards
with
the
money
that
the
state
has
given
us,
and
this
committee
gave
us
last
session
and
the
sessions
prior
to
that
and
we've
managed
to
grow.
P
We
even
leveraged
our
money
to
move
into
grants,
so
there
was
a
grant
that
came
up
from
nancy
brune.
It
was
last
it
was
last
october.
Well,
it
was
before
the
pandemic
and
there
was
an
application
was
called
sandy
where
they
were
came
to
us
through
believe
it
or
not.
Assemblywoman
bustamante
adams
then
connected
nancy
brune
to
nevada
grow
and
then
they
said
we
want
to
write,
nevada
grow
into
our
grant,
and
so
we
were
able
to
get
1
million
to
spend
over
three
years.
P
P
Let's
see
the
production
of
this
money
and
how
we
have
managed
to
be
where
we
are,
where
other
people
want
to
step
in
and
help
us
and
go
to
a
level
where
we
can
take
the
400
000
and
go
beyond
because
now
we're
dealing
with
entrepreneurs
we
only
wanted.
I
only
wanted
to
deal
with
second
stage
businesses,
meaning
you
were
already
in
play.
P
We
needed
to
move
you
to
the
next
level,
but
now
entrepreneurs
are
coming
to
us
and
saying
help
us
get
from
that
beginning
stage
and
then
pivot
us
all
the
way
up
to
a
300,
000
margin,
and
so
that's
my
quick
synopsis
about
what
we're
doing
where
we're
going.
P
We
didn't
get
a
chance
to
have
too
many
quarterly
meetings
doing
the
pandemic,
we're
having
one
right
after
where
I
will
further
get
into
the
details
of
every
a
dollar
that's
being
spent,
but
I
I
just
wanted
to
let
this
committee
know
that
I
have
tried
to
manage
the
little
bit
that
we
got,
but
it's
it
was
a
lot
for
us
is
a
lot.
I
can
do
a
lot
with
a
little.
So
in
two
years
we
we
we
made
magic.
P
We've
made
magic
with
the
350
that
we
got,
and
so
I'm
here
again
to
hope
and
pray
that
I
get
another
allocation,
so
we
can
continue
to
grow
in
vigro.
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and.
B
Thank
you.
Senator
we've
talked
about
this
one
for
a
long
time,
so
it's
really
nice
to
hear
that
it's
working.
I
guess
I
have
one
quick
question,
though:
you're
focusing
on
a
lot
of
businesses,
I'm
from
the
non-profit
side
of
the
world
and
there's
a
lot
of
non-profits
that
could
use
something
like
this
or
just
benefit
from
some
of
the
advice
that
some
of
your
folks
in
business
might
have.
Are
you?
P
So
dean
and
neal
for
the
record
they're
not
prohibited,
we've
had
the
door
open
for
them,
they
just
have
to.
They
just
have
to
come
to
us.
Okay,
we
don't
we
don't
say:
hey,
non-profit,
go
away.
So,
okay,
no.
B
That's
that's
good
to
know
because
I
do
know
some
small
ones
that
are
doing
fantastic
work
and
they
just
don't
have
that
expertise
in-house
to
figure
out
how
to
make
those
next
steps,
because
it's
not
as
easy
as
you
would
think
it
would
be
because
you
could
grow
to
the
point
where
you
you,
you
could
be
crushed,
so
you
have
to
take
small
steps.
So
with
that,
are
there
other
questions?
Mr
hafen.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
senator
thank
you
for
bringing
this
forward
today.
I
think
this
is
a
great
great
cause
and
I
was
looking
at
the
slideshow
and
I'm
sure
the
chair
is
very
appreciative
if
you're
not
going
through
the
slide
show
today,
but
it
appears
on
slide
six
that
the
expense
that
you're
showing
here
is
about
thirty
six
thousand
and
the
economic
impact
is
two
million,
which
is
a
pretty
substantial
return
on
investment,
and
so
with
this
additional
400
000.
Or
are
you
anticipating
a
return
on
investment
similar.
P
Dena
neal
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
that.
Yes,
because
you
know
part
of
that
400
000
is
this.
Is
staffing
that's
in
there
as
well,
so
for
our
kevin
rayford
who's,
our
program
manager,
he
gets
paid
42..
P
We
have
pablo
rea,
which
is
the
very
important
part
of
this
conversation,
because
he
is
the
one
that
gets
in
the
data
he's
the
one
that's
a
part
of
our
esri,
so
there's
esri
and
then
there's
another
data
set
that
we
use
that
csn
has.
And
so,
when
we
talk
about,
we
spend
half
of
the
money
on
the
businesses
and
the
other
half
on
the
employees,
and
so
when
you
think
about
the
setup
of
the
bill,
it
allows
stipends
for
the
professors
on
campus
to
engage.
P
So
we
use
the
culinary,
which
is
on
csn's
campus.
We
use
the
business
professors
and
then
we
have
that
relationship
with
sbdc
counselors.
That
then
merges
into
all
of
this,
and
so
it's
not
just
this
like
set
of
humans.
It's
like
this
collaboration
of
individuals
that
come
together
where
we
merge
their
skill,
sets
to
then
produce
and
leverage
for
the
businesses.
P
So,
like
michelle
kwan
she's
an
sbdc
counselor,
but
we
have
her
because
you
know
we,
I
think
two
sessions
ago,
we
we
went
into,
we
needed
a
person
who
spoke
mandarin
right
and
so
and
then
we
had
a
student
intern
who
then
spoke
mandarin
and
then
so.
We
started
to
move
off
of
that
and
now
we're
into
african
communities,
and
we
were
always
in
latino
communities,
but
now
we're
getting
into
the
subset
of
like
tagalog,
and
we
have
a
person
who
speaks
to
golo.
P
P
So
if
a
business
said
that
they
wanted
to
do
something
in
a
bilingual
way,
we
have
that
capacity,
because
we
not
only
have
a
counselor
who
can
speak
to
them
about
their
business
component
in
their
language,
and
that
has
been
very
important
for
us
to
help
us
grow
and
so
the
other
part
of
it
has
been.
You
know
a
small
amount
of
operations,
but
the
rest
of
it
is
on
business
and
how
we
leverage
them
to
the
next
level.
P
I
don't
see
us
changing.
I
just
see
us
getting
better
in
terms
of
how
we
focus
and
do
more
direct
targeting.
I
I
Let
me
rephrase
I've
worked
for
you
on
a
couple
workforce,
development
projects
and
and
and
what
I,
what
I
found
that
that
you
were
able
to
do
was
bring
a
lot
of
entities
together
and-
and
I
wonder
if
this
is
the
same-
if
you
know
that
your
your
your
trade
unions,
your
your
municipalities,
come
to
the
table
and
really
step
up
and
help,
help
organize
and
and
and
and
give
input
is,
is
this
does
this
operate
kind
of
the
same
way
as
the
other
stuff
that
you
were
working
on.
P
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Senator
dean
o'neill
slightly,
I
mean
my
workforce
development
program.
354
was
slightly
different.
I
had
a
different
goal
and
agenda,
but
the
local
government
doesn't
play
a
role
as
much
as
the
chambers
play
a
role
like
clark.
County
business
licensing
had
a
role,
but
they
have
been
more
of
like
when
we
need
like
help
with
a
business
license
or
going
through
that
process
that
it's
more
of
that
kind
of
relationship.
P
But
with
the
unions,
we
have
not
had
that
kind
of
relationship
unless
they
came
to
us
saying
that
they
were
a
second
stage
business
that
wanted
to
grow
to
the
next
level.
So
if
they
came
to
saying
you
know,
I
I
just
started
my
transportation
company
or
I
just
started
my
machinery
company
or
something,
and
they
came
to
us,
then
that
would
be
our
relationship
to
them,
because
we
don't,
we
don't
have
a
category
of
who
we
work
with.
P
We
just
have
the
category
that
you
be
a
small
business
under
50
persons
and
that
you
have
a
certain
revenue,
gross
revenue
that
you're
actually
earning
which
allows
us
to
take
on
the
smaller
business,
because,
if
you're
under
50
000,
then
you're
probably
you're
that
small
business
entrepreneur,
but
if
you're
over
50
000,
then
that
allows
us
to
kind
of
deal
with
that
entity
and
say
all
right.
P
Well,
that's
that's
probably
how
much
you
were
making
when
you
left
your
job
right
and
so
now,
you're
engaged
in
your
business,
and
so
that
is
the
doorway
where
we
try
to
reach
them
because
they've
been
in
play.
They
have
taxes
to
show
that
they
have
that
gross
revenue,
but
it
it's
a
collaboration
of
the
chambers
csn
and
then
the
the
ecosystem.
That's
going
on
at
csn.
