The
first
report
we
have
up
this
morning
is
the
department
of
health
of
health
and
human
services,
and
with
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
much
happier
closing
than
we
thought
it
was
going
to
be
two
months
ago
after
some
tears
were
shed.
So
with
that,
if
we
could
go
ahead
and
have
the
documents
passed
out,
it's
not
one
of
the
thickest
ones,
but
there's
a
lot
in
there.
I'm
happy
to
give
the
committee
members
a
couple
of
minutes
to
just
take
a
quick
look
at
it.
A
D
A
To
make
sure
that
everyone
had
the
appropriate
documents
in
front
of
them,
so
with
that,
I
believe
we
have
miss
crockett
this
morning.
Is
that
correct.

A
On
those
budgets
that
I'm
sure
thank
you
very
much,
ms
crockett,
and
in
our
closing
document
behind
there,
you
see
multiple,
multiple
pages
of
all
the
technical
adjustments
that
were
made.
So
we
knew
how
much
work
was
put
into
making
sure
that
this
was
thoroughly
buttoned
up
from
the
top
button,
all
the
way
down.
So
with
that
questions
and
comments
from
the
committee
miss
monroe
moreno,
thank.
B
B
However,
you
don't
want
to
get
amendments
so
late
into
a
session,
but
the
amendments
that
we
received
in
the
last
few
weeks
with
changes
to
our
budgets
have
allowed
us
to
write
some
of
those
decisions
that
we
made
during
the
special
session
and
even
now,
when
you
look
at
what
we're
putting
back
the
the
special
skills
training,
the
behavioral
health
case
management,
the
six
percent
provider
fee
scale
that
we're
replacing.
B
While
we
came
into
the
session
kind
of
in
a
depressing
place,
we're
leaving
knowing
that
we've
made
some
changes
now
with
this
budget,
if
we
close
it
as
it
is
knowing
we're
making
a
direct
impact
on
the
lives
positive
impact
on
on
so
many
lives,
and
I
thank
my
subcommittee
members
because
I
know
it
was
taxing,
but
we're
doing
really
good
work
here
today.
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
and
get
it
on
the
record.
B
A
You
thank
you
senator
roddy.
Did
you
have
any
comments?
No
all
good,
and
you
know,
as
I
said
in
the
subcommittee,
closing
being
able
to
restore
those
medicaid
cuts
that
happened
in
in
ab3
and
knowing
the
moment
in
time
when
we
could
do
it
and
then
working
with
the
gfo
to
make
sure
that
the
amendment
got
over
here.
We
we
all
were
in
agreement
that
that
was
something
we
needed
to
do.
A
No
one
wants
to
have
conversations
about
who
gets
a
prosthetic
versus
who
gets
basic
skills.
I
mean
the
the
the
conversations
on
that
were
just
heart-wrenching,
but
knowing
that
we
can
get
back
we're
getting
back
to
square
one,
we
still
need
to
build
a
couple
more
rungs
to
the
ladder
to
get
out
of
the
hole,
we're
not
out
of
the
hole
yet,
but
at
least
we're
we're
getting
close,
especially
to
these
vulnerable
populations.
So
this
this
is
one
of
the
good
days
in
the
legislature
at
this
moment
in
time.
F
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
thank
the
both
the
chairs
of
the
subcommittees
and
and
all
the
members
of
those
subcommittees
as
well.
This
is
probably
the
worst
not
worst.
This
is
probably
the
most
difficult
subcommittee
that
anyone
would
serve
on.
So
I
just
appreciate
all
their
hard
work,
and
with
that
I
will
make
a
motion
to
accept
and
approve
the
joint
committee
on
human
services,
closing
report
for
the
department
of
health
and
human
services
director's
office
and
division
of
health
care,
financing
and
policy.
A
I
had
a
motion
from
senator
brooks
a
second
from
miss
monroe,
moreno,
any
questions
or
comments
on
the
motion,
not
seeing
any
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
any
in
opposition
hearing
no
opposition
passage.
Oh,
I
miss
gorlo,
raise
your
hand
if
you're
an
eye.
Ms
squirrelo
signifies.
I
thank
you
very
much.
Miss
gorlo.
I
almost
forgot
about
you
this
time.
So
with
that
the
motion
passes
unanimously
of
all
the
members
that
are
present.
A
A
A
A
Okay,
I
think
we
can
go
ahead
and
begin.
I
think
we
have
mr
speed
is
that
correct
good

Yes,.
G
Madam

fiscal
analysis.
Division
today
I'll
be
reviewing
the
subcommittee
closing
report
for
the
department
of
corrections.
G
The
joint
committee
on
public
safety,
natural
resources
and
transportation
has
completed
its
review
of
the
department
of
corrections
budgets
for
the
2021-23
biennium.
