And
we'll
try
to
move
through
these
as
quickly
as
possible
at
signy
die
day.
I
don't
need
an
explanation
of
how
the
earth
cooled.
I
just
need
to
know
where
the
fiscal
note
is
and
what
we
need
to
do
to
get
where
we
need
to
go.
That's
pretty
much!
It
no
explanation
of
complex
issues.
My
brain
can't
handle
any
more
complex
issues
so
with
that,
let's
go
ahead
and
start
with
sb
340,
oh
and
my
other
announcement.
A
So
on
day
119.
I
made
my
mistake,
so
I
made
it
pretty
far
into
the
session.
We
moved
to
bill
last
night
and
did
not
put
the
amendment
on
it.
Rather
than
pull
it
back
committee.
Do
it
again
send
it
back
out?
It
was
380
sb
380.
There
was
a
proposed
amendment.
We
had
all
agreed
to
it.
My
phone
was
doing
its
thing
while
we
were
doing
it,
but
I
don't
pay
attention
to
my
phone
when
we're
in
work
session.
A
So
rather
than
pull
it
back
and
do
it
again
I'm
going
to
take
that
amendment
turn
it
into
a
personal
amendment.
Do
it
on
the
floor
so
that
we
can
keep
things
moving
in
the
in
the
appropriate
style,
so
we'll
we'll
address
the
issue
when
we,
when
we
get
to
that
level
that
was
sb
380..
I
believe
the
amendment
dealt
with
some
personnel
that
was
needed
and
some
other
issues
it
was
agreed
upon.
It
was
presented
by
the
senate
to
us.
A
A
A
Did
this
I'm
not
going
to
say
that
do
do
we
have
anyone
here
to
deal
with
366.
A
Okay,
so
we'll
give
them
a
couple
of
tries,
but
three
strikes
and
you
are
out
sb
377-
is
anyone
here
to
present
sb
377.
E
E
at
raise
the
future.
We
believe
that
every
young
person
deserves
to
go
through
life,
knowing
they
have
a
caring
adult
by
their
side.
We
work
with
our
partners
at
dcfs,
dfs,
washoe,
county
and
other
agencies
to
implement
evidence-based
programs
that
aim
to
connect
our
youth
with
the
permanency.
They
need
to
successfully
navigate
life's
challenges.
E
We
know
that,
for
many
youth
in
foster
care,
general
recruitment
is
not
as
effective.
These
youth
need
the
specialized
child-focused
recruitment
efforts
of
an
evidence-based
program
like
the
model
we
implement
through
dave,
thomas
foundation
for
adoption's
signature
program.
When
these
wonderful
kids,
this
model
is
proven
to
be
up
to
three
times
more
effective
at
serving
youth
who
have
been
in
foster
care
the
longest,
including
teenagers,
children
with
special
needs
and
large
sibling
groups.
E
This
child-focused
model
was
designed
to
focus
on
youth
who
may
otherwise
emancipate
from
care
without
a
family
to
date.
It
is
the
only
evidence-based
recruitment
model
out
there.
So
far,
this
fiscal
year,
we
have
served
over
200
youth
and
witnessed
18
adoption
finalizations
from
youth
on
our
caseloads.
We
continue
to
successfully
navigate
I'm
sorry.
We
continue
to
successfully
connect
these
hardest
to
place
youth
and
help
them
achieve
permanency
through
this
program.
E
Our
biggest
need
in
other
organizations
like
ours
is
securing
an
ongoing
sustainable
source
of
funding,
which
is
what
the
reinvestment
of
the
adoption
savings
dollars
could
do.
Funding
would
ensure
uninterrupted
service
delivery
for
vulnerable
youth
who
have
experienced
multiple
placement
disruptions
and
staff
changes.
It
would
ensure
time
to
achieve
permanence
for
nevada's
hardest
to
place
longest
waiting.
Youth,
long-term
funding
would
ensure
the
support
that
newly
placed
youth
and
their
families
deserve,
and
that
is
vital
to
building
their
relationship
and
maintaining
stability
in
their
new
home.
E
Other
states
have
used
their
federal
adoption
savings
dollars
successfully
for
these
purposes
at
raise
the
future.
We
are
working
to
build
permanent
connections
for
nevada's
youth
who
are
waiting
in
foster
care
by
implementing
the
wendy's,
wonderful
kids
model
statewide,
and
we
serve
all
eligible
waiting
youth
in
nevada,
no
matter
where
they
reside
with
this
program.
E
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Senator
orrinshaw.
F
Good
morning,
chair
carlton
james
oranshaw
state
senate
district
21.
senate
bill
377
was
one
of
our
10
recommendations
from
the
interim
committee
on
child
welfare
and
juvenile
justice.
I
served
with
assemblyman
monroe
moreno
and
I
think
that
if
it
passes
there'll
be
more
money
available
for
this
program
that
I
really
do
believe
helps
kids
in
foster
care.
A
Well,
senator,
and
I
just
need
to
clarify
something:
this
wouldn't
be
more
money.
You
would
just
be
using
the
money
that
you'd
already
been
given
that
hadn't
been
spent
and
rolling
it
into
the
next
year,
so
it
wouldn't
be
more
money.
It
would
just
be
use
of
dollars,
not
reverting
back
to
the
general
fund.
If
I
understand
the
proposal
correctly,.
F
That
that's
correct
and
but
holding
on
to
that
money
and
not
having
it
revert.
I
think
it
can
be
put
to.
A
A
lot
of
goods
we
give
it
to
agencies
to
spend
in
two
years
and
if
they
don't
spend
it,
then
we
ask
everyone
to
revert
it
and
start
over
and
show
us
your
plan
for
the
next
two
years.
I
mean
if
we,
if
there
was
a
proposal
in
19,
to
spend
all
this
money
and
then
in
21
it
wasn't
spent
and
you
wanted
to
roll
it
to
22.
A
What
was
the
problem
in
19
that
the
money
didn't
get
spent?
It's
not
that
I
don't
understand
where
you're
trying
to
go
and
then
I
think
it's
a
very
worthy
cause,
but
we
have
a
set
of
policies
and
procedures
in
this
building
about
how
money
reverts
back
and
senator.
If
we
let
everyone
do
this,
we
could
probably
skip
every
other
session
and
not
show
up
which
there
would
be
a
motion
for
that
right
now.
So.
A
So,
but
I'm
just
trying,
I
I
just
want
to
understand,
what's
going
on,
if
there's
an
issue
where
you
can't
spend
the
money
in
two
years,
then
maybe
those
dollars
should
go
to
a
different
budget
and
get
that
work
done
in
a
different
budget
and
we
would
be
fine.
So
what
is
the
stumbling
block
on
being
able
to
spend
those
dollars
every
two
years
and.
F
James
lawrence
all
state
senate
21,
certainly
I
think
that
this
is
unique
compared
to
other
budgets,
chair
and,
of
course,
I'm
biased.
You
know
having
served
on
the
child,
welfare
and
juvenile
justice
committee,
I
think
for
the
last
three
interims
and
having
the
you
know,
honor
to
chair
at
this
last
interim,
but
if
I
could
reach
out
to,
I
think
we
have
mandy
davis
from
the
agency.
I
think
she
might
be
able
to
answer
that
better
than
I
can.
A
Good
morning,
ms
davis,
you
know
how
our
process
works,
so
you
know
where
I'm
coming
from.
So
if
you
could
shut
a
little
light
on
this,
that
would
be
helpful.
G
This
one
would
put
us
in
the
federal
requirement
currently
adoption
subsidies
that
we
pay
to
families
who
have
adopted
children
out
of
the
foster
care
system
are
paid
with
a
portion
of
federal
funds
and
a
portion
with
state
funds
since
2010
the
age
at
which
that
federal
funding
eligibility
went
into
place
has
been
decreasing.
So
when
it
first
started,
it
started
with
adopted
kids
in
age,
16
and
older
to
incentivize
states
to
really
push
to
get
those
kids
into
a
permanent
placement
before
they
aged
out
of
the
foster
care
system.
G
Ever
since
then,
that
age
has
been
decreasing
so
every
year
we
get
a
little
bit
more
and
more
additional
federal
funds.
Since
2015,
there
has
been
a
federal
requirement
for
us
to
reinvest
the
general
fund
savings
that
we
were
able
to
realize
based
on
those
decreasing
ages.
That
would
make
a
child
eligible
for
title
14
funds.
G
The
issue
that
we
have
is
that
every
year
with
this
budget
account
in
particular
we're
required
to
revert
back
to
state
general
funds,
regardless
of
whether
the
savings
were
due
to
vacancy
savings
or
due
to
this
decreased
eligibility
for
federal
funds.
So
it's
not
really
across
the
biennium
the
way
it
is
in
statute.
Yet
it's
at
the
end
of
every
fiscal
year
we
have
to
revert
those
funds.
The
issue
that
we
have
is
that
the
savings
are
realized
over
a
federal
fiscal
year
period
is
how
we
have
to
report
it
to
the
state.
G
So
we
don't.
We
aren't
even
aware
of
the
amount
of
savings
that
were
realized
over
the
previous
year
until
we're
into
the
next
fiscal
year.
So
the
way
the
bill
is
written,
it
would
allow
us
to
balance
forward
any
of
those
savings
that
were
realized
in
the
prior
state
fiscal
year
to
the
next
year.
If
those
funds,
if
we
could
not
reinvest
all
of
those
funds
in
that
second
year,
then
they
would
revert
at
the
end
of
that
second
year,
so
it
would
cross
by
the
way
the
bill
is
currently
written.