H
You
so
much
I've
voted
for
this
bill,
a
number
of
times
in
the
appropriations
and
the
policy,
and
I
know
it's
been
a
struggle
in
different
years
to
to
get
this
done,
and
but
I've
always
thought
that
this
is
when,
if
the
state
is
going
to
provide
help
to
when
the
state
provides
help
to
business
that
this,
this
kind
of
the
stage
that
these
businesses
are
in
is
where
it's
the
most
meaningful
so
often
times,
and
in
past
years
like
when
you
were
first
fighting
for
this
legislation,
the
focus
was
on
so
much
on.
H
How
do
you
know
we
help?
You
know
these
highly
profitable
companies,
you
know
with
with
supports
and
economic
incentives,
and
it's
like
really.
There
was
a
small
group
of
people
advocating
for
these
small,
smaller
businesses
who
were
just
getting
off
the
ground
and
really
in
those
first
couple
years
where
they
were
gonna,
make
it
or
break
it
right.
They
were
gonna
kind
of
do
well
and
survive,
or
they
were
going
to
lose
all
of
their
life
savings
that
they'd
put
into
everything.
H
P
Dina
neal
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
that.
We
do
have
a
youtube
channel
and
we
have
an
instagram
just
plug
in
that,
but
one
of
our
one
of
our
she's,
a
superb
maid
company.
P
She
got
the
small
business
award
from
sba,
yeah
and
so,
and
so
we
have
had
super
successes
with
our
group,
like
I
think
one
in
in
2017,
one
of
our
businesses
that
remember
the
guy,
the
the
group
that
had
the
backpacks
that
were
like
basketball
backpacks
and
they
made
these
things
so
they've
grown
in
a
way
where
now
santos,
who
was
one
of
our
first
businesses,
he's
now
going
around
educating
and
mentoring
the
other
businesses
and
then
he's
he's
he's
expanded
in
significant
ways
like
if
you
actually
go
to
his
instagram.
P
He
is
traveling
around
the
united
states.
Educating
folks
on
how
to
get
suppliers
get
fabric,
do
different
things,
and
then
he
brings
that
expertise
right
back
into
our
ecosystem
to
help
build
the
other
businesses,
and
so
that
was
one
of
the
that
was
one
of
the
outliers
that
I
was
hoping
to
get
to,
because
it
was
always
in
the
bill
that
to
do
that.
P
Internal
mentoring,
business
to
business,
because
it's
super
important
for
business
to
be
able
to
tell
you
their
mistakes
and
then
the
road
that
they
traveled
that
were
successes
so
that
you
can
follow
their
path
to
gain
the
same
access
to
the
information
and
and
material,
and
so
it's
it's
been
good.
It's
been.
It's
been
interesting,
I've!
I
I
had
a
super
hands-on
in
your
business
approach
and
I've
I've
had
a
lo
I've
had
to
be.
I
could
be
a
little
less.
P
I
could
be
like
over
here
like
instead
of
like
right
here,
but
and
that's
good,
because
that
means
that
the
effort
of
that
I
did
a
super
managing
came
to
fruition,
and
now
they
can
kind
of
run
on
their
own
without
a
legislator
showing
up
in
the
building
saying.
Can
I
see?
Can
I
see
the
last
three
quarters
of
expenses
and
I
hope
you're
not
wasting
this
money.
B
Thank
you
very
much
senator
so
with
that
I
don't
see
any
other
questions
at
this
time.
A
number
of
us
on
this
committee
are
very
familiar
with
this
program
and
if,
if
I
was
going
to
give
you
a
word
of
advice
for
the
future,
I
would
start
talking
to
the
guy
across
the
mall
and
see
if
you
can
get
bill,
get
it
built
into
the
budget,
because
I
think
you
have
proven
the
the
success
of
over
time-
and
you
know
there's
this
conversation
about
out
there
about
small
businesses.
B
C
Good
morning,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
committee
mariana
kewn
director
of
government
affairs
for
the
college
of
southern
nevada,
we
too
are
very,

Good
morning,
chair
carlton
and
members
of
the
committee
for

is
in
strong
support
of
sb
310.
We
would
like
to
thank
senator
neil
for
bringing
this
bill
forward
once
again,
we're
in
strong
support
of
the
envy
grow
program.
In
that
average
it
increases
businesses,
economic
impact,
50-fold
per
dollar,
invested
the
great
program
and
we
think
it's
an
amazing
use
of
the
state
dollars
and
we
are
in
strong
support.
We
urge
your
support
as
well.
Thank
you
very
much.
J
C
C
C
Services
to
the
small

within
the
city
of
north
las
vegas,
so
we
believe
that
this
program
can
be
a
game
changer
to
individual
families
and
we'll
set
them
up
for
future
success.
So
we
would
like
to
thank
senator
neil
for
bringing
this
bill
forward
and
we
urge
the
support
and
passage
of
this
measure
of
this
measure.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time
and
consideration.
B
B
B
P
P
So
I
want
to
say
that
thank
you
for
mentoring
and
being
a
part
of
the
space,
and
I
do
miss
you
guys
no
offense
to
senator
ratty,
but
I
just
I
hope
you
have
a
great
time
outside
of
this
building.
Come
back
and
see
me.
Thank
you.
B
B
A
I
very
much
enjoyed
watching
senator
neil
present
that
bill,
so
thank
you
for
the
privilege,
senator
giulia
ratti
for
the
record
representing
senate
district
13.
This
too
will
be
my
last
bill
presentation
for
you.
So
last
time
you
have
to
put
up
with
some
relatively
complex
health
and
human
services
policy
in
ways
and
means
in
the
morning.
A
This
is
my
third
reprint
bill.
We
all
have
to
have
our
third
repent
bill
in
the
session
right
and
I
will
say
that
it
is
a
bill
that
a
large
cast
of
characters
has
rolled
up
their
sleeves
to
make
sure
that
we
get
it
right,
and
I
really
do
want
to
say
that
I
am
here
representing
the
entire
senate
health
and
human
services
committee,
because
in
particular
senator
kieckefer
and
senator
spearman
rolled
up
their
sleeves
and
got
involved
to
make
sure
that
we
got
this
right.
A
There
are
two
significant
portions
of
this
bill
and
because
there's
some
relative
complexity
to
it,
you
have
a
cheat
sheet.
That
is
an
exhibit
that
goes
through
all
of
the
sections.
I
want
to
avoid
trying
to
do
a
section
by
section
walk
through,
but
this
bill
has
a
lot
of
fiscal
implications
to
it,
because
we
are
talking
about
two
new
funds
that
get
created
and
the
distribution
of
those
funds,
and
so,
if
there
ever
was
a
bill
that
I
thought
this
committee
might
want
to
know
in
greater
detail.
Hence
the
cheat
sheets
for
you.
A
So
this
bill
is
very
much
focused
on
behavioral
health.
Broadly,
we
have
been
doing
a
lot
of
work
in
the
state
of
nevada
on
that
issue,
and
it
has
two
separate
and
distinct
components
that
are
both
in
this
bill
because
they
relate
to
behavioral
health
and
are
both
in
this
bill
because
they
are
in
response
to
significant
national
events
that
we
need
to
get
our
hands
around
here
in
nevada.
A
The
first
six
sections
of
the
bill
are
in
relation
to
the
federal
decision
to
stand
up
the
988
phone
line
and
so
in
on
october,
17th
of
2020.
So
relatively
late
after
many
of
us
had
our
bill
drafts
well
underway,
the
federal
government
passed
the
national
suicide
prevention
designation
act.
This
is
an
effort
that
behavioral
health
advocates
have
been
working
on
literally
for
decades
and
what
it
does
is
it
stands
up
the
988
phone
line,
so
you're
all
familiar
with
an
operator
going
to
say
lump.
A
What
we
know
is
that,
despite
all
of
the
best
efforts
of
law
enforcement
to
do
a
significant
amount
of
work
on
crisis
intervention
training
to
work
with
their
teams
on
how
do
we
respond
to
somebody
who's
experiencing
a
behavioral
health
crisis
that
I
think
that
there's
been
a
general
consensus
by
both
behavioral
health
advocates
law
enforcement
advocates.
The
community
advocates
at
large
that
law
enforcement
is
not
is
often
not
the
right
response
to
somebody
who
is
experiencing
a
behavioral
health
crisis
in
the
health
and
human
services
committee.
A
The
phone
line
response
with,
which
is
a
a
call
line
where
90
of
instances
of
somebody
experiencing
a
behavioral
health
crisis,
can
be
stabilized,
followed
that
that
crisis
line
needs
to
be
able
to
dispatch,
and
it
also
needs
to
be
able
to
organize
follow-up
services
for
those
individuals.
So
they
do
stabilization
for
90
follow-up
services
and
dispatch.
A
A
A
A
So
what
the
first
bill
does
and
it's
the
first
page
of
the
cheat
sheet
is:
it
allows
the
board
of
health
to
adopt
regulation
regulations.
The
national
legislation
contemplated
standing
up
the
funding
mechanism
for
this
type
of
service
through
a
surcharge
on
telephone
lines,
just
like
we
do
for
9-1-1
and
so
that
national
legislation
authorizes
that
to
happen.