The
closing
recommendations
of
the
subcommittee
resulted
in
general
fund
appropriation,
reductions
of
15.8
million
in
fiscal
year,
2022
and
15.9
million
in
fiscal
year
2023..
G
The
department's
budget
is
primarily
driven
by
the
projected
number
of
inmates
to
be
housed.
The
executive
budget
provided
funding
to
house
an
average
of
12
345
inmates
fiscal
year,
2022
and
12
000
49
inmates
in
fiscal
year,
2023,
based
on
a
populate
inmate
population,
projection
from
the
jfa
institute
october
2020..
G
Our
first
budget
will
be.
Our
first
item
will
be
to
the
department
overview.
The
subcommittee
recommended
approval
of
adjustments
to
an
annual
to
average
annual
inmate
population
caseloads,
as
included
in
the
executive
budget,
inclusive
of
21
budget
amendments
submitted
by
the
governor's
finance
office
and
technical
adjustments
to
revise
inmate-driven
expenditures
at
each
institution
for
prison,
medical,
the
offender
store
fund
and
the
may
welfare
account
which
results
in
net
reductions
in
general
fund
appropriation
of
appropriations
of
5.3
million
in
fiscal
year,
2022
and
4.4
million
in
a
fiscal
year.
G
The
department
considered
an
internal
study
to
provide
evidence
that
the
reclassification
of
the
institutions
is
the
appropriate
direction
for
the
department
should
that
the
department
should
be
going
going
in
for
the
2023-2025
biennium
through
the
agencies,
administrative
regulations,
staff
contemporarily
can
be
temporarily
reassigned
to
another
duty
location
to
meet
workload,
needs
and
needs
of
the
agency
to
address
the
movement
of
inmates
between
facilities.
These
transfers
are
not
intended
to
be
used
for
adjusting
the
legislative
legislatively
approved
staffing
levels
of
a
particular
institution.
G
G
Although
the
subcommittee
recommended
to
fund
a
new
unclassified
assistance
to
the
director
position,
funded
with
the
elimination
of
a
vacant
classified
personnel
officer
and
a
vacant
information
technology
professional
classified
position,
as
recommended
by
the
governor,
it
did
not
recommend
a
dedicated
fleet
services
vehicle
for
the
position
which
results
in
a
net
reduction
of
general
fund
appropriations
of
64
949
in
fiscal
year,
2022
and
47
931
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
2023.
G
As
recommended
by
the
governor.
The
subcommittee
recommended
general
fund
appropriations
of
297

in
the
fiscal

2022
and
300

that
was
approved
by
the
2019

but
which
was
not
otherwise
included
in
the
2021-23
biennium
based
budget
with
the
authority
for
fiscal
staff
to
make
technical
adjustments.
G
As
necessary,
the
executive
budget,
as
amended
by
the
budget
amendment
821-609-3751,
includes
funding
for
ely
state
prison
to
operate
at
a
fully
operational
level
with
a
projected
population
of
539
inmates
for

and
562

which
is

department
of
corrections
to
work
with
fiscal
staff
to
determine

the
housing
units
that
are
currently
closed
or
required
to
be
reopened
to
address
unforeseen
increase
in
inmate
population.
G
Further
direction
of
the
subcommittee,
the
governor's
finance
office,
the
department
of
corrections
and
fiscal
staff
have
identified
52
vacant
correctional
officer
positions
assigned
to
the
three
closed
housing
units
which
total,
which
total
general
fund
appropriations
of
4.5
million
1.22
and
4.7
million
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
2023
in
this
budget.
A
Population,
miss
miller.
Oh
I'm
sorry
did
I
stop
at
the
wrong
time.
E
E
But,
of
course,
the
number
one
thing
that
we're
concerned
about
is
the
safety
of
our
staff
and
our
inmates,
and
so
through,
working
and
all
just
so
that
everyone
in
the
full
joint
committee
understands
that
these
were
some
robust
hearings
where
the
committee
members
asked
very
specific
and
direct
and
necessary
questions,
and
so
what
some
of
the
decisions
that
you
see
in
some
of
the
choices
that
the
committee
made,
that
included,
suggestions,
that
additional
suggestions
really
came
from
the
intent
that
we
know
that
there's
been
some
challenges,
but
we
also
know
that
we
need
to
provide
the
flexibility
and
the
continual
communication
and
transparency
so
that
this
this
body
understands
what
is
happening
at
all
times.
E
And
so
that's
why
there's
a
lot
more
reporting
coming
into
ifc
but
again
to
provide.
What's
necessary
and
what
was
recommended
based
on
request
based
on
the
ability,
as
we
have
new
leadership
in
this
department
to
move
forward
and
based
on
what
we
feel
is
needed
in
order
to
and
achieve
through
accountability
and
transparency.
So
again,
I
just.