G
It
would
cross
bienniums
it
would.
It
would
be
on
an
annual
basis
that
we
would
be
able
to
balance
forward
those
funds
and
reinvest
them
the
next
year.
A
And
thank
you,
ms
davis,
that
that
that
helps
me
a
little
bit
because
we've
had
so
many
agencies
come
and
just
want
to
balance
things
forward.
So
I
think
the
issue
that
I'm
hearing
is
because
of
the
federal
year
and
the
amount
of
savings
and
having
to
use
those
savings.
The
federal
year
crosses
our
biennium.
So
that's
where
the
glitch
is.
G
Mandy
davis
for
the
record.
Yes,
in
order
to
meet
the
federal
requirements
to
reinvest
those
savings,
we
would
need
the
authority
to
balance
it
forward
across
every
year.
This
wouldn't
be
blanketed
balancing
forward
every
dollar
of
savings,
just
those
savings
that
are
calculated
based
on
the
federal
formula
resulting
from
the
adoption
eligibility
age
decreasing
every
year.
A
G
G
A
Okay,
thank
you
probably
should
have
done
this
one
a
little
later
in
the
day.
So
committee
members-
I
I
we,
we
see
the
problem,
we
see
the
glitch,
it's
the
federal
cycle
versus
our
cycle,
but
we
also
have
to
make
sure
that
eventually
there's
some
accounting
and
everything
gets
gets
reconciled
in
the
long
run.
So
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
understand
exactly
what
we're
looking
at
totally
supportive
of
the
program,
just
figuring
out
how
to
maneuver
the
fiscal
side
of
this
program.
H
Thank
you
so
much
so
I
guess,
as
I'm
reading
the
section
one
and
the
section
two
sub
four,
the
dollars
would
be
specifically
for
kind
of
it.
I
it
says
here
so
the
adoption,
assistance
programs
and
then
any
of
the
services
in
there,
but
I
guess
do
does
it
would
then
the
counties
that
were
sorry
our
respective
three
child
welfare
jurisdictions
have
decisions
about
whether
they
land
that
money
in
the
agency
and
their
own
adoption
recruiter,
or
does
it
have
to
go
out
to
a
third
party?
H
And
I
guess
the
second
question
of
that
would
be.
Is
I
don't
know
as
it
stands
right
now,
if
all
the
three
jurisdictions
equally
use
like
adopt
us
kids
or
the
dave
thomas
foundation,
you
know
in
a
way
that
that
you
know
just
thinking
about
how
this
might
play
out.
Are
we
going
to
see
one
county
do
something
substantially
different
than
another
county
in
terms
of
adoption,
recruitment.
G
G
Each
of
the
three
child
welfare
jurisdictions
would
have
their
own
discretion
for
how
they
choose
to
best
reinvest
those
funds.
Currently,
as
the
bill
is
written,
it
would
give
washable
county
clark
county
and
then
dcfs
overseeing
the
rural
child
welfare
programs,
their
own
separate
balance
forward
authority
based
on
the
savings
that
were
realized
in
the
previous
year.
So
each
child
welfare
jurisdiction
would
still
operate
independently
in
deciding
how
best
to
reinvest
those
funds.
H
Perfect-
and
I
think
right
now,
when
we
come
to
those
that
piece
of
our
budget
and
we're
looking
at
kind
of
the
number
of
adoptions
that
were
completed
and
finalized
over
the
past
two
years
for
each
for
each
region
and
then
we're
discussing
the
budget
piece
for
it.
This
might
be
more
of
a
question
for
our
staff.
I
guess
would
any
of
that
change
or
or
then
would
we
have
reporting
back
on
the
rollover
dollars
like
I'm
on,
because
right
now
we
can
kind
of
see
those
when
we're
working
on
those
budgets.
G
I
A
So
I
guess
I
need
to
go
back
to
and
I
that
the
budget
process
will
help
us
get
to
that
point
also
because
we
will
be
reviewing
it.
So
if
we
did
go
down
this
road,
a
letter
of
intent
would
definitely
be
needed
and
we
haven't
done
many
of
those
this
year,
but
I
think
this
would
definitely
need
a
letter
of
intent
moving
forward
as
far
as
the
reporting
goes,
but
the
the
phrase
no
restrictions.
A
So
basically,
this
money
could
be
used
for
just
about
anything,
and
I
think
that
gives
folks
a
little
bit
of
a
pause
too.
We
understand
where
you
want
to
focus
the
dollars,
and
but
we
can't
make
decisions
based
on
the
people
who
are
there.
Now
we
make
decisions
based
on
how
the
pro
program
will
run
in
the
future
and
where
will
those
dollars
actually
land
to
serve
these
families
and
children?
A
So
can
you
give
me
an
idea
if
that
term,
without
restriction
in
there
that
pretty
much
opens
it
up
to
spend
it
on
just
about
anything,
you
would
need
to
spend
it
on.
So,
can
you
give
me
some
ideas
of
how
you
would
address
that?
Where
would
those
dollars
be
going.
G
Thank
you,
mindy
davis,
for
the
record,
and
I
think
the
bill
clarifies
and
that
we
need
to
identify
the
savings
required
under
the
42
section,
united
states
code,
section
673
and
suspend
those
in
compliance
with
that
section
of
the
us
code.
I
also
want
to
just
clarify
that
any
typically,
when
an
agency
balance
forwards
funds
from
one
year
to
another,
we
need
to
do
it
through
a
work
program.
G
G
So
so
I
think
the
interim
finance
committee,
or
the
governor's
finance
office,
depending
on
the
threshold
level
for
the
work
program,
would
see
those
calculations
in
the
reconciliation
to
ensure
that
only
funds
that
were
realized
the
savings
are
being
balanced
forward
and
then
to
approve
or
not
approve
our
spending
plan
for
the
how
to
reinvest
those
savings
in
the
following.
A
Year,
questions
from
other
committee
members
at
this
time,
mr
lovett.
J
So
from
what
I
understand,
this
is
a
timing
issue
and
often
when
we
think
about
reversion
of
funds
that
were
allocated
in
the
previous
fiscal
year,
it's
because
there's
a
certain
project
or
or
something
that
was
happening,
that's
in
the
process,
but
is
not
come
due
for
payment
until
after
that
fiscal
year
ends
and
and
so
the
reversion,
the
reversion
of
the
funds
often
goes
would
be
utilized
for
that
or
or
you
would
take
those
funds
that
you're
saving
and
quickly
find
a
way
to
spend
them,
and
sometimes
it's
not
the
most
effective
way
to
utilize
that
money.
G
Thank
you
for
the
question
we,
the
majority
of
the
our
savings
that
are
realized
are
due
to
vacancy
savings.
For
the
most
part,
we
do
have
savings
for
other
operating
expenses
or
other
expenses
that
didn't
come
in
as
budgeted,
and
those
funds
would
not
be
considered
as
part
of
this
bill,
the
only
authority
that
would
be
considered
to
be
balanced
forward
as
part
of
this
bill
is
the
subsidy
payments
paid
to
adoptive
families
for
kids,
who
are
eligible
for
more
federal
funds
than
than
were
originally
anticipated.
G
So
any
additional
federal
funds
that
come
in
that
the
state
was
able
to
realize
savings
would
be
balanced
forward
to
the
following
year,
and
this
would
put
us
so
just
to
clarify.
This
is
a
federal
requirement
that
states
are
in
order
to
receive
these
additional
federal
funds.
The
federal
government
lowered
the
eligibility
requirements
on
federal
funds
that
we
could
realize.
So
this
would
this
bill
would
put
us
into
compliance
with
those
federal
requirements.
Currently,
we've
been
out
of
compliance
since
2015
when
this
first
became
a
requirement
of
states.
A
Well,
mr
levitt,
you
asked
a
very
good
ways
and
means
question
it's
sinking
in
good
job,
but
that
committee
members
any
other
questions
at
this
time.
A
A
Okay,
well
with
that
we'll
hold
on
for
just
a
moment,
we're
not
going
to
hold.
There
is
no
holding
time
today
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
proceed
and
do
support
opposition
in
neutral,
but
we
are
not
going
to
process
it
until
I
get
a
couple
more
answers.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
because
this
is
totally
out
of
the
norm
of
what
we
would
would
normally
be
doing,
but
there
there
are
some
safeguards
built
in.
So
I
do
appreciate
that
those
safeguards
are
built
in
so
with
that
this
is
the
hearing
on
senate
bill.
377
we'll
go
ahead
and
open
it
up.
Is
there
anyone
in
the
room
in
support
of
senate
bill
377.
A
K
B
Good
morning,
chair
carlton
members
of
the
committee
joanna
jacob,
I
am
actually
on
the
phone
from
clark
county
j-o-a-n-n-a-j-a-c-o-b.
We
are
in
support
of
this
bill,
chair
carlton.
We
do
work
with
ms
rowe
in
this
program
and
with
the
state,
and
we
would
support
any
letter
of
intent
or
any
measures
that
you
feel
are
necessary
to
put
in
place
in
the
budget
cycle,
because
this
is
actually
very
important
to
clark
county
to
have
this
flexibility
so
because
it
is
to
really
does
come
down
to
the
timing
of
the
program
and.
A
B
A
K
L
I
represent
the
city
of
las
vegas,
ward