A
This
bill
authorizes
the
department
of
the
state
board
of
health
to
adopt
regulations.
They
want
to
do
a
planning
process.
They
currently
have
a
grant
to
do
the
988
implementation
process,
so
they
are
working
with
stakeholders.
Now
many
of
the
folks
in
our
communities,
from
law
enforcement,
behavioral,
health
etc
are
working
with
the
department
of
health
and
human
services
and
dr
woodard,
who
is
leading
that
project
to
start
the
work
to
stand
up
the
988
hotline
through
that
grant.
A
A
We've
worked
with
the
the
industry,
specifically
folks,
who
you
know,
companies
that
have
phone
lines
to
make
sure
that
it's
capped,
that
the
money
can't
supplant
and
that
we're
very
tight
on
the
definition
of
what
the
money
can
be
used
for
and
the
money
can
be
used
to
stand
up
the
988
system
and
specifically
make
sure
that
we
have
the
people
to
be
able
to
doing
the
phone
be
able
to
do
the
phone
lines
and
the
wrap-around
response
that
would
be
necessary
once
these
calls
stop
going
to
9-1-1
and
start
going
to
988.
A
it'll
be
a
slow
ramp
up
right,
just
like
9-1-1.
People
will
need
to
learn
about
this
line
right
now
and,
and
it
is
connected
to
the
national
suicide
hotline
which
already
exists.
But
right
now
you
have
to
know
what
that
phone
number
is
right.
Now
everybody
will
just
be
able
to
call
988
if
they're
having
a
behavioral
health
crisis
over
time.
This
is
going
to
divert
many
people
who
are
having
a
behavioral
health
crisis
out
of
the
ems
emergency
response
system
and
into
a
much
more
right
tool
for
the
tool
right
tool
for
the
job.
A
It
creates
a
fund.
That
fund
can
be
there's
a
planning
grant
to
stand
it
up.
One
of
the
big
questions
is
going
to
be
interoperable
interoperability
between
911
and
988,
and
that
doesn't
have
to
happen
on
nine
on
day
one
because
we
already
have
between
our
crisis
our
existing
suicide
hotline,
which
is
currently
run
by
crisis
services
of
nevada.
A
We
already
have
the
ability
to
toss
folks
back
and
forth,
but
we
don't
have
full
interoperability,
so
that
would
be
the
long-term
vision
and
there's
work
to
do
and
july
16th
2022
that
phone
line,
that
line
will
go
live
and
we
want
to
be
ready.
So
that's
the
first
half
of
the
bill.
It
is
really
about
crisis
stabilization,
building
out
that
new
and
better
crisis
stabilization
response
system,
specifically
the
phone
and
mobile
crisis
teams
funded
by
the
surcharge
in
this
model,
in
conjunction
with
988..
A
A
A
A
So
a
lot
of
work
on
the
department
of
behavioral
health
collaborating
with
the
attorney
general's
office
and
then
the
attorney
general's
office
has
of
course
been
aggressively
pursuing
those
settlements,
and
so
on
this
part,
at
the
discretion
of
the
chair
and
again
we're
talking
billions
with
a
b
will
come
in
over
a
period
of
time,
and
so
I
do
think
it's
important
that
we
get
this
right.
A
So
I'm
kind
of
looking
to
you
chair
carlton,
of
how
much
detail
you
want
me
to
go
through
on
this
part
of
the
section,
but
I
have
dr
dr
woodard
and
mrs
adair
here
to
help
with
answering
those
questions.
What
I
will
say
is
we
are
trying
to
do
something
that
hasn't
been
done
before.
I
think
in
this
state.
A
This
is
built
off
the
fund
for
healthy
nevada
model,
the
tobacco
settlement
dollar
model
with
some
tweaks.
It's
the
fund
for
resilient
nevada.
It
has
an
advisory
committee,
the
advisory
committee.
We
did
a
lot
of
work
to
make
sure
that,
frankly,
people
who
are
impacted
and
communities
that
were
impacted
disproportionately
had
a
voice
at
the
table,
and
so
the
appointments
are
made
by
the
attorney
general's
office.
A
third
of
the
appointments
are
made
by
the
attorney
general's
office.
A
A
B
I
don't
think
I
mean
some
detail
on
the
the
budget,
the
opioid
settlement
money
dollars.
I
I
think
the
the
concern
that
I
always
have
is
when
these
dollars
come
in.
We
restrict
them
to
the
point
where
they're
you
never
know
where
the
need
is
going
to
be
in
the
future,
and
if
you
get
too
restrictive,
then
you
can't
address
something
that
comes
forward
and
ms
adair
has
been
in
this
room
numerous
times
this
session,
where
we've
had
conversations
about
okay,
this
fund
is
beginning
to
transition
out.
B
There
were
positions
associated
with
it,
we
didn't
want
to
lose
the
positions,
so
I
think
it's
very
important
that
we
create
a
record
that,
as
this
fund
moves
forward
and
as
these
things
happen,
that
will
it
will
operate
within
its
within
its
own
lane.
It
will
be
as
as
some
of
the
others,
but
we've
had
a
number
of
other
funds
in
the
past,
where
people
found
a
hard
time.
B
It's
like
we
don't
want
once
we
get
it,
we
don't
want
to
let
go
and
when
those
dollars
have
been
used,
it
will
be
time
to
close
this
fund
up
and
move
on
now.
At
the
rate
that
I
see
the
money
coming
into
this,
I
don't
think
that'll
happen,
probably
with
most
of
us
in
this
room,
but
I
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
too
restrictive
in
the
uses,
because
when
you
talk
about
the
consequences
of
opioid
use,
that
could
be
homelessness,
food
insecurity,
child
welfare
to
the
children
that
are
involved.
B
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
these
dollars
are
available
for
whatever
issue
arises
out
of
this,
because
it's
not
just
that
one
point:
there's
a
there's:
a
cascade
of
events
that
follow
that
person.
With
that
substance
abuse.
It's
it's
not
a
single
issue
item,
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
that
was
on
the
record.
A
Thank
thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
think
this
is
probably
a
place
where
you
and
I
have
a
lot
in
common
in
terms
of
how
we
view
the
world.
I
want
to
explicitly
point
you
in
the
bill
to
page
14..
A
It's
section,
9.6,
subsection
2
starts
with
the
statewide
plan,
may
allocate
money
too,
and
so
I
think
it's
probably
helpful
that
just
have
this
verbally
on
the
record.
There's
a
list.
There
starts
with
the
what
you
would
expect:
expanding
access
to
evidence-based
prevention
of
substance,
use
disorders,
early
intervention
for
persons
at
risk
of
a
substance,
use
disorder,
treatment
for
substance,
use
disorders
and
support
for
persons
in
recovery
programs
to
reduce
the
incidence
and
severity
of
neonatal
abstinence
abstinence
syndrome.
A
So,
specifically,
where
substance
use
is
affecting
neonatal
and
birth,
which
we've
talked
a
lot
about
this
session.
A
So
our
general
prevention
work
programs
for
persons
involved
in
the
criminal
justice
or
juvenile
justice
system.
We
know
that
in
our
own
prison
population
and
in
our
juvenile
justice
systems,
there's
tremendous
impact
from
the
opioid
epidemic
evaluation,
because
we
want
to
know
that
we're
doing
well
development
of
a
workforce
of
providers.
We
know
that
we
do
not
have
the
workforce
that
we
need
to
address
the
needs
in
our
community
and
then
collection
of
analysis
and
data.
A
Because
again
we
want
to
know
that
we're
doing
well
capital
projects
relating
to
substance,
use,
substance,
use
disorder
without
limits,
limitation,
construction
purchasing
and
remodeling
of
buildings.
Again,
homeless,
population
significantly
impacted
by
opioid
epidemic
and
then
implementing
the
hotline
for
persons
who
are
considering
suicide
or
other
behavioral
crisis,
which
we
just
discussed.
K
A
K
Dear,
thank
you,
chair
just
go.
Dare
for
the
record,
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
first
acknowledge
the
thousands
of
hours
of
work
that
senator
ratty
her
staff
second
assistant,
christine
jones,
brady,
consumer
counsel,
mark
kruger
and
our
unofficial
opioid
epidemic
czar,
dr
stephanie
woodward,
put
in
to
this
bill.
K
This
bill
threw
that
that
reprint
out
and
we
started
from
scratch.
So
the
people
who
are
driving
the
train
on
distributing
this
funding
are
affected
communities
in
that
advisory
committee.
You
will
not
see
the
institutional
players.
You
will
not
even
see
the
attorney
general
himself
sitting
in
that
advisory
committee.
You
will
see
people
who
have
been
affect
communities
who
have
been
affected
by
this
crisis
and
the
people
who
work
in
those
systems
so
that
advisory
committee
logistically
how
this
can
work
is
that
advisory
committee
is
going
to
develop
recommendations.
K
Those
recommendations
have
a
great
number
of
statutory
requirements
that
you'll
see
in
the
bill
and
for
brevity,
I'm
not
going
to
go
into
that
exactly
but
emphasizing
equity
once
those
recommendations
are
made.