E
I
just
want
everyone
to
know
that
this
was
very
robust
discussions,
very
difficult
questions
and
discussions
were
asked,
and
so
we
feel,
as
the
subcommittee
joint
between
assembly
and
senate,
that
this
these
were
the
best
ideas
and
suggestions
to
help
us
move
forward.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
move
that
the
committees
not
include
funding
for
52
vacant,
correctional
officer
positions
assigned
to
three
closed
housing
units
resulting
in
reductions
in
general
fund
appropriations
of
4.5
million
and
fy
2022
and
4.7
million
in
fy
2023
in
this
budget,
and
I
move
that
we
appropriate
the
funds
as
restricted
funds
to
the
interim
finance
committee.
Contingency
account
in
order
that
the
department
could
request
part
or
all
of
that
funding.
If
housing
units
are
required
to
be
open
to
address
an
unforeseen
increase
in
the
inmate
population,.
A
I
have
a
motion
from
senator
brooks
I'll,
take
a
second
from
assemblywoman
miller,
any
questions
or
comments
on
the
motion
hearing,
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
any
in
opposition
hearing
no
opposition.
A
This
component
passes
unanimously
of
the
members
present
moving
on
and,
and
I
believe,
committee
you're
gonna
see
pretty
much
the
same
thing
again,
so
we'll
just
move
right
through
it
and
go
from
there.
So
mr
speed.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
The
next
budget
is
the
ely
conservation
camp,
which
is
budget
account
3747.,
as
recommended
by
the
governor,
the
subcommittee
recommended
general
fund
appropriations
of
eight
hundred
twelve
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
Twenty
two
and
nine
thousand
nine
hundred
sixty
eight
dollars
in
fiscal
year,
2023
to
continue
the
five
percent
increase
for
a
rural
pay,
salary
adjustment
that
was
approved
by
the
2019
legislature
for
three
custody
positions,
but
which
was
not
otherwise
included
in
the
2021-23
biennium-based
budget,
with
authority
for
staff
to
make
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
G
The
subcommittee
also
recommended
that
the
budget
be
approved
to
only
include
funding
to
operate
the
camp
at
fully
operational
at
a
fully
operational
level
for
three
months.
Only
of
staffing
and
operational
costs
for
fiscal
year
2022,
with
the
remaining
nine
months,
appropriated
as
restricted
funds
to
the
interim
finance
committee's
contingency
account
and
that
the
department
could
request
if
the
camp
is
reopened.
G
The
recommendation
provides
funding
for
the
budget
personnel
and
major
of
mixed
managers
and
camp
maintenance
and
operating
costs.
What
prevents
the
department
from
using
any
savings
in
these
appropriate
general
funds
to
fund
non-eli
conservation
camp
costs
at
other
institutions?
The
subcommittee's
recommendation
provides
funding
hospital
2022
and
places
the
remaining
fiscal
year
2022
and
fiscal
year.
2023
funding
with
the
interim
finance
committee,
rather
than
with
the
department
in
recognition
that
october
2021
would
represent
15
months
that
the
facility
will
have
been
closed
if
the
agency
has
not
reopened
the
facility.
G
By
that
time
further,
the
subcommittee
recommended
that
the
existing
sergeant
lieutenant
positions
be
transferred
from
the
ely
conservation
camp
budget
to
the
elite
state
prison
budget.
In
the
event
that
the
camp
is
not
reopened,
the
subcommittee
directed
the
governor's
finance
office
and
the
department
of
corrections
to
work
with
fiscal
staff
to
determine
the
amount
of
funding
needed
to
fund
three
months
of
staffing
and
operational
costs,
so
that
those
details
could
be
brought
to
the
full
committee
to
the
full
committees
for
closing
consideration
direction
of
the
subcommittee.
G
The
governor's
finance
office,
the
department
of
corrections
and
fiscal
staff
determine
the
appropriate
amount
of
funding
to
represent
three
months
of
staffing,
operational
costs
and
minimal
maintenance
expenditures
such
as
property
and
contents.
Insurance
utilities
ongoing
and
ongoing
maintenance
contracts,
inspections
and
certifications
to
maintain
the
facility
through
the
2021-23
biennium
for
the
full
committee's
consideration.
G
The
expenditures
identified
results
in
funding
of
482
450
dollars
in
fiscal
year,
22
to
support
three
months
of
staffing,
operational
costs,
as
well
as
minimal
maintenance
expenditures
through
june
30th,
2022
and
116
716
for
minimal
maintenance
expenditures
for
facilitator
2023.
With
balance
of
1.1
million
in
fiscal
year,
20.2
and
1.5
million
of
school
year,
2023
recommended
to
be
appropriated
as
restricted
funds
to
the
interim
finance
committee's
contingency
account.
G
If
the
early
conservation
camp
is
re-opened,
the
department
could
request
an
allocation
from
the
interim
finance
committee's
contingency
account
for
staffing,
operational
and
inmate-driven
costs
for
the
bud
for
that
budget.