but,
more
importantly,
I'm
an
adoptive
father
and
I've
been
working
with
the
child
welfare
services
in
the
state
and
the
county
clark
county
for
several
years
now.
The
the
conversation
committee
chairwoman
that
you've
had,
I
think,
is
robust
and
I'm
grateful
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
in
support
of
this
bill.
The
funding
available
and
the
conversation
is
all
useful
for
children
who
are
most
underserved
in
clark
county
and
in
the
state
of
nevada.
L
What
ms
rowe
said
and
the
conversation
from
representatives
from
dhhs
over
the
last
several
years
have
been
incredibly
supportive
of
this
type
of
measure
and
for
those
committee
members.
I
urge
your
support
and
I'm
grateful
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
and
thank
you
for
your
service
to
our
state.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
councilman
next

L
Justin
jones
j-o-s-t-I-n
j-o-n-e-s,
thank
you,
chair
carlton
and
members
of
the
committee.
I
serve
on
the
clark
county,
commission
and
testifying
here
on
behalf
of
clark
county.
In
addition
to
ms
jacobs,
I
serve
as
the
chair
of
the
department
of
family
services,
djs
policy
and
fiscal
affairs
committee,
which
considers
fiscal
issues
like
these
involved
in
sb
377.
L
As
ms
jacobs
stated
clark
county
has
the
largest
child
welfare
and
foster
care
programs
in
the
state,
and
this
is
of
utmost
importance
to
clark
county
will,
provide
critical
funding
for
child
welfare
programs
and
help
provide
homes
for
needy
children,
while
bringing
us
into
further
compliance
with
federal
law.
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
work
with
with
wwk
and
ms
rose
organizations
and
they've,
been
great
partners
for
clark
county
and
are
able
to
identify
adoptive
placements
that
we
would
not
otherwise
be
able
to
fulfill
for
the
kids
in
our
system.
L
K
L
Good

chair
vice
chair
members
of
the

I

L
Having
done
this
work
in
the
past
in
clark
county
and
worked
with
miss
rowe
in
the
past,
I
know
the
difficult
challenges
that
she
has
how
the
program
is
very
important,
and
lack
of
funding
has
always
been
sort
of
an
issue
that
needed
to
be
addressed,
and
so
this
is
a
really
great
way
to
do
so
so
in
full
support
of
this
measure.
Thank
you
very
much.

commensurate
to

a

subsection.
A
Thank
you
miss
kaufman,
and
I
should
have
prefaced
your
con
comments
by
warning
the
committee
that
this
is
what's
known
as
the
add
back
bill.
So
all
those
meetings
you
sat
in
and
we
had
to
make
cuts,
not
knowing
where
we
were
exactly
at
that
moment
in
time
and
the
tough
decisions
that
everyone
had
to
make
in
readjusting
where
we
are
at
this
time
there
are
times
when
you
can
actually
do
an
ad
back
bill
towards
the
end
of
session,
the
way
the
economic
forum
and
our
budget
closings
work.
A
It's
very
difficult
for
us
to
make
those
decisions
and
do
add,
backs
and
actually
get
them
into
the
budget.
So
this
is
how
we
adjust
for
those
cuts
that
were
made
earlier
in
the
session.
So
is
anyone
has
any
particular
questions
on
any
of
them?
I
know
the
committee
had
had
real
reservations
on
the
child
welfare
budgets
and
we
see
those
dollars
added
back
in
as
far
as
child
welfare
goes.
A
A
lot
of
these
are
the
health
and
human
services
cuts
that
we
had
to
make
the
nevada
institute
for
teaching
and
educator.
Preparation
was
an
important
one
that
we
wanted
to
do,
but
we
weren't
sure
if
we
could
so
that
one
has
been
added
back
in
the
nevada
system
of
higher
education,
the
cooperative
extension.
A
A
A
I
don't
believe
I
see
any
questions.
You
should
all
be
very
familiar
with
these,
especially
if
it
hurt
when
you
voted
on
it.
So
not
seeing
any
questions
from
any
committee
members,
no
one
would
be
presenting
on
this
other
than
miss
kaufman,
so
we
will
go
ahead
and
open
this
up
for
our
standard
hearing
process.
F
Good
morning,
madam
chair
bradley
mayer,
partnered
argentine
partners
for
the
record
b-r-a-d-l-e-y-m-a-y-e-r
representing
the
southern
nevada
and
washoe
county
health
districts
today,
and
we
just
wanted
to
express
our
appreciation
for
section
nine
one
in
four
nevada
youth
are
currently
vaping
and
half
have
tried
vaping.
So
we're
quite
appreciative
that
we
have
this
vaping
and
tobacco
prevention
money
put
back
in
the
budget
so
that
we
can
do
that
important
work.
And
why
thank
you
for
your
time
and
thank
you
for
service
to
your
to
our
state.
E
You
chair
carlton
members
of
the
committee,
maggie
of
flaherty
with
mcdonald
carano
on
behalf
of
the
american
cancer
society
cancer
action
network.
Mr
mayor
said
it
very
well,
so
I
won't
repeat
it
just
want
to
echo
those
sentiments
and.
A
K
B
Chair
carlson,
for
the
record,
my
name
is
kelly
foley
and
today
I
am
representing
the
american
heart
associates
last
session,
when
vaping
products
were
taxed
at
the
same
rate
as
other
tobacco
products.
There
was
a
five
million
dollar
appropriation
for
advertising
and
public
education
program
for
the
biennium,
unfortunately,
because
of
kovitz,
these
were
not
added
into
the
budget,
so
we
really
appreciate
you
doing
this
for
these
types
of
important
programs
and
we
hope
to
get
a
permanent
place
in
the
budget
next
session.
B
K
B
Good
morning,
vice
chair
monroe
moreno,
I'm
sorry
that
chair
carlton
may
have
left
the
meeting,
I'm
on
the
phone
joanna
jacob
from
clark
county
j-o-a-n-n-a-j-a-c-o-b.
I
just
actually
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
this
committee.
Vice
chair,
monroe,
moreno
and
chucher
carlton
at
least
put
it
in
the
record
for
continuing
to
champion
clark
county
child
welfare.
This
was
a
tough
cut
for
us
in
the
budget
cycle.
We
use
the
the
cuts
that
are
being
restored.
B
The
funding
that
is
being
restored
today
to
meet
to
meet
our
obligations
under
the
federal
program
improvement
plan,
and
we
use
these
funds
to
help
recruit,
foster
families
to
provide
placement
stability,
teach
foster
parents
skills
and
it's
going
to
make
a
real
impact.
We
are
facing
a
structural
deficit
heading
into
the
budget
cycle
in
clark
county
due
to
some
stagnation
of
federal
ethnic
funding,
and
so
restoration
of
this
funding
is
really
critical.
B
K
D
I
believe
that
was
our
last
caller
in
support,
so
we
will
move
on
to
opposition.
Do
we
have
any
opposition
joining
us
here
in
the
room?
See
none?
Do
we
have
any
opposition
on
zoom
see
none
broadcast?
Do
we
have
any
callers
on
the
line
who
wish
to
provide
up
testimony
and
opposition
for
senate
bill
460.
D
N
You
my
advice
chairs.
As
you
know,
we
are
all
been
very
busy
at
this
point
in
time
in
session,
and
I
just
don't
want
to
overlook
so
a