Those
recommendations
are
then
sent
to
the
the
department
of
health
and
human
services
and
within
the
department
of
health
and
human
services,
the
office
on
minority
health
and
equity.
K
With
those
recommendations,
they
also
are
going
to
look
at
a
number
of
other
factors
that
are
in
the
bill,
another
under
sources
of
information
that
are
in
the
bill,
so
those
institutional
players.
Those
agencies
who
will
have
seen
the
harm
that
the
opioid
epidemic
has
wrought
upon
these,
the
state,
the
public
public
hearings,
public
information
gathering
and
then
other
stakeholders
and
other
community
representatives
and
other
committees
created
by
this
legislature.
Who
addressed
these.
K
K
All
of
this
then
goes
to
the
interim
finance
committee
for
approval,
so
the
legislature
then
gets
a
say-
and
I
think
it's
important
to
talk
about
those
pieces
because
it
gets
at
the
question
that
you
raised
about.
How
do
we
know
this
is
going
to
the
need
and
how
do
we
ensure
that?
Even
though
this
is
one-shot
funding,
it
may
come
over
a
period
of
years,
but
we
will
only
get
one
bite
at
this
apple.
A
And
there's
one
one
nuance
that
I
think
is
important
for
folks
to
understand,
and
that
is
we're
dealing
with
the
settlements
that
were
pursued
by
the
attorney
general's
office
for
the
statewide
impact.
A
However,
there
are
some
local
areas
that
did
not
pursue
lawsuits
and
there
are
other
areas,
because
every
nevadan
is
a
person
who
lives
in
a
neighborhood
that
lives
in
a
city
that
lives
in
a
county
that
lives
in
a
state
where
the
collaboration
would
be
important
for
the
state.
The
work
that
we're
doing
in
the
state
and
the
work
that's
going
to
get
done
at
the
local
level.
A
So
what
this
bill
says
is
it.
It
puts
the
exact
same
requirements
on
local
governments
if
they
want
local
governments,
if
they
want
any
of
the
state-wide
dollars
to
flow
down
to
the
local
level
or
non-profits,
they
have
to
do
their
own
needs
assessment
and
they
have
to
do
their
own
plan,
which
we
hope
to
nudge
the
collaboration
between
what
is
happening
at
the
local
level,
with
settlement
dollars
and
what's
happening
with
the
state
level
at
settlement
with
settlement
dollars.
A
B
Thank
you
very
much.
I
think
we've
got
a
handle
on
it
now,
so
with
that,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
open
it
up
for
a
couple
of
questions.
Anyone
have
any
questions
at
this
moment.
There
are
the
two
different
components.
Mr
roberts.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
so
in
section
my
question
is
section
section
three
at
the
beginning
of
the
bill
and
and
it
talks
about
the
funding
on
the
surcharge
for
per
line,
and
and
maybe
you
don't
have
this-
maybe
the
division
would
have
the
answer
to
this
and
it
it
allows
for
the
establishment
of
the
response
teams.
G
If
funding
is
available-
and
I
was
curious
to
see,
have
they
penciled
that
out
to
see
what
it's
going
to
cost
to
stand
up
to
center
and
then
you
know,
would
there
be
enough
to
establish
mobile
crisis
teams?
I
mean:
do
we
think
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
do
that?
Because
I
mean,
if
you
you
know,
if
you,
if
you
don't,
have
people
to
respond,
it
certainly
didn't
you
know
it
kind
of
hurts
the
center
and
we've
always
struggled
for
that
funding.
A
Thank
you
for
the
question:
julia
ready
for
the
record,
so
the
short
answer
is
that's.
A
Why
there's
a
planning
grant
and
that's
why
there's
no
specific
fee
in
the
bill,
but
just
to
cap
up
to
35
cents,
because
the
planning
grant
process
is
going
to
work
through
we're,
also
in
a
very
exciting
time,
where
senator
catherine,
cortez
masto
is
doing
some
good
work
at
the
national
level
on
this
crisis
response
model
and
we're
seeing
the
ability
to
build
medicaid
for
some
of
the
components
and
so
that
all
needs
to
be
sorted
out
to
see
what
the
local
match
piece
needs
to
be,
because
this
will
likely
be
able
to
draw
down
significant
federal
dollars
as
well
to
support
the
model.
A
So
there
isn't
an
answer
for
you
that
I
think
anybody's
going
to
be
able
to
give
you
at
this
time.
The
planning
grant
will
get
you
to
that,
but
a
piece
that
I
wanted
to
highlight
for
you:
assemblyman
roberts.
If
you're,
looking
at
page
4
line
21
those
mobile
crisis
teams
seek
to
develop
this
best
practice
model
that
includes
the
behavioral
health,
professional
and
the
person
with
lived
experience,
which
is
the
first
team
team
a.
But
it
also
recognizes
that
we
have
some
good
projects
that
are
already
working
in
our
communities.
A
So
item
b
is
a
team
established
by
a
provider
of
emergency
medical
services
and
we've
seen
some
of
the
ambulance
in
the
north.
It's
remsa,
I
don't
know
what
to
call
it
in
the
south.
I
apologize,
but
I
know
in
southern
nevada
they
have
emergency
responder
models
that
have
been
working
significantly
on
behavioral
health
and
then
c.
I
think
you'll
recognize
as
the
most
teams
and
so
there's
going
to
be
need
to
be
a
triaging.
If
you
will
of
when
do
we
need
to
roll
a
most
team
that
does
include
law
enforcement?
A
When
do
we
need
to
re
roll
ems
because
there's
another
issue
or
when
do
we
need
to
actually
build
out
these
other
teams?
So
there's
a
lot
of
work
to
blend
the
really
good
work
that
has
happened
over
the
course
of
the
last
several
years.
On
behavioral
health,
with
the
most
teams
and
the
emergency
response
teams,
and
then
this
new
model
and
there's
not
a
simple
answer.
Yet
that's
why
the
planning
grant
well
yeah.
I.
G
Thank
you
very
much,
and
I
I
appreciate
the
forward
thinking
of
this.
I
mean
it's
certainly
a
gap
in
our
state
and
nationally.
You
know
the
the
police
are
left
to
handle
a
lot
of
these
issues
and
and
they
don't
they,
don't
necessarily
have
the
equipment
or
the
training
and
or
are
there
the
appropriate
folks
to
handle
some
of
these,
and
so
we've
been
trying
to
fill
the
gap.
We've
struggled
with
the
funding,
and
hopefully
this
can
get
us
there
with
the
federal
funding.
So
thank
you.
B
So
with
that,
any
other
questions
at
this
time
miss
benitez
thompson
and
then
I'll
go
to
mr
haven
afterwards.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
H
Okay
and
so
then
I
guess
so
the
the
the
thing
that
is
unique
to
nevada
for
for
this,
because
I
think,
as
I'm
reading
the
the
fcc
documents
here,
they
don't
have
the
they
don't
have
an
assessment
on
the
the
telephone
users.
So
that's
going
to
be
nevada's
specific,
then
right.
A
So
correct,
and
I
will
read
you
the
exact
language
in
the
national
bill.
A
fear
charge
collected
under
the
subsection
shall
only
be
imposed,
collected
and
used
to
pay
expenses
that
a
state
is
expected
to
incur
that
are
reasonably
attributed
to
ensuring
the
efficient
and
effective
routing
of
calls
made
to
the
988
national
suicide
prevention
and
mental
health
crisis
hotline
and
to
an
appropriate
crisis
center
personnel
and
the
provision
of
acute
mental
health
crisis,
outreach
and
crisis
stabilization
services.
Thank.
H
So,
having
worked
on
a
tele
surcharge
for
deaf
and
hard
of
hearing
when
we
had,
I
don't
want
to
misspeak,
but
we
we
had
the
supreme
court
lawsuit
about
the
the
deaf
and
hard
and
hearing
the
tdd
surcharge,
because
we
sought
the
we
passed
a
bill
to
raise
that
surcharge.
That
was
going
to
be
collected,
so
it
ended
up
in
court
right
so
having
been
through
this.
It
says
here
that
the
the
state
board
of
health
will
impose
a
surcharge.
H
That
surcharge
will
be
based
on
regulations
and
then
sufficient
to
support
the
uses,
as
set
forth
in.
I
think
it
says
subsection
two,
but
then
I
think
it
also
makes
a
reference
down
to
sections
two
through
six.
So
for
the
record,
what
as
like,
what
would
be
your
intent
for
what
that
would
look
like
and
those
expenses
to
be
captured?
H
A
Appreciate
the
question
again:
julia
ready
for
the
record,
so
the
authorization
from
the
federal
government
is
there
it's
a
little
bit
distinct
from
9-1-1
in
that
9-1-1
is
generally
handled
at
the
county
level,
and
we've
done
some
statewide
things
that
the
one
that
you've
referenced.
Also
the
body
cam
legislation
would
be
the
other
example.