If
the
camp
remains
closed
after
october,
1st
2021,
the
department
could
request
an
allocation
from
the
interim
finance
committee.
Contingency
account
for
inmate-driven
costs
in
the
budgets
of
the
facilities
in
which
the
inmates
would
would
be
otherwise
housed
if
the
total
population
of
the
institution
exceeds
the
budgeted
inmate
population.
G
No,
madam
chair,
there
are
three
additional
items
for
the
committee's
consideration.
Would
the
chair
prefer
that
I
stop
for
each
item
or
present
all
three
items
without
stopping.
A
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Second,
do
the
senate
committee
on
finance
the
assembly
committee
on
ways
and
means
wish
to
exclude
this
budget
from
the
back
language
of
the
appropriations
act
that
allows
for
the
budgetary
transfer
of
general
fund
appropriations
between
the
department
of
corrections
budgets
with
the
approval
of
the
interim
finance
committee,
except
for
three
months
of
inmate
driven
costs
budgeted
for
fiscal
year
202.?
G
A
A
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
You
know,
as
we
talked
about
this
in
in
the
subcommittee,
I
I
think
everybody
would
love
to
see
this
open
right,
but
so
we're
so
by
these
actions
that
we're
taking.
We
want
to
give
them
the
opportunity
to
do
that.
If
that
happens,
and
if
not,
you
know
so
they'll,
so
that's
that's
kind
of
our
thought
process.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
so
on
the
second
decision
point
which
allows
excludes
this.
This
is
one
that
I'm
going
to
have
a
tough
time
with,
but
I
understand
what
we're
trying
to
do
excludes
this
from
the
back
language
of
the
appropriations
act
that
allows
for
the
transfer
of
general
fund
appropriations
between
the
different
budgets.
We
realize
we're
in
a
very
unusual
time
and
I
think,
there's
been
a
common
theme
as
we've
closed.
A
A
lot
of
budgets
is
giving
some
of
the
departments
the
flexibility
that
they
need
to
come
out
of
this
pandemic
and
to
be
able
to
get
their
their
jobs
done.
But
my
request
to
my
colleagues
that
are
going
to
be
here
next
time
is:
look
at
all
that
flexibility
next
time
and
and
try
to
roll
some
some
of
it
back
if
it's
needed,
because
you
know
ultimately,
this
is
these.
A
Are
your
decisions
to
make,
and
you
know
it's
it's
this
committee's
purview
to
to
oversee
how
the
dollars
are
spent
and
yes,
sometimes
you
need
flexibility,
but
that
doesn't
mean
it
needs
to
be
ongoing,
and
especially
after
last
interim,
when
we
had
the
conversation
about
this
camp
being
closed
and
it
was
a
little
bit
of
a
surprise.
A
H
You,
madam
chair,
just
just
a
question,
so
the
I'm
kind
of
shocked
that
the
facility
is
still
closed
after
our
conversations
last
summer,
and
so
the
back
language
means
that
we're
we're
gonna
allow
some
of
the
positions
that
are
being
utilized
in
the
in
the
ely
prison
right,
but
we're
gonna
keep
the
account
open
and
then
give
them
the
flexibility
if
they
do
reopen
the
camp
that
they
can
move
those
positions
back
on
their
own.
Is
that
what
that
means?
Just
so,
I
understand.
G
H
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
just
maybe
a
little
clarification
yeah.
Clearly
the
the
eli
honor
camp
is
closed
and
probably
will
remain
closed
because
we
can't
staff
it
that
staff
was
moved
from
the
the
camp
to
the
maximum
security
prison.
It's
probably
only
running
at
probably
60
percent
right
now.
As
far
as
the
staffing
at
the
maximum
security,
the
inmates
are
down
under
600,
so
I
don't
know
how
you
get
the
people
to
reopen
the
honor
camp
when
we
can't
even
provide
the
personnel
at
the
maximum,
so
I
think
it'll
be
ongoing.
I
I
do
hope.
We
all
hope
that
it
does
open,
especially
looking
at
the
fire
season
we
probably
get
coming
forward.
We
typically
run
between
nine
and
11
crews.
Out
of
there,
which
are
firefighting,
crews,
they
won't
be
available.
So
but
again
it's
a
staffing
issue
and
clearly
we
don't
have
the
people
out
there
to
fill
the
facilities.
A
If
not
we'll
go
to
the
third
conversation
point,
which
is
the
transfer
of
the
sergeant
and
lieutenant
physicians
from
the
conservation
camp
budget
to
the
prison
budget,
if
the
camp
does
not
reopen
so
mr
roberts,
did
you
have
another
comment.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
so
I
was
just
curious
as
to
why
we
wouldn't
move
all
the
positions.