question
that
I
had.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
circle
back,
so
I
I
apologize
for
jumping
up
like
that,
because
I
thought
you
were
going
to
close
the
hearing.
So
I
appreciate
your
patience.
This
question
is
actually
for
staff
and
and
sarah
in
particular,
probably
who
would
have
these
numbers
number
one.
N
The
initial
testimony
or
presentation
by
our
chair
said
that
this
was
just
really
a
reinstatement
of
things
that
we
had
already
given
in
the
past
that
we
took
away
during
a
special
session,
and
so
that's
my
first
question
is:
what
is
the
total
amount,
because
I'm
I'm
trying
to
do
this
and
see
what?
How
much
do
we
actually
have
in
this
bill
that
we
are
reinstating.
N
Okay,
then,
the
the
for
me
there's
another
edition,
and
I
need
to
know
what
this
would
be
on
on
this
bill
on
line
number
seven
from
section
17,
it's
actually
new
language,
not
just
an
ad
back,
and
it's
number
seven
and
it
says
then,
and
not
that
they
may
or
may
not
deserve
it.
The
over
time
in
the
same
manner
is
provided
for
employees
of
lcb.
N
M
Madam
vice
chair
through
you
to
summon
woman
titus,
I
don't
have
an
actual
amount
for
that.
It
was
more
of
a
policy
decision
during
the
31st
and
32nd
special
session
staff
were
brought
in
and
they
were
brought
in
at
straight
time.
So,
even
though
they
were
working
overtime
for
the
the
clerical
staff
that
were
in
both
the
senate
assembly
chambers,
they
were
only
being
paid
straight
time.
This
would
allow
them
to
be
paid
commensurate
with
what
they
get
paid
during
legislative
session,
which
would
provide
them
with
overtime,
which
is
time
and
a
half.
N
M
Madam
vice
chair,
through
you
too,
dr
titus,
the
this
is
pr
prospectively.
So
if,
if
there
is
a
special
session
coming
up-
and
it
did
it's
determined
upon
that
particular
point
in
time-
how
many
days
if
there
are
a
number
of
staff
that
are
brought
in
so
this
is
purely
prospectively.
N
D
D
D
O
Thank
you,
my
vice
chair
and
members
of
the
committee.
First
of
all,
apologize
for
not
being
here
early,
but
we
had
a
ceremony
honoring
the
following
early
this
morning
and
I
I
needed
to
be
there
so.
O
So
I
won't
go
through
the
whole
bill
unless
I
really
need
to.
I
think
you
all
may
have
read
it,
but
senate
bill.
341
is
really
a
collaborative
effort
on
the
part
of
tina
dortch
and
the
members
of
the
office
of
minority
health
and
equity.
O
O
O
O
While
looking
at
what
we
were
looking
at
trying
to
make
the
bill
better,
we
also
recognized
the
fact
that
there
were
some
other
task
force
that
had
not
really
been
funded,
the
way
that
they
should
have
been
rare
diseases.
We've
got
bills
by
senator
neil
lupus
and
several
other
bills.
So
so
what
we're
really
trying
to
do
in
341
is
address
a
number
of
issues
I
see
see
ms
dortch
and
I
see
dwayne
on
the
screen,
and
I
will
turn
it
over
to
them.
If
it's
okay
with
you.
D
Thank
you
so
much.
I
know
we've
had
that
you've
had
a
policy
hearing
on
this,
so
I'd
like
to
just
get
to
the
the
fiscal
aspects
of
it.
If
mr
young
and
miss
I
think
would
like
to
whichever
one
would
like
to
go
first
to
discuss
the
fiscal
aspects
of
it.
I
know
there's
been
we're
looking
at
the
second
reprint
and
in
the
original
bill
there
was
fiscal
notes
and
those
have
been
adjusted.
If
you
could
just
speak
to
the
adjustments
and
how
we
got
there.
P
B
Young
deputy
administrator
for
the
division
of
healthcare,
finance
and
policy,
the
division
of
healthcare,
financing
and
policy
does
not
have
any
fiscal
notes
on
this.
This
would
not
be
a
cost
to
the
division,
the
bill
as
written
and
the
amended
version,
and
we
believe
that
this
is
good
policy
that
will
help
us
move
to
a
place
where
the
vendors
and
contractors
and
their
subcontractors
will
actually
reflect
the
workforce
that
they're
and
the
population
of
nevada
that
they're
serving.
Thank
you.
D
E
Good
morning
vice
chair,
thank
you
so
much
so
we
did
did
have
a
fiscal
note
on
the
bill
with
reprint
number
two
you'll
see
that
with
the
nellis
we
have
reposted
a
fiscal
note
that
now
reads
at
zero,
so
we
just
want
to
greatly
appreciate
senator
spearman,
senator
roddy
and
the
other
folks
that
helped
us
work
on
this
bill.
We
were
excited
to
implement
it
with
a
zero
dollar
fiscal
note.
D
C
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
vice
chair
and
committee
members.
As
you
mentioned,
I
am
the
manager
of
the
office
of
minority
health
and
equity
for
the
record.
My
name
is
tina,
dortch
d-o-r-t-c-h
and
if
I
may
I'd
like
to
thank
senator
spearman,
not
only
for
her
support
of
the
office
and
our
advisory
committee,
but
for
her
service
to
this
country
and
for
her
honoring
those
who
did
not
make
it
back.
C
I
also
want
to
then
point
out
that
not
only
the
provisions
of
this
bill
support
us
at
a
critical
point.
That
critical
point
has
to
do
with
the
work
that
we're
doing
to
action.
The
governor's
proclamation
proclaiming
systemic
racism,
a
public
health
crisis,
and
that
is
through
actions
of
that
steering
committee,
which
was
convened
by
the
director
of
the
department
of
health
and
human
services.
In
addition
to
provisions
of
this
bill
that
would
allow
us
to
cultivate
a
less
biased
and
more
representative
workforce.
C
Lastly,
the
passage
of
system
changing
legislation
like
senate
bill
222,
which
allows
for
the
embedding
of
diversity
liaisons
within
state
agencies.
Well,
that
was
just
one
step,
madam
chairing
committee,
but
to
achieve
that
bigger
outcome
I
just
pointed
out
requires
provisions
such
as
those
contained
in
this
bill.
Thank
you
for
my
time.
C
D
D
D
I
am
testifying
in
support
specifically
of
section
2.5,
which
authorizes
the
division
of
public
and
behavioral
health
to
apply
for
grants
to
support
the
identification,
understanding
and
mitigation
of
health
disparities
relating
to
kidney
disease
and
to
work
with
an
advisory
committee
to
establish
a
sustainable
plan
to
increase
education
and
awareness
of
the
kidney
disease
in
nevada.
10.7
percent
of
all
adults
have
diabetes
and
three
32.2
percent
have
high
blood
pressure.
D
The
prevalence
of
diabetes,
heart
disease
and
hypertension
is
higher
in
african
americans
who
develop
kidney
disease
at
a
rate
of
nearly
four
to
one
compared
to
caucasians.
While
hispanics
have
a
30
percent
higher
rate
of
developing
kidney
failure
among
19.5
percent
of
people
waiting
for
a
kidney
in
nevada,
they
identify
as
african-american,
but
in
2019
only
seven
percent
of
them
received
a
kidney
I
could
go
on.
But
in
the
interest
of
time
it
is
for
these
reasons
that
we
support
section
2.5
of
sb
341
to
address
these
disparities.
D