Oh
sorry,.
H
I
was
referencing
that
the
tdd
charge
on
phone
lines
for
deaf
and
hard
of
hearing,
so
that
was
the
one
that
raggio
put
in
place
and
then,
when
the
aging
and
disability
needed
to
raise
that,
I
think
it
was
by.
I
think
the
initial
proposal
was
like
I'm
going
back
to
my
2015
session
by
two
cents
or
so
then
then
there
it
ended
up
in
the
the
uses.
For
that
two
cents
is
what
ended
up
in
court
and-
and
I
don't
think
the
state
initially
prevailed.
H
A
The
mental
crisis
hotline,
an
appropriate
crisis
center
personnel
in
the
provisions
of
acute
mental
health
crisis,
outreach
and
stabilization
services,
and
directly
responding
to
the
988
national
suicide
prevention
and
mental
health
crossline.
So
it
have
to
be
in
that
to
be
aligned
with
the
federal
legislation
and
then
in
the
bill.
A
So,
for
instance,
the
lifeline
already
exists
and
we
have
crisis
services
of
nevada.
But
what
will
happen
is,
as
988
becomes
more
well-known.
There's
no
question
that
their
trajectory
of
calls
is
going
to
go
up
because
they're
going
to
shift
from
9-1-1
to
988
and
so
they're
going
to
need
that
gap
resource
to
be
able
to
answer
and
respond
to
those
calls
run
into
the
technology
and
the
infrastructure
around
that
to
be
able
to
respond
to
that.
A
That
would
then
flow
into
both
the
ability
to
do
the
case,
management
and
wrap
around
services
for
folks
we
never
have
to
dispatch
for,
but
we've
had
them
on
the
phone
line
and
need
to
make
sure
that
they
get
an
inpatient
or
an
outpatient,
an
inpatient
bed
if
they
need
it,
an
outpatient
visit
medication.
Whatever
that
case
management
is
to
to
follow
on
with
the
wrap
around
and
or
dispatching
these
teams
and
those
teams
would
be
included
again
to
the
prior
point.
A
H
Thanks
so
much
I
just
I
will
say
that
just
having
spent
the
time
it
was,
I
think,
two
years
just
fighting
to
get
like
a
two
cent
increase
on
a
tdd
charge
to
support
the
deaf
and
hard
of
hearing
centers
and
the
work
that
they
do
it.
H
You
can
only
pay
for
this
with
it
and
then
I
think
the
the
biggest
thing
that
we're
gonna
have
to
be
cautious
about
is
the
cost
for
existing
services,
because
you
do
say
not
supplant,
but
the
truth
is
like
when
we
look
at
it
for
like
the
most
team,
we
could
triple
that
size
of
the
program
and
still
need
more.
H
We
could
quadruple
the
size
of
the
program
and
still
need
more,
but
then
what
would
that
rate
reflect
like
on
all
of
everyone's
telephone
phone
bills
and
everything
like
that,
because
with
regulation
there's
that
it
doesn't
seem
like
there's
a
cap
in
here
to
be
established.
So
you
know
I
I
I.
I
think
that
we
got
to
be
pretty
clear
about
like
that.
What's
in
and
what's
out
and
and
what
specifically
those
we
can
see,
those
dollars
going
going
for.
A
A
Significant
reason
why
we're
on
third
rebound
is
to
get
that
very
tight
conversations
with
the
industry,
as
you
can
imagine,
who
do
just
not
not
not
want
an
unlimited
number
of
dollars
to
be
able
to
do
all
behavioral
health
across
the
state
and
so
therefore
tighter
language
on
what
it
can
be
used
for
no
ability
to
supplant
and
a
cap,
so
it
can
be
no
higher
than
35
cents,
and
that
is
in
the
bill.
A
And
for
for
comparative
perspective,
julia
ready
for
the
record,
I
don't
think
I
said
that
we've
seen
other
states
going
in
the
40
cents.
It's
all
the
way
up
to
a
dollar
fifteen
that
they
are
proposing.
I
think
we're
we're
being
nevada.
I
I
did
have
a
question
it
has
been
answered,
but
if
I
may
I
just
like
to
thank
the
bill
sponsor
for
bringing
this
forward.
I
think
it's
much
needed
and
I
wish
it
wasn't,
but
I
do
believe
it's
much
needed.
B
A
B
E
Briefly,
please
sure
steph
sure
thank
you
for
the
question
stephanie
woodard
for
the
record.
Currently
there
is
some
call
exchange
already
between
the
national
suicide
prevention
call
line
through
crisis
support,
services
of
nevada
and
9-1-1,
and
so
they're
able
to
do
that.
However,
we
understand
that
the
need
for
the
interoperability
really
is
there,
because
it's
a
much
less
formal
process,
a
lot
less
automatic
than
it
needs
to
be.
So
that
is
absolutely
the
goal
we
would
not
be
having
people
hang
up
and
dial
a
new
number.
E
We
want
these
two
systems
to
run
parallel
and
be
able
to
sync
up
with
one
another.
B
A
B
Thank
you
very
much
so
with
that
dr
titus
will
be
our
last
question
and
then
we'll
move
on
from
there.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Much
appreciated
that
you
give
me
an
opportunity,
I'm
sorry
to
be
late
to
this.
This
hearing,
I
I
I'm
a
big
proponent
of
this.
It's
one
of
the
national
agendas
for
suicide.
F
It's
it's
a
national
recommendation,
I'm
just
wondering,
and
I'm
sorry,
if
it's
already
addressed,
are
there
federal
funds
to
offset
this
as
it
is
a
national
priority
and
if
not
the
net
question
number
two
is
we
know
that
we
absolutely
know
that
there
has
been
an
increase
in
suicide
during
this
covet
epidemic
and
is
there
any
thought
to
using
some
coveted
funds
to
at
least
get
this?
You
know
as
startup
funds
based
on
the
fact
that
covet
has
had
a
impact
on
suicide
in
our
state
and
I'm
sorry,
if
that's
already
been
answered.
A
E
Stephanie
woodard
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
There's
actually
two
components
here
that
I
want
to
be
able
to
highlight
so
medicaid
has
been
working
or
cms
at
the
national
level
has
been
working
very
closely
with
samsa
and
has
committed
to
collectively
providing
technical
assistance
and
guidance
to
states
so
that
we
understand
how
we
can
leverage
medicaid
to
make
sure
that
we
have
some
long-term
sustainability
built
into
our
plan.
E
In
addition
to
that,
I
did
also
just
want
to
mention
that,
since
the
american
rescue
plan
was
passed,
the
state
has
received
about
53
million
dollars
in
additional
supplemental
block
grant
funds,
with
the
expressed
desire
from
the
federal
government
to
use
those
dollars
to
be
building
the
infrastructure
and
the
seed
money,
really
that
we
need
to
be
able
to
stand
up
the
system.
E
So
that
is
exactly
what
we
are
intending
to
do
with
those
dollars,
including
expanding
access
for
all
behavioral
health
services
for
children
and
adults
throughout
the
state,
but
with
a
keen
priority
in
helping
to
use
those
dollars
to
really
build
the
infrastructure.
So
when
we
do
need
to
go
live
july,
16th
of
2022
we've
got
a
system
that
is
ready
to
go
and
that's
the
entire
cascade
of
care
that
needs
to
come,
not
just
the
call
center,
but
mobile
crisis
and
crisis
stabilization
as
well.
F
A
So
if
there's
a
gap
and
particularly
capital
because
of
how
that
money
is
likely
to
come
in
particularly
thinking
ahead
for
interoperability
on
988
and
911,
don't
know
if
that's
how
it
will
play
out,
but
we're
trying
to
cover
all
of
our
bases
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
the
medicaid
we're
doing
the
charge
on
the
phone
lines.
And
then
it's
on
the
list
for
opioid
settlement
dollars.
R
Thank
you,
madam
chair
dan
musgrove,
here,
representing
myself.
Really
madam
chair,
since
today
is
one
of
the
days
to
be
sentimental
about
your
leaving
this
building.
I
just
wanted
to
say
a
couple
of
things
really
quick.
You
know
I
started
in
this
building
at
the
same
time
as
the
chair
and
her
and
her
partner
in
commerce
and
labor
senator
townsend.
They
always
worked
on
mental
health
issues
way
back
then,
and
it
was
tough
to
get
folks
to
respond
back.
R
Then
she's
always
been
a
leader
leaders
such
as
sheila
leslie,
and
now
we
have
senator
ratty
who's
picked
up
the
mantle
of
all
the
important
bills
that
have
to
come
before
this
body
on
mental
health.
I
am
the
chair
of
the
children's
mental
health
consortium
in
clark
county,
I'm
also
a
member
of
the
clark
regional
health
policy
board.
I've
been
working
on
mental
health
issues
since
my
first
session,
whether
it's
for
clients,
whether
it's
when
I
was
a
local
government
lobbyist
and
this
system
of
care
that
we
talk
about
in
children's
mental
health.