If
we're
going
to
move
the
supervisory
positions
and-
and
I
I
guess,
I'm
kind
of
digressing
to
the
last
one
too,
but
it
it's
been
closed
a
year.
It
doesn't
appear
that
it's
ever
going
to
reopen.
H
It
just
seems
kind
of
odd
that
we
would.
We
would
move
these
supervisory
positions
and
just
not
move
all
the
positions
so
that
it's
much
cleaner
in
the
budget
process.
As
to
your
point,
but
just
curious
as
to
the
back
story
on
why
the
sergeant
lieutenant
positions
are
moved.
A
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
assemblyman
roberts.
That's
the
speed
for
the
record.
The
reason
that
we
are
only
moving
the
sergeant
lieutenant
positions
is
that
currently,
the
positions
that
are
working
from
the
camp
at
ely
state
prisons
primarily
consist
of
the
correctional
officer
positions
of
which
there
are
multiple
vacant
professional
officer
positions
at
ely
state
prison
for
the
incumbents
to
move
into.
So
we
don't
have
to
move
the
positions
from
ely
conservation
camp
because
there's
open
vacancies
for
them
to
try
to
go
to
at
ely
state
prison.
G
H
A
And
we
we
know
that
a
lot
of
these
conversations
happen
in
the
subcommittee
and
we're
all
going
different
directions.
So
that's
why
we
want
to
make
sure
we
get
the
information
out
there
as
much
as
possible.
So
with
that,
the
final
conversation
point
would
be
to
recommend
a
letter
of
intent
to
have
the
department
provide
quarterly
report
to
the
interim
finance
committee
during
the
2123
biennium
on
the
status
of
the
opening
of
the
camp.
Are
there
any
questions
or
comments
on
this?
This
will
be
a
letter
of
intent.
I
will
gladly
sign.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
move
that
we
approve
recommendations,
one
or
the
first,
the
second
and
the
third
recommendations,
and
then
also
recommend
the
letter
of
intent.
A
Seeing
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
annie
in
opposition
hearing
no
opposition
passes.
Oh,
we
need
to
note
that
ms
gorlo
is
no
longer
attending
the
meeting
she
has
signed
out
for
the
meeting.
So
please
list
her
as
absent
from
this
point
on
so
with
that
motion
passes
that
takes
care.
Oh
no,
we
still
have
a
couple
more
in
here,
so
prison
medical
care.
Next.

A
I'm
sure,
thank
you
very
much,
mr
speed.
I
have
one
quick
question
and
it's
something
that
I've
I've
tracked
over
the
years,
so
the
inmate
welfare
account
using
those
dollars
to
actually
pay
for
staff
has
been
a
topic
of
discussion
on
and
off
over
a
number
of
years,
and
I
cannot
remember
in
the
past
if
we
have
done
it
and
then
backfilled
it
later
on,
have
we
funded
positions
like
this
before
in
out
of
the
inmate
welfare
account?
I
know
we
had
this
debate
in.
G
Yes,
yeah
dustin
speed
for
the
record,
yes,
ma'am
chair.
This
is
something
that's
been
been
done
before
we
find
positions
that
are
consistent
with
the
nrs
code,
with
with
respect
to
inmate
welfare
funds,
as
long
as
they're
for
the
benefit
of
all
inmates,
which
would
include
things
like
the
people
that
work
at
the
law,
library
and
then,
for
this
case,
the
staff
that
we're
asking
for
to
help
with
the
e-filing
program.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
I
get
concerns
if
we
use
it
for
the
actual
corrections
officers
because
then,
ultimately,
the
prisoners
are
paying
for
their
own
supervision.
So
as
long
as
it's
not
actually
paying
for
ceos-
and
it's
actually
a
real
benefit
to
the
inmates,
then
I
can
see
the
the
nexus
to
the
dollar.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
clarifying
that.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
had
that
conversation
on
the
on
the
record.
A
Again
there
have
been
times
where
we,
it
just
seems
to
me
very
unwieldy,
to
ask
the
prisoners
to
pay
for
their
own
corrections
officers.
That's
just
not
that
just
doesn't
make
sense
to
me
so
with
that
committee
members.
Are
there
any
other
questions
on
any
of
the
other
items
that
mr
speed
has
gone
over?
A
I
don't
see
any
so
with
that
senator
brooks.
F
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Senator
I
have
a
motion
from
senator
brooks
a
second
from
assemblywoman
miller,
any
questions
or
comments
on
the
motion.
Hearing.
None
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
any
in
opposition
hearing
no
opposition
passes
unanimously
of
the
members
present.
The
next
item
on
our
agenda
is
budget
closings,
resolving
budget
differences,
and
I
think
we
did
really
great
this
year.
We
have
two
small
issues
that
are
left.
A
So
with
that,
I
think
we're
in
a
good
place
right
now.