Good
morning,
this
is

advisory
committee
good
morning,
chair
vice
chair
and
members
of
the
committee
today,
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
service
data
quality
and
we're
in
support
of
sd
341,
I
have
testimony
on
now
that
so
in
the
interest
of
time,
I
would
just
like
to
read
for
you
there.
Thank
you
very
much.

committee
members,
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
dialysis
patient
citizens,
a
non-profit
patient
advocacy
group
that
does
advocacy
and
education
work
representing
patients
with
kidney
disease,
and
we
are
in
support
of
the
bill,
particularly
section
2.5,
that
addresses
kidney
disease.
B
We
are
very
hopeful.
This
bill
can
help
reduce
disparities,
improve
patient
outcomes
and
lower
overall
healthcare
costs.
So
thank
you
for
your
time.
K
B
Good
morning,
vice
chairman
roman
r,
minero.
B
I
am
here
in
calling
in
support
of
sb
341.
We
are
the
nevada,
disability
production
coalition
and
we
support
this
bill.
Thank
you
and
have
a
great
morning.
D
D
Thank
you
so
much,
then
we
will
move
on
to
neutral.
Do
we
have
anyone
here
in
the
room
that
would
like
to
provide
testimony
in
the
neutral
position
on
senate
bill
341
cnn.
Do
we
have
anyone
joining
us
virtually
on
zoom?
That
would
like
to
provide
testimony
in
the
neutral
position
scene
then.
Do
we
have
anyone
joining
us
by
telephone
that
would
like
to
provide
testimony
in
the
neutral
position.
D
O
Thank
you
vice
chair.
I
just
want
to
say,
although
I
appreciate
the
comments
of
gratitude
for
me,
the
ones
who
really
deserve
the
gratitude
of
those
who
didn't
come
back,
pay
the
ultimate
sacrifice.
O
O
D
Thank
you
don't
go
far.
I
know
you
have
a
few
bills
on
the
agenda,
so
we
are
going
to
pull
up
next
scr
10
and
I'm
just
going
to
grab
the
folder.
O
O
O
F
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you,
madam
vice
chair
and
members
of
the
committee
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
this
morning
I
am
my
name
is
jim
falls
for
the
record,
I'm
the
nevada
state,
geologist
and
director
of
the
nevada
bureau
of
mines
in
geology.
F
The
bureau
is
the
state's
geological
survey
and
a
public
service
unit
of
unr.
Our
mission
focuses
on
unbiased
scientific
analyses
of
the
geology,
geologic
hazards
and
natural
resources
for
the
entire
state.
I
support
scr
10
because
it
calls
for
the
study
of
renewable
energy
resources
in
nevada.
F
As
we
all
know,
the
nation
stands
at
a
crossroads
in
transitioning.
Our
energy
grid
to
mitigate
the
impacts
of
climate
change
and
nevada
is
well
poised
to
become
a
leader
in
that
transition.
F
We
have
a
wealth
of
natural
resources
that
can
help
with
that
transition
and
it's
important
to
understand
the
location
and
extent
of
those
resources
so
that
we
can
make
wise
decisions
on
on
any
development
such
that
that
development
is
environmentally
sound
and
sustainable,
and
this
resolution
will
help
us
study
those
resources
to
achieve
those
goals.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
This
morning,
and
and
and
thank
you
for
senator
spearman
for
putting
forth
this
resolution,.
O
Think
we
have
mr
steve
protocollis
on
the
line.
O
And
maybe
not
I
just
I'll
just
say
this
and
then
stand
for
questions.
O
Every
major
automobile
manufacturer
has
some
prototype
of
a
hydrogen
vehicle
and,
during
the
testimony
on
the
senate
side,
we
had
the
executive
director
for
the
international
automobile
manufacturers
that
talked
about
it.
Some
may
see
hydrogen
fuel
cells
as
being
in
competition.
It's
not
it's
not
in
competition
with
evs,
it's
another
option.
O
O
Some
of
you
may
remember
that
last
session,
we
center
brook
sponsored
a
bill
and
we
passed
it
and
the
governor
signed
it
for
50
by
30.,
and
what
that
really
means
is
that
we
have
20
23,
25
27
and
by
the
time
we
get
back
here
in
29.
O
O
D
O
D
Q
Thank
you,
madam
vice
chair,
thank
you
senator
for
bringing
this
forward
and
for
all
your
support
for
renewable
energy
and
clean
energy
development.
So
I
see
there's
a
lot.
That's
been
included
in
the
resolution
in
terms
of
looking
at
different
aspects
of
hydrogen
development,
and
I
see
references
to
green
hydrogen
in
a
couple
of
places,
including
in
the
revised
mock-up
one
looking
at
challenges
and
opportunities,
one
relating
to
green
hydrogen
associated
with
abandoned
mines-
and
I
know,
there's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
around
how
hydrogen
is
developed.
Q
The
energy
sources
that
are
used
to
make
it
can
be
clean
or
not
clean
carbon
intensive
or
not
carbon
intensive.
So
I
was
just
wondering
if
you
and
any,
if
mr
folds
wants
us
to
add
anything
as
well,
could
speak
to.
Q
So,
in
other
words,
is,
is
the
resolution
really
aimed
at
green
hydrogen,
or
is
it
all
options
related
to
to
hydrogen
fuel.
O
O
F
Q
Thank
you
for
that.
I
appreciate
that
and
I
see
that
in
a
couple
of
the
early
resolutions,
it
discusses
enabling
the
operation
of
zero
emission
vehicles
and
and
the
deployment
yeah
zero
mission
vehicles
so,
and
I
may
just
be
missing
it
looking
through
all
the
elements,
especially
in
the
mock-up
language,
but
I
hope
that,
as
we
look
at
the
economic
and
regulatory
aspects
that
we
also
look
at
the
the
emissions
and
environmental
profiles
of
different
asp,
different
options
for
producing
hydrogen.
O
D
R
Good
morning,
madam
vice
chair
and
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
sarah
adler
with
silver
state
government
relations.
This
morning,
here
representing
ibew,
1245
and
ibew's
point
is
that,
as
with
many
other
sectors
of
our
clean
energy
portfolio
in
nevada,
when
it
is
first
studied,
then
the
analysis
that
results
allows
development
of
jobs
here
in
nevada,
good
well-paying
jobs.
So
we
support
this
study.
Thank
you
very
much.
G
S
F
D
K
T
Good
morning,
vice
chair
monroe
moreno
for
the
record,
danny
thompson,
d-a-n-n-y
t-h-o-m-p-s-o-n,
I
have
to
admit
that
I
probably
am
the
closest
thing
to
an
expert
that
you're
going
to
find
on
hydrogen
and
that
hydrogen
has
been
produced
and
green
hydrogen
to
assemblyman
watts.
Question
has
been
produced
continuously
since
1940
in
henderson
at
the
bmi
complex
through
the
electrolysis
process.
T
It's
green
hydrogen
because
the
power
to
build
that
facility
came
directly
from
hoover
dam.
As
you
know,
it
was
a
war
effort
and
after
the
war,
the
the
government
sold
the
different
parts
of
the
plan
off
to
different
industries.
T
T
Those
cells
operated
at
600,
volts
and
13
000
amps,
you
had
to
cut
them
out,
live
and
in
1969
there
was
no
such
thing
as
osha,
so
it
was
a
little
bit
interesting
to
say
the
least
and
the
cells
would
produce,
because
you
would
a
little
chemistry
lesson.
If
you
took
salt
water,
h2o
nacl
and
you
put
600
volts
to
it,
it
will
release
the
chlorine
the
cl,
so
you
get
chlorine,
you
get
two
hydrogens
and
oxygen
and
a
sodium
hydroxide
that
is
then
made
into
soap
and
bleach.
T
And
then,
if
you
mix
the
hydroxide
back
with
the
chlorine,
you
get
bleach,
they
would
take
the
hydrogen
and
we
would
burn
it
in
a
boiler
and
then
later
started
a
hydrochloric
acid
plant.
So
you
take
the
hydrogen,
you
would
burn
it
in
this
vessel
and
because
chlorine
is
an
is
an
oxidizer,
it
will
burn
and
then
the
vapors
would
condense
in
the
food
grade.
Hydrochloric
acid,
and
so
hydrogen
is
a
very
important
fuel
in
that
you
can't
see
it.
T
You
can't
taste
it
you
can't
smell
it,
but
probably
is
the
most
volatile
thing.
You've
ever
seen,
I've
been
set
on
fire
by
hydrogen
numerous
times
in
my
life
working
there.
I
worked
there
for
21
years,
and
so
you
know
most
people
didn't
know
that
was
being
done.
They
tore
that
facility
down
about
two
years
ago.
T
The
connection
to
hoover
dam
is
still
there,
though,
and
I
think
the
importance
of
this
study
can't
be
understated,
because
there
is
an
opportunity
there
now
to
replace
that
facility
or
even
build
a
new
facility
that
would
run
off
of
solar
power,
which
you
know,
because
the
voltage
from
the
hoover
dam
was
converted
from
ac
to
dc
at
600
volts
dc.
It
had
a
pretty
elaborate
set
of
rectifiers
and
transformers,
but
it
was
done
and
was
the
quantities
I
mean.
T
I
can't
understate
how
much
was
made
there
literally
24
hours
a
day,
seven
days
a
week,
365
days
a
year,
because
you
couldn't
shut
down
one
part
of
the
plant
without
shutting
down
the
whole
thing.
So
I
want
to
thank
senator
spearman
and
and
on
behalf
of
ibw
396
and
1245,
we're
very
excited
about
this
study,
because
hydrogen
truly
can
be
one
of
the
well
truly
is
going
to
be
one
of
the
energies
of
the
future.
Thank
you.
K
T
B
K
S
Afghanistan
2010
as
the
civil
engineering
commander
of
both
locations
and
the
significance
of
scr
10,
is
that
it
will
provide
a
renewable
energy
source
once
the
study
is
completed
and
give
us
the
information
we
need
to
move
forward.
So
I
want
to
say
thank
you
very
much
to
the
senate.
Concur
resolution.
S
Sponsor
senator
spearman,
in
addition
to
being
a
colleague
and
in
service
she's,
also
been
a
huge
proponent
of
renewable
energy
in
terms
of
both
the
employment
it
can
provide,
but
to
the
extent
that
our
chamber
focuses
on
the
economic
development
opportunity
as
well,
we
have
two
priorities
at
the
urban
chamber:
number
one
participating
in
the
expansion
and
diversification
of
the
nevada
economy
and
then
number
two
make
sure
that
there's
diversity
and
inclusion
in
terms
of
our
small,
diverse
businesses
that
we
represent
when
you're
doing
number
one.

Good
morning
sir

and
vice
chair,
danielle,
moro,

and
members
of
the
ways
and
means
committee
for
the
record,
my
name
is
ariel
edwards
e

w
a
r
d
s
with
the
city
of
north
las
vegas.
We
are
in
support
of
this
measure
and
would
like
to
thank
senator
spearman
for
bringing
this
bill
forward.
We
urge
a
supportive
package.
Thank
you.
K
K
K

M-A-R-I-E-S-T-E-E-L-E
and
I'm
here
today
to
testify
and
support
on
behalf
of
nb
energy.
Thank
you
to
senator
spearman
for
bringing
this
forward.
We
share
the
enthusiasm
of
the
sponsor
and
presenters
for
clean
energy
development
and
zero
emission
transportation.
I'll
keep
this
short.
Given
the
time
we
look
forward
to
the
opportunity
to
study
and
discuss
over
the
interim
how
hydrogen
can
further
benefit
the
people
of
our
state
and
the
economy
while
advancing
climate
goals.
Thank
you
again
for
your
time
today.
That
concludes
our
testimony
in
support
of