R
988
is
just
one
more
spoke
in
the
wheel
and
it's
so
important
that
you
have
this
opportunity
for
folks
to
get
care
and
access
and
to
put
them
in
a
position
where
they
they
don't
take
the
ultimate
result
of
calling
a
suicide
hotline,
but
you
give
them
the
handoff
that
they
need
to
get
care
and
and
help
and
and
whether
it's
crisis
now
crisis
stabilization,
all
those
front
doors
that
we
need
for
folks
and
first
responders
to
get
people
help.
I'm
just
really
appreciative
of
the
work
that
this
legislature
does
and
continues
to
do.
C
Sarah
adler
here
as
a
member
of
nami
nevada's
policy
committee,
and
I
would
like
to
thank
mr
musgrove
for
doing
such
a
great
job
describing
the
behavioral
health
and
substance
use,
disorder,
stool
and
the
work
that
so
many
have
done
to
build
the
legs
of
that
stool.
So
returning
to
sb,
390,
nami
nevada
offers
its
support
for
both
parts
of
390..
C
Despite
consistent
and
dedicated
work
of
law
enforcement
in
our
state
since
2015,
nearly
one
in
three
of
fatal
police
shootings
in
nevada
have
been
of
individuals
with
mental
illness,
so
bringing
up
standing
up
988,
which
is
going
to
happen,
whether
we
engage
with
it
or
not,
and
the
way
that
this
bill
proposes
to
engage
will
really
save
lives
to
the
second
piece
of
the
bill.
That,
too,
is
very
exciting.
C
C
D
B
B
B
J
J
C
C
We
know
that
988
is
an
extremely
important
issue
and
all
of
our
companies
have
been
very
strongly
in
support
of
that
concept.
We
did
have
quite
a
bit
of
heartburn
when
the
fee
was
open
and
there
was
no
finite
information
about
a
cap
or
a
set
fee.
We
were
able
to
work
with
the
senator
senator
ratty,
as
well
as
senator
t,
kepper
and
stephanie
woodard,
to
come
up
with
a
cap
of
35
cents.
C
To
give
you
an
illustration
of
what
that
potential
is
380,
000
per
penny
is
what
we
estimate
would
be
the
tax.
So
if
it
was
raised
up
to
that
maximum
level,
it
would
be
thirteen
point
three
million
dollars
annually.
We
know
that
there
are
opioid
settlement
dollars
that
will
be
available
to
this.
We
also
know
that
money
should
not
be
supplanted
that
are
currently
funding
existing
programs,
and
so
we
also
were
able
to
get
in
a
liability
protection
for
the
the
landlines
and
wireless
companies.
C
B
B
And
committee
members,
just
so
that
everyone
knows
we'll,
be
working
on
sb,
416
next
and
then
441,
and
that
will
be
our
morning
agenda
and
then
we'll
get
back
in
the
room
as
soon
as
we
can
after
floors,
depending
upon
how
everything
rolls.
So
just
everyone
knows
what
the
plan
is
for
this
morning.
Good
morning,
majority
leader,
please
proceed
we'll
open
up
the
hearing
on
your
bill.
F
Good
morning,
madam
chair
and
committee
members,
happy
saturday
for
the
record,
I
am
nicole
cannizzaro.
I
represent
senate
district
six
in
the
northwest
portion
of
the
las
vegas
valley,
and
I'm
pleased
to
be
here
today
to
present
for
your
consideration
senate
bill
455,
which
revises
the
qualifications
to
perform
to
computed
tomography
and
fluoroscopy.
F
During
the
2019
legislative
session,
nevada
legislators
worked
diligently
with
the
radiologic
radiological
technologists
and
their
legislative
advocates
to
pass
senate
bill
130,
which
passed
the
senate
by
a
unanimous
vote
of
21-0
and
the
assembly
by
a
vote
of
40
to
0
to
1..
We
believe
that
this
measure
addressed
the
issues
that
had
been
raised
regarding
the
training
and
licensing
of
these
medical
professionals.
F
Unfortunately,
when
it
came
to
promulgating
the
regulations,
we
found
that
due
to
wording
in
the
bill,
these
radiological
technicians
are
restricted
from
receiving
the
license
needed
in
order
to
practice
fluoroscopy,
which
is
part
of
their
work
senate.
Bill
455
will
rectify
that
situation
once
hopefully
adopted
by
this
legislature.
With
your
permission,
chair
carlton,
I
would
like
to
turn
the
presentation
over
to
chad
hensley
for
his
testimony,
as
he
is
an
expert
on
this
measure
and
on
the
profession
of
radiological
technology,
and
I
believe
that
he
is
joining
us
via
zoom.
O
Good
morning,
thank
you,
chair
carlton
and
members
of
the
wade
committee.
I
am
chad
hensley,
representing
the
nevada
society
of
radiologic
technologists
and
on
behalf
of
all
radiologic
technologists
in
nevada.
I
appreciate
you
hearing
this
emergency
legislation
today
and
I
would
like
to
thank
senator
majority
leader
canisaro
for
her
remarks
and
introduction
on
this
measure.
In
2019,
sb
130
was
passed,
creating
licensing
requirements
for
those
who
operate
medical,
imaging
equipment
that
use
ionizing
radiation
such
as
x-ray
and
computer
tomography.
O
Unfortunately,
earlier
this
month
we
receive
two
technical
bulletins
that
are
in
nellis
from
the
division
of
public
and
behavioral
health,
indicating
that
individuals
holding
the
radiology
credential
would
not
be
able
to
engage
in
fluoroscopy
based
on
a
late
amendment
to
the
bill.
The
intent
of
the
fluoroscopy
amendment
offered
in
2019
was
to
allow
radio
radiation
therapists,
along
with
those
credentialed
in
radiography,
to
engage
in
fluoroscopy.
O
Rather,
it
inadvertently
limited
the
provisions
of
fluoroscopy
services
to
only
radiation
therapists.
The
impact
of
not
allowing
those
credentialed
in
radiography
to
engage
in
fluoroscopy
would
have
detrimental
impacts
to
patient
care
in
hospitals,
imaging
centers,
surgical,
centers
pain
clinics
and
any
other
facility
that
currently
rely
on
the
assistance
from
the
radiologic
technologists
in
fluoroscopic
examinations.
O
This
emergency
legislation
would
correct
this
unintentional
error
and
allow
those
who
are
properly
trained
in
fluoroscopy
to
continue
working
within
their
scope
of
practice
and
provide
high
quality
patient
care
to
those
in
nevada.
Lastly,
this
emergency
legislation
will
better
clarify
under
what
parameters
someone
can
perform
computer
tomography,
while
still
allowing
for
the
evolution
of
the
field.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
consideration.
B
Ready,
thank
you
very
much.
Anyone
else
presenting
senator.
B
And
thank
you
very
much
and
we
realize
there
is
no
fiscal
note
on
this
bill,
but
because
ways
and
means
can
meet
more
often
is
the
reason
why
we
brought
it
here
because
we
saw
it
was
an
emergency
measure.
So
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
could
get
it
processed
in
the
the
right
amount
of
time
trying
to
schedule.
Multiple
committee
hearings
gets
a
little
crazy
in
the
last
couple
of
days,
so
committee
members,
are
there
any
questions?
I
won't
use
the
term
true
up.
I've
been
told.
B
I
use
that
too
much,
so
this
rectifies
a
situation
that
we
need
to
take
care
of,
seeing
no
questions
from
any
committee
members
at
this
time.
Thank
you
very
much
majority
leader
and
thank
you
to
the
presenter.
With
that
we'll
go
ahead
and
open
it
up.
Is
there
anyone
in
the
room
in
support
of.
C
B
B
B
B
we've
fulfilled
our
commitment
to
these
folks.
Who've
been
so
patient
with
us.
The
last
couple
of
days,
we'll
now
go
to
sb
416
we'll
have
we
have
the
tax
folks
available
so
with
that,
if
we
could
get,
whoever
would
like
to
start
we'll
open
up
the
hearing
on
sb
416
and
if
you
could
give
us
a
brief
overview
and
we'll
go
from
there.
D
Thank
you,
tara,
carlton
and
members
of
the
ways
and
means
committee.
My
name
is
melanie
young
executive
director
for
the
nevada
department
of
taxation,
we're
here
before
you
on
sb
416,
which
is
a
one-shot
appropriation
of
general
funds
for
the
replacement
of
computers,
printers
software
hardware
and
other
various
it
replacements
section.
One
of
the
bill
appropriate
appropriates
146
822
for
the
replacement
of
computer
hardware
and
software.
D
D
3
provides
funding
for
259
743
dollars
to
replace
software
and
hardware,
including
servers,
sql
servers,
microsoft
windows,
servers,
data
center,
ups,
battery
supplies,
projectors
and
storage
appliances,
section
four
provides
for
funding
of
forty
thousand
and
thirty
two
dollars
for
replacement
printers
that
are
well
past
their
useful
life
and
should
have
been
replaced
in
prior
bienniums,
and
this
would
replace
twenty
seven
printers.