Staff
will
go
ahead
and
pass
out
the
document
we
won't
need
to
get
out.
The
boxing
gloves
this.
A
A
So,
committee
members,
what
we
have
before
us
on
the
report
of
budget
closing
differences
is
the
first
item
is
the
nevada
department
of
education,
the
office
of
the
superintendent.
This
relates
to
the
commission
on
school
funding.
The
joint
subcommittee
that
worked
on
this.
We
we
had
a
separate
closing.
I
thank
senator
loop
for
all
her
hard
work
on
the
subcommittee
with
me.
A
It's
honestly
when
you
stop
and
think
about
all
the
components
of
everything
that
we're
doing
with
education.
If
this
is
the
one
closing
difference
we
had,
we
are
way
ahead
of
the
curve,
so
I'd
like
to
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
ms
benitez
thompson
to
share
the
concerns
that
the
assembly
had
on
this
and
half
oops
where'd.
She
go.
A
C
C
C
C
The
senate
committee
on
finance
approved
general
fund
appropriations
of
thirty
thousand
dollars
in
fiscal
year,
twenty
twenty
two
and
seven
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
in
fiscal
year,
twenty
twenty
three
that
would
allow
two
day:
monthly
in-person
meetings
from
july
1st
2021
through
september
30th
2022
for
the
commission
on
school
funding.
C
Twenty
twenty
two
and
five
thousand
dollars
in
fiscal
year;
twenty
twenty
three,
which
would
provide
two
monthly
input
in
person
meetings
each
or
every
other
month;
or
six
in-person
meetings
and
six
virtual
meetings
in
fiscal
year
2022
and
two
two-day
in-person
meetings
and
one
virtual
meeting
through
september
30
2022
in
fiscal
year,
2023
for
the
commission
on
school
funding.
C
The
assembly
committee
on
ways
and
means
further
approved
general
fund
appropriations
of
seven
thousand
seven
hundred
forty
five
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
Twenty
twenty
two
and
five
thousand
five
hundred
ninety
five
dollars
in
fiscal
year,
2023,
which
would
provide
funding
for
operating
expenditures
and
for
department
staff
to
attend
approximately
three
to
four
in-person
commission
on
school
funding;
meetings
in
las
vegas
in
fiscal
year
2022
and
one
in
person
meeting
in
las
vegas
in
fiscal
year,
2023
for
the
period
beginning
july,
1st
2022
through
september
30th.
2022.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chairwoman.
I
I
appreciate
that
so
in
the
subcommittee,
the
conversation
was
just
around,
not
the
cost
at
all,
but
just
of
the
frequency
we
I
was
comparing
the
number
of
meetings
and
the
the
amount
of
time
spent
in
meetings
and
they're
two
days
every
month,
which
you
know
essentially
equals
24
days
out
of
calendar
year.
So
it's
you
know
it's
it's!
It's
almost
nearly
a
month
of
time
spent
in
in
this
meeting
over
the
course
of
a
calendar
year
and
and
every
other
month
just
seemed
to
be
good.
B
I
went
back
and
I
read
all
the
commission's
minutes
and
saw
that
oftentimes.
You
know
you
have
really
great
public
input
from
your
superintendents
and
you've
got
your
cfos
there,
but
I
I
I
think,
requiring
two
days
of
them
every
month
on
this
task
is,
I
think,
I
think
every
it
looks.
I
think
that
every
other
month
just
makes
more
sense,
and
I
think
it's
then
we're
fairly
asking
all
of
these
folks
from
different
districts
to
come
together.
A
Thank
you
so
senator
donderol
loop.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
too
want
to
thank
you
for
all
the
conversations
and
and
briefings
that
we've
been
through
education
always
has
a
lot
of
moving
parts.
B
B
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
know
for
me,
it
was
really
important
to
maintain
some
of
the
virtual
meetings,
which
is
what
we
discussed
on
the
assembly
side
having
them,
you
know,
meet
every
other
month
and
then
still
giving
them
the
opportunity
to
do
the
in-between
meetings
virtually
because
one
of
the
things
that
was
stated
was
that
it
was
really
important
for
the
commission
to
have
public
input.
B
H
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
they're
able
to
do
the
work
that
they
need
to
do,
and
I
think
probably
either
one
of
these
could
do
that,
but
I
just
want,
because
I
don't
think
the
majority
of
of
us
unless
you've
actually
been
to
their
meetings,
know
all
the
work
that
has
to
go
in
to
do
the
the
the
financial
work
of
school
of
education
funding.
All
of
the
folks
that
are
there
I
mean
that's
their
job-
is
to
do
that.
H
So
this
is
like
the
number
one
thing
for
them,
so
this
isn't
an
extra
burden
that
they
have
to
do.