Good
morning,
madam
vice
chair
and
committee,
this
is
lisa
mosley
l-e-I-s-a-m-o-s-e-l-e-y
and
I
was
actually
calling
in
support
of
fcr
10
and
somehow
missed
getting
in
the
queue.
I
won't
take
much
of
your
time.
I
would
just
like
to
say
ditto
to
all
of
the
previous
callers
and
support,
particularly
those
comments
of
mr
ken
evans
from
the
urban
chamber
of
commerce,
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
senator
spearman
for
bringing
this
bill
and
to
the
committee
for
hearing
so
again.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time.
Bye-Bye.
D
D
B
Thank
you,
madam
vice
chair
and
members
of
the
assembly,
ways
and
means
committee
reagan
comas
with
r
r
partners
representing
the
nevada
mining
association,
and
I
know
we
are
short
on
time
so
I'll
just
quickly.
Thank
senator
spearman
for
working
with
us
on
on
this,
and
we
are
in
neutral
with
the
amendment.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much.
D
K
I
We
would
like
to
offer
some
brief
comments
on
on
the
resolution
and
green
hydrogen
nrdc,
and
many
analysts
of
deep
decarbonization
believe
that
green
hydrogen
and
that's
the
type
of
hydrogen
made
by
using
renewable
electricity
sources
like
wind
and
solar.
I
Many
analysts
believe
this
green
hydrogen
will
be
an
important
energy
carrier
in
the
transition
to
a
zero
emissions
economy.
This
is
because
green
hydrogen
allows
us
to
transform
renewable
electricity
into
a
fuel
that
can
be
used
to
decarbonize
parts
of
the
economy
that
are
difficult
to
serve
with
electricity
directly.
I
Examples
of
that
include
long
distance,
trucking,
aviation
and
industrial
processes
that
require
a
lot
of
heat.
Green
hydrogen
could
also
be
used
to
store
renewable
electricity
from
season
to
season,
but
the
benefits
of
hydrogen
generally
depend
on
how
it
is
made
and
different
types
of
hydrogen
are
not
created.
Equal
95
of
the
hydrogen
produced
today
is
so-called
gray.
Hydrogen
created
from
the
steam
reformation
of
the
fossil
fuel
methane.
I
Fuel
nrdc
was
concerned
during
the
resolution's
initial
hearing
on
may
6th
that
proponents
arguments
about
hydrogen
assigning
to
basically
all
colors
of
the
hydrogen
rainbow
benefits
that
will
only
manifest
if
specific
types
of
hydrogen
are
used
in
specific
applications,
and
there
may
be
other
processes
such
as
the
nevada
climate
initiative,
where
the
topic
of
green
hydrogen's
role
in
nevada
and
nevada's
energy
feature
can
be
examined,
especially
in
light
of
the
state's
goal
to
achieve
zero
greenhouse
gas
emissions
by
2050..
Thank
you.
D
K
B
B
Looking
at
all,
options
of
are
will
be
critically
important,
but
with
that
in
mind,
we
urge
the
study
to
consider
the
use
of
green
hydrogen
that
is
produced
with
clean
energy.
Sierra
club
does
not
support
hydrogen
that
would
extend
the
life
of
any
fossil
fuel
generation
in
nevada,
and
this
is
a
very
important
distinction
to
make,
as
mr
sullivan
suggested,
when
looking
at
the
different
types
of
hydrogen
so
we're
neutral
and
thank
the
sponsor
for
her
time
and
consideration
on
this
bill.
D
Thank
you
so
much
that
ends
our
testimony.
Senator
sperman
did
you
have
any
closing
comments,
quick,
closing
comments.
O
Thank
you
motor
vice
chair.
I
appreciate
all
the
callers
calling
in
support
neutral
and
I
want
to
emphasize
again-
and
I
kind
of
liken
this
to
you
know.
Sometimes
people
refuse
to
write
a
will
just
if,
if
you
don't
write
a
will,
that
doesn't
mean
you're
not
going
to
die
and
given
the
fact
that
we
already
have
a
an
international
company
here,
I
think
that
it
is
prudent
for
us
to
study
hydrogen
to
figure
out
exactly
what
is
or
is
not
good
for
the
state
as
well
as
for
the
nation.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Madam
vice
chair
got
to
go
to
a
conference
committee
the
first
time
in
a
decade.
I
think
I've
got
to
do
a
conference
committee
so
with
that
I
believe
the
next
bill
we
need
to
work
on
since
senator
spearman
is
here,
senator
don't
leave.
We
have
you
here.
We
want
to
do
one
more
and
then
we'll
go
to
our
other
budget
bill.
O
O
Senator
163
seeks
to
honor
the
contributions
of
what
has
now
become
commonly
known
as
the
divine
nine
that
is,
those
are
the
black
fraternities
and
sororities.
O
I
think
that
it's
important
to
note
that
as
a
state,
I
don't
know
that
we've
ever
bestowed
this
type
of
honor
on
a
black
organization,
and
I
think
it's
particularly
poignant,
as
today
marks
the
hundredth
year
anniversary
of
the
tulsa
oklahoma
fire
and
greenwood
destroyed
greenwood,
some
of
the
some
of
the
things
that
and
a
lot
of
people
think
fraternities
and
sororities
are
just
parties,
but
that's
not
that's
not
really
what
we
do.
O
You
look
at
kappa
alpha
psi.
They
have
the
kappa
league.
That
is
a
very,
very
valuable
program,
especially
for
for
young
men
who
are
who
need
guidance
and
they
take
them
under
their
wing.
I
want
to
say
it's
like
for
two
years
and
they
have
opportunities
that
they
probably
never
would
have
had
travel
being
introduced
to
various
and
central
things.
O
It's
not
known
a
whole
lot,
but
many
of
the
members
of
the
divine
nine
participated
in
selma
march
participated
in
planting
some
of
the
sit-ins.
I
have
a
have
a
couple
of
friends
who
are
now
in
there.
I
think
in
mid
80s
and
anytime,
you
see
the
you
see
the
picture
of
the
students
sitting
at
the
lunch
counter
in
nashville.
O
Two
of
those
are
friends
of
mine
and
they're
members
of
alpha
kappa
alpha
and
what
they
did.
They
went
to
tennessee
state
and
what
they
did.
They
decided
as
students,
and
they
cited
as
a
part
of
the
greek
organizations
that
they
would
lend
their
voice
and
support
to
that
cause.
They
were
started
divine.
Nine.
O
All
these
organizations
were
started
at
a
time
when
black
people
couldn't
go
to
white
schools,
and
not
only
could
we
not
go
to
white
schools,
but
there
were
no
real
professional
organizations
that
we
could
join,
and
so
this
was
a
way
for
for
our
founders
to
say
service
to
all
of
mankind
and
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
we
have
for
lack
of
a
better
term
I'll,
say
coalition.
O
But
we
have
a
group
of
people
who
who
understand
what
it
means
to
arrive
at
the
party
but
also
make
sure
you're
reaching
back
getting
others
in.
You
may
not
know
that.
Martin
luther
king
was
a
member
of
alpha
phi
alpha,
his
wife,
coretta
scott
king
was
a
member
of
aka.
Alpha
kappa
alpha
and
I
could
go
on,
but
for
brevity's
sake,
you
know
I
I'll
give
you
my
testimony
that
we
had
in
the
senate.
O
A
D
I
have
the
the
pleasure
of
being
chair
of
growth
and
infrastructure,
which
is
the
committee
during
the
legislative
session
that
hears
special
license
plate
spills.
But
in
the
interim
I
chaired
the
special
license
plate
interim
committee
and
as
I
looked
at
the
bill,
I
was
very
concerned
with
the
the
number
of
license
plates
before
my
service
here
in
the
legislature.
D
I
served
in
correctional
law
enforcement
and
I
hated
seeing
so
many
different
plates
in
our
state.
You
never
know
if
it's
truly
a
real
plate
or
what
but
having
nine
plates
was
problematic.
For
me,
I
agree
with
the
senator
that
this
plate
is
very
important.
So
in
my
conversation
with
the
senator
and
community
members,
I'm
submitting
a
amendment
to
have
one
plate
that
recognizes
all
nine
of
the
divine
nine
and
splitting
the
proceeds
from
the
revenue
that
would
be
generated
to
go.
D
Ten
percent
to
the
united
negro
college
fund
and
the
remaining
90
to
be
divided
equally
with
the
nine
divine
nine
organizations
and
it
would
add,
because
senator
assemblyman
fryerson
speaker
fryerson
and
I
have
been
working
hard
to
get
to
this.
Add
myself
and
assembly
and
speaker
fryerson
as
primary
co-sponsors.
A
So
committee
members
questions
dr
titus.
N
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
senator
for
for
being
at
the
table.
Thank
you
for
your
service
and
your
compassion
and
and
your
dedication
to
nevada
vice
chair,
the
question
really
is
directed
to
you
on
the
distribution
of
the
funds
and-
and
certainly
I
am
supportive
of
this.
I
think
it's
a
great
concept.
I
think
people
have
the
option
if
they
choose
to
buy
this
plate.
My
question
is
how
many
of
these
it
looks
like
one
of
these
is
actually
a
chapter
in
nevada
and
the
other
nine
they're
still
number
one.
N
D
N
A
Thank
you
and
thank
you
vice
chair
for
working
on
this,
knowing
how
I
feel
about
license
plates.
She
was
very
brave
to
even
approach
me,
so
mr
lovett.
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
My
question
is
more
towards
the
fiscal
note.
It
looks
like
the
fiscal
note
was
removed.
The
dmv
has
agreed
to
donate
hours,
and
I
just
didn't
know
how
that
worked.
I
I
I
wasn't
aware
that
the
dmv
could
donate
hours
to
a
certain
cause.
I
I
I
agree
with
the
concept
in
in
in
creation
of
the
plate
and
realize
that
there's
a
cost
associated
with
it
anytime.
We
do
that.
J
A
Well,
mr
lovett,
before
miss
monroe,
mourinho
answers,
and
I
think
her
answer
is
going
to
be
more
succinct.
Mine
would
be
to
you
that
there
are
a
number
of
times
when
folks
come
to
us
and
say
that
they
believe
that
they
can
absorb
something
if
they
they
feel
that
they
have
the
capacity
to
be
able
to
absorb
it.
So
I
would
assume
that
was
probably