The
total
general
fund,
one
shot
request,
is
five
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand
five
hundred
and
nine
dollars,
and
this
concludes
our
testimony
and
we're
available
for
questions.
B
Thank
you
very
much.
Miss
young
committee
members.
Are
there
any
questions?
All
the
numbers
are
pretty
self-explanatory.
Where
we're
buying
the
stuff,
we
need
to
to
make
sure
that
everybody
can
get
their
jobs
done.
So
not
seeing
any
questions
from
any
committee
members
at
this
time,
we'll
go
ahead
and
open
it
up.
Is
there
anyone
in
the
room
in
support
of
sb
416,
seeing
none
anyone
on
zoom
in
support,
seeing
none
anyone
on
broadcast
services,
anyone
on
the
phone
line
in.
B
B
B
R
G
B
D
Thank
you,
chair
carlton,
and
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record.
My
name
is
melanie
young
executive
director
for
the
nevada
department
of
taxation.
We
are
here
to
present
sb
441,
which
is
incorporating
the
provisions
regarding
the
retailer
seller's
permit,
found
in
nrs,
372-374
and
nrs377
and
placing
them
all
in
nrs
360..
D
D
The
seller's
permit
is
issued
to
a
business
when
they
register
with
the
department
and
the
permit
is
required
for
each
business
location.
Currently,
the
fee
is
one
a
one-time
fee
of
fifteen
dollars.
There
are
currently
ninety
seven
thousand
one
hundred
four
businesses
registered
and
issued
sellers
permits.
D
Currently,
the
15
fee
is
distributed
three
different
ways:
five
dollars
goes
to
the
general
fund.
Five
dollars
goes
to
local
school
support
tax
and
the
distributive
school
account
and
the
remaining
five
dollars
is
distributed
to
the
counties
through
the
basic
city
county
relief
tax,
while
working
through
the
language
on
sb
441.
It
came
to
our
attention
that
some
local
ordinances
that
contain
the
seller's
permit
language
and
nrs
374,
requiring
certain
amounts
to
be
paid
to
the
department
for
the
seller's
permit.
D
D
The
language
in
the
nrs360
will
will
include
a
current
registration
requirement
for
sellers
permit
and
remain
the
fifteen
dollar
one-time
permit
fee
and
the
permit
fee
distribution
will
remain
as
the
same
as
it
currently
is.
This
amendment
would
no
longer
require
ordinances
at
the
local
governments
pursuant
to
nrs
377,
3877a
and
nrs377b
in
any
local
acts,
to
include
provisions
that
would
require
the
payment
of
a
seller's
permit
fee
to
the
department.
D
B
Thank
you
very
much
so
committee
members,
any
questions
for
director
young,
not
seeing
any
questions
at
that
time.
Excellent
explanation.
We
appreciate
that
so
with
that,
mr
guindon,
is
there
anything
that
you
needed
to
add.
B
B
Alrighty
and
taxation-
I'd
miss
kaufman,
just
informed
me
that
you
do
have
one
more
bill
on
our
agenda
for
today.
So
it's
the
chair's
intention
that
when
we
finish
this,
one
we'll
go
ahead
and
take
sb
437
so
that
we
can
have
you
in
and
out
of
here
and
let
you
do
the
rest
of
the
work
that
you're
supposed
to
be
doing,
even
though
it
is
saturday.
We
understand
so
with
that
this
is
the
hearing
on
sb441
I'll
go
ahead
and
open
it
up.
B
Thank
you
very
much.
Do
we
have
anyone
in
opposition
in
the
room,
seeing
none
anyone
in
opposition
on
zoom,
seeing
none
broadcast
services,
anyone
in
opposition
on
the
phone
line.
B
B
D
Thank
you,
chair
carlton
and
members
of
ways
and
means
committee.
My
name
is
melanie
young
executive
director
for
the
nevada
department
of
taxation,
sb
437
before
you
today,
when
the
department
of
taxation
was
faced
with
budgetary
reductions,
the
executive
team
met
and
looked
at
alternatives
to
proposing
budget
cuts.
Our
budget
is
primarily
funded
with
general
fund
dollars
and
our
largest
expenditure
is
for
personnel
in
reviewing
alternatives.
Sb437,
which
proposes
a
fee.
D
A
fee
increase
on
justice,
court
actions
or
proceedings
was
identified.
Section
1
revises
nrs
4.065
for
the
commencement
of
a
justice
court
action
or
proceeding
from
one
dollars
to
two
dollars.
The
funding
is
remitted
quarterly
to
the
department
for
the
use
of
the
by
the
executive
director
to
administer
the
provisions
in
nrs
360.283
and
enter
it
s
360.289.
D
These
statutory
references
outline
the
requirements
of
the
state
demographer
relating
to
the
determination
of
population,
the
certified
population
by
the
governor
in
the
apportionment
of
tax
receipts,
as
well
as
the
annual
report
of
projected
populations,
the
justice
court
fee
was
implemented
in
1991
and
has
not
changed
in
over
30
years
in
determining
the
basis
for
proposing
the
fee
adjustment.
We
looked
at
the
actual
cost
incurred
for
the
state
demographer
to
cover
the
cost
of
the
state,
demographer's,
salary
and
directly
associated
operating
expenditures.
The
fee
would
need
to
increase
from
one
dollars
to
two
dollars.
D
B
B
That
is
correct.
That's
a
year
after
I
moved
to
this
state
wow,
okay.
So
with
that
committee
members,
seeing
no
questions,
thank
you
very
much.
Miss
young
with
that
we'll
go
ahead
and
open
it
up.
Is
there
anyone
in
the
room
here
in
support
of
sb437,
seeing
none
is
there
anyone
on
zoom
in
support,
seeing
none
broadcast
services?
Is
there
anyone
on
the
phone
line
in
support
of
sb
437.
B
B
Thank
you
very
much.
Anyone
in
neutral
in
the
room,
seeing
none
neutral
on
the
zoom,
seeing
none
neutral
on
the
phone
line.
Please.
B
B
B
B
B
So,
committee
members,
what
we're
going
to
do
because
you
never
know
what
the
rest
of
the
day
is
going
to
look
like
we
do
have
the
majority
leader
has
given
us
a
little
extra
time
this
morning
to
get
our
bubble
budget
implementation
bills
taken
care
of
those
are
usually
typically
pretty
quick
and
easy.
Very
few
conversations
since
we've
already
completed
the
budget.
We've
had
thorough
conversations
about
these
issues
so
with
that
I'm
going

So

the
next
bill
that

senate

which

You

Thank

senate
bill
451
establishes
the
state's
monthly
contribution
amounts
for
health
insurance
benefits,
provides
provided
to
active
employees
and
retirees
who
retired
participants
in
the
public
employment
benefits
program
for
the
2021-23
biennium
for
active
participants,
state

B
Good
morning,
did
you
have
anything
that
you
would
like
to
add.
C
I
do
not
have
anything
that
I
would
like
to
add,
but
I
am
here
for
questions.
B
Thank
you
very
much.
We
appreciate
that
so
committee
members
had
a
number
of
discussions
about
how
pub
is
funded
and
what's
going
on
with
pub.
So
does
anyone
have
any
questions
as
it
relates
to
the
budget
implementation
bill
of
funding
pub,
not
seeing
anyone
with
any
questions
at
this
time?
Thank
you
for
being
available.
Miss
rich
with
that.
This
is
the
hearing
for
sb
451,
so
we'll
go
ahead
and
open
it
up.
B
S
S
Of
course,
sb
451
needs
to
pass,
but
the
peb
budget
closed
before
treasury
guidance
was
issued
on
the
american
rescue
plan
funds
and
some
add-backs
were
made
at
that
time,
which
we
very
much
appreciate,
but
drastic
benefits
cuts
compared
with
pre-pandemic
plan
remain
for
active
employments
for
active
employees.
Monthly
premiums
are
45
percent
higher
maximum
total
out-of-pocket
expenses
for
employees
are
54
percent
higher
now
13
000
for
a
family
on
the
base
plan.
That's
a
four
thousand
dollar
increase
for
a
family.
S
To
put
this
bill
in
context,
the
employer
contribution
was
783,
that's
in
section
1
of
this
bill
in
fy
2021,
and
now
it's
down
to
727
for
the
coming
fiscal
year
and
755
and
fy
2023,
it's
too
late
to
restore
benefits
for
fy
2022,
because
open
enrollment
ends
on
monday.
Although
the
long-term
disability
could
still
be
added
back,
however,
for
fy
2023,
there
is
still
time
to
restore
benefits
using
state
or
federal
funds.
S
S
Our
written
submission
has
details,
state
employees
and
their
families
have
suffered
from
covid
the
coveted
transformation
of
their
work
and
the
coveted
economy,
with
ample
federal
funds
available
to
cover
the
revenue
losses
for
through
2023
state
workers.