This
is
actually
something
that
they
want
to
do,
because
it
makes
a
big
difference,
and
so
I,
my
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
they
have
the
ability
to
meet
and
that
our
staff
has
the
ability
or
the
staff,
which
is
mostly
the
department
of
ed,
has
the
ability
to
be
able
to
help
them
get
their
work
done.
H
This
commission
is
not
it's
not
like
an
interim
committee
that
meets
and
then
eventually
going
to
go
away.
This
is
something
that's
going
to
have
to
go
on
every
you
know
every
two
years
they're
gonna
have
to
because
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
always
has
to
be
done.
So
if
you
know
as
long
as
they
can
get
that
work
done,
then
then
I'm
I'm
okay,
with
whatever
we
go
with,
I'm
sure
that
if
they
have
extra
work
that
they
need
to
do,
they
can
come
to
us
and
say:
hey.
H
A
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
think
I'm
going
to
do
that.
I
hope
I'm
going
to
do
this
right.
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion,
or
I
would
like
to
look
for
a
motion
from
the
senate
to
rescind
our
our
vote
on
this
this
when
we
made
the
original
vote
on
this
item.
D
A
F
I
was
going
to
say
assemblywoman
titus,
not
yet,
but
so
that
motion
passes
and
so
we've
rescinded.
That
vote
did
I
do
that
correctly.
F
And
I
would
look
for
a
motion
from
the
senate
to
approve
the
funding
and
decisions
for
the
commission
based
upon
the
way
the
assembly
ways
and
means
the
committee
approved
that
in
the
full
committee
so
moved.
Okay,
I
have
a
motion
from
senator
dennis
in
a
second
from
senator
don
darrell
loop.
Any
discussion
on
that
motion
all
in
favor
aye,
all
opposed,
nay,
and
that
motion
passes
unanimously
in
the
senate.
A
Good
job
senator
brooks
you
got
through
your
first
budget
closing
differences,
so
happy,
there's
only
two
today,
so
with
that
ms
kaufman,
if
we
could
go
to
the
second
closing
difference,
which
is
the
governor's
office
of
economic
development,
nevada
knowledge
account
101
1533.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
The
governor
recommended
general
fund
appropriations
of
5
million,
which
was
2.5
million
dollars
per
year
over
the
2021-23
biennium.
To
continue
funding
for
the
knowledge
account
grant
projects.
A
motion
was
made
to,
alternatively
approve
general
fund
appropriations
of
2.5
million
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
2022
for
knowledge
account
grant
projects
over
the
2021
to
23
biennium.
C
A
So
our
discussion
point
here
today
is
when
we
were
having
this
conversation,
the
fiscal
universe
that
we
now
live
in
didn't
exist
at
that
time.
So
we
were
doing
our
best
to
be
conservative,
be
consistent,
try
to
keep
people
on
a
level
playing
field,
so
we
were
going
with
what
we
had
done
in
the
past.
Our
fiscal
universe
has
changed
and
we
understand
the
importance
of
these
dollars.
A
We
still
have
a
lot
of
questions
about
them,
but
we
can
keep
monitoring
it.
A
number
of
members
of
this
committee
were
around
when
we
created
the
knowledge
fund
and
we
understand
what
its
purpose
is,
and
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
it
sticks
true
to
its
purpose
in
in
the
future.
So
with
that,
I
would
accept
a
motion
to
rescind
the
assembly's
previous
action
on
budget
101
1533.
A
I
have
a
motion
from
speaker
fryerson
a
second
from
mrs
bedines
thompson,
any
questions
or
comments
on
the
motion
from
the
assembly
side.
Hearing,
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye.
Any
in
opposition
hearing
no
opposition
that
motion
has
been
rescinded.
I
believe
our
next
item
would
be
for
the
chair
to
accept
a
motion
to
approve
the
appropriations
of
five
million
dollars
over
the
2123
biennium
to
continue.
The
funding
of
the
knowledge
account
grant
projects
since
the
senate
had
not
taken
any
action
on
this.
We'll
just
move
to
this
item.
A
J
I
did
thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
just
appreciated
you
making
that
comment
about
the
fact
that
we
are
not
done
yet.
J
You
know
some
of
these
days
have
been
frustrating
days
and
the
last
couple
of
days
in
particular
have
been
have
been
sold,
but
I
really
appreciate
this
committee's
recognition
that
we
might
not
agree
on
how
to
get
there
sometimes,
but
we
usually
agree
on
where
we're
trying
to
get,
and
I
think
that
what
we're
talking
about
today
and
and
yesterday
in
particular,
I
think,
really
is
a
reflection
that
we
generally
do
agree
on
where
we're
trying
to
get-
and
this
is
sometimes
a
messy
process.
J
But
I
appreciate
that
we
have
all
gotten
in
in
in
this
up
to
up
to
our
knees,
to
try
to
make
the
right
decisions,
and
even
we
don't
agree
on
on
some
of
the
conversations
leading
up
to
it.