the
discussion
around
that,
but
also
ms
monroe
mourinho
will
clarify
exactly
where
this
fiscal
note
stands
right
now,.
D
Thank
you
so
much,
madam
chair.
In
response
to
someone
levitt's
question.
The
fiscal
note
that
is
on
nella's
is
the
fiscal
note
that
was
associated
with
the
original
bill,
so
the
fiscal
note
has
not
been
adjusted.
D
J
O
You
excuse
me,
madam
chair.
I
believe
sean
service
from
dmv
is
on
the
phone
as
well.
If
you,
through
any
questions.
A
Minimum
and
if
so,
how
long
would
they
have
to
reach
that
level?
I
believe
it
would
comply
with
all
of
their
special
license
plates,
so
this
would
not
exempt
them
from
any
other
criteria
that
any
other
special
license
plate
would
have
to
go
through.
Otherwise,
we
wouldn't
be
having
this
conversation
right
now.
A
K
S
K-E-N-N-T-H-E-V-A-N-S,
an
individual
member
of
omega
sci-fi
fraternity
as
well
as
a
community
member
in
the
state
of
nevada.
S
What
I
would
like
to
say
is
that
I'm
calling
to
support
sb
163
for
the
reasons
stated,
our
fraternities
and
sororities
contribute
greatly
to
the
nevada
community,
and
this
represents
an
excellent
opportunity
to
provide
resources
as
well
as
recognition
for
us
to
continue
that
service.
So,
for
those
reasons,
I
support
sb
163
and
thank
the
bill
sponsor
senator
spearman,
as
well
as
the
co-sponsors
assemblywoman
monroeman
reno,
or
vice
chairman
roman
reno,
as
well
as
speaker,
jason
farson.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
A
K
L
First
of
all,
I
wanted
to
thank
the
bill
sponsor
for
working
with
us
on
this
bill
and
also
thank
you
thank
her
for
her
service
today
and
madam
chair
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
all
of
your
service
too,
to
the
state
of
nevada
and
you
will
be
missed.
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
the
fiscal
note.
The
discussion
was
correct
that
there
are
programming
hours
on
the
fiscal
note,
but
it
is
under
our
two
thousand
dollar
threshold.
L
So
the
result
is
a
zero
impact
fiscal
note
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
the
senator
on
these
plates
as
this
bill
passes.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
sever.
We
appreciate
that
so
any
other
callers
in
neutral
on
the
phone
line.
Please.
A
All
right,
so
with
that,
I
believe
we
can
go
ahead
and
bring
it
back
to
the
committee.
I
don't
think
we
need
any
other
comments
at
this
time,
so
committee
members,
that
amendment
is
there
we'll
be
processing
this
quickly,
because
with
amendments
we
need
to
keep
things
moving.
So
with
that
the
next
bill
that
needs
to
be
addressed
this
morning.
A
Where
did
my
agenda?
Go?
Oh,
it's
right!
Here
is
sorry
about
that
guys.
I
do
that
all
the
time
sb
461,
so
let
me
preface
the
conversation
and
then
I'll
go
to
miss
kaufman.
A
So
the
conversation
around
the
america,
the
the
rescue
dollars
that
we
have
been
discussing
very
very
deeply
in
in
this
building
through
this
whole
session,
trying
to
figure
out
you
know
first,
it
was
when
we're.
When
are
we
going
to
get
the
guidance?
How
is
this
going
to
work?
How
do
you
submit
the
documents
through
the
portal?
Where
are
we
actually
with
us,
because
we
know
these
dollars
are
going
to
have
a
significant
impact
on
the
state
of
nevada?
We
also
know
that
those
dollars
are
it's
it's
day.
120.
A
Those
dollars
are
not
here,
but
we
still
know
that
we
have
priorities
in
the
state
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
can
be
addressed
and
that
the
legislature
doesn't
slow
the
process
down
that
we
can
set
a
set
of
priorities.
So
we
can
give
some
guidance
and
work
towards
making
sure
that
a
lot
of
those
tough
discussions
we
had
about
cuts
and
making
sure
that
families
were
still
served
and
were
helped
to
succeed
and
get
through
get
through
these
economic
hard
times.
A
We
don't
necessarily
need
to
come
back
and
come
together
for
a
day
or
two
to
do
that.
There
is
a
process
by
which
we
can
set
this
up
to
set
our
priorities
to
allow
these
dollars
to
hit
the
ground
running
as
soon
as
they're
here,
and
we
won't
slow
the
process
up.
So
that
is
the
impetus
behind
sb
461,
it's
being
called
the
waterfall
bill,
and
basically
we
are
setting
our
priorities
to
say.
A
As
the
money
comes
in.
These
are
the
things
that
we
feel
the
most
strongly
about.
I've
said
many
many
times
your
your
budget
is
a
reflection
of
where
your
moral
compass
is
and
where
you
need
to
go
so
with
that,
I'm
going
to
open
up
to
miss
kaufman
to
walk
through
the
bill
and
then
have
discussion
with
the
committee
members
on
the
bill
itself.
Ms
kaufman.
M
Thank
you,
madam
chair
senate
bill
461
provides
a
priorities
for
the
coronavirus
state
and
local
fiscal
recovery
funds
as
follows:
calculates
lost
revenue
and
deposits
into
the
general
fund,
35
300,
335
million
dollars
for
the
repayment
of
unemployment
compensation
funds,
twenty
million
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
behavioral
health
related
to
related
services,
7.6
million
dollars
for
food
insecurity.
H
H
Is
that
going
to
help
us
with
kind
of
some
solvency
issues,
or
I
know
that
we
had
talked
at
one
point
about?
I
think
we
had
authorized
ourselves
to
take
a
loan
if
we
needed
to
for
the
unemployment
fund.
But
could
you
walk
through
a
little
bit
about
how
this
impacts
that.
M
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
through
you
to
the
majority
leader,
the
amount
that's
provided
in
to
a
would
essentially
pay
back
the
loan
that
the
state
of
nevada
has
on
its
unemployment
compensation
fund.
Currently
it
is
roughly
around,
I
believe,
331
million.
However,
there's
just
a
little
bit
of
a
cushion
in
there
and
in
the
event
that
it
exceeds
it.
So
it
essentially
brings
us
the
state
to
to
zero.
So
you
may
recall,
prior
to
the
pandemic,
there
was
close
to
two
billion
dollars
in
that
ui
trust
fund.
M
So
this
essentially
just
brings
it
right
back
to
essentially
not
having
a
loan
out.
H
Thank
you
so
much
and
then
so
as
a
follow-up
for
our
businesses
that
pay
into
that
that
the
trust
fund
there
was
concern
about
rates
having
to
go
up
in
order
to
recoup
that
and
we're
essentially
taking
care
of
that
for
them
with
this
allocation
of
the
federal
money.
So
I
know
we
heard
some
great
concern
from
from
business
and
small
business
about
their
rates
going
up,
and
so
that
that
won't
happen.
Correct.
M
A
And
if
I
could
just
elaborate
on
that
a
little
bit
in
the
last
fiscal
crisis
we
were
in,
we
had
to
take
those
loans
also,
and
we
ended
up.
We
ended
up
the
the
folks
at
dieter
where
were
came
up
with
a
unique
solution
to
where
we
bonded
it
out,
and
then
they
paid
it
back
and
we
got
it
paid
back,
but
it
still
ended
up
impacting
all
the
small
employers
nonprofits
anyone
that
actually
does
business
in
this
state
that
that
has
employees.
A
This
has
an
impact,
so
this
will
be
one
of
the
small
things
that
we
can
do
to
not
have
that
one
more
thing
added
on
to
that
bill,
as
everyone
is
trying
to
climb
out
of
the
pandemic
and
get
back
to
to
square
one
in
the
future.
This
will
be
one
way
to
lessen
those
impacts
of
the
pandemic
on
everyone
who
pays
into
this
fund.
J
And
first
off
I.
J
That
we
help
our
small
businesses
and
nonprofits
right
now
and
I
just
had
a
question
for
miss
kaufman.
I
I
don't
know
if
I
heard
the
number
correct,
but
I
believe
you
said
the
ui
trust
was
a
was
it.
You
said
two
billion.
I
just
didn't.
I
didn't
quite
hear.
M
F
Thank
you,
ma'am
chair
and
in
the
same
line
of
questioning
the
majority
leader
covered
my
questions
exactly
I'm
just
curious
as
to
as
we're
at
zero
or
a
little
less
than
zero,
actually
we'll
be
on
the
positive.
F
M
Ms
kaufman,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
Through
you,
too
sun,
loom
and
roberts.
We
we
have
been
monitoring
that
it
appears
that
we're
at
an
area
where
we're
just
about
break
even
at
this
point
that
that
said,
things
could
change,
and
you
could
go
into
a
loaning
scenario.
Again,
that's
not
to
say
that
that
you
know
this
is
going
to
be
the
beginning
of
a
climbing
or
a
savings
into
our
trust
fund
again,
and
so
this
this
would
essentially
break
even
at
this
particular
point
in
time.
A
And
if
I
could
just
elaborate
on
that,
the
way
you
solve
the
unemployment
trust
fund
issues
is
putting
people
back
to
work
and
we've
had
a
number
of
pieces
of
legislation
in
this
building
that
are
going
to
help
people
get
back
to
work
and
they
set
the
rates
every
year.
So
we're
hoping
that
the
indicators
for
the
next
year
will
guide
them
towards
a
rate
that
will,
if
you
stop
and
think
about
it,
our
unemployment
rate
was
15,
16,
seven,
it
just
kept
growing
and
growing
growing.
A
We
don't
think
we're
going
to
see
that
again
in
the
near
future.
Hopefully
we'll
get
we'll
stay
in
seven.
Eight
and
nine.
Those
impacts
would
be
much
smaller,
spread
across
the
employer
base
and
in
in
the
state
than
when
we
had
close
to
30
percent
unemployment.
So
this
is
dealing
with
that
drastic
hit
that
we
had
for
those
those
six
months.
F
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
that,
madam
chair
and
and
on
another
just
curious
note.
So
as
arp
funding
becomes
available
and
let's
say
we
start
to
have
to
dip
back
in
and
loan
money,
we
could
actually