Just
do
not
understand
why
the
state
would
not
restore
benefits
and
premiums
for
its
employees,
whether
or
not
sb
451.
This
bill
is
the
vehicle.
Please
do
so.
Thank
you.
J
Q
Doug
unger
d-o-u-g
u-n-g-e-r,
southern
nevada,
government
affairs,
nevada,
faculty
alliance,
what
sb
451
means
for
44,
000
state
employees,
non-medicare
retirees
and
seventy
thousand
covered
lives
premiums
increased
forty
four
percent
deductible,
seventeen
percent
out
of
pocket
maximums.
Twenty
eight
percent
stripped
down
plan
designs
that
shift
costs
to
the
sickest
and
most
vulnerable
life
insurance
cut
in
half
long-term
disability
insurance
eliminated
tens
of
millions
taken
back
from
state
contributions
in
a
holiday
by
ab3
not
yet
restored.
Q
Q
What
should
we
report
to
unlv
and
csn
medical
teams
who
work
to
exhaustion
and
risk
their
lives
during
this
god-awful
pandemic?
What
to
say
to
the
southern
command
police
officers
who
reused
n95
masks
until
they
were
rags?
What
to
the
dozens
of
teachers
who
contracted
covid19
living
now
with
long
haul
effects?
What
do
you
tell
your
own,
hardworking
lcd
staff,
the
staff
of
pebb
workers
in
every
agency
who
put
in
unpaid
hours
month
after
month,
to
keep
this
government
running?
Q
One
of
my
department,
colleagues,
who
suffers
from
a
long-term
costly
health
condition,
perhaps
said
it
best
breaking
down
in
tears
in
a
webex
meeting
when
she
first
saw
these
punishing
cuts
to
peb.
Nobody
cares.
Don't
let
that
be
the
message.
Please
restore
the
budget
from
our
foods.
The
money
is
there.
Thank
you.
B
B
M
Thank
you,
madam
chair
senate
bill
445
prohibits
a
contract
from
requiring
the
filing
of
any
action
or
arbitration
of
dispute
that
arises
to
be
instituted
or
heard
in
another
state
or
nation,
or
from
requiring
the
state
to
indemnify
another
party
against
liability
for
damages.
The
bill
removes
an
obsolete
requirement
relating
to
quotations
formed
in
the
content
of
advertisement.
M
Therefore,
the
division
will
continue
to
be
required
to
publish
advertisements
in
at
least
one
newspaper
in
the
state
based
on
the
base
budget.
It
appears
that
the
amendment
creates
approximately
seven
thousand
one
hundred
dollars
a
year
in
expenditure,
liability
that
is
not
accounted
for
in
the
approved
budget.
M
B
N
Much,
and
as
already
mentioned,
sb
445
is
a
budget
implementation
bill
that,
thanks
to
the
amendment
in
the
senate,
no
longer
will
be
saving
the
more
than
seven
thousand
dollars
a
year.
My
understanding
is
that
purchasing
will
be
expected
to
come
forward
with
work
programs
in
fiscal
year,
22
and
fiscal
year,
23
to
put
the
money
in
the
appropriate
places,
and
with
that
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
B
Thank
you
short
succinct.
We
get
it.
We
understand
how
it's
going
understand
where
the
senate
was
coming
from
on
this
one.
So
with
that
committee
members,
are
there
any
questions
at
this
time,
not
seeing
any
questions.
Thank
you
to
everyone
on
zoom
to
be
here
for
backup.
We
appreciate
that
so
with
that.
If
this
is
the
hearing
on
sp
445
I'll
go
ahead
and
open
it
up
for
those
who
are
here
in
support
in
the
room,
seeing
none
support
on
zoom,
seeing
none
is
there.
Anyone
in
support
on
the
phone
line.
B
B
J
B
B
Thank
you.
Miss
kaufman
committee
will
consider
a
senate
bill
449
ms
goffman
thank.
M
M
B
N
Good
morning,
chair
carlton
and
members
of
the
assembly
committee
on
ways
and
means
for
the
record,
my
name
is
colin
robertson.
I
am
the
administrator
of
the
new
nevada
division
of
outdoor
recreation
endor.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
provide
very
brief
testimony
in
support
of
senate
bill
449
today.
N
The
intent
mission
and
purpose
of
the
grant
program
and
endor
are
very
closely
aligned.
The
change
will
yield
administrative
efficiencies
in
the
nevada
department
of
conservation
and
natural
resources
and
the
budget,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
and
thus
far
approved
by
the
legislature,
transfers
the
program's
associated
accounts
and
program
manager,
position
from
the
division
of
state
parks
to
endor
sb
449,
improves
statutory
clarity
and
helps
effectuate
program
and
administrative
efficiency,
along
with
the
budgetary
reorganization.
N
With
that
overview,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
and
the
committee
may
have
chair
carlton.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
present
to
you
today
and
I'd
also
like
to
say
thank
you
very
much
for
creating
the
runway
for
the
division
of
outdoor
recreation
that
I
have
the
opportunity
to
lead.
Thank
you
so
much.
B
So
we
think
this
will
be
very,
very
important
in
the
future,
so
with
that
committee
members,
are
there
any
questions
of
mr
robertson
at
this
time
not
seeing
any
this
will
be.
The
hearing
for
sb
449
always
have
to
make
sure
I
double
check
my
numbers.
So
with
that
I'll
open
it
up,
is
there
anyone
in
the
room
in
support
of
sb449,
not
seeing
anyone?
Anyone
on
zoom
not
seeing
anyone
broadcast
services,
anyone
in
support
of
sb449.
B
B
B
M
Thank
you,
madam
chair
senate
bill
457,
as
amended
temporarily
increases
the
proportion
of
proceeds
generated
from
the
imposition
of
any
license
or
registration
fees
or
other
charges
regarding
the
general
operation
of
a
motor
vehicle
available
for
administration
from
22
percent
to
27
percent
from
july
1st
2021
to
july
30th.
Excuse
me
june
30th
2026..
C
We
are
here
in
support
of
sb
457,
section
4.5
of
the
bill
temporarily
extends
our
historical
cap
from
22
to
27
percent.
The
practical
effect
of
this
legislation
allows
us
to
use
a
greater
percentage
of
highway
funds
to
fund
our
much
needed
dmv
transformation
project,
as
well
as
sustain
our
continuing
operations
throughout
the
21
to
23
biennium
and,
as
ms
kaufman
said,
the
bill
takes
effect
july
1st
2021
and
runs
through
2026
and
appreciate
your
time
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
B
B
B
Thank
you
very
much.
Anyone
in
the
room
in
opposition
hearing
no
one
in
the
room
in
opposition,
no
one
on

broadcast
services,
anyone
in
opposition
on
the
phone
line.
B
B
B
This
is
our
authorizations
bill,
which
the
committee
reviewed
as
the
draft
form
before
it,
went
to
the
senate
and
came
back
so
with
that
ms
kaufman
sb
459.
Please.
M
B
So,
committee
members,
we
did
have
a
conversation
about
this.
It
was
a
couple
of
days
ago,
so
it
could
feel
like
months
ago,
at
the
rate,
we're
going
so
are
there
any
questions
from
any
community
members
at
this
time
on
the
authorizations
bill,
not
seeing
any
questions,
this
is
the
hearing
for
sb
459,
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
open
it
up.
Is
there
anyone
here
in
support
of
fb
support
of
sb459,
seeing
no
one
in
the
room?
No
one
on
zoom
broadcast
services,
anyone
in
support
of
459.
B
B
J
B
B
B
M
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
As
just
previously
indicated
senate
bill
451
establishes
the
state
monthly
contribution
amounts
for
health
insurance
benefits
provided
to
active
employees
and
retiree
participants
in
the
public
employees
benefits
program
for
the
2021
to
2023
biennium,
laura
rich,
the
director
of
public
employees,
benefits
provided
or
presented
to
this
this
bill,
and
there
are
no
recommended
amendments.
B
Okay,
so
with
that,
are
there
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
committee
at
this
time?
We've
heard
a
lot
of
conversation
about
this,
but
we
know
where
we
are
at
this
moment
in
time
and
need
to
move
forward,
not
seeing
any
questions
so
with
that
the
chair
would
accept
a
motion
to
do
pass.
Sb
451
from
vice
chair,
monroe,
moreno
second
from
ms
benitez
thompson,
any
questions
or
comments
on
the
motion
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
any
in
opposition
hearing
no
opposition
passes
unanimously
of
those
members
present
miss
kaufman.
M
B
B
Opposition
motion
passes
with
that
will
report
the
bill
to
the
floor.
I
believe
committee
members
for
this
morning.
We
have
gotten
a
lot
done
so
with
that
we
are
going
to
go
into
a
recess
and,
as
I
said
earlier,
I
do
hope
to
get
back
into
the
committee
sometime
mid
to
late
afternoon,
but
it's
all
relative
at
at
this
point
in
time.
So
with
that,
thank
you
all
committee
members.
We
are
in.