I
respect
that.
We,
we
frequently
agree
the
outcome
and
I
think
your
comments
reflect
that
we're
still
trying
to
get
there
and
have
to
depend
on
each
other
to
get
there.
A
A
Hearing,
none
all
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
any
in
opposition
hearing
no
opposition
passes
unanimously
of
all
the
members
present
miss
kaufman.
I
believe
that
that
pretty
that
does
it.
This
is
the
moment
in
time
where
the
joint
sub,
the
joint,
full
committees
of
the
senate,
finance
and
ways
and
means
have
pretty
much
finished
most
of
our
budget
business
we
still
have
tomorrow
to
get
through,
but
with
these
closings
that
allows
staff
to
move
forward
and
start
start
to
button
everything
up.
So
I
think
we're
as
of
this
moment
in
time
on
schedule.
A
F
No
no
problem-
I
I
just
wanted
to
to
build
upon
what
speaker
or
ryerson
just
said,
like
we've,
had
hundreds
of
of
budget
accounts,
countless
hours
of
meetings
and
between
both
houses
and
all
these
members
and
and
and
two
different
political
parties.
F
It
boils
down
to
these
two
very
simple,
closing
differences,
and
I
just
I
I
just
I'm
very
grateful
for
the
members
of
senate
finance
and
the
members
of
assembly
ways
and
means,
and
the
communication
that
that
I
have
with
you,
chair
carlton,
that
allowed
this
to
happen.
So
this
is
just
to
me
just
a
indication
of
how
much
we
have
in
common
as
opposed
to
what
we
we
differ
on.
A
A
No,
I'm
sorry,
I'm
just
teasing
you
we
do
this.
It
has
been
great
being
able
to
work
together,
and
I
think
this
is
the
first
time
we've
had
so
many
joint
meetings,
and
I
think
it's
worked
really
well
for
the
staff,
especially
with
them
having
to
be
remote
not
having
to
get
into
two
different
meetings
at
the
same
time
being
able
to
share
everything
and
go
forward.
I'm
I
believe
it's
worked
out
very
well
us
being
able
to
have
these
cohesive
conversations.

It's

should
be
better
than
48.,
with
one
of
the
most
diverse
student
populations
that
includes
significant
numbers
of
english
learners
and
at-risk
students
and
the
largest
student-to-teacher
ratio
in
the
country.
K
There's
really
no
way
to
provide
a
high-quality
education
to
every
nevada
student.
The
proposed
156
million
cut
to
class
size
reduction
over
the
next
biennium
would
mean
a
loss
of
about
a
thousand
teachers
across
the
state,
meaning
even
more
students
packed
into
nevada
classrooms.
This
is
not
acceptable.
K
Nfc
is
also
very
concerned
about
the
proposed
33
million
cut
over
the
biennium
early
literacy
supports
in
the
reap
by
grade
3
program
for
the
first
time
ever
nevada.
Fourth,
graders
are
performing
at
the
same
level
as
their
national
peers.
This
growth
has
been
tied
to
strategic
investment
made
by
nevada
through
the
read
by
grade
3
program,
along
with
investments
in
zoom
and
victory
schools
on
zoom
in
victory,
rolling
these
programs
into
the
weights
in
the
new
funny
formula.
K
Will
water
down
these
model
programs
of
education
equity
while
it's
true,
most
english
learners
and
outreach
students
are
in
other
schools,
zoom
in
victory.
Schools
are
located
in
nevada's,
most
impacted
highest
poverty
communities,
they
have
the
highest
concentration
of
students
in
poverty
and
english
learners,
zoom
and
victory
resources
and
services
are
concentrated
and
have
a
multiplier
effect
for
students
and
communities
who
need
them
most
and
they've
been
proven
effective.
Please
grandfather
these
modeled
programs.
K
A
Thank
you
very
much
broadcast
services
for
all
of
your
help
with
getting
us
through
today.
Committee
members,
it's
just
10
after
10.
you've
done
excellent
work
and
with
that
at
this,
I'm
I'm
going
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
adjourn,
but
just
just
to
give
the
committee
members
a
heads
up
beginning
next
week
we
convert
back
over
to
meeting
independently
senate
finance
and
assembly
ways
and
means
to
do
more
processing.
A
A
So
if
something
happens
during
the
day
and
we
need
to
process
something,
we
will
always
have
it
posted
that
we're
in
recess
and
then,
if
we're
on
the
floor
that
evening
we'll
just
adjourn
from
the
floor
or
if
we
have
to
go
back
to
committee,
we'll
be
adjourning
that
way.
So
I
just
want
to
give
all
the
community
members
a
heads
up,
don't
go
far
and
if
you
go
someplace,
let
us
know
where
you
are,
because
we're
going
to
keep
rolling,
whether
in
your
seat
or
not.