replenish
that
in
the
interim
more
and
bring
that
up
to
speed
more.
If
that
was,
if
that
were
the
case
from.
T
M
Madam
chair,
through
you,
too
salmon
roberts.
Yes,
that
is
correct,
I
believe,
in
the
guidance
it's
indicates
that
the
ui
trust
could
be
paid
back
to
pre-pandemic
levels.
A
No
and
and
that's
fine
keeping
in
mind
that
this
is
a
balancing
act
and
there
was
a
lot
of
harm
done
across
the
state
in
all
different
sectors
and
we're
trying
to
make
an
impact
on
all
of
the
different
sectors.
A
P
P
I
just
want
to
say
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart
and
on
behalf
of
three
square.
Thank
you
for
all
of
the
work
that
you
have
done
for
food
security.
This
session,
I
just
came
back
from
the
bill
signing
for
sb
370,
the
food
purchase
plan
seriously
the
work
that
you
have
done
for
us
this
session
and
prior
sessions
has
literally
saved
people's
lives.
P
It
has
helped
keep
families
together
and
the
additional
funding,
and
this
bill
is
going
to
allow
us
to
continue
to
navigate
the
uncharted
waters
as
we
continue
to
recover
from
not
only
a
coronavirus
pandemic,
but
also
a
housing
crisis.
So
I
am
incredibly
grateful,
and
I
thank
all
of
you
for
your
time.
This
session.
A
And
thank
you
for
all
of
your
work
because
we
know
what
the
last
year
has
been
like
and
we
know
who
stepped
up
and
got
the
work
done.
So
thank
you
and
all
your
staff
and
all
your
volunteers
that
were
there
for
long
hours,
making
sure
families
were
fed.
Thank
you
very
much,
thank
you
so
with
that
mr
daley,
madam.
F
Some
comments
generally
about
the
federal
relief
funds,
so
the
federal
elementary
and
secondary
school
emergency
relief
for
esser
funds
will
provide
financial
relief
for
school
districts
to
address
the
impacts
of
the
covet
19
pandemic.
But
the
more
flexible
american
rescue
plan
dollars
can
help
our
schools
be
even
stronger
over
the
coming
years,
improving
the
quality
of
education
for
every
nevada
student.
We
applaud
the
leadership
of
the
biden
administration
congressional
leadership
for
making
these
dollars
available.
F
We
also
want
to
acknowledge
the
work
of
nevada's
congressional
delegation
delegation,
along
with
our
parent,
the
national
education
association,
leading
up
to
the
passage
of
the
arp.
Nea
members
wrote
hundreds
of
thousands
of
messages
placed
thousands
of
phone
calls
to
their
representatives,
resulting
in
the
single
largest
investment
ever
in
education.
F
F
Well,
madam
chair,
I
was
addressing
both
esther
dollars,
but
also
the
dollars
to
be
made
available
through
this
bill
in
the
line
item
to
strengthen
public
education
in
nevada.
F
A
A
R
Person
please
good
morning,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
committee.
My
name
is
sarah
adler
and
I'm
with
you
at
this
moment
as
a
member
of
the
nami
policy
committee
and
I'm
speaking
to
the
line
that
addresses
disadvantaged
communities
in
the
bill.
But
we
believe
this
bill
establishes
an
important
framework
for
assisting
communities
that
have
been
particularly
affected
by
the
pandemic,
and
that
certainly
includes
individuals
with
mental
illness
and
co-occurring
disorder
and
emergency
and
transitional
and
affordable
and
permanent
supportive
housing
for
these
communities
is
extremely
important.
R
R
Q
D
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee
jeanette
bells,
on
behalf
of
the
nevada
psychiatric
association
in
brief
page
2
lines,
14
and
15..
Thank
you
very
much
for
including
mental
health
treatment
and
substance,
abu
treatment
and
other
behavioral
health
services
very
important
post
pandemic.
Thank
you.
F
Benjamin
challenger,
representing
policy
director
for
faith
in
action,
nevada,
the
portion
that
mirrors
the
every
nevada
framework-
that's
extremely
important
to
us,
because
our
communities
have
been
devastated
by
the
pandemic,
and
this
bill
is
the
first
step
to
making
sure
that
we
are
not
only
able
to
get
them
to
where
they
were
before,
but
making
sure
that
they're
able
to
thrive
past
this
pandemic.
So,
thank
you
so
much
and
we
look
forward
to
moving
forward
with
this
bill
and
making
sure
that
funding
gets
to
those
who
need
it.
Thank.
G
A
A
A
A
Thank
you
very
much
so
with
that
committee
members,
any
other
questions
or
comments.
As
we
move
forward,
seeing
none,
we
will
go
ahead
and
close
the
hearing
on
sb
461,
everybody
just
stand
at
ease
for
just
a
moment.
Don't
leave
the.
A
A
Right
committee
members,
so
there
are
amendments
in
the
queue
for
some
of
our
previous
work
that
need
to
be
reviewed,
so
we're
gonna,
we're
gonna,
go
ahead
and
move
some
things
now
to
keep
everything
going
and
then
we're
going
to
need
to
recess,
to
allow
staff
to
go
through
the
other
amendments
to
make
sure
that
they
can
get
to
the
floor
in
time
to
be
able
to
be
adopted
and
get
back
to
the
north
end
of
the
building.
So
with
that,
let's
go
ahead
and
take
care
of
some
bills
and
get
them
out
of
here.
M
There
was
a
fiscal
and
note
that
was
provided
on
this
related
to
programming
hours.
However,
department
of
motor
vehicles
indicated
that
it
can
absorb
the
impact
of
that.
There
was
also
a
conceptual
amendment
that
was
proposed
by
assembly
woman,
monroe
moreno,
which
identifies
how
the
proceeds
from
the
license
plates
should
be
dispersed
among
the
the
nine,
the
divine
nine
organizations,
as
well
as
to
the
united
negro
college
fund,
and
also
adds
assemblyman
freyerson,
as
well
as
someone
monroe
moreno
as
sponsors
to
the
bill.
A
So
with
that
committee
members
we
just
discussed
this.
Are
there
any
other
questions
at
this
time?
Not
seeing
any
other
questions.
This
would
be
an
amendment
to
pass
with
the
proposed
amendment
from
vice
chair
I'll,
take
a
motion
from
speaker,
fryerson,
a
second
from
assemblywomanhottagey
any
questions
or
comments
on
the
motion,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
and
annie
in
opposition
hearing.
No
opposition
passes
unanimously
of
the
members
present
with
that.
I
believe
we
need
to
go
to
sb
460..
M
A
So,
committee
members-
we
just
walk
through
that
one
just
a
little
bit
ago
had
conversations
about
it.
Are
there
any
questions
on
one
of
my
favorite
things
to
do
is
add
back
money.
Seeing
none
with
fat.
There
were
no
proposed
amendments.
This
would
be
a
do
pass
I'll.
Take
a
due
pass
from
miss
monroe
moreno,
a
second
from
ms
bedius
thompson,
any
questions
or
comments
hearing,
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
any
in
opposition
hearing
no
opposition
passes
unanimously
of
the
members
present.
We
will
move
to
sb
461.
M
A
A
A
M
Thank
you,
madam
chair
senate.
Bill
341,
as
amended,
relates
to
racial
equal
equity.
Excuse
me:
it
authorizes
the
division
of
public
and
behavioral
health
and
of
the
department
of
health
and
human
services
to
apply
for
available
grants
to
address
disparities
in
health
care
and
specifically
related
to
kidney
diseases
that
are
based
off
a
race.
M
A
A
A
Hearing,
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
any
in
opposition
hearing
no
opposition
passes
unanimously
of
the
member.
I'm
sorry.
What
did
I
miss
someone?
Was
there
someone
in
opposition?
Okay?
I
apologize.
Sometimes
I
put
my
head
down
and
don't
glance
as
far
right
as
I
need
to
so
with
that
it
does
pass
unanimously
of
the
members
present.
So
with
that
moving
on
to
senate
bill
377.
M
Thank
you,
madam
chair
senate.
Bill
377,
as
amended,
would
allow
clark
county
child
welfare,
washoe
county
child
welfare
and
rural
child
welfare
to
retain
unexpected
general
fund
appropriations
for
adoption
subsidy
payments
at
the
end
of
each
fiscal
year.
The
funds
would
be
allowed
to
balance
forward
from
one
for
one
year
be
available
for
general
child
welfare
services
and
revert
to
the
general
fund.
If
unexpended
by
the
end
of
the
second
year
balance
forward,
funds
would
be
utilized
to
meet
federal
adoption,
subsidy,
reinvestment
requirements.
A
Okay
committee
members,
we
did
have
a
conversation
about
this
very
early
this
morning.
I
had
a
lot
more
concerns
at
that
moment
in
time
that
I
have
right
now.
I
believe,
with
the
conversation
on
the
reporting
and
coming
to
ifc
and
all
the
that
I
think,
there's
some
some
safeguards
built
into
this.
A
A
And
I'll
make
sure
that
it
has
all
the
concerns
that
we
discussed
addressed
in
that
letter
of
intent
as
we
move
forward.
So
with
that
committee
members.
Are
there
any
questions
on
sb,
377.
A
A
My
only
comment
is
this
better
work
and
we
better
not
find
out
somebody's
messing
with
it.
That's
all
I've
got
to
say
so
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
any
in
opposition
hearing
none
passes
unanimously
of
the
members
present,
but
we're
going
to
watch
this
okay.
So
with
that,
I
believe
we
have
addressed
everything
that
we
need
to
move
at
this
time
to
make
sure
that
things
are
lined
up
in
the
right
order.
So
we
do
have
amendments
that
need
to
be
reviewed.
A
H
And
I
think
just
to
highlight
your
point
to
qualm
anxiety
that
we're
giving
staff
time
to
review
amendments.
I
know
everyone's
asking
well
when's.
My
bill
movement
is
my
bill
movement
and
we
have
them
legal
legals,
working
hard,
they're
drafting
amendments.
We
have
to
have
staff
check
them
and
double
check
them.
You
know,
and
so
we
just
